It's

 


just perverse.


Tux-Wearing Christian Nationalists Laugh About Their Influence, Live From Mar-a-Lago


"Both religious figures are associated with an evangelical movement called the New Apostolic Reformation, or NAR, which has an unusual obsession with earthly power."

(Truth )

"Garlow at first mocked the media attention, saying he was “disappointed they didn’t call us Christian internationalists” — reflecting the global ambition of his quest for right-wing Christian dominion. But then Garlow played the victim: “The phrase ‘Christian nationalist’ has one purpose,” he insisted. “And that is simply to bully Christians — to intimidate, silence them so they will not be involved governmentally.” Garlow then claimed that this was done in the service of satanic forces, “so The Enemy can have his way and destroy the country.”


(Do these guys just forget 

that God uses the enemy to do his will?


"The country is already destroyed

the missiles just haven't started flying yet."

My pastor friend said.


"Thy will be done

On earth 

as it is in heaven."


This is such a small minority

with such outsized influence 

in certain circles

its scary AF.


I can tell you this.

Gods will 

will be done.


No matter what.)


"In his banter with Wallnau, Garlow certainly did not distance himself from a Christian nationalist ideology. In fact, he underscored his belief that 

Christians are meant to be in control 

— to advance the Kingdom of God across the planet."


(Then why did Christ say that Christians will be persecuted in the end times?

If they are the ones

"Meant to be in control"?


Matthew 24:9

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.


Thats Christ talking to his disciples privately about the coming end of the age of grace.


I'm sorry but if your in charge?

How exactly do you get delivered 

into affliction and killed again?


The only way you accept this type of garbage 

is if you dont know scripture.


We are supposed to grow in our faith.

Not stay pat.

Not go backwards. 

GROW.

How exactly are you growing in your faith if you dont even understand the basics of the scripture?


Matthew 25:14-30


For the kingdom of heaven is 

as a man travelling into a far country, 

who called his own servants, 

and delivered unto them his goods.

And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

(8 = a new beginning.

So many layers of meaning to every word he spoke.

Nothing he ever said was wrong

nor was it an accident.)


Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

And I was afraid

and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.


(Cowards go straight to hell

right along with everybody 

they love to judge so much:

Revelation 21:8

But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

Second death is your souls death.

Your eternal separation from God.

Exactly what you dont want.)

His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.


For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

(I know I got a lot of favorite passages of scripture

But that one above is right up there with them.)


And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: 

there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.


That was the penalty for not growing!


This:

"Christians are meant to be in control"


Not only is it

"Not Growing"?


ITS GOING BACKWARDS!


Why?


Because you simply 

dont understand scripture!


Either you dont understand it 

or you blatantly rebel against it. 

Either way?

Same result.


Hosea 4:6

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee.


And thx pastor Bridgette for the excellent message Sunday :-)

Fits right in here.)


"Garlow explained: 

“We don’t just ‘preach Jesus.’ 

We preach what Jesus preached."


No 

No you most certianly do not.

You do 

EXACTLY

what he said to not do.


Matthew 6:5-15

Prayer

“And when you pray, 

do not be like the hypocrites, 

for they love to pray 

standing in the synagogues 

and on the street corners 

to be seen by others

Truly I tell you, 

they have received their reward in full.




)


Thats two strikes in my book.
Thinking Christians are supposed to be in charge 
when in fact they should expect persecution 
and praying for the express purpose of being seen doing so.

Look, I got no problem with public prayer.
I do it myself.

Its the intent of your heart that's the focus here.

Are you doing it out of a deep-seated personal belief?
Or praying just to be seen doing so?

The scripture is more than clear:

"Truly I tell you, 

they have received their reward in full.")


"As the MAGA movement seeks a return to the White House, religious extremism is no longer marginalized. It is now baked into the cake."

(Heres how history says this plays out:

First?
First your lil group 
isn't "pure" enough.

(Fundamentalist takeover of
what ever your group happens to be)

Then when you get power?
NOBODY 
besides those
"In charge"
are ideologically pure enough.

)


“Without him,”  (Trump) Wallnau continued, warning of God’s wrath, “the sheer stupidity of the leadership decisions that are happening is a form of judgment. It’s like having an imbecilic spirit on the country that self destructs. No one else is destroying us,” Wallnau explained. “We’re destroying ourselves.

Yo dude?
Its been going on for a long time now.

Where were ya?
