It's time to ask, "WHAT'S GOING ON IN AMERICA?" You already know the answer, right? Where is the CHURCH when it comes to this administration? You know that answer too.
If you know anything about Christianity, then you know God can be displeased with CHRISTIANS. Did you know that he can also be displeased with CHURCHES?
If you watch Turner Broadcasting Network, you will notice right away, they teach Donald Trump instead of God. They repeat the phoney media stuff just like MAGA. Somehow, they have the FALSE idea you can CREATE a Christian country by getting rid of the poor and minorities who are responsible for all the ills of America. They have LOST their way. But are they like any of the seven churches named in the book of Revelation in the Bible?
The seven churches in Revelation did wrong in various ways, such as the Ephesus church for leaving its "first love," Perga, Pergamun and Thyatira for tolerating FALSE teachings and immorality, Sardis, for being spiritually dead, and Laodicea for being lukewarm and self-suffecient, The churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia were praised without significant rebuke.
The church is forgetting about Jesus and God it seems. It has turned it's back on the poor, widow, foreigner, and fatherless. They only see dollars and racism. Sunday morning service on television is gripes of old white men with white women nodding in agreemeent. White men are joining the church in droves, bringing their complaining and hate along with them. The disgruntled has found an listening ear in the church and Donald Trump. The rest of America has to suffer from their idea of who is good and who is bad. The Democrat party has been labled as not Christian. The church joins in calling anyone NOT Republican not a Christian. Judge not least you be judged. If I'm lying, tune in and listen for yourself. TBN is fanning racism and hate for the poor and non-Whites. There is no brotherly love going on over there even though they PROFESS IT with gentle language appearing safe and innocent.
Back to the churches. Ephesus wrongdoing: left their "first love" and lost their initial passion for God. The church has a PASSION for Donald Trump now as a savior figure. Excusing his horrible character with, God selects flawed people to do God's work such as King David and the Apostle Paul. David had AN affair and murdered an man. Before and after the incident, he was totally faithful to God. Paul killed Christians until his CONVERSION. After, he was the most effective disciple of Jesus. Trump is a DAILY horror show!
Smyrna's wrongdoing: No rebuke was given to this church. Praise: commended for their spiritual richness despite poverty and for enduring persecution and slander. Who is holding the church accountable for supporting Donald Trump and his underqualified lying administration? Christians are supposed to ENDURE persecution, not eradicate the country of non-Christians or who they label as bad people. They complain like they have no hope in the Lord. Their hope lies in Trump now.
Pergamum"s wrongdoing: Tolerated those who held to the teaching of Balaam and the Nicolaitans, which led to moral compromise and idolatry. Christians are a new creature in Christ. They do not do what the world does. They are called to separate themselves from the world, not deport people in a cruel way and terrorized cities trying to find people in the country illegally. There is a Scripture about the foreigner.
The Bible commands the entertainment of foreigners, emphasizing that thishospitality is the tenet of faith rooted in the Isrealite's own experience as foreigners in Egypt. That is not the example of Isreal given by American preachers on TBN. Key passages like Leviticus 19:33-34 and Deuteronomy 10:19 instruct believers to love and treat the foreigner as themselves. New Testament passages, such as Hebrews 13:2 and the parable of the sheep and goats in Matthew 25, reinforce this by urging the practice of hospitality and linking kindness to strangers with service to God.Thyatira's wrongdoing: Tolerated "Jezebel," a false prophet who misled people into sexual immorality and idolatry. Praise: praised for their love, faith, service, and patient endurance. Pastors are standing in pulpits on Sunday's promoting Republican ideology, leading people to the Republican party instead of God. Their ideology does not line up with the Bible no matter how they spin it. Even if it does, it's not for the pulpit. Leading people in a political way, where their salvation is put in question if they don't go along with "Cleaning up America" for God. No Christian has been told that. They are to count themselves BLEESED if persecuted for Jesus name. Persecution is too close to living like MINORITIES for them. They say they are targeted and by Democrats and they are FIGHTING back. Forget the turn the other cheek that Jesus taught. They are fed up and not going to take it anymore just like the disciple Judas who demanded government reform. How'd that work out?
Sardis's wrongdoing: Spiritually dead, with only a few who were awake and alive in faith. To demonstrate faith in God, Christians shouldn't be getting rid of the "Deep State," so their lives will be better. This shows they will fix things along with the help of Donald Trump for Christians. No longer are they depending on God. Trump is the new God for many. They know it because they must lie no matter how foolish they look to support THEIR selected elected God.
Philadelphia Wrongdoing: No rebuke was given to this church. Praise: praised for keeping God's word and never denying Jesus, and promised a reward for their perseverance. Notice how the church earlier is looked down upon for not rebuking itself. The church is ACCOUNTABLE for what it does. It is a entity that should always be trusted. The church supporting such right-winged extremes, and encouraging their congregation to rally behind the pain being caused by Trump is RIDICULOUS and not CHRISTIAN no matter how they spin it. Churches are teaching Republicanism instead of the Gospel to a hurting land. They are teaching REVENGE instead of love. Don't believe me. Watch TBN, especially on Sundays.
