The plan that GOD clearly laid out in
HIS word was simple. We, Christians, are supposed to be spread out
among the people of this planet as representatives of a kingdom that
is not of this world. We were to be salt and light in our
communities. We were supposed to take care of widows and orphans and
keep our personal righteousness intact in a wicked world.
Operating in this plan, the Christian
church grew from 12 disciples into a force for GOD that the Roman
empire couldn't resist. Then it went bad.
The Romans made the Christian church
part of the government (which was not part of the plan laid out for
us). As a result, the Christian church became gangsters and thugs and
resorted to bullying and intimidation to make people proclaim a
belief. This was not part of the plan and is not reflective of
JESUS. This manifestation of the church murdered millions in the name
of JESUS (also not part of the plan). It murdered millions of GOD's
people, both Jews and Christians.
People left there and came to America
to get away from this church. They risked life and limb on the open
ocean in tiny boats. But, they brought the evil of that church with
them. They burned witches and slaughtered the native Americans in the
name of JESUS and Manifest destiny.
Still, good Christianity rose up. Men
that I believe were lead of the Holy Spirit of GOD established a
nation and wrote a constitution that was intended to make sure the
church never violated the plans of GOD or the freedoms of those who
chose not to believe. Under this constitution and in a nation so
conceived, and dedicated to the proposition that GOD knows what is
best, the nation and the church flourished. We became the symbol of
all that is right and good in the world.
Then, the Christian church grew
complacent. After a good period of nearly 150 years, the nation
became spiritually sick to the point that the church woke up and took
notice. But, rather than honor the founding fathers of the nation,
rather than honor the plans that GOD set down for HIS people, the
Christian church returned to it's previous methods. It once again began to use the
heathen courts and the worldly governments in an effort to battle against flesh and blood, with a disregard for the spiritual forces and the
spiritual sickness.
Once again, Christians set out to be
gangsters and thugs and use there numbers and human effort to bully
those who failed to comply. Once again the Christian church rejected
GOD's plan and moved forward in pride and hubris. GOD resists the
proud and these actions have had nothing but resistance from GOD.
We, who know that we do not fight
against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces, must rise up
and fight against this stronghold that Satan has in our churches and
in our lives. We must stop battling homosexuals and transsexuals and
atheists. We must stop using the weapons of this world. We must
renounce this course of action completely and make a radical change
back to the radical faith and trust that the plan of GOD requires.
AND WE MUST DO IT NOW!
