    One of my friends and I are as opposite politically as you can get, but we still love and enjoy each other. I still treat her with respect and dignity, and I take/make opportunities to have fun times and substantial conversations. It's because of this that she is slowly becoming more curious and positive about the Christian faith, and that is one of the most rewarding results of my treatment of her. I'm eager to see how much more she gravitated toward God and develops in character.

    United We Stand, Divided We Fall. I don't know why more people don't see the vision Andy talked about; that God created EACH & EVERY one of us out of His Love- & that we are ALL equally important. We don't have the right to enslave another person bc of skin color, & there's no room for hate in our hearts. We need to put our priorities in order before it's too late. Peace instead of violence, respect instead of hate, & Country before Political Parties. It's all we have to save our Nation from the evils of a madman who calls himself "the chosen one".

      Regarding "I don't know why more people don't see the vision Andy talked about": The need to be right is so strong and it often requires lot of painful insight to see how that works in your life. Then you have to admit to yourself that you've been self-centered and willful for quite some time, and a lot of people just don't want to go there. If it was easy Andy wouldn't have a job.

    What we as Christians need to remember is the Word of God at all times. Psalm 119:11says I have hidden your Word in my heart, that I might not sin against thee. Also remember Matthew 6:33 which says to seek Ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things will be added unto you. Always remember that God will provide, so that means that we don’t have to chose the wrong to get what we need. God says in Matthew 7:11 that if Ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Romans 8:35-39 says let nothing separate you from the love of God, not even principalities nor powers. Politics says there is a separation of church and state, so we as Christians should know better than that because scripture guides us through that. Sometimes politics wants us to stand and fight for what God says is unrighteousness and we have to know how to chose the right over the wrong. God is watching us. I will always put the gospel before politics. I left a party because I won’t stand or support anyone who has no fear or respect for the Word of God or Gods laws. I won’t follow anyone to the ditch with my eye wide open. Our prayer should be that our will will be like the wheel in the middle of the wheel, that wherever his will goes so will ours. As we go through these many trials and as I believe Gods wrath, we should pray Lord have mercy, yet let thy will be done because you know better than we do what you are trying to accomplish. Just help us to come to the knowledge, wisdom and understanding that you will for us that we may be delivered from your wrath and saved from our sin that we may not know of. Jesus prayed father forgive them for they know not what they do. He also said in Hosea 4:6 that my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Don’t just bring us out, bring us out a new, where old things have passed away, and all things have become new.

    The final hour- A man is one with his word and is only as good as his word, his word is his sword, his name carries his soul rather it be he a lie or it be he was true. Jesus died on his sword and it faced all four corners of the earth, he that was true became one with his sword and died by his word to carry the world. He was the King of kings Lord of lords! With a flaming (wooden) sword that killed no one the greatest sword fighter and teacher known to man. “You are one with your word the word is your sword and it is how you speak, kill no one and don’t use it unless you have to. Love it, learn it control it and most of all respect it” Jesus Christ back then, take it, the greatest sword fighter and teacher there was known to man and he refused to kill for anyone. Who’s your king? He taught you with the wooden sword. You live by the sword you die by the sword. By refusing to kill in the fight they scourged him gave him a crown of thorns and built him the biggest sword that he may carry up the mountain to be crucified on, it was the sword only a king could drawl.... his word. Jesus died because his God was his word, he died for what he believed, he believed in his word that it may be known. Love the lord your God with all your heart all your soul and all your mind. Sin for no man.
    10 commandments Explained
    1-thou shalt not have any other Gods before me (nothing comes before your ABC’s and 123’s)
    2-thou shalt not make unto the any graven images (don’t worship idols, statues and carvings they will not provide, your ABC’s and 123’s do, don’t let that confuse you)
    3- thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy Gods name in vain (only a fool hates to learn)
    4- remember the sabbath day, to keep it Holy (you will need time to put this all together in your head)
    5- honor thy father and thy mother (Happy parents lead a happy house hold)
    6- Thou shalt not murder (No one learns a lesson from the grave)
    7- thou shalt not commit adultery (a child with divided parents will become divided within)
    8- thou shalt not steal (when you get what you wanted you’ll find it’s not what you really want at all)
    9-Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor (it’s a lesson you can avoid)
    10- thou shalt not covet (What one sees isn’t always what it seems).
    God is the Word. The word -Word- is plural like Fish they are many. All the words you see before you are God you worship them they are the spirit. Father (ABC) son (abc) spirit (word) your faith is in the word, your prayer is to the word. That it will change.
    They learned to write every letter with the sword, big and small both hands! Then they learn to spell with the sword.....
    That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
    The thunder heard was the league of horses and angels coming for the son of man on the wooden sword they posted up. His students.
    Now give the shepherd his cane.

