You slam another accusation... that I’m certain of something which of course is wrong... then say we are now done.
That doesn’t say a lot about ME.

That’s a pretty pointed accusation.
Who is trying to steal God’s glory here?
You accusing me now?
To: Roman_War_Criminal
I’m saying check to see if the shoe fits: if it doesn’t you’re fine, if it does you know what to do.

But the immediate high level of defensiveness on your part, does not say a lot about ME.

I have a few issues with your post - I don't believe that "God cries out all day long". God is omnipotent and therefore effortlessly compelling. Psalm 65:4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
- While I believe God blesses, preserves and saves nations and causes, I think you should have addressed the post to individuals like "Conservatives of Free Republic" instead of the group of the website as a whole. Psalm 22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's: and he is the governor among the nations.
- It's as presumptuous to believe that we are in America's "last hours" as it is to believe that we are not. Who knows God's will? He uses America and it's wicked rulers and people to carry out His precise will. But ulitimately: Psalm 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
- It's not on us as Christians to beg people to change the worldview that God gave them. We should simply bear witness to the truth. Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
- Your website hung up my computer.

Ok, you feel you have to say it, fine.
But know that this is a conservative political forum, yes, filled with great Christians, but we non Christians are welcomed here by Jim and we are here to stay. Your post doesn’t offend me in the least but no, we don’t have to be Christian to be here.

You objected to me first. Not the other way around.
I’m fine with the initial post.

Unfortunately, many so called conservatives (even on here) are athiests/agnostic or oppose religion in general. They are fiscal conservatives, not social.
And religion should play a part in being conservative, or have you not bothered to read CS Lewis’ Screwtape Letters?

The object is to finish the race, not win it, for none shall be first now.
Much like Paul, I say I am the chief of sinners. I fall yet I get back up rather than wallow on the ground in misery at my failure.
But that isn't your concern though you've taken it as yours.
And now that you've noticed the splinter in the eyes of others...what is the beam in your own eye...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Let him begin by treating his Patriotism or Pacifism as a part of his religion. Then let him, under the influence of a partisan spirit, come to regard it as the most important part. Then quietly and gradually nurse him on to the stage at which the religion becomes merely part of the “cause”... Once you have made the World an end, and faith a means, you have almost won your man, and it makes very little difference what kind of worldly end he is pursuing. Provided that meetings, pamphlets, policies, movements, causes, and crusades, matter more to him than prayers and sacraments and charity, he is ours â and the more “religious” (on those terms) the more securely ours. I could show you a pretty cageful down here. - Screwtape Letters, CS Lewis
Many Freepers (you included) embody this quote. As far as judging (Christians are called to judge) you can tell a lot by people’s posts here.
And Christ didn’t say to be engaged in fighting evil, either.

I don't know that Christ wants to turn our situation around. But if He does, I hope he has chosen Cruz to do it.
He could choose Trump to take us into utter bankruptcy. He's taken Trump there many times before, on a smaller scale, and still Trump does not fear Him.
