1 | Cristians are a no show in Culture War | Luke 17:3 | Sir Pent | 120844 | ||
Disagreement......................................................... Hi Pete2, I am confused why you don't think that Christians participate in the culture war. It seems to me that there are many Christians who are actively trying to shed light into the culture around them. The Salvation Army is a great example of a church that puts into practice the Christian beliefs of meeting the needs of the society around them. They are certainly not in a bubble :) The crisis pregnancy centers run by the Catholic church in cities across America are educating young mothers and helping them to have the support and supplies necessary for taking care of their babies. The Prison Fellowship ministry started by Chuck Colson has just recently been turning America's prisons around and greatly reducing recidivism (prisoners who go back to prison after release for more crimes). My local church currently shares around 50,000 dollars each year to support missionaries around the world who are sharing the message of Jesus Christ. Many of them are even from our church. Thousands of other churches are similarly involved. These are just a few examples of how Christians are indeed allowing God to use them to change the culture around them. |

2 | The culture war | Luke 17:3 | Pete2 | 120851 | ||
I hear ya, they are doing many things. I don't want to make light of that or offend the people who are involved. It is a selfless mission. Having said that, let me address the issues you raised to make my original point. The Catholic church does not have enough conviction to survive at this point. They have an internal pedifile problem, Ted Kinnedy, John Carrey and Tom Harkin who are all not only all pro choice, they are pro abortion and they are also all for third trimester abortion, yet they have not been thrown out. Prisons? True, there is only one way help a prisoner. Install a new set of morals. Yet our government lacks in that area so much, it would be misguided if they got involved. The churches no longer have the power needed to complete their mission. It starts in the schools where they are not allowed to talk about right and wrong unless its "non god" talk. The stuff that they conclude is amazing and baseless. They are training the future prisoners of America, but at least each and everyone will know how to put a condom on a banana. Many choose to live in a bubble and home school. When the good kids leave, only the bad kids are left and there is less interfereance in their path. I guess what I am saying that there are 4 times as many battles going on as are being met. Again, I appreciate those who are participating. |

3 | The culture war | Luke 17:3 | Ken John | 120857 | ||
Thanks for your clarification of what a culture war is. Jesus warns us in Scripture about the evil and tough times that will befall us humans on earth, not so ??? These are the beginnings of what Jesus told us to expect. Please read Matthew Chapters 23 to chapter 25 and you will have your answer. In Christ, Ken John |
