USA’s Problems Not Political, But Spiritual

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

By Geri Ungurean

Yesterday, I wrote an article in which I embedded Conservative news sites. Today I felt the need to stress to my readers that NO news site, however Conservative, will give the reader hope or joy or peace.  These can only be found in the Word of God and through our Savior Jesus Christ.

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33)

America is a sin sick country.  The GOP mantra from the last election was “Make America Great Again.”  Brethren, there is no greatness if there is not godliness. We can have the fiercest army, the most sophisticated weaponry; walls to protect our borders……but if the church in America is weak, and deception and false teaching abounds – America will not be godly.

If the church in America is not sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ; if they are not on their knees praying for the leaders of our nation – if they are placing their hope in “men” and not God, then our Nation will be weak and vulnerable.

Most of our founding fathers sought the Face of God and relied on Him to govern their newly established country.  I wrote a piece recently in which I placed quotes from many of our founders:

Words From Our Founding Fathers About God’s Hand On America

Dominionism is False Teaching

There are people who have twisted the Word of God to mean that all governments of nations must be established with Christian leadership before Jesus will return. Although that sounds great on its face, the truth is that there will be no establishment of such governments until our Savior comes to rule and reign on the earth.

 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12).

America’s real problem: Sickness of the soul

The endless political battles between the left and right in America (and Europe) are endless only because neither side is willing to deal with the real issue.

Let’s give both the political left and right the benefit of the doubt and say they are trying to improve everyone’s life in the way they think best. Unfortunately, they succeed only at the cost of that individual’s soul.

Our government exists for its own benefit above all else. That “benefit” is nothing more than the naked ambition of very modestly endowed men and women, whose “success” is little more than kissing the right anatomical part of the right person day after day, week after week, until they can advance enough in the butt-kissing business to have other followers return the servitude. Such people are revolting to the great mass of humanity they purport to “help.” The rest of us? Eh.

This is what Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell seeks to preserve in favoring Senate rules over cleaning up the legislative swamp. It’s what House Speaker Paul Ryan does, trying to keep the people above him in the funding hierarchy happy, and the people below him in the partisan position that best serves his interests.

Such people are not limited to Washington, D.C. The worst of the worst seem to be drawn there, however. Their victims are everywhere around us: The writer who doesn’t write, the painter who doesn’t paint, the composer or musician who makes no music, the mother without children, the teacher who doesn’t teach – so many dreams beaten to death by someone butt-kissing his or her way up in the material world.

Yet how many religions carry on the same games? The Vatican, if reports are to be believed, has become a cesspool of homosexual immorality dedicating itself to the glory of God. The pontiff now pontificates about global warming, rather than warning about the fires of hell awaiting every human soul who has not reconciled itself with God. The “science” of the latter is indeed well-settled.

Many other Christian denominations have decided they really don’t care what God likes or dislikes; their job is to please those who drop by every so often with a check for the collection plate. In the end, it’s money that saves us, right?

Islam is in a class of its own, removing judgment from the hands of its God and relieving him of the burden or butchering unbelievers. No wonder the Buddha has become so popular today, as he fades into eternal oneness with the nothingness of everything else.

The God that Jesus revealed on his road to the cross wasn’t very religious. Perhaps that’s because he had seen what the Ten Commandments did to the Jewish people once the legal scholars of the day got a hold of them.

Maybe what we are witnessing today is a massive, God-inspired effort? Jesus is trying to make humanity aware that he remains the only option to treat a materialistic culture for its soul-eating infection. To follow Jesus, you must set aside all that you have come to know about religion, however. Theology so easily transforms in the user’s hand from an aid to understanding God, to a tool used to manipulate God and others to do what we want. It doesn’t work. The results are everywhere evident.

It’s often said that the Christian church is all about loving one another. Those churches need to start at the beginning, however: Loving God. Love of humanity is not possible without first loving God. Guilt is not love, yet it is the Sunday substitute for so many of us.

What is the prescription for people and nations caught up in the death-knell of materialism? Open the New Testament. Don’t worry about the various interpretations. Read what Jesus did. Try it out and see if it works for you. Jesus didn’t leave a lot of rules: Love God, love others as much as you love yourself, and tell others how Jesus made it possible for you to do those two things. Were that to happen, it is likely that most of the people and nations in the world would be lining up to follow him!

There is no other answer. There is no Plan B. (It was never billionaires, as will soon be seen.) For good or for ill, we live in the age that is going to prove the lack of any other solution.

