Christian Guts

        I chose this title because the apparent lack of courage, in the American Christian world, is significant in its absence.  The press, the entertainment industry, our government, the atheist groups, the street gangs, the KKK - the skin heads - the Arian nation, the anti God forces of the ACLU, the freedom from religion foundation, the government removing God from it's military ranks, among others, have been attacking the Biblical values this country was founded on[1].  We Christians/Jews seem to be afraid to speak out against the loss of religious respect and freedom that has been so diminished in our country.  Our founders said that if ever our moral and Christian values were taken away, the country would be lost.

          Christians and Jews, being slaughtered all over the world simply for their religion, is a fact of life.  Because the body count in the U.S. has been so low, thus far, we don't seem to think it will ever get to us and our families.  Oh, ye of little faith; you don't think they are coming?.  They have said they are coming for us, and all the signs point to their efforts being underway.  "People of the Book" are the targets of several pagan religions.  The "People Of The Book" are the Jews/Christians.

          We have so many denominations, all fighting among themselves, that the apostate movement in our churches is hardly noticed. Since 80% of our population claim to be Christian, there is no excuse for not being in total control of the country. Non participation in politics is a dereliction of your Christian duty.  This is a nation set up by the Lord, in much the same way He set up Israel. Israel got The Law, and we got our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. This nation was set up  with a biblical foundation by our founding fathers.  Proof of this fact will be listed at the end of this paper.  You have to be an absolute imbecile to believe this country is not supposed to be a Christian nation.

          If someone had told our founding fathers that this country would have abortion on demand under the guise of women's health, same sex marriage, a gay rights movement, 41% of our children being born out of wedlock[2], eighteen trillion in national debt, cohabitation as an accepted lifestyle, Bibles not allowed in schools, 58% of  births being to cohabiting, but unmarried  parents[3],  a national murder rate of 43 out of every 100,000[4], restrictions on owning and carrying firearms, atheists suing to keep Christians silent,      they would have been laughed to scorn.  Are you somehow under the impression that the God of our fathers is satisfied with our present condition? Our government making sin legal, doesn't make it right.

          Jesus told us that we would be persecuted for His name sake.  Some Christians  don't vote ( an estimated 50% of evangelicals), and some Christians will vote for people who espouse same sex marriage, abortion, and  other anti biblical stands. No real Christian should ever vote for someone who promoted these things. Psalm 94:16 asks: "Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?"

          Muslims say that Jesus will return and land somewhere around Damascus which we know by the Bible will probably have been destroyed by then. Why then did the Muslims seal up the eastern gate and build a graveyard outside the gate to try to keep Jesus from entering there? Isa who in Islam is supposed to be the Jesus in the Bible, in no way has anything to do with the one true and living God. It is absolute blasphemy, the way the Muslims describe Jesus. Those who invented the religion of Islam will

surely burn in the hottest part of Hell. Despite this, there are those who would have us accept Islam, and other religions as equal to Christianity/Judaism. Chrislam is one of these movements. Some of our denominations are leaning this way.

          Forty one years ago, Dave Wilkerson wrote[5] that this country was coming to judgment. About the same time, Hal Lindsey wrote "The Late Great Planet Earth", essentially saying the same thing. We have no excuse for not knowing what is wrong.

          God did withhold his judgment on our country, because of the Jesus movement of the 60's and 70's and early 80's.  Do you think there is any chance for the same kind of revival today? God said: " If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."[6]  "The only thing that God respects as much as faith, is repentance."[7]

          Jesus said, many will come in my name and deceive many - false preachers/teachers who say they are Christian: like Rob Bell, Joel Osteen, Oprah Winfrey, Rick Warren, Robert Schuler, Kenneth Copeland, among many others, spend more time entertaining the goats than feeding the sheep. Some even deny the basic fundamentals of biblical Christianity.

          We seem to be in the throws of multiple crisis's. There seems to be a new crisis each day. Our president has said the following are “Useless distractions and phony scandals”. Some of these crisis's are -

1. Benghazi

2. Fast and Furious

3. IRS giving out information for political reasons

4. DOJ infiltrating the AP

5. GSA spending out of control

6. The Oval Office leaks that have never been found

7. Secret Service prostitutes

8, New Black Panther Party cover-up

9. bugging of the congressional cloak room[8] 

10. IRS targeting conservative groups – favoritism to liberal groups

11. Abuse by EPA (Ulsterman report) favorable treatment to liberal groups to the detriment of conservative groups [9]

12. Attacks on Christians in the Military, by the military[10] 

 
13. DOJ overreach in investigating individual reporters and their parents

14. HHS illegally raising private funds to promote its agenda – extortion

15. IRS targeting of individual GOP donors.

16. The EPA Illegal targeting and confiscation of materials of Gibson Guitar Co., which the CEO says were caused by contributions to conservative groups

17. Attorney general secretly granted government ability to develop and store dossiers on innocent Americans (shades of J. Edgar Hoover).  

