And a year later, your statement is that much more fitting given the lunacy we've all been seeing unfold. Rod's new book 'Live Not By Lies' is on my to-buy ASAP list. Looking for solutions beyond myself (and defiantly beyond the government) seems not only logical, but necessary to me! The world's starting to take shape and look alot like how the Bible described it'd be before the end. You were here a year ago and looking for answers, keep going! And take care 🙂.
Our God is bigger than all of what is happening in the world today, and the revival is already happening! "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption is drawing near". - Luke 21:28

When love is as a perfect diamond it is very strong and beautiful and when it shatters to a thousand fragments each piece reflects the same. Love is not within that one holds but the essence of what one gives out. These are glorious days that fall upon us where the invisible become the visible thus truly separates the wheat from the chaff. Romans 5:3-5 More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
We are about to see the greatest revival the world has ever seen. It has already begun. The church needs to be (and will be) cleaned out so it represents what it preaches - this is a good thing.
I can't see the revival happening at all. Governments, especially here in Australia, have left the values of what Christianity preaches. The issue is that Australia has not taken a political stance against political Islam and Muslim immigration to this country. We need to stop Muslim immigration. The reasons for needing to stop immigration because of what Islam especially political Islam is about *is not being discussed* Unless the Australian Government starts to have this debate our country, Australia, will be washed out thanks to acquiescence to Muslim demands.
Gabriel Johannson Well you are wrong. Because the Greatest Revival that the World has ever seen, will start here in Australia. God has proclaimed it thru’ His prophets, so I am believing for God to do great things for Aus and the Whole World. Praise the Lord!
@@gabrieljohannson6777 I agree with you on the immigration stuff, but as far as a Christian revival goes, I absolutely agree that that is going to happen.
Unfortunately the rise of the Pentecostal movement (happy clappy ear tickling rockstar concerts) have seriously diluted the Christian following. More people need to be aware of this!
No this is very very wrong! There are those who are being used by the opposition to muddy the waters and turn people away from God, like you. If people bothered to read the bible and ask God he will answer them. I suggest looking up Pentecost for starters.. Acts 2:1-4. Why did you write this post?
I have so very much respect for the authentic open mindedness of Andrew Bolt in listening and taking serious views beyond simply his own in this way. Proof positive that there are still some in journalism who are genuinely interested in presenting ideas, facts or events in a fair, evenhanded way - as they are, without the spin, respecting the freedom of their audience to make up their own minds.
Christianity is actually at its greatest growth in history since the 1960s..this guy just doesn't know the facts. Mainline Christian churches like Catholic and Anglican are shrinking. The Charismatic/Pentecostal churches are fastest growing movement in the world and history. It's just raw figures.the older medieval style is dying. Tradition is dry and dead.we aren't a society that flows tradition anymore.
The declining relevance of the Church isn't a recent phenomenon. It's decline began with the emergence of empirical/material based scientific method, which was a few hundred years ago. Empiricism relies on the senses and observation for truth. Christianity is (loosely) based on Platonic metaphysics. Hardly anyone takes Platonic metaphysics seriously anymore. Religion would have to solve this problem before it could become popular again. The other issue is morality. What's considered moral and immoral usually changes every generation, even if it's only a slight change. The Church needs to either change with it or at least accommodate parts of it to remain relevant.
@@skunkky206 That's the Roman Catholic Church/Vatican you're describing. The Vatican is the mystery babylon, the antichrist beast system the bible warns and prophecies about in the book of revelation. Real christian churches and congregations barely exist anymore.
@@davidsmith9189 Considering the harm that religion does, it is a fair assessment or are you claiming that religion especially Christianity does no harm.
I think in parts of Western Europe we are living in a post Christian age, but certainly not in Eastern Europe nor Russia. There, Christianity has never been stronger
Yup. In russia and easter europe christianity is been stronger. I think i read like putin build church 10 per day in russia. South america christian also quite stronger
What happened to Cardinal Pell is not persecution if he is guilty. It is righteous judgement which should apply to every one equally. Christians are persecuted when they get killed for preaching Repentance or/when exposing sin, or acting like Jesus who apparently was/is extremely offensive.
