Faith in Choice: Two Years After Dobbs
Просмотров 1614 дней назад
Often in the reproductive healthcare debate, the voice of the faithful gets portrayed only on one side - the side of those trying to restrict women’s autonomy and access to abortion. However, this does not portray the entire picture. There is a rich and storied history of people of faith coming together to collaborate to ensure access to healthcare, defend autonomy in the healthcare decision-ma...

    1:48 if the idea that we were born in sin isn’t true post Darwin, then it never was true ever… I don’t have a problem with people saying that Christian’s authority (the Bible) is completely absurd. I’m used to it at this point. I have a problem when people call themselves Christian and reject the authority of the Bible. Just say you reject the Bible and like some of Christ’s teachings. But don’t call yourself a Christian. Much less a bishop 🤣

    Great interview. Many Christians don’t understand Christian nationalism fully. It poses a threat to christians themselves. It will impose its interpretation of the Bible on you. American Christian nationalist types have never liked Catholics and Mormons and of course Jews and Muslims. Mike Johnson has declared himself a prophet of god. That’s dangerous stuff.

    Christian Nationalism vs. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. America was founded on a man made godless Constitution. A godless society does not believe in man made gods but is ruled by man made laws that promote the general welfare.

    The same people warning about “Christian Nationalism” are the same people who push for “Diversity Equality and Inclusion”. Same disgusting hypocrisy displayed. “Social Justice”, LGBTQAI+ is totally good causes and the church should support it. And then when there is a backlash and pushback? Suddenly these degenerates are all about not pushing for social and political changes. You’ll have to stand before God one day and answer for this. Oh wait, you actually never believed in God? And only is a “Christian” because it works for you? Well, Jesus’ words in Matthew 7:23 for just for you then.

  • @g-coalitionbrother1729
    @g-coalitionbrother1729 Месяц назад

    Two things the Bible makes perfectly clear, as does all of human history following suit: (1) A completely godless society ultimately cannot stand because human desires left unchecked by any kind of moral restraint always lead to sin, crime, and selfishness running rampant. (2) A society in which religion is imposed by humans onto humans invariably always falls prey to corrupt authoritarian persecution in which those in power close off the true Kingdom of God not only to themselves because their doctrines are undoubtedly locked in some form of error, but to their subjects as well who are forced to follow these errors often under fear of death. People are so caught up in anger over the secularity of the current West, so riled up to be living through the first fact of life mentioned above, that they will readily line up to shoot for the second by fighting a holy war while their spirits are blind with hatred, power-lust, and revenge. Meanwhile they fail to realize the "you will not buy or sell without the mark" Beast system that Christ warned about is NOT an obviously godless world order that everyone can see is on shaky ground, but a *counterfeit religious kingdom capable of deceiving even the elect.*

      You're presuming religion makes people moral. It does not. It never did. Morality doesn't come from religion. If you believe your God is moral, read Exodus 21. If you agree those rules are moral, you're a monster. God believes those rules were moral.

      Unfortunately, a political party does not distinguish one's faith in Jesus Christ, who is the center and the reason for each person salvation not belonging to a worldly political party. We are saved by Grace and his love and every human being and everybody has freedom and make their own choice to belong or join a worldly political Party of their own choice, which really does not give anybody permission or feel entitled for their names to be written in the Lambs book. And Our father looks into our hearts not which political party. And we should not Criticize anybody for their choices they make in this world because God will judge each one of us according to our earthly deeds not who belonged to what political. Wisdom from God is required to love others regardless of opinions or choices they make. Jesus loved all even the Pharisees, thieves, prostitutes and all sinners. The greatest commandment is to love others just like we love ourselves. Love is the excellent way to go and you receive that love back when you sincerely love the unlovable. How can we say we love God whom we have never seen and yet we don't love his very own creation? God bless you..
