Your turn. Can't be me to give all the solutions.

Well, I had hoped others would chime in, but I guess it is fairly obvious that if the reason
academia, media and government are infected with the evil Marxist ideology is because
they have been brain-washed/blinded by college professors, then the solution is to__________.

Anyone wanna guess?
 
Peter wanted Jesus to live and not be killed. Peter was looking at the 'world/flesh/men' and not God. God didn't send Jesus to set up anything earthly, He came to do God's will. I love my Lord.

Matthew 16
21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
 
And what was that he was savoring exactly that was wrong?

Get born again and walk with the Lord!

Acts 26:18
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Okay, that would be great! How do you propose accomplishing that?

First off you need to study and learn God's Word and understand this world is lost and is not going to be saved as the Lord is going to allow mankind to have the devil since they all want the devil which will lead to the coming one world government and it's anti-christ which will destroy the world as we know it.

So nobody is going to make everybody get saved and save the world.

The end times are here and the world as we know it will be destroyed (not the earth itself) and around half of the world's population will die during the great tribulation. Nobody can do anything to stop that due to man having rejected the Lord in favor of being servants of satan.

The good news is when Jesus returns to earth at the end of the great tribulation, He's going to lock up the devil and those serving him down in hell and Jesus is going to take over ruling this earth with a hand of iron and this world will see 1000 years of divine rule

Rather than worrying about politics and saving the world, you should start praying for and asking the Lord to teach and train you how to become a soul winner and reach people in your area with the gospel and then be available to them as a mentor so to speak to disciple them.

It's a trick and a snare of the devil for Christians to get so caught up in politics and what's going on in this world that they forget we are supposed to be ambassadors for Christ to win the lost to the Lord. Most have no idea getting all political is a trick of the devil to divert people away from what's really important and that is walking with the Lord and teaching others to do the same.

Revelation 1​

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
 
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

There are some good teachings in the Book of Revelation also for our everyday lives

Such as:

Revelation 21:7,8
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Good stuff all Christians need to know, like only he that overcomes will be accepted by the Lord.
And being fearful is sinful behavior like the other sins listed here

Lots of Christians are living in fear these days and they need to over come that before it's too late for them.

I guess we lost track of the discussion, which began thusly:

If the reason academia, media and government are infected with the evil Marxist ideology is because
they have been brain-washed/blinded by college professors, then the solution is to__________.

Is anyone out there with the gift of logic (in this case if-then or cause-effect reasoning), who will complete the sentence?
Thanks.

The matter of facts is if then is out of our control. They aren't true Christians.
What we can control is ourselves, our small local church. If you can influence your local church, then you are getting closer to target.

Controlling ourselves and church is not getting us noticeably closer to solving the problem I cited. Why would it?
 
I want enough Christians to have enough wisdom taught by God to propose a solution to the problem I cited,
but so far on this thread we are still awaiting such.
You are welcome to propose something.

To me, the important part is within church. Within the believers.

Well, it is important for believers to be part of the solution instead of the problem,
which in this case is that of atheist professors indoctrinating students with Marxism,
who then work to destroy the blessings God has given US while apathetic Christians
fail to learn from the lesson of Esau.

The obvious solution is to require universities to hire as many Christian as atheist professors,
and allow the students to attend whose classes they prefer.

My preference would be to prosecute problematic professors for treason and fire those found guilty.

IOW, in the 1950s McCarthyism wasted its mandate when it chose to investigate actors instead of college bad actors.
 
If all Christians refuse to go to liberal school, that will help.

Just as we refuse to marry unbelievers.

Yes, that would help, but many students are not mature Christians who would boycott Marxist schools,
so governmental intervention along the lines of what I suggested is needed.

Hope/pray and work to make MAGA win the midterm elections!

I gave you the Lord's solution to the problem. The only way evil in this world will be stopped and resolved is when Jesus Christ returns and locks the devil up in hell along with all his followers.

You seem to think things can be fixed without the entire world submitting to the authority of the Lord Jesus... they cannot and will not, hide and watch.

The world will continue to get darker and darker and those seeking a "solution" from mankind will be bowing down to the anti-christ and his coming one world government taking the mark of the beast condemning themselves to spending eternity in hell. Sad.

Yes we should all be out talking to people about turning from their sin and accepting the Lord Jesus as their LORD and SAVIOR.

Are you out witnessing to people in your area? If not, you remain part of the problem.

You planning to take out some liberal professors?

The majority of these types are reprobate and will never accept the Gospel so unless they cease to continue living they will always be teaching others to serve the devil. You're not going to stop them, unless you take them out which is not something the Holy Spirit is leading anybody to do unless of course it's a self defense situation in which case let er rip tator chip!

I see so your solution is to legislate morality and FORCE people in to compliance.
That's right out of the bolshevik revolution playbook. The CCP would be proud of your ideas

Just so you know, very very few students would attend the Christian professor classes due to peer pressure to reject them so your "solution" is already failing before it even gets off the ground.



My preference would be to prosecute problematic professors for treason and fire those found guilty.

And when the liberals come in to power, and they will, then they will prosecute Christians and anyone else who supports the US Constitution (that they will outlaw by executive order) rather than supporting the bolshevik revolution playbook

The only way out of this is civil war and Americans don't have the stomach for that so they will settle for living under tyranny rather than do the only thing that will liberate the country, what the founding fathers did.

When we get right down to it, the world is going to come under the authority and control of a one world government and it's one world leader and you have no solution to stop it. God says in His Word this is what is going to happen and you're on the wrong path being entangled in the affairs of this life to the point that you apparently have put trying to save society before being an Ambassador for Christ our spreading the Gospel

Worrying and being in fear quickly morphs in to idolatry as those engaging in such are putting the things of this world before the Lord which is a form of idolatry.
 
In order to stop political speech you don't like in this country you will need to kill the The First Amendment to the United States Constitution that protects five fundamental freedoms: religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition.

That is your first step.
