“Flynn is also one of the most ardent defenders of Trump’s false claim that he won last year’s presidential election.” Now you know where Arutz Sheva stands.
He did say that. I think he had a brain fart.
There is always a short quote from Flynn, making him appear extreme.
Saw him on television recently, he seemed level headed.
I assume his words get taken out of context. Not sure, but why would he call for one religion?
Then again it’s no great crime to wish everyone was a Christian, Jew, Muslim or anything else you’d like. Not sure how it could be achieved, except I know exactly how the Muslims could come close to achieving it. Look at what they’ve done in every country they dominate.
Wow, back in the old days, Christian pastors were actually Christian.
And the Pope was actually Catholic.
And the President was actually patriotic.
And we believed network news.
And colleges actually were there for smart students.
I would be puzzled by that statement because I thought the idea was not to have one religion imposed upon people.
Gen, Flynn is right.
We are one Nation under God, not one Nation under gods.
Are we a nation of many gods or just one? Therefore what he said was not too outrageous.
Amazing what a possible loss of tax exempt status will do to your recollection of events.
I am so sick of gutless little worms apologizing when anyone says boo.
I spent half a day finding his full speech and it was inclusive of all forms of Christianity and equated to, We need to get back to being good Christians and that Christians need to get off their butts and get involved with politics starting at the local level.
That’s what the whole ReAwaken America tour is about because it’s pretty obvious that the Left is godless, consider themselves superior to the rest of us and is taking over.
It’s all about fighting back and he and others are aiming that message at Christians. Would we prefer that message was aimed at people who don’t believe in God or people who worship Allah? What other religions are even prevalent?
It’s about getting back to the values that started this country.
Yet another pastor who is really just a sheep.
It isn’t really appropriate for a church to host an event of this sort even if nothing questionable had been said. It’s church - keep it church.
There should be only one religion period.
John Hagee was always a more vigorous proponent of Israel than the United States.
A rabbi once told me something I never forgot, he said “you can tell me what god you serve, but I will know what god you serve only by observing how you conduct your life”.
Words mean little, actions convey much more.
Nepotism always produces cowardice. John Hagee should be ashamed.
Who forced the pastor to do that?
It would have been refreshing if Matt Hagee had contacted Flynn for clarification, or perhaps an interview instead of distancing himself...
Hagees have always exemplified the “best” of what being a Christian is supposed to be :( /sarc
The United States was founded as a Christian nation. That means the majority of people in this country identified as Christian even though there were many different sectarian views. But the unique idea in our nation was to disentangle government from religion.
Remember that America began as a result of mostly Christian people fleeing persecution in Europe as a result of the conflict between Catholics and protestants and various sectarian views that were enforced by the governments of the nations that made them the official religion.The founders allowed for the possibility of specific sectarian denominations of Christianity to be the official religion of states, Districts or commonwealths. It was up to each state to determine the role of government and specific endorsement a religion within that state. Eventually all states adopted the position that there was no official state religion either.
However various communities sprung up that were built around the local church or religious community that shared a common faith. There was enough common ground between all of the different religious persuasions in order to unite us as a nation.
I don’t know what general Flynn’s intention was but we do have a problem today of the government failing to protect religious freedom and imposing a Secular or even anti-religious worldview upon our society.
We also have a problem with religions that innately are unable to respect the freedom of religion in general.
Furthermore, if we were to again become an overwhelmingly Christian nation, this would be reflected in the choice of people that are chosen to represent us in our government. This is how it should be.
His message in context was that all people of faith need to come together to fight the tyranny that is happening.
His exact words, were not well expressed - perhaps he should have a memorized speech so that what he means is more clearly expressed.
He did make a post on his telegram that he was NOT advocating for only one religion is USA.
