Unfortunately we have also been hearing here “down under” on the news about the terrible things that have been happening in the USA.
I don’t understand why they say the "nationalists " are blaming the Jews-I thought the issue was blacks vs whites-what do the Jews have to do with it?
Hi, Elena!

…because they are not “nationalists;” it’s the age old racism spewed from the white supremists… both Jews and Blacks are hated (as other non-Whites), yet the Jews are the “uniting” target (WW II) and are also targets of others (both from the religious fringes as from other nationalities).

It states:
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”

It doesn’t seem like there is anyone in this day and age who is claiming to be Christ so is this more referring to the past?
Also,who is the elect-is it priests and the Pope etc and if so,how can they be deceived or by whom?
MORE SO AND MORE EVIDENT THAN A VERY LONG TIME IN OUR RCC HISTORY, TO THOSE PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION:eek:

So what I am understanding is that everyone is stating that it doesn’t have to be an individual who is overtly claiming that they are Christ,but instead could just be individuals/situations which “seduce” people away from their Christian values?

If this is the case,then isn’t this prevalent everywhere and a “losing battle” in our celebrity obsessed society?
Celebrities are pretty much “worshipped” and I would find it difficult to name many female singers who don’t go the “hypersexualised” route.
Eg:Rhianna,Jennifer Lopez,Ariana Grande,Britney,Madonna,Selena Gomez,Katy Perry etc.
95% plus singers promote a hypersexualised image and try to “out sexy” each other because unfortunately this seems to get the person greater fame and popularity.
It is the same with female singers from my Slavic background -everything has to be sexy,sexy,sexy!
I’m even hesitant to think that it’s only younger women/girls that are influenced by this mindset,because while they might be “influenced” by Grande,many of Madonna or Chers fans are women in their 40’s.

Isn’t this a reality/losing battle though because most younger women-or maybe any women- are not going to be interested in a “tame Christian version” of music?
It seems to me like it is very easy to be in conflict between having Christian values vs being “seduced” by a world where the notion of fame/celebrity is worshipped and put on pedestal and singers or so-called celebrities are glorified/adored.
Hi, Elena!

…interestingly though, the Holy War is not about conquest, as in numbers… Jesus stated that there’s great joy in Heaven when a single sinner Converts (Turns to God); He also stated that Narrow is the Gate (Jesus) and hard the Road (Fellowship in Christ) that Leads to Salvation and few seek it!

Where do “Christians” Stand, for Jesus and against the world or against Jesus and embracing the world?.. it is an individual choice… but we are not alone!