Godspeed in your travels.  source 

Although I do like this WND article, I feel that I should stress something from the Word of God.  I think that the writer of the piece has forgotten one very important truth.  We must repent – we must agree with God that we are wretched sinners, incapable of saving ourselves.  We must agree with Him that Jesus is the only way to be reconciled to the Father.

We MUST be born again:

“There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?

 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.  (John 3:1-17).

For anyone reading this article who is not sure whether they have truly been “born again”  please click on the link and  read it carefully.  The prayer must come from your heart. It is not reciting words which makes a person born again. God cannot be mocked. God knows your heart and your intentions.

How Can I Be Saved?

Shalom b’Yeshua

      2Thess 2:10..because they received not THE LOVE (Agape)of the truth, that they might be saved. 11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

      123’s of true Christianity v popular & damnable heresies

      #1 “ONE” not triune: ……PART 4 & 5 HOW MANY GODS ARE THERE FOR THE ONE GOD TO TALK TO?? Who was Jesus praying to??!?…. The real question should be … How does having multiple different persons keep this one God/being/entity from praying to himself?! (The trinitarian “schizophrenic” “god-head”) The Trinitarians want to have their cake and eat it too as the saying goes. On the one hand they need to say they only worship one indivisible God being/ entity but on the other hand they feel the need for some reason to keep Jesus or God from praying and talking to himself by dividing him up into different persons!?! It never occurs to them that that since there is only one indivisible God to pray too and Jesus is that indivisible God come in the flesh that he would need to talk to himself as to show us how to live, suffer, pray and die for our/ flesh) benefit not his!?!….. So while Trinitarians are quick to complain that God was not talking to himself at Christ baptism or in Gen “let us” they ignore the logical demands of their own theology! If Jesus is the ONE GOD in flesh and the Father is the SAME ONE GOD in heaven then Trinitarianism demands THE ONE GOD is talking to HIMSELF the same “being”! Claiming that God is multiple different persons as the reason for why God is not talking to himself (because God is three different “selfs”) only demonstrates that what they really worship is in fact not a ONE GOD who talks to himself but three different god “selfs”/ and they all talk to each other! When they speak about who God was talking and praying to, they are quick to say “the other person, NOT HIMSELF!” But if you ask them how many gods do they pray to then they will say “ONLY ONE”!?! They expect you to believe that those three different persons are THE ONE GOD-BEING” which is like calling three different cars “THE ONE VEHICLE” (they are text book examples of prov 26:12)
      Mark 12:28…Which is the first commandment of all? 29. …Hear, O Israel; THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD: 30. And ………..this is the first commandment….. 31. And the second is….. IF YOU CAN’T GET THIS “FIRST OF ALL COMMANDMENTS” RIGHT, ALL THE REST OF YOUR “FAITH” AND PREACHING ON LOVE & SIN IS MOOT

