I was going to add this as an update to the post of this morning, but it needs to stand alone. Sparticus on Christian Conservatives who feel, and do not think, and have forgotten that they are sinners saved by grace.

And it is a fearful thing to stand before the living God.

I’ve seen this repeatedly in Churchians. Their religion consists of equating “love” with “being nice”. It puts a premium on whatever makes them feel good emotionally; they are essentially emotional hedonists rather than physical ones.

Churchians can no more accept the concept of a God who is intolerant, or a Savior who does not save everyone (except, perhaps, for the intolerant), any more than an inveterate deviant can accept the concept of a God who considers sexual deviance to be abomination. It is not an accident that they are so easily subverted by the wolves in sheep’s clothing, who use the intolerance intrinsic in the concept of a fallen state of Man requiring salvation to deny the Cross, deny the Resurrection, deny Hell, and finally, deny Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Christ did not come to make us feel good, but to bear witness to God, the truth, to be condemned, to die in our place, and then to rise, so that we may through him be reconciled with God. If we reject him, he will reject us.

Like Gravity, disbelief is immaterial. Under the law we are all damned. And if you forget that, and consider your feelings your idol, then you are deceiving yourself.

For that I suggest you read some theology. Start with Lewis and Schaeffer, and go no later: instead go earlier, and earlier. This generation and this time is corrupt, and we are all tainted by this.

Be not a churchian. Be of Christ.

UPDATE.

When it comes to assimilation, bring not in the slave owner and slave maker. Bring in those who are rescued from oppression, not the oppressor.

Ask any ex muslim who lived in the middle east or africa what muslim assimilation is. They don’t assimilate. They take over and destroy like locusts. They lie and it’s part of their religion to lie to unbelievers. They kill and rape because it is a MANDATORY (jihad is one of the five pillars) part of their religion to kill and rape unbelievers. You are not inviting the poor into your countries you are omly inviting death into your countries.