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury (socialism). From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage. -Alexander Fraser Tytler Where do you think the western worlds are. Between apathy and dependency imo.
@@huepix, I believe Hayden has misquoted Tytler by inserting "(socialism)" . It does not belong in Tytler's quote because his quote was about selfishness and greed, and where it leads. That is why wealthy families in Australia earning up to $351,248.00 p.a. are eligible for electoral bribes we call "Child Care Subsidy". A family grossing almost $7000.00 a week getting welfare is just a vote buying bribe - which Tytler described beautifully in 1787.
How would a Catholic fight when their holy father pushes for the new green deal, when they adopt non biblical views like evolution theory. When their history is darkened by millions of deaths by persecutions.
Evolution by natural selection is true whether you like it or not.. The earth is 5 billion years old whether you like it or not. Angels, gods, fairies,and unicorns are unlikely to exist whether you like it or not
In contempt of the jury service that person received a fair trial and was found guilty. You don't go in the same room with somebody's wife or with somebody's children. it is not rocket science.
The sad reality is that those anti Christians in this country who are in influential circles of our society are attacking our faith from all angles and very few 'Christians' are doing anything about it. We need to speak up and defend ourselves and be united....
Let us pray for all those who wish to destroy Judeo-Christianity, that they may find it in their hearts to try and do good to and for all, as the good man JC did while he was walking on this earth.
Jesus set the example, this life is temporary. Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28
Francis A Schaeffer majored on this subject for over 30 years and wrote 22 books on the subject. Many Christian's are deeply rooted in a Hegelian dialectic regime when it comes to understanding the Bible and don't know. The Church idea seems to have devoured the Bible itself and become corrupted.
Teach people to treat everyone as a product of our perfectly natural environment, that we are all striving for the same things and have access to the same resources, but do not teach people they are different because of an idea you hold that is divisive by its nature.
The world we live in is not made by outside sources For me I am the decision maker of my life and I have my God to help me, God talks about making the choice between good and evil if we choose evil we will die. We can see that western civilisation is dying they will not be able to sustain this We need leaders like president Trump that works toward returning to Christian and religious values. As Christ said I am the truth meaning the truth is the God like factor It is truth that will lead us to good and away from evil.
God knows everything from the beginning only he understand who how what makes each of us who we are and only he will judge us . To be saves we need to allow him to work with in us no matter what the world teachers us. Time will tell what is right and what is wrong. So start you journey today ask him into you life and let him lead you . My journey has been truely amazing I am a completely different person. We are running out of time , most people believers or not , can sense that something big is happening to our world
2 Timothy 3:1-5 .....'This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.'
All of this is prophecied in the bible , were living in the time of the church of Laodicea , the church that is asleep ,having a form of Godliness but denying the power there of . And of course just read Mathew 24 for Christs quick summation of the end of the age as he told it to his disciples ,and what to look for as a sign of his return . There must come a falling away before the end comes ,another prophecy , but there are many ,but God tells us that we will be punished by going into captivity at the hands of our enemies , and he says because our sins have increased , and that certainly is true ,and they're increasing daily . So this punishment will be brought on civilization because of it's wickedness . God protected the Western nations , but he is withdrawing that blessing and other blessings as we turn our back on the living God , and God is active in the affairs of mankind whether we think so or not . Sir Winston Churchill wasn't stupid ,as he addressed the United States Congress after the second World War ended by stating ,There is a purpose being worked out here below ,were his words , An intelligent man indeed .
Pick up your cross and become fishers of Men! in a world that hates you remember it hated me first! and he that is with out sin cast the first stone these are worthy teachings of a man that is the son of God and the King of Kings and every knee shall bend and every tongue confess his name in righteousness I long for that day.
Our western society is base in Christian believes.Churches need to unite and build up good reputation to many corrupt priest has destroy the people believe...also they should be open Churches and they should serve the people an NOT be so aloof..helping the very poor in practical actions.life given shelter,food and health..plus teach children the basic of Christianity does help!!