Laodicea's wrongdoing: Were "lukewarm," lacking spiritual fervor, and self-sufficient due to their wealth, which resulted in a halfway faith. Praise: none. Spiritual ferver is for Trump among Christians. Right now Donald Trump has CONTEMPT for the POOR and the CHURCH supports him. Wealth is the GAME of Trump and the Republicans. Poor people should suffer because they are LAZY in their minds. They are mad at people being poor stating they are criminals and if they can't do better they need to leave the country or die. Bible scripture such as, "If a man doesn't work, he doesn't eat" make Pastor Hagee type Christians justified in their dislike for poor people who need assistance. The CHURCH builds and feeds people in foreign lands while detesting the poor and hungry at their doorstep. No reason is acceptable for people needing help from their country. This is the blanket they sleep with at night. Their WEALTH and desire for more wealth, has HARDENED their HEARTS.The church is the body which contains the Christians. We all are sinners. No one can point to who is heaven bound or not, because God chooses who he chooses. And Black and Brown poor people will be in heaven. Where do they think thye go when dead? Their won't be a section for the rich and one for the poor. God said store up your treasures in heaven. Trying to make heaven on Earth is just as stupid as those who loved God trying to build a tower to where he was.
I don't know what is on the minds of today's Christian. I know there is White fright of being a minority and having to live like minorities have done for years. They have gone back to the SUPERIORITY of Whites which is NOT Christian. And yes, they are asked to PERSEVERE through difficult times in a sinful world. There has never been a mandate to CHANGE the world. The commission is to share the Gospel, not Right wing ideation.
If I were these people sitting in church being led by such a pastor, minister, preacher, I wouldn't be clapping at their CRUEL jokes. In seminary, I noticed the cruel humor of many of the pastors getting their Master Degree. At the time Rush Limbaugh, the street drug addict was envogue. They would laugh at his mean-spirited jokes about Democrats and debasing people in the Democratic party. I listened to him too to the shock of many. My listening to Rush, was to confirm the ugly hearts of my fellow Seminarians. At seminary they asked enrollees not to watch TBN or mainstream media. Yeah. Listen and feed yourself with name-calling and cruel dry humor jokes, which the Right has happily adopted on Twitter. They only trust news that ridicule people nonstop and then point to MSNBC who has accredited journalist not opinion mongers. Opinions are facts on Fox News and TRUTH is FAKE news and attacks on main-stream media is encouraged. They turn every serious concern into a cruel dry joke that only they laugh at with their Christian hearts.
The Church and Christians are giving Christianity a black eye turning hundreds away daily with their laughing at human tragedy ways. Fox News feeds a steady diet of hate even though they were successfully sued for lible and slander, lying knowingly, even though peers asked them to stop. Did Fox lose viewership? No! Because who else will keep them fired up with hate, fear, demeaning talking points and lies about their opposition. With baited breath, they sue people without credible cause. If one person refuses to do as Trump want, they are fired. Men are NO LONGER men when dealing with Trump and they worry about the trans community. He emasculates them and abandons them. Sorry, he PARDONS criminals for LOYALTY. Christians love that too.
I ask all Christians to examine your heart. Pretend you are standing in JUDGEMENT before God. Explain to him why the Republicans are Christians and the Democrats are sinners to God. Tell Him how you took matters in your own hands supporting Trump and ICE and MAKING lazy people work and illegal aliens deported in a humiliating and embarrising way for fun. Tearing families apart. Not following the law of the land. The Bible said, Jesus gave Ceaser what was due Ceaser. Jesus didn't break laws and lie as he demonstrated how to live a holy life on Earth. HE STOOD WITH THE POOR.
I rebuke the churches. I say that mandatory legislated Christianity is not GODLY and you know it. You no longer evangilize to those needing salvation, you evangelize more for soldiers into the Army of Trump preying on the vulnerable saying how the CHURCH is going to straighten out America with the help of Trump not God.
The Republicans are against anything labeled 'woke' which they label everything these days. The Christian Republicans on social media are NASTY and RACIST proclaiming God and how superior they are to others. Yes, they say a country with Black people should not be taken seriously. I ask practicing Christians, who have not forgot their first love to persevere knowing there is damage being done to our faith. Only our Christian example, exampled by Jesus, will save Christianity. Speak up about the abuse of the church that is occuring now being led by Right-Wing Republicans instead of God-fearing Christians.
You know God when you see him. You know people by their fruit. But you are never called to CRUELTY and RACISM. There is no excuse. I don't care who all you name as CRIMINALS. You have been warned by the ONE book of the Bible that says not to add or remove a word. In Revelation 22:18 this verse offers a stern warning not to add to the words of Revelation; the next verse also condemns those who would attempt to censor it. Adding to the book of Revelation brings God's judgment: plagues will fall on the one who adds to Revelation. The Church is an ARM of Trump's using the SAME buzz words given to the Republican party on FOX NEWS each morning with smiles and jokes. America is not laughing at how the Church USES God.
It's time to call out the Church, especially Evangelicals for their actions on the public stage. Spreading the Gospel has become SECOND to spreading Donald Trump. SHAME! I know what my eyes SEE and my ears HEAR.
