We are in a spiritual war. The darkness of the people that have taken over our government, media, entertainment and churches is obvious every day. Until Christians stop just trying to get along and stand up against this, the march to depravity will continue.

The Christian religious denominations and organizations are captured as well.

I remember no religious sect that fought the lockdowns and the "vaccines." The lockdowns kept everyone out of church for many months or even years. The shots are killing off members of the church. That's why pastors are officiating at so many more funerals in the last three years.

There was a church, (California of all places), that refused to close its doors. It faced stiff fines that accumulated for keeping the doors open. Recently, they won a court battle against those fines. But yes, most put the government before God. And they claim it was out of fear and trying to keep people safe. I guess they forgot that тАЬfaith drives out fearтАЭ, and what the early disciples faced if they were caught worshipping.

If enough of the churches - and their "leaders" - had pushed back (hard), much of what happened might not have happened.

The cowardice of my own Roman Catholic diocese was astounding. Not only closing the church doors, but suspending or outright refusing to provide the sacraments, especially Anointing of the Sick. My wife, who worked in a hospital and had all kinds of protective gear, tried to get special permission from our diocese to give communion and anointing of the sick to suffering/dying patients. The diocese didn't tell her "no," but "hell no" and "don't ask again."

Yes the Catholic Church including the Pope behaved very badly during COVID. I really lost respect for them as a group.

I agree bill. The secular world has been forcing their ways and views into our churches for a couple decades now. We left our church because of the nonsense of them trying to be appealing to those that believed differently. I believe in keeping doors open to them and allowing them to hear our teaching any time they want, but I donтАЩt agree with changing our beliefs, our interpretation of GodтАЩs word, just to appeal to them. ThatтАЩs where so many lost their way. It saddens me and we are still hunting for a church near where we live that holds to the truth in the Bible but does so with true humbleness and love, without compromising to avoid conflict with the world or community.

Agreed! 100%!

That would be Destiny Christian Center in Rocklin, CA. They held their ground and kept the faith.

That's the one I mentioned above! They provided religious exemption certificates to those who needed them to avoid the vaccines.

I remember that - which would be about 1-in-5,000 churches "fighting back."

What if 1-in-5 had fought back?

There was a very large church I know of near Sacramento that invited people, member or not, to go there and they would give a religious exemption to those who wanted it to avoid forced vaccination. My daughter got one.

There is a good short interview on the Daily Wire with Meagan Basham, who wrote "Shepherds for Sale", about not just church leader capitulation but actually suborning by Left-funded atheist groups (e.g. Soros founds a "Christians for Niceness" to inject social doctrines under the guise of church teaching).

Some churches held services outdoors and we arrested of course.

Important social movements can come out of the churches. For example, the Civil Rights movement came from MLK, Jr. and the black churches. (This movement started in Montgomery, Alabama where I lived for 10 years. On a daily basis, I drove by the church where it started.)

The colonists believed in "freedom of religion," which came from the churches and helped spur our break-up from the British Empire, which was getting a tad controlling and tyrannical.

So if Big Brother can keep the churches silent, he can probably do whatever he wants to do. Conversely, if millions of people in pulpits are mobilized, the Establishment has a problem.

Nothing seems to exemplify this better than the opening ceremony for the Olympics. Instead of focusing on athletics, it seems more of a satanic mockery of the Last Supper.

Why does everything have to be about debauchery and deviancy these days? God will not be mocked as I'm sure these people will soon find out.

It was a mockery of Christianity. Christians are the only religious group that are fair game. Did Paris forget what happened when cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo mocked the prophet Muhammed? 12 People were murdered.
