Alarm Bells for Christians

Brother Nathanael, Your piece sounds like the death knell it is intended to be. The alarm bells ring.
Hope has gasped its last.
The blackness of night has blocked out all that is bright.
‘A billionaire impersonates democracy’, you say. That thought ignited a thoughtful contemplation.
That possibility would eventuate as another nail in the coffin.
Here is one thing I discovered from Daily Caller:
‘We should remember that before he repackaged himself to enter the race for the GOP Presidential nomination, Trump was, in every respect, one of the elitist faction money powers mentioned above. He has only retooled his rhetoric as part of the effort to con disaffected GOP conservatives out of their votes.
‘But before he embarked on his “long con” he consulted the elitist faction’s liar-in-chief, Bill Clinton, who had successfully worked a similar game in respect of “conservative” Reagan Democrats to win the Democrat Party’s nomination for President in 1992.
‘Did Bill Clinton think he (Trump) could pull it off? Perhaps he did, since after their consultation, Trump went ahead.
‘However that may be, Trump’s fellow elitist faction money moguls kept their distance. Whether or not Trump convinced Clinton, they would wait and see how things developed.
‘So Trump moves ahead, without explaining his sudden and severely incredible conversions on issues like abortion, homosexual marriage and amnesty for illegal immigrants. He is counting on bonfires of emotion to distract from his true purpose, which thus remains hidden in the shadows. Yet now and again, some sign of it appears.
‘Rush Limbaugh notes that he’s no Ronald Reagan. Limbaugh and others point out that his poll numbers are inflated with potential crossovers from the Democrat Party. Now articles begin to appear suggesting that his peers among the elitist faction money powers are starting to consider how to place their bets.
‘Elections are, as Aristotle noticed long ago, an effectively aristocratic institution. But if they are to serve their aristocratic purpose, voters must choose in light of a true standard of better and best.
‘America’s Founders counted on the fact that Christianity’s true moral ethos, prevalent among voters in the new United States, would provide it. ‘All the way up to and through the Civil War, and during the period of westward expansion and economic development that followed it, America’s history seemed bent on proving their faith justified.
‘But during the 20th Century that changed. Christians allowed a specious understanding of empirical science to get away with asserting that science and the Christian religion stand somehow opposed to one another.
‘They therefore retreated from the premise of Creation, crucial to the logic of rights set for in the Declaration of Independence. But confident Christian faith was the first foundation for the ideas of right and justice on which America’s experiment with decent human self-government were founded.
‘Therefore, as Christians retreated, that experiment commenced to fail. Will 2016 be the year in which that process ends, confirming America’s final turn to oligarchic tyranny?”

Christianity has lost the war.
A battle began to be engaged against it by the Jews, a very long time ago.
Christians absorbed tendencies of other faiths, even falling captive to all the evil, gushing stream of PAGAN VALUES poured their way --not the people of God.
Many are running to and fro, often in a frenzy of religious froth and bubble.
Christians need to turn fully to the New Testament injunctions.
Let us remember the solemn warning of St. Peter:
‘Judgment begins at the house of God and if it begins there what shall be the end of those who do not believe the Gospel’.
