It’s Memorial Day (celebrated holiday in the not-so-united States).
Flags for freedom flown for feasting leaders of the free world or drawn to half staff for some politically offensive act of violence by an ungodly man.
Hardly a memorial to any who have died for the freedom of any man or woman who suffers the ravages of war and injustice in an evil world of the year of our Lord 2022.
Therefore, claimer of Christ, communicant of the Church, Evangelical Patriot who claims the crusade of christian UNDER GOD, it must be US who have failed in our pursuit of freedom, liberty and most of all righteousness as an example to our fellow man (that is, creating being in the image of the Lord God).
Letter of Paul to the Church at Galatia (1st c. A.D.)
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
Galatians 5:1 NKJV
A Question to ‘christians’
I ask YOU,
- ‘evangelical christian’
- roman catholic
- orthodox christ claimant
- liberal tolerant lover of anyone of the world
I ask you the same question as Paul asked the Jews in first century Galatia:
For once YOU ran well.
Who hindered you from obeying the truth?
Galatians 5:7 NKJV
Paul speaks to the Jews of his day, but his question about freedom applies to US, WE THE PEOPLE who use GOD and claim CHRIST in those times when it is most politically expedient to claim TRUTH.
The Truth of Freedom
Although men and women may fight for it, be maimed by it, flee from it and even die for it; liberty and freedom have little to do with ever-changing currents of political action in places of providential blessing or demonic deference to rule of some despot.
God in Christ Jesus calls any who would run this race of mortal – yes MORTAL, not immortal LIFE – to not again be yoked in the slavery of sin.
For you were called to be free, brothers and sisters; only don’t use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love.
Galatians 5:13 Christian Standard Bible
For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement:
Love your neighbor as yourself.
But if you bite and devour one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.
Galatians 5:15 CSB
Are WE THE PEOPLE truly ‘ONE NATION under god’ in the Common Era of error led by sinful man recreating US in the image of resconstructed truth?
Roger@TalkofJESUS.com
Do WE THE PEOPLE truly believe, in A.D. [the year of our Lord] 2022:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,
- all men are created..
- that certain ‘rights’ are endowed by their Creator
- That the ‘Bill of Rights’ forbids Congress from both promoting one religion over others NOT promoting FREEDOM FROM RELIGION?
The basis of law is the LAW of God.
A CLAIM under GOD.
WE THE PEOPLE may not memorialize evil as we no longer as a NATION stand faithful anymore than ISRAEL could still claim covenant which they broke long before the REDEMPTION by CHRIST JESUS, the Son of GOD WHO was and IS and will judge all men.
Orthodox? Catholic? Evangelical?
As in Galatia, our CLAIM to Christ is not enough.
Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, moral impurity, promiscuity, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and anything similar.
I am warning you about these things — as I warned you before — that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:19-21 CSB
24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.
Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
Thank God Almighty that we are FREE — FREE at last in Christ Jesus.
“Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?