Normal conservative now day just need to stick to two point. A. To live as if the God exist, and society will be a place of comfort, and a collective defined by its ability to support and forgive. B. If there is conservative argument to be made to people of all background, it should be based on ethical reasoning, reached by common sense in most, instead of dogma and fairy tale that were written back in the copper age. For instance, why is divorce bad? You had enough in the past, stay with someone, before you pick another reject from someone again. It takes work to make a marriage works. Nothing is easy and there is nothing new under the sun. You have tried your way for years and it didn't work. Do it like everyone else, commit. The earlier, the stronger the bond for the rest of your life. On youtube, Dannis Prager at Prager University is one remarkable personality at promoting christian value through argument based on ethical reasonings. Conservative of all age groups and background that is interested in the preservation of cultural value, both traditional and spiritual, should check out his work, among others.
All religious beliefs are rather silly and mono theism is particularly scary in it's one all powerful easily 'pissed off ' God . Thankfully most young folk see through priests babble and less religion is progress for society.
Basing your life and views on a storybook written 2000 years ago is not healthy. It's good that people are dropping religion and using their own minds to come to their own conclusions.
Wow you're entitled to your opinion. Which gender are you? Are you a millennial? Are you PC? Really, you put your faith in the secular community, that's fine but you posted against the wave, why? You're a proud atheist but the majority of agnostic opinion (the interviewer) are respectfull. You're a wake up call to the evil we expect. Maybe open your mouth and change feet.
I heard people say to me that not being religious is a religion which is bizarre, a bit like saying not playing football is a sport or not collecting stamps is a hobby. Please, your mad. Deal with your psychosis, dont insult me.
Well, I am an Orthodox, I support the Church and it's traditions, but the part that is made of human beings can be wrong and I think it's wrong about gays :) - it was wrong before on other things, I mean, for instance, the Orthodox Church owned slaves, as an institution. Jesus said nothing about being gay, as far as I know. He did take part in a wedding, so we know he approved of it; and he did say he did not come to change the law, but to offer a better understanding and redemption. The law was that sex is a sin, for gay and hetero people alike. It is why we say "we are born in sin", even if our parents are married. However, Jesus has said that the way to salvation is accepting Him as Savior and love, for love contains all the other commandments. So for gay people and hetero people alike, they should abstain from sex without love, love is what makes any union holly :) The Church will see it, eventually - it doesn't mean we must attack it until it does, but to participate in it and support it, even if it doesn't always get it :) For instance, if you are gay, just because the Church says you are a sinner, doesn't mean you shouldn't go to Easter Mass - at least that's the way I see things :)
The bible doesn't say gays will go to hell. It says men who have sex with men (doesn't mention gay women) "won't be admitted into the Kingdom of Heaven". (that doesn't mean going to hell). This was written by the Apostle Paul, who also said he'd met a man that was caught up to the seventh heaven (Christians with Sunday school intellect think if you're not going to heaven, you must be going to hell, but don't stop to think that only one of these seven heavens might be the Kingdom of heaven). Christianity is based on Jesus Christ - Jesus (his words in the Bible) don't mention gays at all. The apostle Paul (who'd never actually met Jesus face to face - but in his arrogance argued with people that lived with Jesus and received his teachings directly) evidently neglected the teaching of Jesus about not judging people, or about removing the plank from one's own eye before trying to remove the speck from a brother's eye. What Paul said is in contradiction to what Jesus said.