18. Dept. of Labor determined Fort Hood shootings were workplace violence - changed to terrorism in April of 2015

19. EPA showing favoritism to liberal groups, in charging fees or not charging for Freedom of information materials

20. NSA demanding phone records for 121 million Verizon customers[11]

AND mining information from top internet companies[12]

21. IRS, employee misuse of government credit cards, for internet porn, gifts, baby clothes, etc.

22. The ‘community action division’ of the DOJ travels the country stirring up racial problems (Ex. Setting up racial demonstrations against George Zimmerman and the Ferguson, MO fiasco).

23. U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) officials ordered subordinates not to talk to congressional investigators about their investigation into illicit hiring practices and related whistleblower retaliation allegations[13]

24. Hillary Clintons E-mail scandal

Among Others

          These are all only symptoms of the REAL PROBLEM.  The real problem is the spiritual degeneration of our nation.  If the people responsible for the above crisis's had been born again Christians who believed and followed the Word of God, these things would most likely never have happened.

          The following APOSTATE churches have, or are going to, divest of Israel, to try to get Israel to go against God and divide the land that God gave to them. God frowns on this.  This is just another form of anti-Semitism. You cannot fight against God's people and prosper. There never was, anywhere in history, and never will be, a Palestinian people.

Presbyterian Church (USA)

World Council of Churches

United Church of Christ

United Methodist Church

Episcopal Church

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

The Church of England synod 

The three greatest threats to Christianity in America are -

1. The apostate "Christian church"

2. Islamic expansion

3. Our anti Constitutional government

These are in order of their danger.

          Although almost 80% of the people in the U.S. are professing Christians, I have heard it said that only about 9% of those professing to be Christian are actually Born Again Christians (biblical Christians).  This is significant because Jesus said that the way to Heaven is narrow and many will miss it. I realize that much of what I am saying here is, in essence, preaching to the choir.   In Matthew 25:8-9 Jesus says: "they talk like they know me, but in their hearts they have no idea who I am. They teach the rules, ideas and wishes of man, rather than mine." It is not the fault of the student if they are taught wrong lessons, but rather the fault of the teacher. But what is the responsibility of the student? Every student must study for himself to see if the lesson is true. The Bibles says to test EVERY spirit (or lesson). Could this be what Thomas Jefferson meant when he said "question everything, even the very existence of God"? We must study for ourselves to make sure we know what God wants us to know, rather than someone telling us what they say God says. Matthew 15:13-14 says: "But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch". Then in verse 15 Peter said, teach us what YOU want us to know.

          FBI director James Comey says that ISIS is radicalizing people in all 50 states. Ezekiel 33:2-6  says: "Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and takes not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that takes warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand".  Now that I have done my duty; to sound out the warning, its up to you (will you choose to listen). Don't be one of those who will not hear and will not see. According to Comey, ISIS is telling people "if you can't come, kill somebody where you are. Al Shabaab is calling for an attack on Mall of America.

          America may have already reached the point of no return; because nations have to be judged in this life. There is no afterlife for a nation.  The individual, however, still has a chance to develop his own relationship with God, separate from his nationality. Jesus said that the individual must be Born Again.  Throughout the New testament we see this repeated by the writers.[14]

          I have had a lifelong problem with rage. Whatever the source may be, the root is always Satan, and his trying to effect my life. Twice when taking tests, once for an employment agency and once by an employer, taken by all advanced salesmen, the following was stated - 1. The examiner for the employment agency said I showed the highest rage score he had ever seen. 2. The company tester told the group that I had all of the qualities that would make me a successful salesman, but he didn't know what to say about the extreme rage factor the tests showed (he thought it was funny). I present this to let you know how I feel when I see what is happening to our Christian nation and our Christian brothers and sisters. I would prefer to think that what I have is righteous indignation.  Perhaps, if I were to compare myself to one of the prophets of old: I would be less a Jeremiah and more of an Elijah.  Jeremiah cried about the situation, while Elijah called down fire from Heaven on the false prophets. In reality, I pray that I am lead by the Holy Spirit of God. He, and He only, do I wish to serve.
