According to Matthew 16:17 the truth, from the Father and not from man, is the rock His church is built upon. People united in His truth and no one else's. Focus on Jesus and the Kingdom, not the kingdoms of man. Focus on the governance of the Father, not the governance of man. Both lead in opposite directions.
Jesus said not to rebel against, but to let the world do it's own thing while those of the Kingdom does theirs. The two are opposite in nature. There will always be oppressors and the oppressed. He will sort them out later.
Now... it seems that if Christians can't even agree over wars, abortion, definition of greed, good, evil and the like, then it is little wonder they can't even agree on putting the will of the Father first and loving all as self as Jesus commanded.
Christianity has clearly been infiltrated by the world, while those of the Kingdom have left the world to it's own devices without and within. As a result, the Gospel of the Kingdom has become a mere shadow of what it was once meant to be.
Confused who in Christianity is of the world and of the Kingdom. Jesus said watch the fruits. Focused on Jesus and the Kingdom, not the kingdoms of man. Focused on the governance of the Father, not the governance of man.
