When I was in evangelical Christianity, the world had a filter on it. Everything was interpreted through a certain narrative. No matter how happy someone seemed, if they didn't know Jesus, they were secretly miserable...
Dark forces worked behind the government and the powers of the world. You could never trust your eyes. There was an us vs them mentality, and a chosen mentality.
The troubles and the challenges we faced were mainly because we were believers, being persecuted by the world.
@NiveusLepus I want to see the political death grip that Republicanism has on Christianity to be shattered. I want the expression of Christianity in the United States to be the best version of itself and not this whiny, backward, corrupt version.
You may no longer believe in God but I do. Our God is a jealous God who disciplines His own. Trump is a test and he is headed for a great fall. My prayer is that when it happens much corruption and evil in the church will be expunged and die with him.
@danielbsmith I would also like to see Christianity and religion out of the political spectrum entirely. The first amendment and freedom of speech has allowed for a diverse and plurality of views, which I feel, only makes us stronger.
While our beliefs are different, we are both praying it seems for justice and sanity to again reign.
@danielbsmith I wish you very much the same my friend.
Coso is one of those places for me.
@NiveusLepus Agreed.
May you have a wonderful weekend surrounded by people that truly care about you. ♥️
