Gogites ought to be examining themselves to be sure. Especially when they work for what is once again an organ of state propaganda.
What about the ones over here who DO work for a long term organ of state propaganda? ABC CBS NBC CNN NYT WaPo NPR LAT and the hundreds of thousands of other organizations that dot the landscape like ‘raisins’ in a rodent cage? At least Pravda and Tass and even Putin are pushing Christianity. Rather hard in many cases. How about A&E over here?
Pushing Christianity is something that the Founding Fathers wanted to guard against. Such a thing is not free exercise of religion. That is, if that’s what Pravda is even doing, and their calls for gun control seem to speak towards another agenda besides.
The Founding Fathers knew what they were doing. It’s they who we ought to look to for at least one form of the right example, not the statists overseas.
I wonder if tovarish Mishin (he writes for Pravda, after all), has the stones to confront Putin about all the evils the little dictator is bringing on Russia and the former Soviet republics and satellite countries? I clearly remember Jesus saying something about the speck in your brother’s eye and the log in yours.
Imagine, a lesson in religion from Pravada. The world turned upside down. (What is written in this article is very, very true).
Putin and all the “reformed” bolsheviks and KGB agents are doing anything but pushing Christianity. Grandstanding in the front row of the orthodox cathedral and crossing yourself does not make one a Christian.
Religion in the Original 13 Colonies
By the year 1702 all 13 American colonies had some form of state-supported religion. This support varied from tax benefits to religious requirements for voting or serving in the legislature. Below are excerpts from colonial era founding documents citing these religious references. Most instances of state-supported religion were removed before 1850, and the remaining requirements became null and void after the passing of the 14th Amendment on July 28, 1868. New Hampshire and North Carolina removed the nullified religious references from their state constitutions in 1875 and 1877 respectively.
The overwhelming theme regarding state religion in the United States by the Founding Fathers seems to be more the concern about an overall national religion rather than the continuation of individual state religions.
Putin is restoring old pre-Soviet Russian glories. Patriarch Kirill is on very good terms with Putin.
It is a lot closer to Christianity than holding hands and smoking joints (and other things) with the Choom Gang.
I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
I am sure he is. They are both KGB products. And Putin is just continuing the imperial Russian ambitions. It has been going on since Peter the so called Great. And it didn’t abate during the Soviet times. It has never stopped. The current overly aggressive stance of Putin is fueled by the high oil prices and having a homo Muslim America hater in the White Hut.
To address your next post - bumping off people that oppose you politically is no more Christian than holding hands and smoking dope. Both have nothing to do with Christianity.
There’s no parallel in Putin’s Russia, or let’s say Putin’s Eurasian Union.
Putin is the guy who said that the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the twentieth century was the fall of the USSR. He’s running his whole foreign policy on that point of view.
Yet that country has had its churches rebuilt.
A building does not make the church. Yet the same country keeps another building in the center of Moscow, with an idol in it, the mummy of the “leader of the world revolution”.
True about church buildings, but I am not surprised about the church building efforts either in Russia. It was its way of reparations to the descruction that came to them under communism.
Revelation 21:8 explains it very well, the rest is hard to put together but some how seems to coincide with what is happening here in this country.
Ezekiel seems to be comparing Jerusalem to an unfaithful wife who is giving gifts in return for lovers, but at the same time proclaiming she is not a whore because she is not for hire.
The sodomites had plenty and lived in ease and this turned them into a bunch of perverts but even they were not thought of as being as abominable as Jerusalem because they were not Gods chosen people.
They were burned up in a blaze of fire, the Jews did not come out so lucky, and neither will America.
The U.S is going the same way, it was made a great country, the land of the free, but a life of free hand outs and too much time on every ones hands is turning America into a land of perverts.
31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;
32 But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!
33 They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.
34 And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
The U.S is paying her lovers on every side of the globe while it steals from the people and the people in their love of ease and continual ease is letting it happen and have forsaken God.
And the Churches here in America are worse than the heathen here because they know God just like Jerusalem knew God.
Great article and 100% on the money. See what happens when you elect a Christian-hating marxist to the highest office in the land. It will only get worse before it gets better, IF it ever gets better. The damage done by the marxist in chief will be around 100 years after he’s gone. Obama the Great Destroyer of the United States of America, and no one holds him accountable. And two years from now another election and it will be four more years of hell with the bull dyke Hillary Clinton at the helm. Pray for this country. Pray a lot.
