The Great Polarisation

[Matto]

The movement of people to the Left and Right is just a consequence of the spiritual movement either to the Left or Right.
God allows the separation to take place and people move to their value positions.

When Moses came down from the mountain carrying the Laws of God, the people were separated either side of the Law.

Those who would obey God's Laws and those who would not.

Those who obey Gods Law today, and those who want abortion, gay marriage, perversion and idolatry of the state.

When the people are thus divided it is the precursor to God acting in powerful and decisive way.

The separation of the people of Israel, the separation of the sheep from the goats, the separation of the wheat from the chaff. The position each man takes is the place he is judged.

There is a great chasm between the two sides. The division in politics is just a manifestation of the greater spiritual division. The fence sitters fall into the chasm first, there is no middle ground in this separation.

Now that is the Mariner I remember! Sure you have all the answers trolling the internet looking for a forum to judge others, acting as the repository of all truth, attacking pastors who preach differently then you believe and calling them "cowards" when they refuse to preach the way you think they should preach.

Yep, same old Mariner. You can't seem to write on a forum without eventually calling people names Matto.

You need to re-read your post Matto. I pulled the term "coward" out of your post, not out of thin air.

Christians disagree about homosexuality. You have one view other Christians have another. Christians disagree on ordination. Methodists have women clergy the Catholic Church doesn't. My church and your church baptize infants Baptists don't. My church and your church believe in sacraments, we have two, you have seven, Baptists have none.

Do you see what I'm driving at? You are calling people names who do not preach what you think they ought to preach. Rather than saying something like "I disagree with pastors who don't preach against X" you are saying "pastors who don't preach against X are cowards." It is a big difference.
