Hello, My name is Tom of Bradenton Florida, and I'm here out of curiosity of just how many REAL Christians are even left in this God forsaken country. I have been to various websites, Facebook, my own website, etc. I am seeking true Christian soldiers that understand Matthew 23, John 8:44, why it is Jesus took a whip in the Synagogue, and what has brought this country to the precipice before hell that we are now on. I was saved at 13, attended CCS, a Christian school, learned the books of the Bible by the time I was 8, grandfather a Methodist preacher. I've studied the KJV and feel it is the ONLY accurate translation of the Bible. I do not feel "all inclusive" with "Christian" religions...nor do I think Jesus was (many have my name on their lips) and Catholicism...well...no.
I have seen website after website after website touting the love of Jesus! Oh...ah, the forgiveness we receive from Jesus...and the love...love, love, love, love, love! That's great! But that salad bowl's only half full...and as devoid of sustenance as roughage, without repentance and hate...hate, yes...the other side of the coin.
Has everyone forgotten Proverbs 6:16?!:

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Hate...that's the word! Why does that strike a nerve with Christians...In John 2 when Jesus cleansed the temple...think he did that with love...or hate? I'd say he HATED that the Jews were making his Fathers house a "house of merchandise" not "loving" the act! (Of course he didn't hate the men) Hate is good...hate is rewarding...hate begins at home...with ourselves. We should hate the weakness we feel. We should hate the mammon we covet. We should hate fagotry (though not the man) or whatever form of sexual deviancy we find alluring...we should HATE it!!!
I glanced around on this site a little, saw a couple real sad signatures...like that "the Devil doesn't hate us"!!! Really!?! Now I know Jesus said the WORLD can not hate you...but nothing was ever said about the Devil not hating man...lol...wow!!! In fact, in Job he is likened to a roaring lion..."seeking who he may devour"
BTW...besides the Devil, know the only man compared to a lion in the Bible?!
Jacob...during Isaac's blessing! Do a search with something like Biblehub for the word "lion" (oh, and while your at it, look up "star of David"...isn't in there...maybe because it is the Star of Remphen...that's in there!)

Once upon a time, in a faraway place,
that now seems a light year from this land of disgrace.
Lived valor and honor and ethics and truth,
where lies and deceit were considered uncouth.
Where boys were boys and girls were girls,
we clutched on to our morals like valuable pearls.
We were happy and blessed by God from above,
We honored him daily, to fawn for his love.
Then came the ol’ Devil, he snuck right on in,
He molded this country in his own trashy bin.
He started with money, then the media and news,
Porno and movies, oh, there’s so much that he used!
As the decades went on, he chiseled away,
to conquer the good, and lead us astray.
God was so happy, when we first started out
Laid his hand on his Son and said, “That’s what you’re about!”
But as time went on, he lost all his zeal,
He wanted to deny it, but our betrayal was real.
We looked unto Mammon, and coveted our lusts,
we put our backs to God, and trampled his trust.
He sits now in heaven, sad and depressed,
He gave us his all, he gave us his best.
He ponders the time when he wipes the slate clean,
And what few that are his, in the clouds we’ll convene.
We muse at what happened to our once loving God,
We pray and we listen and we bow and we nod.
We shout and demand, “God, why aren’t you here!”
So loud is our voice that we never do hear
As he cries in the wind like a mournful Banshee,
“Why, my children, hast thou forsaken me?”

Hello Tom, I live in Clearwater, Florida. There are plenty of Christian soldiers here and I am ex-military as well. The KJV is actually a very popular topic here as well as Catholicism. As far a roughage is concerned there is plenty to be had in the Bible Discussion Forum. I believe that you're going to fit right in here. Glad to have you onboard with us. Welcome to CC.

Welcome to CC and nice to meet you. We know that Jesus said 'remember I told you these things must come to pass' Lk 21:9. Everything is going as God has ordained and yes things will get worse in the world, but better in the body of Christ. God bless!

Thanks friend...look forward to engaging in challenges concerning concept of scriptures, and being enlightened and offered various considerations of Dogma.

Thanks friend! I have always agreed with Paul, that save but to bare witness, I would be with him already!
And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
1John5:19

Thank you, and may I say you are a lovely young lady! I need to put my mugg up here as well...I'm not into all the covertness of "keyboard warriors" post and run, pseudonym junk. People tell me, "Oh you should be afraid of.." no, I shouldn't!

Welcome to CC. :) Your OP is much better suited for the Bible Discussion forum, where it belongs. :)

Welcome. The poem you posted is a tad bit bleak as well as containing scriptural errors. Good to know other people have been in the same mood though.

It sounds like a funeral dirge that I've heard in my spirit. Incredibly sad. I'm pretty sure it's a lie though. It's definitely good to reflect on the somber side but dwelling there too long can lead to this odd fatalistic headspace that doesn't seem to produce good fruit.

I do feel you on remaining to true with what the word says and not following after teachings that suit whatever fancy/vain imagination/fable tickles your ears for sure though.

Yes...thanks, its meant to be "bleak" so, I appreciate the ackowledgement. As far as the "scriptural error" I would agree, but was thrown in for dramatic affect (I know God never gave approval of what we did to the Native American's)...and THATS no lie!, so what your calling a lie, I have no idea...it's a poem, not a statement of fact!
"If you love me keep my commandments"...how can someone keep what they don't know?