      PART 6: THE ANTI CHRIST….WHERE? WHERE?….EVERYWHERE!!! …..IT”S YOU O TRINITARIAN!
      “WHO” it was (what person) that came “IN THE FLESH”, IS THE DETERMINING FACTOR IN WHAT IT MEANS TO BE “ANT-CHRIST”! Even Islam claims Jesus was the Jewish messiah/Christ who was to come in the flesh) they all deny “WHO” it was (what person) that came (to be the Christ) in the flesh!?!…….To deny the father is to deny the son because they are one and the same person that came in the flesh!
      JOHN 14: 8-20 ….Note Isaiah 9:6. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: …: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, … the everlasting Father ….The son, father/Holy Spirit are all the same person, NOT like two different persons working together even as “one flesh” ….The “oneness” between Christ and the father is not comparable to a man & his wife, for only a fool would say “When you have seen me you have seen my wife, how sayest thou then, Shew us your wife?” Notice they asked to see THE FATHER and the response was Jn 14:9 ..“HAVE I BEEN SO LONG time with you, and yet hast THOU NOT KNOW ME, Philip…..Now image some fool trying to claim that statement if you asked to see his wife!?!!? You want to see the FATHER but have I been with you but you don’t know me!?!?!
      Jn 14 continued….…………..17. Even THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH; (Jn 14:6 I AM the way, THE TRUTH,) whom the world cannot receive, .. for HE DEWLLETH WITH YOU, (present tense/standing next to them in the flesh) and SHALL BE IN YOU… (future tense “In them”) 18. I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME TO YOU (future tense “In them”) Note: The spirit of Christ is the sprit of God and the holy spirit that is why Christ said “I will come to you” (to comfort them, because Christ is the comforter). The spirit was standing next to them in flesh… ….latter it would come to them to be inside of them (inside of their flesh as the spirit we are given)…..that is why. he would send the spirit…… However, Jesus himself here makes the point that the same person who was the HOLY SPIRIT that would come was standing next to them but lets them know “I will come to you again to be Inside of you”
      The whole point to Gal 3:20.a mediator is NOT A MEDIATOR OF ONE, (HEIS) but GOD IS ONE. (HEIS) again, point blank, identifies the number of persons of God! The “but” points out the contrast between multiple persons in a mediation party v the “one” of God. God is not like a mediation party with multiple different persons. …..”the express image of his person” ( the person of God; singular not plural).Any attempt to lay claim otherwise is willful ignorance and delusional nonsense
      TRINITARIANS CONFESS JESUS /THEY ARE NOT POLYTHEIST BUT ARE MONOTHEIST LIKE A LIAR & THIEF WHO “CONFESS” THEY DO NOT LIE OR STEAL The simple fact is that just because you confess or deny that you are in an adulterous relationship and denounce all forms of adultery has nothing to do with whether or not it is in fact adulterous! .. …A rose by any other name is still just a rose AND calling it a water lily does not change the definition of what a water Lilly or a rose is either!…No, Trinitarians confess & preach literally …”ANOTHER JESUS” 2 Cor 11:4
      - Like a thief in your house caught stealing your things insisting he was not there stealing “I CONFESS I am NOT stealing”. You just do not “properly understand” what he is doing/saying. Further, since you never had a “proper understanding” of what he is doing/saying you have no business accusing him since you do not even know what you are talking about in the first place. It is with and in your own ignorance that you base your “false accusations” & “ad homonym attacks” against him…… Ridiculous of course it is ……2Thess 2:11; Titus 1:16; 2Tim 3:5;
      …… should have given you a hint, harking back to Satan in The garden…God said you will die…Satan comes along and states no you will be more WISE……today .God said He is one; but Satan’s children come along and say no three is more WISE and humble in the face of God’s grandeur only “a mystery” that can be understood “in faith”. God uses head and right arm to explain the distinctions between father and son.. However, the Trinitarian heretics say to the effect: “NO, that is just a figure of speech, or that is not what God really means. What God is really saying is that God is three different persons”. Fools, hypocrites and blind guides, God said he was One and by your traditions and vain imaginations have taken the words of God and made them of no effect, refashioning God into your image!

      #2 SECOND COMING Thou Fool! “I come quickly” so “Hold fast
      till i come”… NOT …“in another 2000 yrs I might be coming soon any time now, so hold fast”!?! …those that deny the second coming of Christ in the war of AD70 are practicing a damnable heresy in denying the lord that bought them ( 2Peter 2:1-2 ;2Tim 4:8/ you cant love an appearing you deny& the context is the 2nd coming not the first)… Mat 7:23..”I NEVER KNEW YOU” …..Mat 10:33. But whosoever shall deny me before men……..sound familiar?…. If I said I am coming to your house in this generation when these things happen but no one knows the day or hour what fool would think I might be coming in 2000 years latter!?!? ..2 Tim 4: 4. And
      they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be TURNED UNTO FABLES.
      2Thess 2: 11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

      #3 There is a sharp contrast between THREE groups :
      (1) “PREDESTINED DAMNED” who were NEVER written in the book of life ………..Rev 17: 8 WHOSE NAMES WERE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, …as contrasted …EPH 1: 4. According as he hath CHOSEN US in him BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD
      (2) “MANY CALLED”= ONLY and ALL SAINTS (those who come to Christ) are written in the book of life … Philippians 4:3… ……Rev 21:27; (Only saints are Called and elect; Rom 1:6-7 et al) This is THE CHRUCH and ONLY these can have their names blotted out of the book of life ….….Heb 12:23 to the general assembly and CHURCH of the firstborn … WHICH ………are WRITTEN in heaven,
      (3) THE FEW CHOSEN: Those saints who were alive in group #2 who are now physically dead. They died “faithful” these are the FEW that were chosen faithful…….Rev 3:5. ……; and I
      will not BLOT OUT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE, (Ps 69:28) …. These are the FEW that are CHOSEN and now that they have died and are saved then “once saved THEY CAN NEVER BE LOST”

    • Truthseeker

      America has refused to obey the voice of God and thus God has the legal right to inflict upon our nation the contractual remedies found in Leviticus 26: 27 – 39.

      These remedies included in the contract were agreed to by the Children and God thus God has every right granted under the Covenant to proceed with the total and absolute destruction of America — and that destruction is now certain.

      The 21 year time allowed for Repentance is now over – destruction is now sure.