You should read more instead of BLAH BLAH BLAH your garbage!! READ THIS!!!! Why do you spread misinformation and talk about things you know NOTHING about? ROMANS 1: 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
Firstly, I have not read all of the comments, so this might have been said somewhere down here. The Bible (Word of God, we Christians believe) shows two ways = one of sin and that is with "darkness" or with Satan and hell but, it also shows the other way; the one with Christ and forgiveness and real love or AGAPE. Now, it offers choice, in fact God offers choice. One either choose his way or that of Satan. Can not be both, it is clearly either or! All sin leads to "death" or hell (From the Word of God). Man, due to the original sin-choice (Adam & Eve), can not by him selves overcome sin. Thus, salvation (Jesus) or AGAPE....! For God so love the world, He gave His only son, so that who so ever believe in Him, will be saved. Not stop sinning, not be without sin, but forgiven. To be forgiven, one CHOOSE to believe in Jesus's salvation and grace (Love-AGAPE) and then by grace is forgiven! All sin falls under the grace of God! I emphasize - All sin! Now, how does this relate to the sin of sexual transgression of man with man or woman with woman? These are both sin, just as braking of the mirage vow or steeling or murder or speaking bad of ones neighbor or longing after another mans wife or bowing to a false god or any of the sins listed in the Bible. No exception. Thus, being gay is not different from any other sin! It will be forgiven by Gods grace (Jesus's blood, death and resurrection). It is thus the duty of all Christians to accommodate all sinners in the family of the church with love (AGAPE). Including those with the sin of a sexual nature! Since we know that we all have sinned and are in sin, there should be no distinction within the church between this, or that, sin! All sin are forgiven but one: The sin against the holy spirit, or simply put, the sin of not accepting God's grace (Jesus Christ). We as "the church" or the "children" of God (Jesus Christ) sin before God, by not accepting all sinners with love (AGAPE) and making them part of the loving family of God! We as Christians fail God in the way we are living through His amazing love (AGAPE)! We should all be like Jesus is! He reached out to the prostitute and tolled her: "Your sin is forgiven woman. Follow me and you will live forever"(Thus inherit ever lasting life). Failing to follow Jesus, and thus God. leads to death, for ever, that is called hell! Thus, trying to make gayness different from other sin is Satan's way of sewing discourse between people, and thereby making non believers say that God is bad, thus Christianity is bad and that makes him win! We Christians should learn to love with the love of God (AGAPE) so all people will see that and want to be part of that! We are the ones failing God in that sense. Take hands, love with Gods everlasting love (AGAPE) so that all sin can be forgiven through GRACE!!! I Pray....
Gods moral law is indeed His heavenly gift and blessing unto a nation, in that He graciosly grants a nation the wisdom, influence, guidance and when needed, the boundaries of His moral law. To have Gods moral law at work and alive within a nation, means that His law will, by Gods grace, be used by God to keep that nations concience more so sensetively aware of His holiness and His eternal, uncompromising standard of righteouseness, which is indeed the standard in which we all shall be judged. And thus Gods moral law, when it is indeed alive and authoritatively active within a nation, becomes MOST importantly the great spiritual tool and or tutour in which The Holy Spirit uses to lead the blind unto their Saviour, Lord and King, Jesus Christ. (Psalm 43:3) O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacle. (Psalm 119:105) Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Psalm 119:130) The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. (Proverbs 6:23) For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: (Proverbs 22:6) Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. A plea of God unto His backslidden people.... (Psalm 82:2-5) How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: And a warning of God unto His backslidden people.... (Isaiah 5:20-25) Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight. Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. And always remember God, Who cannot lie has said.... (Psalm 9:17) The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Thus our prayer should be ..... (Psalm 9:19-20) Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Habakkuk 3:2) O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
Like the "Moral law that the " Bible Belt" follow? "We hear an awful lot from conservatives in the Bible Belt and on the TV about how we all should be living. Certainly a culture that teaches the conservative religious values of the Christian right must have clean living written all over it. And lots of ripe fruit from their morally superior lives abounding." "It doesn't. Far from it. People that talk the loudest may be the ones walking the slowest. Joining its history of Biblically correct bigotry and discrimination, it is an area with the highest divorce, murder, STD/HIV/AIDS, teen pregnancy, single parent homes, infant mortality, and obesity rates in the nation. As a region, the Bible Belt has the poorest health care systems and the lowest rates of high school graduation." I suppose they're all "fake Christians" right?
@@hadeswhereisyourvictory OK so they're lying Christians then as well, anything else you want to add? This isn't looking good for your argument right now is it?
Jesus told us how to relate to those people who speak the truth, yet do not live it.. Matthew 23:3 Whatever they tell you ]to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do. Therefore we must not use the example of a hypocrite to justify our own personal rebellion... A liar does not make void the truth.
If someone betrays your trust, by telling you that they love you and they are ready to marry you and committ to being a faithful partner unto you for the rest of their lives, but instead, after you have placed your trust in them, they behind your back begin committing adultery on you and are not repentant for their behaviour, but instead they end up leaving you for another person...... should you stop seeking a loving and faithful partner? Do we then reject our hearts eternal desire, to give and recieve sincere and faithful love, because we have sadly encountered or heard of the hateful ways of an adulterer?
