LifeHiscost Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Western "Christianity" has done what other dominant powers have done. It has used force, war, slavery, conquest, imperialism and evangelism to spread its culture and message. The prosperity that the West enjoys is just as much about "rape and pillage" as much as the blessings of God. IMHO. Please elaborate on the genocidal movements performed in the name of Christ. I do admit there is a difference in organizational religion and disciples of Christ, as also there is a difference in professed Christians as opposed to followers of Christ. However I know of no genocidal movements in the name of Christ that have accounted for untold millions of deaths. God blesses! Quote Lift Jesus up!!
LifeHiscost Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 The USA is the new Rome. It is the Capital of greed. The US is part of Lucifer's system. It is not of God, although it had Christian roots. One thing the early Christians didn't do was maintain their residence as loyal subjects of the government to which they owed their subsistence. God blesses! Quote Lift Jesus up!!
LifeHiscost Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 The powers that be are instituted of God in order to control those who cannot control themselves, that is, those who are outside of Christ. sky Very good thinking, skyblue888. "I have given them your word. And the world hates them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one. They do not belong to this world any more than I do."John 17:14-16 NLT God blesses! Quote Lift Jesus up!!
LifeHiscost Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I think the protection of private property has played a big role in the prosperity of the United States. Not to contradict the "big role" part. "Today I appoint you to stand up against nations and kingdoms.Some you must uproot and tear down,destroy and overthrow.Others you must build up and plant.”" Jeremiah 1:10 NLT God blesses!

LifeHiscost Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 You're kidding me? I have no respect for our leaders. They are corrupt, self-serving. Have you ever heard of Lobbyists? That's what controls Washington. It is legal bribery. We vote them in and then corruption takes over. We do not have a true democracy. It's a farce! Our leaders are self-serving. Hopefully there are a few Christians in Washington, but I'm not sure about that! I'm waiting for an indication of another country that allows freedom and prosperity to a greater extent than the U.S. Or where people are still making large migrations. God blesses!
