The Roots of Evangelicals’ Political Fervor | Retro Report

I just belivie if churchs are going to preach politics from the pull pit the should NOT be tax exempt. Separation of Church and State. Period.

[@brentwinter6416]

You do understand had preachers not preached politics from behind the pulpit there would be no America? Have you ever heard of the black robe regiment? The greatness of our country was built upon "in God we trust." It has often been said "the church sets the standard for the direction of the Nation." If people would vote according to what the Bible says instead of their pocket our country would be so much better off. God, Church, and the Bible are the reasons we live in the freeest and greateast society ever produced. To not understand this is to not understand history.

@@brentwinter6416 Do you not understand "The Salem Witch Trials?" And when religion became the law of the land in the "Old World," after the Fall of the Roman Empire? Burn you at stake, hang you, guillotine, dunking boards, scarlet letters, etc. for even saying anything considered heretical. There's a reason for the Wall of Separation, as Thomas Jefferson (the man who wrote the second amnendment) defined and interpreted it to the Dansbury Baptists. Some of the Founders were alive when the Salem Witch Trials occurred...before there was a broader Law of the Land. There are God's Laws and there are Man's Laws, and there are plenty of Churches that represent the importance of our Spirituality and God, and as for the Law's of the Land...Jesus does not set the speed limits on our highways here on earth...we do. Religion and Politics should always remain Separate...too dangerous otherwise. Freedom of Religion always, but must never be enforced by man's law...unless you'd like living in a horrific "Theocracy" like Saudi Arabia and others (leaving all of us open to the wiles of corrupt, or illinformed leaders interpretations) Our God gave us the power of choice. Already some of these so called religious leaders are taking advantage by declaring some organizations as non profits and as Churches to gain tax exempt status, when they are nothing of the sort.

If I sin against my parents am I not disciplined? How about if I commit a crime; would I not go to prison? Why would you consider it naive to think that to break the law of our eternal creator namely to fail to act in love toward Him and all he has created would not result in an eternal punishment befitting the crime? I have found myself hopeless and desperately depraved before a holy, righteous, and just God. The only hope of life now and for eternity is found in his provision of the Savior, namely, Jesus Christ. Apart from the Sinless Life, Sacrifice, and Resurrection of the messiah there is no hope for this world. Who else has ever 1)Claimed to BE GOD 2) Lived Sinlessly 2) Performed Countless Miracles 3) Predicted the future flawlessly and his own death and resurrection 4) Lives today 5) Promises you forgiveness and eternal life if you simply believe. Lisa, everyone will figure out who was right and who wasn't in the end, that's not what this is about. You already know the truth, this is about accepting and trusting the truth you know and are rebelling against.

We are a country that is supposed to have a separation between church and state. If a church or religion uses politics or expresses a political choice that its followers must follow, it should lose its status as a non-profit and be made to pay taxes as any business would. Also, the leader of a religion or church represents the institution 24 hrs. a day and in doing so may not use his or her personal political view to sway political opinions of followers. The words "I believe" or "I am a Christian" do not make one ethical, moral or honorable. It should be the responsibility of the church or religion to be able to prove its non-partisan stance.

The problem is we have four different versions of "Jesus" in the gospels and then Paul's and other early followers' interpretations stacked on top of an already confused message.

[@MuchAdoAboutDiddley]

Wow, this really was a Eureka moment for me. It pulled together all the strings that had been there in my consciousness since 2015 and gave a history of the movement towards 'co-rulership with Christ' and world transformation instead of preaching the gospel to a fallen world. When the Church - as he says - "came out of the closet" it didn't realise the coming events of the endtimes could not and would not be turned aside for their arrogant belief in their own power to save mankind from increasing sin. Instead, it's become a mockery and brought the name of Jesus Christ into disrepute for pinning their hopes on another "chosen one" instead of the Lord.