All Churches and all people need to repent and teach the TRUTH then you well see a great movement of our Father in Heaven. Until then all you well see is more war more sin and more death.
Yet here we are! If you believe in the big bang, what exactly exploded, where did the things that exploded come from, nothing? If you believe in evolution, why are all the lesser non evolved creatures still around? We evolved from monkeys yet there are still monkeys? Why don't we see half evolved creatures, it seems everything evolves instantly and perfectly. Personally I think you'd have to be an idiot to think all that you see is random and accidental. A lot of things mentioned in the bible have been proven right including the fact that Jesus lived.
I for one am glad of this. What I fear most is Christianity merged with political power. I don't believe the claims of Christianity and reject especially it's supernatural and miracle doctrines. My life has consisted mostly of resisting and fighting it's adherents attempts to impose Christianity on me. I am glad if I am perceived as winning.
No one can impose Christianity on anyone, REAL Christianity is about a relationship with God and his son Jesus Christ, no one can give you salvation, it involves repentance which only the individual can do. There are more fake Christians than REAL Christians. Ask God for your answers he will show you, confirm what ANY Christian is telling you by using the bible to verify what they are saying.
@@skunkky206 What god? What salvation? Salvation from what? There is absolutely no reason to believe these things or that a god exists or even could exist. You are only having a relationship with yourself in your own brain. In a true relationship with a god such as you say, you could get answers to specific questions... but you can't. Not a single one. Why? Because there's nothing there.
@@socksumi How do you know there is no God? It has been proven there was a Jesus. Where did we come from? If you believe all that you see is random you are fooling yourself and you should investigate not run along blindly believing in nothing
@@skunkky206 Not knowing how we got here doesn't mean you can invent a god and call that an answer. It's called argument from ignorance and it's a fallacy. We were not manufactured like a bird cage; we evolved slowly over billions of years of natural selection and random mutation. If you think the entire universe cannot exist naturally on it's own... then explain god's existence. How does something so special as god exist without cause or explanation? Or... is it more likely people invented "superman" as a panacea for everything they don't know? I think the answer is easy. You accuse me of "believing in nothing". Nope... I believe in everything... everything that is real and demonstrable. But claims for miracles and the supernatural are far from anything I'm able to discern as real. You are however entitled to believe as you wish.
@@socksumi If you bothered to even look at a bible you may be surprised by what you find. God answers people and the bible talks of many things science only discovered thousands of year later. Some people claim to be Christians but they can be shown to be fakes by the word of God, they fool themselves and anyone stupid enough to listen to them without confirming what they say with the rule-book. You believe in evolution? Why are the things we supposedly evolved from still around? Evolution must be perfect and instant, there are no creatures partly evolved just instant perfection LOL arms today, wings tomorrow? If there is no God what have I lost exactly? If there is a God on the other hand..

Yup. In russia and easter europe christianity is been stronger. I think i read like putin build church 10 per day in russia. South america christian also quite stronger
What happened to Cardinal Pell is not persecution if he is guilty. It is righteous judgement which should apply to every one equally. Christians are persecuted when they get killed for preaching Repentance or/when exposing sin, or acting like Jesus who apparently was/is extremely offensive.
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury (socialism). From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage. -Alexander Fraser Tytler
Where do you think the western worlds are. Between apathy and dependency imo.
You've mistaken socialism for greed.
Its about equity.
That's the opposite of greed
@@huepix, I believe Hayden has misquoted Tytler by inserting "(socialism)" . It does not belong in Tytler's quote because his quote was about selfishness and greed, and where it leads. That is why wealthy families in Australia earning up to $351,248.00 p.a. are eligible for electoral bribes we call "Child Care Subsidy". A family grossing almost $7000.00 a week getting welfare is just a vote buying bribe - which Tytler described beautifully in 1787.
How would a Catholic fight when their holy father pushes for the new green deal, when they adopt non biblical views like evolution theory. When their history is darkened by millions of deaths by persecutions.

The sad reality is that those anti Christians in this country who are in influential circles of our society are attacking our faith from all angles and very few 'Christians' are doing anything about it. We need to speak up and defend ourselves and be united....