    I do know all things are possible with our God. And It’s possible I’m naive.
    What it sounds like Andy is saying is that it’s our Father’s heart for His followers to be “one” with and “love unconditionally” people who hate Him, reject Jesus, and proudly partake in evil things that deeply grieve Him. 🤔 What did I miss, or how could this be? 😕

    • @raykellysiler8759
      @raykellysiler8759 4 роки тому

      I would question this as a more politicized narrative than a universal truth. Party narratives want nothing more than to demonize the other party and convince people the other party is evil. He is talking about loving fellow Christians who love God and read the Bible but who see a bit differently than we do. And there is a reality that there are really bad policies and politicians that have truly bad intentions and debatably they might belong more in one party. But to think one party is bad and ours is good is lacking a sort of humility and instead saying that I am more informed and intelligent and more moral than the thousands of Christians who find themselves on the other side of the aisle. It’s more likely that we haven’t listened to other perspectives of Christians who disagree with us.
      I think this is what Andy is trying to say... we need to listen more to our fellow Christians on the other side than we do to the people who are solely trying to promote the party perspectives.

    Great sermon Andy as always. Sure the problem is fear and fear of loss, but loss of what? Prestige, privilege, power? What? I have an idea of what the fear is, but until White Christians identify the fear, the call to unity will not materialize. Trump enjoys a high approval rating among White Christians, despite of his excessive failures as president. Again the answer is clear. Apostle Peter was one of the greatest apostles, but he had this problem.

    The disciples NEVER engaged with politics....Jesus himself said, basically, just give to the government what belongs to them. All things are passing away....let God's judgement fall on this world and stop trying to make this disaster better, whether by political change, or any other. Noah did not spend his time on anything but preparing his ark. God told us what man's reign would look like and we are SO there. I have chosen my King....or he has chosen me. I want the King of Kings to rule and reign and for evil to be done. For man's reign to end. Come out from among them and BE YE SEPARATE. Our citizenship is in heaven....not America.

      Sadder yet... when the churches become competitive in trying to find ways to tell the people, not what they need to hear. But, what the people want to hear. 2 Timothy 4:3 - warns us of what we have been engulfed into in our day and age.
      " For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine.
      Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great
      number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear."
      Many have "unhitched" from sound doctrinal teachings. Its become like daddy telling little children nice stories so they can go to sleep.

      @@johnjumper7066 The Gospel is for bringing in the newborn believers. Trouble is when pastors use their personality to keep these believers babies for the rest of their life on earth. VERY FEW are able to teach sound doctrine today. Sadly, very few pastors can understand it themselves. Instead, "please their emotions"' is their gimmick cry. "If it offends them? - Unhitch from it!" Little children get killed in war when their are no adults there to protect them.... And, we are in spiritual warfare. Many will be looking at their beautiful resurrection feet when they go before the Lord. They will not be able to look at the Lord's face... "People pleasers."

  • @quickd.542

    Religion only divides us as it always has done since it has started. Religion creates prejudice over who serves the right God.
    Example:
    Christians vs catholic vs protestant vs orthodox ect. Also dividing us between facts of nature and fiction beliefs and writings in the (considered to be holy) "holy bible".
    The "evidence" on the discourse of dividing us on the truth is in the very beginning of the Christian bible, (a book). Of that of which an imaginary deity, (god) did not in fact create the earth and all the planets in our solar system. That which started the division of the people between the truth of facts and the "beliefs" of "religious ideologies" (beliefs are not facts) .
    Fact:
    In genesis 1 1-3, the bible describes that the imaginary deity (god) created the earth and the sun in a "geocentric" planetary order. Describing that the earth was created first with darkness, (earth without a sun present) on the face of the deep. Then on the third verse saying let there be light (light which comes from our sun) and there was light.
    That is "geocentric" (earth at the center of our solar system) formation, which was how early humans thought was the correct order of our planetary solar system.
    In fact "Claudius Ptolemaeus" built a working geocentric model of our solar system that enabled astronomers in that time to make accurate predictions of planetary positions and solar and lunar eclipses, promoting the acceptance of his view of the cosmos as geocentric and which was "consistent" with the scriptures of the bible.
    The model still exists today in Europe.
    However this "geocentric" theory of our solar system was incorrect.
    Evidence:
    Nicolaus Copernicus, formulated a "Heliocentric" model of our solar system that placed our sun rather than the earth at the center of our solar system.
    The church threatened to charge Copernicus with "heresy" if he published his discovery and facts of our heliocentric universe, (actually solar system, but back in early times they thought universe) because "heliocentric universe" contradicted the scriptures of the holy bible. 💯
    Fact:
    Years later, Galileo was sentenced by the church to home imprisonment for his publication on heliocentrism, and was considered by the church to be a "heretic". 💯
    All these facts can be found simply by, "Google" (Google Claudius Ptolemaeus, Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo sentenced, geocentric and heliocentric) or look through the "history books" if you don't trust Google as a fact source.
    Fact:
    I am not an "atheist" nor do I support, "atheism". 💯
    I am 💯% for the support of actual facts in life and the undeniable truth.
    These are the facts. I truly care about and support equality and peace without divides/division over religious beliefs, or which imaginary god/deity we should or shouldn't believe in. 💯
    Stop the madness and division.
    "Spirituality" over "religious denominations" that divides human kind.
