My dear friends, I know I'm going to get it for this post but in love I must say it (2 Cor. 12:15). Someone has to and it might as well be me. For the past 8 years I have been feeling the spiritual temperature at Free Republic and other conservative forums and have found that moral and biblical relativism, biblical ignorance, conservative optimism, Christian ecumenicalism and the outright rejection of the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12, Rom. 10:2-4, 1 Cor. 15:1-4, Eph. 2:8-9) nearly dominate this and other conservative forums. Thank God for Free Republic, they do a great job, are sincere and mean well and are a great group of people who truly love America and conservatism as I do, but... that in itself is not enough to aid us in this dire hour. An individual today has to see the complete ETERNAL picture and that includes biblical REALITY and the reception of it. Conservatism without a saving relationship to Jesus Christ as the Holy Scriptures clearly teach is ETERNALLY bankrupt.
American conservatives of today are no different from the Pharisees of Jesus day. These were conservative, moral, go to "church" to put it in our day language and were quite familiar with the Old Testament, but when push came to shove they outright rejected Almighty God's righteousness and saving solution for their souls in SPIRIT and TRUTH and held their traditions and conservatism above the Word of Almighty God.
Thank God for some God fearing, Bible believing, evangelical presence at Free Republic, who help point America's conservatives to the Gospel, the REALITY of the hour and Almighty God's biblical perspective, but sadly these are usually scoffed at and laughed to scorn by American conservatives who are lost and without a saving relationship to Jesus Christ, the Messiah of Israel (Isa. 53, Matt. 7:21-32, Rom. 10:2-4, 1 Cor. 2:14). Tragically the dominant spirit there is one of unbelief, subjective conservative optimism, spiritual delusion and ETERNAL blindness (Rom. 10:2-4). The temperature and pulse of American conservatives who actually believe the Bible and its saving message is near dead and ice cold. That is a heart breaking reality that God the Father has had to show me these last five years and with tears in my eyes I wish I could change that but I cannot choose for an individual to receive the Savior.

My dear friends, oh how we need Divine REALITY today and not delusional optimism and worldly solutions for our EXPONENTIAL global crises. Almighty God cries out to you all day long but will YOU receive Him and His ETERNAL solutions for your life? That is the biggest question ALL must ask themselves in these last days. All these current events and crises of our global community are self induced by the lawless and godless works of fallen man and are driving this world straight into the Day of the Lord (Rom. 1:18-32, Gal. 6:7, Rev. 6-19). These products or fruits of evil men and their consequences are left in place to bring us to the brink of our delusions so that we may come out of our subjective selves and show us our desperate need for the Savior, His pardon, and His RIGHTEOUSNESS.
My dear friends, WHAT WILL YOU DO? Will you continue to look for worldly solutions and conservative human saviors or will you finally come to the end of yourself and receive the KING of kings and LORD of lords who is the WONDERFUL COUNSELOR and PRINCE of PEACE.
My dear friends, WHAT WILL YOU DO? Will you continue to look for worldly solutions and conservative human saviors or will you finally come to the end of yourself and receive the KING of kings and LORD of lords who is the WONDERFUL COUNSELOR and PRINCE of PEACE (Isa. 9:6-7, Rev. 19:11-16). All ETERNITY is before us and our brief existence in this fallen world is about gone. See the ETERNAL, see the Savior, see the REALITY and you will find the liberation and peace of Almighty God that will calm your hearts in America's last hours.

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Conservatism Without the Righteousness of Almighty God is Bankrupt.
1 Corinthians Chapter 15
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
Cool. You should run a forum site. I tried to checkout your link, but your jewelry pop-up ad kept me away. Wouldn’t let me read your page.
I feel like I’ve been judged by a Christian stranger that knows nothing of me.
Only one person is allowed to tell me if I’m properly spiritual or not.
I can’t tell if this thread is serious, Undead Thread material, or something else.
It reads like a poor attempt to get a rise out of people outside the religion forum...
...since it was posted in News.
I’ve noticed the change as well over the last 14.5 years. It is sad.

In case you missed it, “Pagan Heathens” (I have been called such by church goers due to my not being part of their approved group or clique) opposed the fallacy of what a troll posted at that link.
You’re welcome.
That’s kind of the reaction I get, even though I really hammer, hammer, hammer on the love aspect of it. And that is theologically sound: “God is love.” That’s at the root of everything God is about. There are things around that pretend to be God’s love and are not, but I’m not here to push any of them, at least not that I can help.
If love can’t be accepted, then what can? That love crazy ole HTRN may go away, but God won’t. He’s going to force a choice and the environment could shake quite violently.

Jesus isn't running for President. This is a Conservative, activist site focused on politics. The main focus isn't religion.
Feeling are quite untrustworthy as they are often bigoted by the feelings of any individual worldwide and are quite deceptive. You know that. Only Jesus Christ judges all men after death and He judges by whether or not they believed How that He was crucified for our sins and rose again the third day. No works, no boasting allowed as it was His work at Calvary that purchased salvation for sinners. No other works accepted by God the Father, as the Scriptures teach all who read them and they are written by holy men of old as directed by the Holy Spirit of God.
Kinda funny, people keep on going around assuming this HAS to be the church model.

We’re being told we all are not as spiritual as SOMEONE ELSE thinks we should be according to THEIR estimation.
......OK..........
Well, you’re going to get evangelism here. But nobody forces it down your throat. You can always ignore it.
This is about someones knickers in a knot? *eyes rolling*
Pretty much.
I avoid the RF as they’re cannibals. If I need something I call my Pastor who is also a personal friend.
The main focus of life is to glorify Christ, the God of Israel and to live joyfully with him forever. Politics will not save one soul at all, whether it is good or evil, as it is God who determines Salvation as He purchased it with the strength of His Arm by Jesus Christ.
