May God grant you “repentance to the acknowledging of the truth.”

Which Truth is the Bible. When and how were you born of the Spirit?

The redeemed are those who have been spiritually born of the Spirit (Jn. 3:2-7) by effectual, penitent, heart-purifying, regenerating faith (Acts 10:43-47; Acts 15:7-9) in the Divine Son of God sent be the Father to be the Savior of the world, (1 Jn. 4:14) who saves sinners by His sinless shed blood, on His account, rendering them "accepted in the Beloved" (Eph. 1:6; Eph. 2:6-9) - not deserved by any merit of themselves or any church.

And which faith is imputed for righteousness, (Romans 4:5) and is shown in baptism and following the Lord, (Acts 2:38-47; Jn. 10:27, 28) whom they shall go to be with or His return (Phil 1:23; 2Cor. 5:8 [“we”]; Heb. 12:22,23; 1Cor. 15:51ff'; 1Thess. 4:17)

In contrast to those who were never born of the Spirit or who terminally fall away. (Gal. 5:1-4; Heb. 3:12; Heb. 10:25-39) Glory and thanks be to God.

Do you think all the testimonies of persecution of evangelicals in Russia and later in into Ukraine are lies? Or that they are working for the CIA? Or that such persecution is right? And that opposing Putin should be outlawed?

Or that opposing Putin in this and expansion while supporting his stance against LGBTQ means supporting Western liberalism/wokeism, which also persecutes conservative evangelicals, and yearns to have Putin's power?

America is going down, while China is the main military foe.

The turn of the rulers of Russia to Orthodoxy is pragmatic. Communism, even under some degree of cultural conservatism under Stalin, does not encourage nuclear family formation Many nations outside Africa are falling below replacement rate. Russia needs to increase its population and encouraging Orthodoxy will cause preaching favoring traditional families. I don't think the Russian authorities are interested in the divisions within Islam, Judaism, or Buddhism. Russia was traditionally an Orthodox country, and Protestant denominations, the Roman Catholic Church, and splinter groups like the Mormons undermine the unity that Orthodoxy brought to Tsarist Russia. Additionally, all these denominations have Western ties.

Revelation 3:20 King James Version (KJV)

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Why is Jesus knocking at the door of his OWN church?

Because Jesus is NOT in the typical church in the LAST age of the church which is the Laodicean age as Laodicea not ONLY refers to an ancient and historic church but all seven churches also TYPIFY an age of the church.

I have been “unchurched” for over two decades because Jesus will not be found in the typical church in America.

Humanism has overtaken the typical church.

If Jesus Christ is NOT in the typical church in America in this the last age of the church, then I am fairly certain that he is not in the typical churches of Europe and Asia.

The inerrant word of God is a teaching instrument.

It uses “types” to teach.

Those that do not have the eyes to discern “types” are stuck with a biblical view akin to the legalists known as the Pharisees.

Jesus Christ is my LORD and SAVIOUR, for testifying to this I am not ashamed.

The truth is that the Russians are standing up to wickedness far better than WE are.

The biggest enemy of Christianity and freedom on the planet are the globalist elite. Part of the war in Ukraine is because they tried to force the LGBT agenda onto Russia and the Russians resisted.

Stop believing some twisted perversion of Bible prophecy about Russia and wake up.

No one should doubt that globalism is the mechanism by which that Antichrist could arise.