HOW do we live in a POST christian world
Let us pray for all those who wish to destroy Judeo-Christianity, that they may find it in their hearts to try and do good to and for all, as the good man JC did while he was walking on this earth.
We keep turning the other cheek when we are attacked. Mistake!
Jesus set the example, this life is temporary. Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28
Francis A Schaeffer majored on this subject for over 30 years and wrote 22 books on the subject. Many Christian's are deeply rooted in a Hegelian dialectic regime when it comes to understanding the Bible and don't know. The Church idea seems to have devoured the Bible itself and become corrupted.
Teach people to treat everyone as a product of our perfectly natural environment, that we are all striving for the same things and have access to the same resources, but do not teach people they are different because of an idea you hold that is divisive by its nature.
The world we live in is not made by outside sources For me I am the decision maker of my life and I have my God to help me, God talks about making the choice between good and evil if we choose evil we will die. We can see that western civilisation is dying they will not be able to sustain this We need leaders like president Trump that works toward returning to Christian and religious values. As Christ said I am the truth meaning the truth is the God like factor It is truth that will lead us to good and away from evil.
God knows everything from the beginning only he understand who how what makes each of us who we are and only he will judge us . To be saves we need to allow him to work with in us no matter what the world teachers us. Time will tell what is right and what is wrong. So start you journey today ask him into you life and let him lead you . My journey has been truely amazing I am a completely different person. We are running out of time , most people believers or not , can sense that something big is happening to our world
2 Timothy 3:1-5 .....'This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.'
All of this is prophecied in the bible , were living in the time of the church of Laodicea , the church that is asleep ,having a form of Godliness but denying the power there of . And of course just read Mathew 24 for Christs quick summation of the end of the age as he told it to his disciples ,and what to look for as a sign of his return . There must come a falling away before the end comes ,another prophecy , but there are many ,but God tells us that we will be punished by going into captivity at the hands of our enemies , and he says because our sins have increased , and that certainly is true ,and they're increasing daily . So this punishment will be brought on civilization because of it's wickedness . God protected the Western nations , but he is withdrawing that blessing and other blessings as we turn our back on the living God , and God is active in the affairs of mankind whether we think so or not . Sir Winston Churchill wasn't stupid ,as he addressed the United States Congress after the second World War ended by stating ,There is a purpose being worked out here below ,were his words , An intelligent man indeed .
Pick up your cross and become fishers of Men! in a world that hates you remember it hated me first! and he that is with out sin cast the first stone these are worthy teachings of a man that is the son of God and the King of Kings and every knee shall bend and every tongue confess his name in righteousness I long for that day.
If Christianity is given the boot...I wonder what will replace it?
christianity gets replaced with watered down christianity...its kind of the same but your allowed to embrace sin...
Our western society is base in Christian believes.Churches need to unite and build up good reputation to many corrupt priest has destroy the people believe...also they should be open Churches and they should serve the people an NOT be so aloof..helping the very poor in practical actions.life given shelter,food and health..plus teach children the basic of Christianity does help!!
All gods eventually die. Jehovah and Jesus are no different than Zeus and Apollo, or Odin and Thor.

Normal conservative now day just need to stick to two point. A. To live as if the God exist, and society will be a place of comfort, and a collective defined by its ability to support and forgive. B. If there is conservative argument to be made to people of all background, it should be based on ethical reasoning, reached by common sense in most, instead of dogma and fairy tale that were written back in the copper age. For instance, why is divorce bad? You had enough in the past, stay with someone, before you pick another reject from someone again. It takes work to make a marriage works. Nothing is easy and there is nothing new under the sun. You have tried your way for years and it didn't work. Do it like everyone else, commit. The earlier, the stronger the bond for the rest of your life. On youtube, Dannis Prager at Prager University is one remarkable personality at promoting christian value through argument based on ethical reasonings. Conservative of all age groups and background that is interested in the preservation of cultural value, both traditional and spiritual, should check out his work, among others.
All religious beliefs are rather silly and mono theism is particularly scary in it's one all powerful easily 'pissed off ' God . Thankfully most young folk see through priests babble and less religion is progress for society.
Basing your life and views on a storybook written 2000 years ago is not healthy. It's good that people are dropping religion and using their own minds to come to their own conclusions.

