Almighty!!
You are absolutely right. I suggest that it is our culture that has failed. The moral culture necessary to support our representative democracy has disintegrated and we will never retrieve it at the ballot box. I view myself as moral yet agnostic. Hence my displeasure with posts like this one... mindless, irrelevant, presumptuous, self-serving and arrogant. I could be wrong, however. That’s the agnostic in me. :{)

Now, about this post which you feel is infringing upon a political forum. Let’s just take one quote from the Bible listed above and see how it serves as a major foundation for justice is America’s Western foundation.
‘5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the First-born from the dead, the highest of earthly kings. He loves us and has washed away our sins with his blood,’
One of the most unique and lovely aspects of the American way of life used to be to let go of the past and move on. We did not encourage carrying tribal idenities and violent hatreds founded in the past in Europe. We forgave all that moved beyond European ethnic lines and history and became Americans. That healing was expected of us and each other. It is central to the Christian faith.
That attitude or philosphy came from the teachings of Jesus to understand that no one and no tribe is without offense or sin and forgiveness in the eyes of God and leaving it in the past and moving forward in peace and love, will set us free of offenses we have made and other have made agaisnt us and against God. This action of cleansing away sin and being released or healed to be new and better has a spiritual aspect of grace and mercy that extends through the life of Jesus to God and that might be harder for you to understand right now. And the process forgiveness is more complex than the overview I have shared with you here.
But if you can see how Christian forgiveness which came through Jesus once operated among the people and culture of America. Now look at what Marxists have established in the race hate and resentment industry to take it’s place and you might understand why religous philosphy is intertwined with political and social considerations.
Just like liberals are trolls on Free Republic because it is a conservative forum, posters who are against Religion or Religious discussion/debate are trolls on the Religion Forum.
If you do not wish to see Religion Forum posts, do NOT use the "everything" option on the Free Republic browse option list. Instead, browse by "News/Activism." When you log back in, the browse will reset to "everything" - so be sure to set it back to "News/Activism."
Amen!! My everyday prayer. :)
God bless us all,

Hands on experience is best in any case.
Goto religious sites and ask.
I don’t goto religious sites ask religious people that question, so I could not answer that for you. It would help to go yourself.

Most of us don’t experience this as a sudden flash of the obvious this way, but it’s cool
Yes. Everyone’s different. Every one will know before HE comes again.
But the ones that know and feel HIM must make a joyful noise; because the testimony of Jesus brings forth prophecy. As GOD’s spirit pushes forth ministry!! Amen!!
Numbers 11:25
And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
1 CORINTHIANS 2:10
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
REVELATIONS 19:10
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Love to all in the holy name of Jesus Christ who lives and reigns forever and ever!
GOD BLESS US ALL,

Amen.
