USA is the "greatest Christian super power of all time"
"Did Christ know of this North American Continent? ... Sure he did. Did He know this great nation would be Christian from its beginning? ... Of course he did. Is it possible that this nation, the greatest Christian super power of all time, known to Jesus Christ, was never mentioned, indicated, or foretold in the Bible?

Many Christians today have not been exposed to what our forefathers believed and understood. Whether through God's purposeful blindness or due to modern-day revisionists intense desire to rewrite our Christian American history, the fact remains, we have lost our true identity, our heritage, our Israel roots.

<>

"It would be wise for us who are living in these last days to take a closer look at the past generations of our great nation to relearn what they knew about America's critical role in Bible prophecy."

These last days? :scared:

1. Are They Kidding?
The Roman Empire was much more powerful in the 4th Century relative to the rest of the world.

These people are strange. They distribute a lot of Pentecostal material, but they also offer books on "Pyramidology." I wouldn't have thought those two would go together.

6. We WERE the most powerful. Until we opened the doors to China.
Even in 1981 people were starting to talk about China, though not often in the US except for "move more manufacturing over there. They're easier to exploit.:

2. See?
Do you people finally see that Christians plan to kill all life on this planet over a book and a dead man?! They are serious about ending all life to "prove" they are right! No one is safe. They do seriously believe it is their duty to kill life in every form for Jesus to return. Doesn't anyone care!

9. If all Christians (real or false) were wiped out tomorrow
the rest of the planet would still keep killing each other. In fact if the world were one big atheistic ball the atheists would start killing each other. That's what humanity is. Religion is merely a veneer; if you strip it away, the underlying murderer is still there, though perhaps it makes you feel better to believe otherwise.

3. I think the Mormons do interpret scripture to indicate N. Am.
I wish I could give you chapter and verse, but I can't. I think their use of these verses is to facilitate acceptance of the Book of Mormon.

4. The Book of Mormon says that the Native Americans rejected Christ...
...and so Jesus turned their skin red to punish them.

The Mormons have treated Native Americans in a way consistent with this doctrine.

And it wasn't until something like 5 years ago that the Mormons renounced their belief that Black people have dark skin because they're descended from Caine who killed Abel and bear the mark of his sin.

According to Mormon orthodoxy, if a Black person became Mormon and they were really, REALLY good their skin color would lighten and they might eventually get into Heaven.

This does nothing to explain Michael Jackson, unless molesting children is a "virtue" and unless God works through cosmetic surgery.

12. I do not think that's correct...
I've read it being interpreted that way, however. But I think the issue that goes deeper with the book of mormon is there are many references, that can be interpreted in different ways.

Not everyone's interpretation is the same, and the ones that are grossly off base, create a huge imbalance in our experience.

8. Christian super power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edited on Sat Jun-04-05 07:59 PM by SlavesandBulldozers
Muhahhahaha we are a Christian Super Power armed to the teeth with ICBM's, Christian ICBM's capable of bringing hell to earth.

We are a Christian Nation armed to the teeth, so that when we turn the other cheek we can still use gps guidance systems, and infrared locking to destroy all who oppose us! Christian GPS and Christian FLIR, people. See Jesus said turn the other cheek when in a fight, that way the enemy will be kept in the dark about the fact that you've placed a homing beacon nearby and there's about to be world of hurt coming down! Jesus was one hell of a tactician. That's Holy-Spirit power folks! Halleluja! Can I get an Amen?

And when you don the Armor of Faith, my brethren, let us not forget our m-16 with grenade launcher as Jesus instructed his disciples. Remember when Peter flat blasted that Roman centurion with a frag, and Jesus saw it and it was good.

10. Yup
We wage war on any nation that "might" have WMD technology.

Wouldn't want any ultra-religious fundamentalist nuts with nukes on our hands now would we?

That would be too much competition for us...

11. Our 'great empire' is a house of cards. Much less powerful than
the great empires of the past. Our entire structure is built on fraud and deception. We've "conquered" the world with loans and other monetary schemes. It's so very clever. The problem is that those measures will inevitably be unworkable in some areas, and the military goes in. That's the test of how powerful you are.

We've done that a few times recently. Vietnam and Iraq are both examples of it. Both went (or are going) horribly, and expose the limits of *real* American strength.

I don't think history is going to have much to say about our short-lived fraud-based empire.

14. Particularly when we spent the first 50 years of it
denying it even was an empire because that might have equated us with the 'evil empire' of the USSR.

It wasn't until the 1990s and especially after 2001 that all the neocon freakazoids came out of the closet and proclaimed the virtue and necessity of the expanding "global" US-centric empire.
