MANY IN OUR COUNTRY HAVE LOST INTEREST IN CHRISTIANITY

they go in churches too

Don't cut yourself on all that edge over there. Hazel's comment was on topic about how America in general is losing interest in christianity. Try to be less condescending

Got it, we don't need to worry about pedophiles in the school system, what we should focus on is parents who call their children "kids".

This guy seems like he's just trolling and being contrary for no reason

Are Freemasons associated with any religious organizations or are they a religion itself. Is this the group many US presidents have identified with?

They are associated with the Jesuits and their are many of these Mega Church pastors and Teleevangelists who are freemason.

They give money to churches as a way to control them. They don't tell you what to preach, only what not to preach. This is why so many of these churches will not talk about the prophecies concerning the end of the age. FreeMasons teach that the Messiah will come, they will be presenting the AntiChrist as the Messiah and they want Christians to be ill informed.

Freemasons and Masons according to Wiki are one and the same. So it would seem the opponents to "Christianity' claim, according to Wiki, to accept a 'sort' of 'Christian' belief. So if your implication, regarding them 'insinuating' themselves in schools, is correct, the opposition to them is complicated due to the perception they are the ones advancing sound morals. A serious conundrum!

You have to believe in a "higher power" or "God" to be a FreeMason. So yes, there are many duped Christians, but it becomes clear after you rise a few levels in the organization that they are not teaching Christian doctrine. They say it is OK to commit adultery and fornication as long as you are not committing adultery with the wife of someone who is a FreeMason. When you get to the top levels you learn that the "god" you are worshipping is Satan.

What if the Freemasons aren't actually doing anything and they're just a bunch of old dudes sitting around playing checkers?

Bad situation for true Christians. Wiki does not describe Freemasonry itself as 'Christian'. Wiki records that membership in Freemasonry is not uniform. i.e. Some countries requirements are 'Christian' while most are not. Would the accoutrements of Freemasonry be observable with individual members? i.e. Some accessory indicating association?

Wiki article on Freemasonry is fairly extensive. Christians should read it and be aware of the implications.

This is a real surprise. At least for me.

Christian men, who were discouraged from joining the Freemasons by their Churches or who wanted a more religiocentric society, joined similar fraternal organisations, such as the Knights of Columbus and Knights of Peter Claver for Catholics, and the Loyal Orange Institution for Protestants,[143] although these fraternal organisations have been "organized in part on the style of and use many symbols of Freemasonry"

Whoa! Are you saying that they are now part of Biden's cabinet?

Was Johnny Cash interested in promoting himself or Christianity? Maybe he is before your time? Did he help or hinder Christianity?

Was Johnny Cash promoting himself or Christianity? You posted some 'dalliances' of his, but over the time of his career, did his work help keep some sense of Christianity within the 'world'? 'World' is used here, as he may have influenced worldwide.

I don't remember Johnny Cash ever doing or saying anything crazy so I don't guess he was doing any harm

A new dramatised Messiah purges the Christianity
Story by Ivan Hewett • 9h ago

Handel’s Messiah: The Live Experience, Theatre Royal Drury Lane ★★★☆☆
At first glance this could have been a “normal” performance of the world’s most popular oratorio, apart from the fact that it was taking place in the gilded splendour of a West End theatre. Packed onto the stage was the English Chamber Orchestra, and behind them rising up in serried ranks was the London Symphony Chorus, all in black.

But as the lights came down and the urgent, darkly serious overture began, normality disappeared. A tall screen placed squarely centre stage glowed with an image of a burning sun, soon obscured by threatening black asteroids, while three dancers flitted down the aisles. Normalcy seemed to return when tenor Nicky Spence appeared on the narrow strip of bare stage at the front to sing the beautifully consoling aria “Comfort Ye”. But the dancers soon reappeared, followed by two actors (Martina Laird and Arthur Darvill) dressed like refugees from a militaristic dystopia. Between the musical numbers they conversed in a poetic dialogue which suggested they were mother and child, separated by a malign fate.
This dramatised version of the Messiah was the brainchild of Classical Everywhere, dedicated to creating classical “experiences, not concerts” as its founder and the evening’s conductor Gregory Batsleer puts it. Working with him on this show was a whole army of video and lighting technicians, a choreographer, and a spoken-word poet (P Burton-Morgan), all brought together by Immersive Everywhere, the team behind hit immersive theatre shows such as Peaky Blinders: The Rise.
You might think a multimedia enhancing of the Messiah would clarify the work’s religious narrative, but the creators chose to avoid the Christian specifics and instead teased out their underlying themes. The dancers acted out little scenes of struggle, oppression and joyful release, strikingly choreographed by Tom Jackson Greaves, that you could just about link to the Biblical narrative of Christ’s sacrifice and miraculous resurrection. And it became clear that Christ’s relationship to his mother was being evoked by those dystopian figures.

That's because Christian churches have become lame, for lack of a better word.

The Biblical model of "church" is a group of people who have experienced the truth, the saving grace of Jesus Christ; who in turn make other disciples. Modern churches are torture chambers of the banal. You go for an hour, maybe two or three, have some kind of experience and return home (or the local Denny's). I can't think of anything more mind-numbing.

Churches are full of bored dead people. Why would anyone want that in their life? People who know the Lord and have experienced His salvation are excited to share with others and try to win them over to the Way. Then they get involved with church and the life is sucked right out of them. Dead people don't have life and can't share it with anyone.

The Lucky character in an episode of King of the Hill once said: "I don't go to church, church goes with me." I'm not holding up Luck as a good example of a Christian, but this one thing he said is priceless.

Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

This word assembling is only used twice in the Bible. The other time is a reference to the rapture and our gathering together to Jesus (2Thess 2:1). Our gatherings on earth are a rehearsal for our meeting in the air.
