1-800-Dial-A-Dominionist –If you're concerned about the religious right dictating your life and politics, take note.

They claim that they are God's prophets and apostles. They claim that they have supernatural powers, can heal the sick and cast out demons. They march around through neighborhoods, blanketing the community with prayer. They claim that they can control hurricanes and natural disasters. And they claim that they are charged with transforming the entire world to their "kingdom."


hFor months now, we have been talking about Christian dominionism on the God Discussion podcast with author and expert Leah Burton, who is a frequent guest co-host on the show. Burton, who serves as a board member on the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, has been telling us about the dominionists' "7 Mountains Mandate," which envisions taking over the world so that souls can be "harvested" and Jesus Christ can come back and rule his "kingdom."

In an unusual move, leaders of Christian dominionism will be taking phone calls during a live webcast on October 4, offering us a chance to hear firsthand what's on their minds. We've been noticing that this type of extremism is becoming less secretive, but it is still not totally in the open. For those not familiar with Seven Mountain Theology and its infiltration into our society, we thought we'd touch on some highlights.

At first glance, these Christian dominionists appear to be an oddball fringe group with delusions of grandeur. It's easy to dismiss their influence as conspiracy theory until you start paying attention. We've been noticing that right wing political pundits such as Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee have openly endorsed the dominionist theology, calling for prayer and action over the "7 Mountains."

1. If you are concerned than you better not contribute to the election of religious conservative GOPs
Edited on Thu Sep-30-10 08:48 PM by stray cat
By not voting because you refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils. The conservative right knows better and always has -the enemy of my enemy is my friend

3. Why don't they knock on my door?
I've freaked out more than one religious nutjob with simple sleight-of-hand card tricks before.

4. it's live on the net tonight for anyone interested in what domionionists are up to...

It's impossible to track all of the dominionist activities and groups in one article because their movement is so pervasive. Rather than nitpick terminology, such as whether they are officially called New Apostolic Reformationists, reconstructionists, etc., we agree with Leah Burton that it's easier to just lump it all into one title: Christian Dominionism. Their goals are the same — to take over the "7 Mountains' of culture.

When it comes to understanding their line of thinking and goals, we have an opportunity to hear what they are up to from their own mouths and to ask them questions.

On Monday, October 4, from 6-9 p.m. Central Standard Time, the darlings of the Christian dominionist movement will "connect" with the public via a live webstream event hosted by Generals International: http://www.generals.org/events/upcoming-events/gi-connect/

Join Mike and Cindy Jacobs live for GI: Connect! This is your opportunity to connect to Generals International with any questions or comments. We will have phone lines open, or you can send us your question by clicking here. Mike and Cindy will be talking with their guests, Peter Wagner, Lance Wallnau, and Jerry Tuma, about current events and the economy.
