The Christian Threat
The non-Associated non-Press ©2005
Introduction
They call themselves ?Evangelicals?, ?Fundamentals?, ?Missionaries?, ?Christians?, and other names that imply ?help?, ?salvation?, or ?mercy?. But do you know who they really are? What they really are? What their plans for YOU really are?
Mark 16: 15-16
He said to them, "Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned.
A beautiful message of saving everybody? from who? From themselves, that?s whom! Of course, if you do accept their salvation, you will not be condemned, by themselves. Repent!
Premiss
Christianity is an absolute. You either believe in it or not. If you don?t believe the words of the bible, you are not a Christian. If you believe some and not other of the words in that book, you are not a Christian (albeit you might have some Christian beliefs). Why I call this religion an absolute? Because EVERYTHING that is related to Jesus (the Christ, and hence Christianity) is found in ONLY? let me rephrase that, emanates from ONLY one (1) book. Yes there being prophecies of a Messiah before constitute ?some? talking about it, but he is still an unknown Saviour waiting to appear to those to whom he was promised for. If you believe in the existence of a god in heaven, or something along those lines, who created heaven and earth, and then let it run by itself, ect? you are a deist. You believe in a god, but not in ?the? God of Abraham (who is two other Gods out of the need to be more powerful), therefore you are not a Christian. The god of Abraham is very strict, and likes his followers to be a particular way. If you are not that way, then you are either not his follower, or not following his guidelines.
The Christian Threat
I have met them before. I have personally shaken hands with Bob Jones III, and I have friends that I grew up that went to his college, at the time in Tennesee. I have gone to their church services and ministries and they preach Mark 16:15 like it?s their duty (which really is under the premise stated above). Essentially, I know what I am talking about; I was one of them. Now, I know Mr. Jones is not ?every Christian?, but he symbolizes MANY of them. He is one of their leaders. He was chosen/accepted to guide them. God CHOSE him. Or has a marvelous plan for him. He is an Evangelical Fundamentalist Baptist. He is your typical, god-loving, red, American. Same with Falwell and Benny Hinn (who had a ?show? called ?Benny Hinn Miracle Service?). No need to keep naming them. But they are part of the Christian Threat I am referring to. There are prophecies that are still waiting to be fulfilled, and if they think God has chosen them to be the cataclysm for those Times, they will push for it no matter what. And their followers will agree.
A phone conversation I had with my father 1 month or so ago led me to think of this. In this conversation, we turned political, discussing Bush, Iraq, you know, the usual. I talked to him about how our leaders seem to think that fulfilling the Bible prophecies is their thing. They keep pushing towards helping the Israel State. They like to create the instability that will develop into the war of Armageddon. They want Jerusalem for the Jews because they want them to re-erect their old Temple. Things which the bible says will come to pass. And once the Temple is up, people, this is what the book of Revelations talks about: End of Times.
His answer to my worry? ?Hallelujah! Praise the Lord?. Coming this from my father I was surprised. He hasn?t been going to Church as much as he used to, though he stills remain faithful and fearful of the Lord. ?It is written, and nobody can stop this?? he continued. By now I?m angry, and a bit scared of thinking how many more people like this are in this country. Oh? my? God? [sic] 52% of this country seems to think along those lines (okay, maybe not 52%, BUT who was President Bush?s core base? Who is he trying to please? What is his mandate?). No matter my point of view, which as you can see dissents from that of my father and of other Christians, his answer was the same: ?It is written, His Will will be carried out. It says so in his Book?. The way the President talks, it seems he thinks is his duty to not let these people down. Seems like god tells him what to do, and how to do it, and is his duty to not let god down. That is why he sticks to his plan, and wants to succeed at it.
I used to think (back in Bush?s first term) that Bush was too much of a moron to be President. Eventually that changed to too much of a cowboy. Then he was too much of a liar. Then a egoistical megalomaniac. Now, only a Megalomaniac who control the most advanced army in the world and has all the authorities (probably bypassing congress if he presses hard enough) to use it.. This is not for oil? oil is the nice perk. This is about carrying out prophecies in the name of the Lord, no matter how deep in debt we are.
Danger!
Christianity, if practiced at home and at church, is a safe thing. But the moment we allow this religion (and in practice any religion) to dictate our ways of life and foreign policy, we cross into dangerous, uncharted waters that we are just beginning to test to see how far we can go. Are our leaders seeing this? This is a hard thing to stop in our ?free? country due to our rightfully granted right: freedom of religion. The problem is, this religion calls for action; to go outside and convert people. Otherwise, they will be condemned.
I find too many (I?m sure many of them coincidental) incidents and situations in which I can compare current times to those in that are spoken of by the Apostle John in the book of Revelations to just be coincidence. I do not believe is the end of times as ?coming? on its own, but as being pushed on by those who seek His glory in their fanatical ways (or you could say ?his glory? and not be god?s but the leaders?).
