This article is not at all honest about Dominion Theology. Any deceptive person can pick just the good apples and place it on top of a basket of rotten apples and sell the whole basket to someone as if it were all good. It was not too long ago that the Catholic Church did exactly that. They had Christian Dominion theology in practice. Remember the Inquisitions that followed? <\/strong>
\n <\/strong>
\nWho is going to define what the values and practices of Christianity are in your modern new Christian world? The Pope, Baptists, UCC, Mormons, Masons, Rick Warren’s Global Peace Plan, the Christian Patriot Movement, Robert Schuller, Oprah’s Secret, Jimmy Carter, Benny Hinn, George Bush, Rodney Howard Brown, Ron Paul, John and Paul White, Ted Haggard, the KKK? Just who did you have in mind?<\/strong><\/p>\n

True Christianity has always been a small segment of even those who identify themselves as Christians. So it this tiny minority in the world now going to make a overwhelmingly evil world conform to biblical law through politics? Get real! <\/strong>
\n <\/strong>
\nIf anyone wants to know more about Dominion Theology they can read my rather long article on the subject.
\n<\/strong>https:\/\/www.thepropheticyears.com\/comments\/The%20woman%20on%20the%20beast%20in%20end%20time%20prophecy%20has%20dominion%20theology.htm<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I for one get tired of reading articles from “American patriots” that wrap their Dominion Theology beliefs in Biblical clothing and then bad mouth those who are carrying out the great commission, God’s way. <\/strong>
\n<\/strong>
\nThey equate a past and future America with the promised land as if somehow we are going to be there by just returning to the US Constitution through politics, force or both. America never was the promised land and it never will be.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sure Christians should take part in the political process in their nations and most do. We do so because we know it is to our benefit to have noble leaders who will not hinder us in our commission. However, we are not under some delusional that we are going to make any nation a Christian nation through politics. There is only one way anyone will become a Christian and that is by hearing the Word of God and believing it. Our commission from God is to preach the “good news” not to continually flame those we might disagree with. These people run the Bible up the flag pole along with the American flag and play their own anthem “God Bless – American Pie”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Link to this article is now broken.<\/p>\n

worldNetDaily<\/span>: Should Christianity, politics mix?: “He’s not the only pastor with serious reservations about Christians in politics. Rev. Mel White, the former ghostwriter of the late Jerry Falwell’s autobiography and now an ex-Evangelical, is also deeply troubled by Christians in the public square.<\/p>\n

Seaking<\/span> to RollingStone<\/span> Magazine, White said: When most people hear\u2026 talk about a ‘Christian nation’ they think, ‘Well, that sounds like a good, moral thing.’ What they don’t know\u2026 is that ‘Christian nation’ means something else entirely to these dominionist<\/span> leaders.
