Looks like we’re about to find out what real persecution is like in America.

Based on this thread, I’m wondering how much more wheat and tares needs to be sifted.

Nobody promised us a rosy life in this hell called Earth. Jesus sure didn’t.

That reference of submission is only to a government which abides according to the Scriptures. Of course the deceived would use that as an occasion to lead the masses into submission to a government opossed to God.

“And Paul screwed up with that statement. His lunacy on that idea has been used for 2000 years to justify earthly Monarchs, and resisting those tyrants was blasphemy. And were Germans obligated to obey Hitler? Russians to dutifully obey Stalin? Would shooting either of them be a sin?

Paul was wrong. He wasn’t Jesus. I am a Christian, not a Paulian.


Our interpretation can be wrong at times but God assures us His Word will never return void. And all Scripture is truly Inspired by God.

Isaiah 55:11
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

The fundamental flaw seems to be the use of the term 'church', as if the current gaggle of churches is the same as the one true church / body of believers known as the Body of Christ. The social church is composed of a mixed bag in every case, for satan goes to 'curch' because he finds some of his own there.

The author is using 'church' duplicitously.

“Daniel 2:20-21 (NASB)

20 Daniel said, “Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever, For wisdom and power belong to Him.

21 “It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men And knowledge to men of understanding.


Exactly. Great Scriptural response.

God doesn’t put our leaders into the seat of power anymore

In order that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, (He) gives it to whomever He will, and sets over it the lowest of men. Dan 4:17

“A Biden-Harris presidency will not come close to killing us.”

Unless you’re a child in the womb.

Church of Satan, perhaps.
