And the U.S. is supposed to support this maniacal, murderous nonsense??

And Christians too???

It would behoove Disciples of Christ to read their Bibles instead of the headlines & talking points from their favorite News outlets.

"And I will bless those who bless YOU (Abraham), and the one who curses YOU (Abraham) I will curse. And in YOU ALL ... ALL (not a singular, 21st Century piece of real estate or its citizens) the families of the earth will be blessed.” - Gen 12:3

“As for Me, behold, My covenant is with YOU (Abraham), and YOU will be the father of a MULTITUDE OF NATIONS (NOT a singular one). No longer shall you be named Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made YOU the father of a MULTITUDE OF NATIONS." - Gen 17:4-5

"For there is no partiality with God." - Rom 2:11

"For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart..." - Rom 2:28-29a

"For THE PROMISE TO ABRAHAM and to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was NOT THROUGH THE LAW, but through the righteousness of faith." - Rom 4:13

"...for they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel...it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants." - Rom 9:6b, 8

"Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of Faith (not Jesus denying, Jewish anti-Christs) who are sons of Abraham. The scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, 'ALL ... ALL the nations will be blessed in you.' So then those who are of FAITH (not murderers of the Son of God who deny Jesus is deity and state He is currently boiling in human excrement in Hell) are blessed with Abraham, the believer." - Gal 3:7-9

This is PRECISELY why Jesus told them to their faces, "Therefore I say to you (the Jews who eventually murdered and rejected Him), the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruit of it."

And that "Nation" is now made up of every single person the face of the earth --- REGARDLESS of race, creed, color, ethnicity, or family tree --- who has put their faith, hope, and trust in Jesus the Christ!!

"But YOU (Christian believers in Christ -- NOT Jews) YOU ... are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession..." - 1 Peter 2:9a

There is ONE and only ONE way to deal with the problem of sin, secure your relationship with God for all eternity, and be freed from the chains of sin and death ... and His name is Jesus! (Cf John 14:6)

Your ethnicity won't save you...
Your family tree won't save you...
Your heritage and race won't save you...
And the blood in your veins (even if you can trace it all the way back to the Tribe of Benjamin like the Apostle Paul) won't save you...

Only faith in Christ will.
We are saved by grace ... NOT by race!

Romans 8:13, "If you are living in accord with the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live."

Some of the ORIGINAL language of the Hippocratic Oath used by Doctors to protect and preserve life. Can you guess what has been changed?

I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but never with a view to injury and wrong-doing. Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. But I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art ... into whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of man or woman, bond or free ... now if I carry out this oath, and break it not, may I gain forever reputation among all men for my life and for my art; but if I transgress it and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me."

Don't forget where your hope lies and in whom you have put your trust!

Ekklesia (i.e. the PEOPLE of God): a gathering of believers in Christ intended to, "...equip them for the works of service."

So ... why does there seem to be such a stagnation of inaction and false doctrine(s) so prevalent within the Americanized version of God's church today?

Have we become religious spectators rather than repentant participants?

Is it because we have few bondservants and far more '"Co-Regents" who want to share the throne of their hearts with King Jesus rather than truly surrender?

Perhaps it's because we have far too many pretend Christians who have plenty of standing in the Community but very little kneeling in the prayer closet.

Maybe the eagerness for numbers and relevance in the eyes of men has caused a willingness amongst Church leaders and Pastors to preach only a message of love and inclusion rather than one of repentance and sacrifice.

Maybe it's because the American pulpit is filled with a message that exalts and promulgates the desires and dreams of the human heart rather than the plans and purposes of the Father's heart and His purposes for building HIS kingdom.

Jesus bled, died for, and built HIS Church (i.e. His Bride ... not a building) for a reason. We should always remember that, and always remember to let the Architect and Builder determine how His creation should look, act, and live.

Truth isn't true because it works for you ... that's just pragmatism.

Truth isn't true because popular culture says it is ... that's just moral relativism.

Truth isn't true because Academia and the postmodern "mind" says it is ... that's just secular humanism.

Truth isn't true because YOU say it is ... that's just subjectiveism.

Truth is true because it is anchored in a Person ... Jesus the Christ!
