I think the electoral politics is over with at this point, we might be better off trying to retake the culture, but then...how?I am hoping in the future Republicans are able to make up losses in traditionally Red states that are trending Blue (GA, AZ) by holding onto FL, OH, & IA consistently while making grounds in the Midwest WI, MI, & PA.
They control more than the entertainment industry.And at least the evil has institutional and artistic/cultural company. Maybe I sound prideful, but I long to live in a kind of society where company like artists/actors/entertainers/other important kind of people had views that I could at least partially identify with.
I'm not sure anyone knows.I think the electoral politics is over with at this point, we might be better off trying to retake the culture, but then...how?
He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”Ugh, I was born in 1991, and I dread being in what is supposed to be my prime right now and watching the world around me burn and it isn't going to get better in my lifetime at least. I feel like I'm just living on borrowed time.
Why did God allow Satan's legions down here to have their way for too long? That is one of the things that bother me most. And God's own created world is going to burn and be destroyed and the bad guys still got away with it.
To me, it sounds like he suddenly changes the rules of the "game" as soon as that happens so it's kind of hard to compare meaning. And God allowed his system to be manipulated and rigged to favor the most wealthy, powerful people in important status positions belonging to the dark one. I still don't see or know why that had to be necessary in the first place.He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”

That’s how this plays out. Don’t lose heart. He’s in control.
Well, the disciples didn’t understand why Christ had to be crucified. And that worked out.To me, it sounds like he suddenly changes the rules of the "game" as soon as that happens so it's kind of hard to compare meaning.

His kingdom will continue to grow.Why is God still letting them get away with this when it was at least 50 years already? Why can't the mainstream get to be conservatives or (at least nominally) Christians again?
What kind of Bible you readiing from? You seriously sound like the Israelites who brought up an evil report after spying out the land. (Numbers 13:32). Read the curse pronounced and brought against such individuals.
Your unfounded and ungodly pessimism is part of the reason for moral decline in recent decades. Stop imposing such limitation on the Almighty.
Have you already forgotten the accross-the-board conservatve victories in the 2016 eleciton cycle?
What you are witnessing if the spiritual decline in the social acceptable church circles. The more LGBTQ at the pulpt the more the spiritual standards will degrade.
Aye, I've seen it. I've had (ex) friends who said stuff like if you're not flying a pride flag, you're openly oppressing them. That's the attitude people are having. If you don't have their beliefs & are openly showing it, you're no better (& deserve no better) than a KKK or Nazi. That's a scary thing. They're trying to make this the 'Civil Rights Era 2.0' where anyone who thinks different than them is to be demonized. You don't even have to be opposing it, you can just be indifferent. Notice how the past year or so they've really been repeating 'inaction is no action' or 'if you're not doing anything for it, than you're against it'?

You might be amazed at just how many are in all walks of life.Why don't you pursue a career in that? Get your other fellow conservatives to do the same. Begin a trend. That's the only way to make a change, which is for conservatives to start pursuing those careers.
What about the cautions that are in the video comments? Bate-taking or not, they are still going to do what they do and just manufacture the "bate-takers" and film it anyway. I'm not a pacifist purist either, we are going to have to respond sometimes. Even Christ himself died being crucified to a cross without getting any return. Just thinking about praying can be done all you want, but just thinking and having faith isn't going to change anything for the better on a societal level, nor has that ever. It has not stopped the countless Christians from being persecuted in the Soviet Union.
I think we need to back up and figure out why God informed us of what is coming to pass. No where in scripture is there a political movement mentioned to rectify the woe by gones at society level. What prophecy does do is inform us of what is going to come to pass, so that we may be prepared for it. Prayers give us direction if we but listen to Him.What about the cautions that are in the video comments?
