I totally get abandoning the sins of the left. Immorality, abandonment of personal responsibility, enablement of the lazy, abortion, a/poly-theism... No, Christians shouldn't have anything to do with those, they're against Biblical principals. And Jehovah God Himself.
But there's this lie, this deception, this mindset that if you abandon one side, you MUST embrace the other side. It's the American way. It's one or the other.
And to embrace the right, one must turn a blind eye to their equally egregious sins. Mammon worship. Self idolatry. Greed. Cheating workers. Abandonment of the sick and poor. Lies and deceit. Those aren’t Biblical principals either.
And if you don't discern the sins of the right, then maybe you my friend need to pray with a more open mind.
But what concerns me is that only one of these two sides couches their actions as being "of God". And as such they are the more deceptive, because they are fooling the faithful and deceiving them. And leading them from the Truth.
This country will fall to the antichrist. God proclaimed it. An no one on the left OR right is going to change that. They are all leading us down the merry path to tribulation.
And anyone who follows them - left or right - is being being deceived and led astray.
Firstly, there is NO RIGHT, we conservatives are God-fearing, for the most part, down the middle citizenry in the exact same place/mindset as the Forefathers/Framers of the Constitution. The FAR LEFT gets people like you, and others to use the word RIGHT and they have won the day, yes, we are RIGHT of those Commie Marxists I GUESS, but we are not RIGHT WINGERS which the word you use is meant to connotate, which is why they use it. They know if they can get people (like you) to use the word RIGH that they can smear conservatives as Right-Wing Fanatics, when we are down the middle, God-fearing, nation loving, law-abiding citizens, but they win the day by brainwashing people to us THEIR VOCABULARY. LOL
By the way, your whole premise of Matt. 24 is in error. The ELECT Jesus is speaking about here are the Elect Jews who come unto Christ Jesus AFTER the Rapture. And if you reread the passage Jesus is saying just ten opposite of what you surmise, he's basically saying that it will ve IMPOSSIBLE for these Elect t be deceived, BECAUSE I have told them BEFORE[HAND] what is going to happen. WATCH
Matt. 24:24 For there shall arise
false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that,
if it were possible,(meaning it is NOT POSSIBLE) they shall deceive the very elect. 25
Behold, I have told you before[hand].
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you,
Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Why is it NOT POSSIBLE to deceive the end-time Jews who repent? Because Elijah and Moses (Two-witnesses) will have told them all they need to know, and the above is one of their lessons, they tell them. Hey guys, when you get to Petra and hear that Jesus/Messiah is in the Desert, or in the Secret Store Room somewhere, just
cool:
) remember what Jesus said, NO........That is not me, I will be coming in the EASTERN SKIES for all men to see !! BOOM
So, your whole premise is off kilter to start with, no elect can get deceived. The Church is in Heaven, and Jesus told everyone elsewhere to look for him. Thus as Jesus said, IF IT WERE POSSIBLE (Meaning it is not possible to deceive the Elect because they understand that Jesus will come from the Eastern Skies)