"19: He showeth His word into Jacob, His statutes and His judgements unto Israel. 20: He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for His judgements, they do not know them." Psalms 147:19-20. Amos 3: 2; " You only have I known of all the families of the earth." Amos 3: 7; " Surely the Lord does nothing, Unless He reveal His secrets to His servants the Prophets." Isaiah 60: 1-3; " Arise, shine: For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And gross darkness the people But the Lord will arise over you. And His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to thy light, And kings to the brightness of thy rising." Lift up your eyes and see: Thy all gather together, they come to you." Jeremiah 16:19; " O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, My refuge in the day of my affliction, The Gentiles shall come to You From the ends of the spectrum earth and say, Surely our father's have inherited lies. Worthlessness and unprofitable things. Will a man make gods for himself, Which are not gods? 21: " Therefore behold, I will this once I will cause them to know, I will cause them to know My name and My might And they shall know that My name is the Lord." These white Evangelicals have used the Gospels as a shield for their Wickedness and religious debachery. God has nothing to do with these cave dweling heathen's and the scriptures verify it from Genesis to Revelations. The Christian Church is an abomination and He hates it and all that it stands for. It is of the Devil and this is not just my opinion, this comes from TMH Himself. Daniel 11:39; " Thus he shall act against the strongest forces with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge and advance it's glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain." From the Book of Mormon; 1rst Nephi 13:6-9; And it came to pass that I beheld this great and abominable church; and I saw the devil that he was the founder of it. 7: And I also saw gold, and silver, and silks, and scarlets, and fine twined linen, and all manner of precious clothing; and I saw many harlots. 8: And the angel spake unto me saying,: Behold the gold, and the silver, and the silks, and the scarlets, and the fine twined linen, and the precious clothing, and the harlots are the desires of this great and abominable church. 9: And also for the praise of the world do they destroy the saints of God, and bring them down into captivity. This is the Evangelical Christian Church that you proclaim to be God's instrument of choice. No, to the contrary. He allowed you to do this to His heritage because of our rebellion. But TMH never decided to make the Gentiles his stewards of His judgements and His laws. Your tenure has come to an end. The penalty phase of your abuse and captivity has brought you to this moment and the judgement. Your world is turmoil; your rulers are in imploding and your culture and way of life is on its way out! 1rst Nephi 13: 26-27; And after they go forth by the hand of the twelve apostles of the lamb, from the Jews, unto the Gentiles thou seest the formation of that great and abominable church which is most abominable above all the other churches, for behold, they have taken away from the Gospel of the Lamb many parts which are plain and most precious : and also many covenants of the Lord have they taken away. 27: And all this have thru done that they might pervert the right ways f the Lord that they might blind the eyes and harden the hearts of the children of men. I will s all here. In the books you encourage too many of us not to read.

[@rogermetzger7335]

I'm 76 so there are lots of things I don't remember - especially recent things - but I don't remember watching this video before. Judging from the name of the video, I was expecting many comments about how great it is for "Christians" to "let their moral values inform their politics" or "getting America back to God". There ARE some preachers who have many followers precisely because they preach a political gospel but many other preachers have tried to imitate them in the hope of having many followers themselves. It doesn't often work out that way. I think it is because there are still enough people who have read enough of the Bible to recognize the truth of Jesus' statement "My kingdom is not of this world". My parents supported the clergy with 10% of their increase and I still think I should do that but it is getting harder and harder to find preachers who don't preach a political gospel. I blame the decline of religious organizations in the United States more on that factor than any other - maybe more than all other factors combined. And I should add that I consider that to be true in either case - preachers preaching a conservative political gospel and other preachers preaching a "progressive" political gospel.

Religion is defined as a philosophy of beliefs and worship. If you believe anything and everybody believes something then it will naturally govern all other areas of your life. It might be your religion to be anti-religion in which case you are allowing your religion to effect your politics by writing your silly post which is a political act. Maybe it is your post that has no place in politics as silencing all opposition is the first step to a totalitarian government and maybe you think that is best.

[@evlnte]

Fanatics of any kind cling to any icon; even bad ones. Religious fanatics deeply ‘’need” someone to tell them what to believe and what’s right or wrong. That is why they gravitate to religion and particularly to the most fervent and dangerous ones. They not only need to show that they are true and loyal believers, they have to make you believe as well. And what better lighting rod to unify them than a living, charismatic political figure that says they are right and everyone else is wrong.