Well, I am an Orthodox, I support the Church and it's traditions, but the part that is made of human beings can be wrong and I think it's wrong about gays :) - it was wrong before on other things, I mean, for instance, the Orthodox Church owned slaves, as an institution.
Jesus said nothing about being gay, as far as I know. He did take part in a wedding, so we know he approved of it; and he did say he did not come to change the law, but to offer a better understanding and redemption. The law was that sex is a sin, for gay and hetero people alike. It is why we say "we are born in sin", even if our parents are married. However, Jesus has said that the way to salvation is accepting Him as Savior and love, for love contains all the other commandments. So for gay people and hetero people alike, they should abstain from sex without love, love is what makes any union holly :) The Church will see it, eventually - it doesn't mean we must attack it until it does, but to participate in it and support it, even if it doesn't always get it :) For instance, if you are gay, just because the Church says you are a sinner, doesn't mean you shouldn't go to Easter Mass - at least that's the way I see things :)
The bible doesn't say gays will go to hell. It says men who have sex with men (doesn't mention gay women) "won't be admitted into the Kingdom of Heaven". (that doesn't mean going to hell). This was written by the Apostle Paul, who also said he'd met a man that was caught up to the seventh heaven (Christians with Sunday school intellect think if you're not going to heaven, you must be going to hell, but don't stop to think that only one of these seven heavens might be the Kingdom of heaven). Christianity is based on Jesus Christ - Jesus (his words in the Bible) don't mention gays at all. The apostle Paul (who'd never actually met Jesus face to face - but in his arrogance argued with people that lived with Jesus and received his teachings directly) evidently neglected the teaching of Jesus about not judging people, or about removing the plank from one's own eye before trying to remove the speck from a brother's eye. What Paul said is in contradiction to what Jesus said.
You should read more instead of BLAH BLAH BLAH your garbage!! READ THIS!!!! Why do you spread misinformation and talk about things you know NOTHING about?
ROMANS 1: 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
Firstly, I have not read all of the comments, so this might have been said somewhere down here.
The Bible (Word of God, we Christians believe) shows two ways = one of sin and that is with "darkness" or with Satan and hell but, it also shows the other way; the one with Christ and forgiveness and real love or AGAPE.
Now, it offers choice, in fact God offers choice. One either choose his way or that of Satan. Can not be both, it is clearly either or! All sin leads to "death" or hell (From the Word of God). Man, due to the original sin-choice (Adam & Eve), can not by him selves overcome sin. Thus, salvation (Jesus) or AGAPE....! For God so love the world, He gave His only son, so that who so ever believe in Him, will be saved. Not stop sinning, not be without sin, but forgiven. To be forgiven, one CHOOSE to believe in Jesus's salvation and grace (Love-AGAPE) and then by grace is forgiven! All sin falls under the grace of God!
I emphasize - All sin!
Now, how does this relate to the sin of sexual transgression of man with man or woman with woman? These are both sin, just as braking of the mirage vow or steeling or murder or speaking bad of ones neighbor or longing after another mans wife or bowing to a false god or any of the sins listed in the Bible. No exception. Thus, being gay is not different from any other sin! It will be forgiven by Gods grace (Jesus's blood, death and resurrection). It is thus the duty of all Christians to accommodate all sinners in the family of the church with love (AGAPE). Including those with the sin of a sexual nature! Since we know that we all have sinned and are in sin, there should be no distinction within the church between this, or that, sin! All sin are forgiven but one: The sin against the holy spirit, or simply put, the sin of not accepting God's grace (Jesus Christ).
We as "the church" or the "children" of God (Jesus Christ) sin before God, by not accepting all sinners with love (AGAPE) and making them part of the loving family of God! We as Christians fail God in the way we are living through His amazing love (AGAPE)! We should all be like Jesus is! He reached out to the prostitute and tolled her: "Your sin is forgiven woman. Follow me and you will live forever"(Thus inherit ever lasting life). Failing to follow Jesus, and thus God. leads to death, for ever, that is called hell!
Thus, trying to make gayness different from other sin is Satan's way of sewing discourse between people, and thereby making non believers say that God is bad, thus Christianity is bad and that makes him win! We Christians should learn to love with the love of God (AGAPE) so all people will see that and want to be part of that! We are the ones failing God in that sense. Take hands, love with Gods everlasting love (AGAPE) so that all sin can be forgiven through GRACE!!! I Pray....
