I took a year to subscribe to Canon plus just because I didn't want one more subscription. But as we cancelled the secular ones, I decided to support the Christian channels like AGTV, apologia and now Canon plus. I regret not subscribing earlier. They have something for everybody. We're listening to classic audiobooks with our children. Listening to Doug's books for children. We're learning about history, logic, biblical foundations. This is my first month and I'm so happy I subscribed. So wait no longer, give it a try. The last documentary "Eve in Exile" alone is worth the subscription. ♥️ Rachel's book is another gem.

In the 1930’s, the idea of killing of black children was a proposed idea from Margret Sanger. So much was this a popular idea that dear Ms. Sanger was provided a tour of Nazi Germany as they too were interested in implementing a racial purification of the nation of Germany. In the early 20th century the African American population was under 20%. Now into the 21st century, the African American population is still under 20%.

I don't think I would go so far as to say America used to be a Christian nation.. we used to practice the most brutal form of slavery known to man. We've always used usury, interest, and inflation with currency that we have the audacity to print "In God we trust" on. We created a federal reserve bank to ensure that the moneylenders have even more crooked power. We have elevated property above liberty, and liberty above justice. We weren't a Christian nation. We were a culturally Christian nation! And that's a far cry better than being a Pagan nation, but it's barely the shadow of a Christian nation. I wonder what it will be like, if the per-millinealists are right, and sometime in the future there will be a 1000-year reign of Christ? I wish I had been born in that time.

[@isaiahxp9185]

We wish America repent her apostasy. If it be the Lord's will, she will return to Him. If He has already judged her, then it may well be too late. I, for one, have made terms with the end of America. She is not my God. Though I pray she will repent before her final judgment.

If all knowledge is found in God-if the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge-then maybe that explains why so many who reject the God of the Bible seem to know literally nothing-not even the axiomatic? They seem to deny even their own experience and empirical observation/science-even while screaming about their so-called "rights", which, if their worldview is correct, are conferred upon them by the State and are thus NOT "inalienable." They are biting the Hand that feeds 'em!

No one is the Image of God unless they were born of water and of spirit or as Jesus in John chapter 3, Born Again.

[@ManyLegions88]

I am the son of perdition, son of Lucifer, therefore, I did not have to be born again. I was born right before the war in heaven. While God was busy proving how great job was. My father was doing all of that to distract God, in order for the other fallen angels to put me together, disguised as normal man. He decided though to release me into the world in the year 1988, which so happens to be a great year for blasphemy, and also the Satanic Panic. This was also the perfect time, because he chose a time when God was working his hardest to save souls all around America. I was born in October at 3 AM. My mother was only 15 and my dad was only 16. My mother actually had to get stitches after having me. I was so large. Larger than God right at birth.

[@DiZazzosforJesus]

God has told us to share this video with everyone. Last Days Message - Jesus Said My Kingdom Is Not Of This World - Why Then Do You Contend For The World? There seems to be a call from leaders that Christians should be involved in politics and leaders should be directing their congregants on how to get involved and who to vote for. What chapter and verse of scripture is being used to validate that call? A Christian's goal is to spread the gospel and that should not be taken lightly. There are many scriptures that point to staying out of the world and fighting for the world. In Matthew 6:51-54, "51 And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear. 52 Then Jesus *said to him, “Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword will perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?” Mark 12:14-17, "14 They came and said to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and do not care what anyone thinks; for You are not partial to anyone, but You teach the way of God in truth. Is it permissible to pay a poll-tax to Caesar, or not? 15 Are we to pay, or not pay?” But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to look at.” 16 And they brought one. And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” And they said to Him, “Caesar’s.” 17 And Jesus said to them, “Pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they were utterly amazed at Him." John 18:35-36, "35 Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed You over to me; what have You done?” 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.” 2 Timothy 2:1-4, "1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful people who will be able to teach others also. 3 Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him." 1 John 2:15-17, "15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 The world is passing away and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God continues to live forever." We implore you to not get off track and get out and intentionally share the gospel, people's eternity is at stake!

precise words, doug

[@annakimborahpa]

1) Pastor Wilson at 6:56 -7:01: "I've got bad news for the people trying to shoot Jesus. He's out of range." 2) Saul of Tarsus in Acts 22:7-8 (ESV): And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’ And I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ And he said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.'

[@Zaloomination]

Persecuting isnt the same as effectually "hurting"

[@annakimborahpa]

@@Zaloomination Is Paul's consenting to Stephen's execution 'effectually' "hurting"? Is his going house to house in Jerusalem and dragging men and women out for imprisonment 'effectually' "hurting"? Is his following up on his request to the high priest in order to capture Damascus Christians and bring them bound to Jerusalem 'effectually' "hurting"? Is his persecuting "this Way to death" 'effectually' "hurting"? For reference: 1) Acts 7:51-60, 8:1 (ESV): And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep. And Saul approved of his execution. 2) Acts 8:3 (ESV): Saul, meanwhile, was trying to destroy the church; entering house after house and dragging out men and women, he handed them over for imprisonment. 3) Acts 9:1-2 (ESV): But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 4) Acts 22:4-5 (ESV): “I (Paul) am a Jew, born in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city. At the feet of Gamaliel I was educated strictly in our ancestral law and was zealous for God, just as all of you are today. I persecuted this Way to death, binding both men and women and delivering them to prison. Even the high priest and the whole council of elders can testify on my behalf. For from them I even received letters to the brothers and set out for Damascus to bring back to Jerusalem in chains for punishment those there as well. 5) 1Timothy 1:12-14 (ESV): I (Paul) thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service, though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 6) Is this recent example of persecution the same as 'effectually' "hurting"? From foxnews.com, June 5, 2022: More than 50 people killed in 'vile and satanic' attack on Nigerian Catholic Church, Attackers fired their weapons and then detonated explosives in the church www.foxnews.com/world/dozens-slain-satanic-attack-nigerian-church

[@Zaloomination]

@@annakimborahpa I'm not sure the point you're trying to make. Are you arguing that it is possible for the risen Lord to be hurt by gunfire the same way Paul was able to hurt those Christians around him? Can you fill me in?

[@annakimborahpa]

@@Zaloomination 1) It would seem from the Bible that Jesus Christ identifies with the members of His Body and therefore, in some mystical way, He experiences the sufferings of His followers on earth. 2) How else can one explain Paul in Colossians 1:24 (ESV)? "Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church..." 3) This is not to say that our salvation by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is incomplete, but that, as members of His Body, Christians can participate with Him in their sufferings for the benefit of others. Paul says that he rejoices in his sufferings in Christ for the sake of the Colossians. 4) Wouldn't offering sufferings united to Christ for the sake of His Body, the Church, be an extension of asking others for prayers to God for a specific intention, as Paul does throughout his letters, i.e., Romans 15:30-32, 2 Corinthians 1:10-11, Ephesians 6:18-20, Philippians 1:19, Colossians 4:2-4, 1 Thessalonians 5:25, 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2, Philemon 1:22, as well as whoever wrote Hebrews 13:18-19?
