Not that I have read them all, but this is one of your best writings ever. Then there is theonomy, which I became somewhat fascinated by for a little while, and I have books by R.J. Rushdoony to prove it, but I realized the problems early on. At 74 years old, it has been so painful to watch the slide of the downward from when I was young, when prayer and the Bible were taken out of schools, and I don't need to go on--we all know the rot is so much deeper. Of course we can't take back the country or the west by imposing a theocracy. It's just so hard to watch the collapse. I still differ partially from you on Israel and the jews, not that I think the Israeli government is of God or that Christ will return to save aa man-made talmudic system. If and when God reaches the jews, they will cry out for His forgiveness and mercy, and they will recognize Him as their savior and the Son of God., not just a false messiah. I love Romans 11. The jews have been blinded (most of them) until the fulness of the gentiles has been brought in. Maranatha. Thank you for exposing the habbad. Long ago there was a segment on Sixty Minutes about it, as I recall.

"It is a familiar theme in the conversation and heart of the faithful, that in the last days before the judgment the Jews shall believe in the true Christ, that is, our Christ, by means of this great and admirable prophet Elias who shall expound the law to them… When, therefore, he is come, he shall give a spiritual explanation of the law which the Jews at present understand carnally, and shall thus “turn the heart of the father to the son,” that is, the heart of the fathers to the children… For in that day the Jews—those of them, at least, who shall receive the spirit of grace and mercy—when they see Him coming in His majesty, and recognize that it is He whom they, in the person of their parents, insulted when He came before in His humiliation, shall repent of insulting Him in His passion." (City of God) St. Augustine

Interesting quotation. It shows this was a common belief in early days of the church. Not scripture but it is historical verification about common belief. Thank you, Liz.

Yes, because it was the Church Fathers that canonized the Scriptures. They didn't just fall out of the sky. But to your point: we should remember that God loves the Jewish people and wants them to be saved. We must guard ourselves against the passion of anger and hatred. Thank you for the reminder.

Yes, and to your point, there were recognized standards by which the scriptures were canonized. It wasn[t some airy-fairy process about "feelings" Etc. Regarding so-called "church fathers," I do not look upon those men as infallible, but they had valid reasons for allowing the scriptures into the Bible.

These Christians sound a like like Christian nationalists. Are they the same? These are what general Flynn once said ",One Religion under God". To pervert American Creed : One Nation under God, with Liberty and Justice for All. It's dictatorship of theocracy. These people are determined to destroy God's Freedom and Justice for All.

This is excellent! For an example: check out "Shiny Happy People" a 4-part doc-series about the Duggar Family and the Bill Gothard Cult. I grew up in this milieu. Yes Virginia, it is a cult, and I was in it. By God's grace and the leading of the Holy Spirit, I repented and never looked back.

Wow Liz I never knew . You will have to tell me about it

Liz, I thank God for saving you out of that. And regarding the noahide laws, we all know they are not in the Bible, and I do see how the church and people in other faiths could swallow this wicked deception. I think that is why sinfulness has been encouraged to grow and the gospel has been suppressed, so that people will buy into the deception. We must continue to inform others and pray against this evil. The antichrist will use it persuasively, I believe.

Liz, I don't mean to be inappropriately curious, but I think I saw from your profile that you perhaps are a pharmacist? Maybe I misunderstood what I was reading, but my father was a pharmacist, so it caught my attention.. Of course you don't have to answer my question.

She is one of the best.

I believe you.

Liz Thompson's avatar

Awwww...Jana, you are too kind.

Sorry, Liz, I know that was a silly question, maybe vitamins or something.

Liz Thompson's avatar

Not a silly question at all. I was unable to comment yesterday, because I was skiing.

Yes, I am. I currently manage a start-up compounding pharmacy and we are doing R and D for CBD compounds. We currently compound a pharmaceutical grade CBD tincture in strengths unavailable over the counter.

The funny part is I became so concerned about my question that I tried to edit it out, but I couldn't. Ha ha.

They are following the teachings of another Apostle, not Jesus Christ-----his name was Judas Iscariot.

Judas wanted a Warrior King not unlike what we see today and betrayed Christ for that very same reason.

Let the Noahides and Dominionists push their doctrines in Dearborn, MI for a test run. I'm sure the Sharia crowd will yield. 😆 Pardon my sarcasm, but aren't we overlooking the Muslim factor in this equation? They are outbreeding everyone.

Thankyou for explaining what is behind the 7 mountains teaching and how it is not in alignment with the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

There is a reason that Archangel Michael struggled with the devil for Moses' body, its resting place ambiguous scripturally, implanting a question regarding its molecular elements being raised in the last day. Seeing the machinations of Zionism upon the 501c3 churches is truly painful. And narrow is the way we the true spiritual Israel tread.

Christians have not understood Archangel Michael. If you watch a movie about Joan of ARC, the new movie, it shows truths about Archangel Michael. I don't remember the name of that movie. Christians have misunderstood so much that's not truth, is false human concept for 2000+ years

If you find the name, or a link, please let me know. Joan has been a role model for me all my life.

This calls to my mind the words of Jesus in Mathew 23, seven woes to the scribes and Pharisees.
