Gods List is non-negotiable – we have no vote
Mocking the faith of others and suppressing the church – Atheism, agnosticism, wokeism, CRT and all their varied liberal ideological cousins, are kin with the Pharisees of old. This is what Christ said to them. Jesus minced no words as the term "child of hell" indicates.
"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves." (Mt 23:15)
A borderless community across which flow, abused children, deadly drugs, terrorists, and people breaking the law to get in. – Romans 13 is frequently used to call believers into towing the line to civil and political authorities. But, if civil leaders are themselves evil or crooked, then the same passage gives warning to them. It is not too far a stretch, to extrapolate this, from the theology in Romans thirteen. What's good for the goose…
"For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil." (Ro 13:3-4)
We talk more about the decline of America than ever before because it seems like, it is not the country we once knew. Can we return to what we once were. The answer is always yes, but the decision is not open to us forever. There is always a day of reckoning or as some say, a day of no return. Let's not try God who also gave us this warning.
"At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them." (Jer 18:7-8)