Paul de Beer Superstitious drivel.
Gods moral law is indeed His heavenly gift and blessing unto a nation, in that He graciosly grants a nation the wisdom, influence, guidance and when needed, the boundaries of His moral law.
To have Gods moral law at work and alive within a nation, means that His law will, by Gods grace, be used by God to keep that nations concience more so sensetively aware of His holiness and His eternal, uncompromising standard of righteouseness, which is indeed the standard in which we all shall be judged.
And thus Gods moral law, when it is indeed alive and authoritatively active within a nation, becomes MOST importantly the great spiritual tool and or tutour in which The Holy Spirit uses to lead the blind unto their Saviour, Lord and King, Jesus Christ.
(Psalm 43:3)
O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacle.
(Psalm 119:105)
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
(Psalm 119:130)
The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
(Proverbs 6:23)
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

A plea of God unto His backslidden people....
(Psalm 82:2-5)
How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness:
And a warning of God unto His backslidden people....
(Isaiah 5:20-25)
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight. Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
And always remember God, Who cannot lie has said....
(Psalm 9:17)
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
Thus our prayer should be .....
(Psalm 9:19-20)
Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men.
(Habakkuk 3:2)
O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
Yes owning human beings as property is so moral.
Like the "Moral law that the " Bible Belt" follow?
"We hear an awful lot from conservatives in the Bible Belt and on the TV about how we all should be living. Certainly a culture that teaches the conservative religious values of the Christian right must have clean living written all over it. And lots of ripe fruit from their morally superior lives abounding."
"It doesn't. Far from it. People that talk the loudest may be the ones walking the slowest. Joining its history of Biblically correct bigotry and discrimination, it is an area with the highest divorce, murder, STD/HIV/AIDS, teen pregnancy, single parent homes, infant mortality, and obesity rates in the nation. As a region, the Bible Belt has the poorest health care systems and the lowest rates of high school graduation."
I suppose they're all "fake Christians" right?
@@hadeswhereisyourvictory
OK so they're lying Christians then as well, anything else you want to add?
This isn't looking good for your argument right now is it?
Jesus told us how to relate to those people who speak the truth, yet do not live it..
Matthew 23:3
Whatever they tell you ]to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.
Therefore we must not use the example of a hypocrite to justify our own personal rebellion... A liar does not make void the truth.
If someone betrays your trust, by telling you that they love you and they are ready to marry you and committ to being a faithful partner unto you for the rest of their lives, but instead, after you have placed your trust in them, they behind your back begin committing adultery on you and are not repentant for their behaviour, but instead they end up leaving you for another person...... should you stop seeking a loving and faithful partner?
Do we then reject our hearts eternal desire, to give and recieve sincere and faithful love, because we have sadly encountered or heard of the hateful ways of an adulterer?

that Jesus lived.
Chris Wright Who said “something from nothing?”
I suppose you only have straw men and arguments from ignorance.
I for one am glad of this. What I fear most is Christianity merged with political power. I don't believe the claims of Christianity and reject especially it's supernatural and miracle doctrines. My life has consisted mostly of resisting and fighting it's adherents attempts to impose Christianity on me. I am glad if I am perceived as winning.
No one can impose Christianity on anyone, REAL Christianity is about a relationship with God and his son Jesus Christ, no one can give you salvation, it involves repentance which only the individual can do. There are more fake Christians than REAL Christians. Ask God for your answers he will show you, confirm what ANY Christian is telling you by using the bible to verify what they are saying.
@@skunkky206 What god? What salvation? Salvation from what? There is absolutely no reason to believe these things or that a god exists or even could exist.

If you think the entire universe cannot exist naturally on it's own... then explain god's existence. How does something so special as god exist without cause or explanation? Or... is it more likely people invented "superman" as a panacea for everything they don't know? I think the answer is easy.
You accuse me of "believing in nothing". Nope... I believe in everything... everything that is real and demonstrable. But claims for miracles and the supernatural are far from anything I'm able to discern as real. You are however entitled to believe as you wish.
