False Christians

The power of false Christians in America cannot be underestimated.  By building a base of "evangelicals", Bush has stolen two elections.  His supporters are a strange mixture of self-righteousness and unscrupulousness.  Their argument seems to be, as it always is, that the end justifies the means.  In other words, it's ok to tamper with the election process in myriad ways, lie to the public about any subject, murder innocents, gut the constitution- you all know the litany- as long as they stay in power and their guys are "re-elected".

 

The deeper explanation of this contradiction, between righteous talk and evil deeds, is the rapture cult.  Millions of Americans believe that we are living in the last days, that Jesus will return soon, and that the rules have changed because planet earth is to be abandoned by the faithful.  Whereas Jesus of the gospels preaches love and forgiveness, the returning Jesus will be bringing vengeance and destruction.  Whereas the test of faithfulness has always been justice, mercy and humility, now it is wealth, ruthlessness and arrogance.

 

Does the Bible say that the rules change in the last days?  No, it does not.  God does not change, and his law of love is the same now as it was 2000 years ago.

 

Your Kingdom is a Kingdom for all ages,
and Your dominion endures through all generations.

Psalm 145: 13
