@@tcorbett72 "Sharia" means "law" in Arabic. There's this myth that's being perpetuated that Sharia is some sort of inherently theocratic, authoritarian system that's promoted by terrorist groups. It's not, it's just following the basic tenants of Islam; how to pray, doing the pilgrimage to Mecca, how marriage is carried out, etc. If you asked a Muslim "do you believe in Sharia Law?" it would be like asking a Christian "do you believe in the Bible?".

I was raised liberal Presbyterian, and was introduced to true Christianity by a Baptist. While I am no longer Baptist, I was impressed by the genuine love of truth, the humility, the thorough exegisis of the Scriptures, the vibrant worship, and genuine fellowship of fellow Baptists. I remain a Christian believer. I have pursued more knowledge and have studied the peace and purity of the church. I owe a debt of gratitude to the Baptists who nurtured my Christian faith.

Shame they never saw what happens in a Orthodox country where cooperation of church and state works.

I was raised pagan in the rural Midwest; my family moved when I was seven from the rural East Coast. People would get fired for not being Christian in many types of jobs because it takes money to hire lawyers, so while my parents were in academic jobs that were less vulnerable, we always had to be very careful when we talked about what we did and with whom. When I moved to the East Coast for college, nobody believed anything I said, and it was really weird to be around liberal Christians who seemed unaware and uncaring about the way their religion was being used as a weapon against religious minorities in other parts of the country. Now that the news is reporting on the exact things I told other people about in the mid-2000s, suddenly they believe me.

When studying the Mark of the Beast, Christians focus on the technique used (the mark) rather than the outcome. The outcome is clear. People and nations are unable to buy and sell without the permission of the democrat beast (liberal hegemon). John described this outcome clearly. This is the important message of the vision. He saw a great political power waging war and controlling the world using economic weapons. The technique by which control is accomplished is less important, because it is determined by the legal situation at the time when it will be fulfilled. John did not know how societies would change over time, so he did not understand the techniques by which this vision could be achieved in the future. So, he described it in terms of words and images that he understands. Marking people with an image/stamp was the way that empires and slaveowners controlled people in John's time. So that is the way that John described the techniques used by the empire to impose control. Focussing on the technique is a mistake, because the Beast will use whatever tools that are available at the time when the vision is being fulfilled. A modern empire can use tariffs, import controls, quality standards and documentation requirements to limit trade. The United States can also use the SWIFT system that banks use for international transfers to control trade. These are a practical implementation of the Mark of the Beast

The notion that the US was founded as a Christian nation is so blatantly ahistorical that it kind of shocks me that anyone believes it. I mean look up the Enlightenment. Antireligion was one of the most important aspects of it along with upholding science and individualism. That's the movement that inspired the American revolution as well as the French revolution and the overall shift away from feudalism and monarchy. It is true that a lot of the settlers to America were religious puritans. They were a big part of the revolutionary coalition and had to be accommodated by the leaders, but the founders themselves, the guys that everyone always focuses on as the leaders of the revolution, they weren't Christians, not even close.

We can not forget slavery but we also can not forget the struggles of the Native Americans and possibly others when it comes to the creation of America.

If you read the 2nd Amendment in its entirety, it's clear that the right to "keep and bear arms" is granted in the context of the need for a "well regulated Militia". If you're an originalist (the type of constitutional interpretation favored by conservatives), you have to concede that the people's right to have guns isnt in place so they can protect themselves, but so that they can serve in the state's militia. In other words, you don't have an unconditional right to just have guns for the sake of having guns

NO. America was not founded as a "Christian" nation. The U.S.was established as a Secular, Independent, Non-monarchical nation -a Republic with an elected President and Legislature at the Federal level and elected Governours and Legislatures at the State level. What made the U.S. unique was the ABSENCE OF A STATE RELIGION, a separation of civic life from the highly personal sphere of religious life. The colonies included Jews, Catholics, "Quakers", Unitarians. and assorted non-theists whose differing beliefs needed to be respected in order to avoid the "religious wars" that had divided Europe for centuries before the "colonies" founded by Dutch, English, French, German and other Europeans united to form the U.S.A. The founders included Intellectual Deists and Non-Theists as well as those who identified as Christians. The First Amendment forbids the establishment of a State Religion. That decision was not taken lightly. Wars fought in the name of religion had taken millions of lives in Britain, Europe, and the Middle East causing hundreds of years of RELIGIOUS TYRANNY. America was to be a country based on Constitutional Law - not on religious dogma. No matter how numerous the adherents of any religion might be, the U.S. is a country of laws that are based on the Constitution. Elected Officials derive their authority from and swear to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America". Civic life is public; religious life is private. That is the American Way.

The US Constitution is very much founded upon Christian principles. The 1st amendment, often referred to as "Religious freedom", or "Separation of church and state" are fundamental Christian principles. In that, in the beginning of the Bible, God creates man, then he grants man freewill (freedom to choose God or not). Christianity can not be forced upon anyone because it requires the willing & sincere heart. John Adams: "The destiny of America is to carry the gospel of Jesus Christ to all men everywhere. We Recognize No Sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus! I have examined all religions, and the result is that the Bible is the best book in the world". John Adams: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people it is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams: "Now I will avow, that I then believed, and now believe, that those general Principles of Christianity, are as eternal and immutable, as the Existence and Attributes of God: and that those Principles of Liberty, are as unalterable as human Nature and our terrestrial, mundane System."

Deism is a subset of Theism, in which god created the world and left it alone. Similarly Epicurus believed the gods do not involve themseleves in the affairs of mortals, so in that way many of the founding fathers were more Epicurean than Evangelical Christian.

This needs to be discussed and the extremists shown for what they are. Very much appreciate the participants that extolled acceptance and affirmation for ALL humans.

At the time didn't know what CULTS are but went in made genuine relationships within the church got really SAVED. 10 years later i saw church splits bts sin within management etc. The Church today has fallen, scripture is NOT the Final authority in the Church and many will fall away. Praise God I had a personal relationship with him and Real Brothers and sisters in Christ to unveil the TRUTH. I dont attend Church anymore here in NZ i believe there aren't any genuine ones.

If you need the fear of god in order to be good, you’re not a good person and never will be. Keep your religion in your home and place of worship. Because if Islam becomes the majority religion in America, all these Christians will be yelling the same things the rest of us have been. And it’ll be too late. Keeping religion out of government and public spaces, allows everyone to be on even footing. They’d see that if they weren’t too busy trying to make everyone believe what the believe and act the way they see fit.

The Bible is not about religion or paganism. The Bible is Black History there are no white people in the Bible.

I am a former pastor’s wife and I taught elementary school for twenty years and I prayed every morning before I picked up my students for class. I didn’t the need to stop and pray out in front of my students and faculty and parents. That coach didn’t have to pray out on the field, he could have prayed in his office. “ But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you shut the door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Jesus sermon on the mount Matthew 6 :6. Now if you want to be seen by men you will go out and pray on a football and make an issue out of it.
