…and this goes to the racism of whites against other whites by many that call themselves republicans (whether politicians, preachers, churchgoers, or as regards professionalism, and the general public at large), and it is much perceived; such as if other whites are not in their income bracket, or maintain their cloaked political and social agendas, which really support big business, Big Pharma, medical tyranny, government overreach, poverty for the masses, and so forth. Many of these churches are directed, in terms of their services and what’s talked about from the pulpit, within congregations, as well as the discouraging of political engagement, and largely, the attempts to hush or quiet those that would speak otherwise, by freemasons or those directed by them, along with governmental forces (such as the encroachment into free political and social speech, with the tax exempt statuses).

He is correct: Democrats are demonic. Republicans are just future Democrats.

I am a “Calvary Chapel” guy. Many people are being saved and are learning that what is seen in this world is withering away. The end of the age draws near. Faith is the substance of things hope for…what is the substance? Is it of Christ or is it of what is this world?

I was a “Calvary Chapel” guy. I loved the structure of the church. I believe that God wants us to be Christian soldiers and fight against evil. And be very assured, we are fighting evil. I never heard that message in church. But they did allow a Republican table in the foyer to sign up parishioners to vote.
We will not vote our way out of evil; no matter what level of evil we face. I would rather stand up and fight in every manner that I can instead of waiting to bend the knee. What would Jesus do? He would be overturning the money changers’ tables in the temple.

Gal 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Tom, tremendous truth from the epistles!

Micah 3:11
“The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests teach for hire, and the prophets divine for money, yet will they not lean upon the Lord and say, “is not the Lord among us, no evil shall come upon us.”
Nothing new under the sun. It’s a job to most in clergy, not a passion. It’s a paycheck and/or pension. You get to rub shoulders with politicians and celebrities if you’re in the right place like NYC.
Covid would have been stopped in its tracks if the denominational heads had refused to close. Instead, they promoted the jab so the doors could be opened again. “Take the jab, no evil will come upon us, the Lord is with us!”

I agree, Stan. Too many pastors are multi-generational pastoral families in it for job and social security. But, Jesus is not a respecter of denominations, churches, or personalities which are rapidly proving to be devoid of teachings and life. There are a growing number of hungry people searching for authentic church experience with God and community.

I applaud your optimism. I’ve met very few. Belonging to a biblical research ministry, I spent two decades running classes on how to study the scriptures. The interest was minimal.
The doctrine of the trinity had a stranglehold on most professing Christians. Knowing who Jesus Christ isn’t is as important as knowing who he is.

“The doctrine of the trinity had a stranglehold on most professing Christians”.

Indeed. Jesus Christ is Yahweh Become Salvation. Not a “second person”. In John 8, He said to a group of monotheistic Jews “If ye believe not that I AM, ye shall die in your sins”. He was telling them He was The God of Abraham and of Moses, not a lesser deity, and if they failed to acknowledge that Revelation, they would be lost. And they took His meaning precisely. “And they took up stones to cast at him…”. I want to know Him at least as well as those Jews did.

Mark 13:31-33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away. No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on your guard and stay alert! For you do not know when the appointed time will come.…

This passage seems to refute your interpretation.

In other passages, his reference to being one in God is his total devotion to his father, not his being God almighty.

DRenegade,
Bravo! However, some devout trinitarians will say Jesus gave up his knowledge when he came down as man. I’ve heard all of the arguments. It’s just too hard for most to believe they were wrongly taught in their denominations all of their lives. 47 times in the NT Jesus is called the son of God. He is never called god the son. He is our lord and savior, he was born, he had a beginning. God was his father.

Son of God, 47 times, God the son, 0. It is not honest biblical research to elevate the apparently contradictory few scriptures with the abundantly clear verses regarding that topic. The apparently contradictory scriptures must be worked to flow with the clear, rather than ignore the clear and make them fit with the few.
Son of God – 47 times, God the son – 0.

The ones that are hungry should seek Him on their own. In a quiet space alone with His Words. Actively, Truly, seeking Him and Yahuah willing, Eventually being led to True repentance.
A Spiritual Baptism.
i have heard of several people and even couples, that travel church to church to church always disappointed. Seeing the politics within the walls of many of these buildings is enough to make one run and even question the truth that may or not be within.

Pastors fought for our freedom.
Churches played a major part in the fight for freedom.
Today’s churches won’t do anything,won’t protest , wo’t preach sermons calling the criminal political class out etc. Today’s churches wa nt to keep their taxexempt status.
Shameful.

The chapter revealing the great falling away or apostia in the Greek is recorded for us in 2nd Thessalonians chapter two verses 1 through 12 . Particular mention should be given to verse 11 that foretold the pouring out upon unbelievers of a strong delusion so that they would believe a lie . Such as a man being able to turn himself in to a woman . It is this place in time I believe we are currently in . Load some mags up . We will need them very soon as the country is given over to the powers of darkness . How many preachers are warning the people about this great apostasy we are entering ? One out of ten thousand maybe . I can name only two that I am aware of .

The best I know is Chuck Baldwin in Montana. He is also the only clergy I know that believes in geoengineering, aka weather control, weather warfare.
