I am a Christian in the US. I also have degrees in history and literature, and my Ph.D. specialized in 17th century England, the place where Hawley’s so-called “inheritance of our fathers” originated. The US is not now and never has been a “Christian nation,” and the founders would have been horrified by that notion. Yes, many-though not all-of the founders were Christian, but they understood the notion of separating Church and state. These historical revisionists need to stop.
The USA was founded on religious freedom not Christianity. Religious freedom means ALL religions. I live in the southern U.S. and where commonly people firmly believe that the USA was founded as a Christian nation. There is a frightening lack of truth taught in southern education. Church here is fire and brimstone without an ounce of love to be found. Rev. Ed is my church
@@revedtrevors4961 Josh Hawley ran away. ("No!") Bravely ran away away. ("I didn't!") When MAGA reared it's ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled. ("I never!") Yes, brave Josh Hawley turned about And gallantly he chickened out. ("You're lying!") Swiftly taking to his feet, He beat a very brave retreat. Bravest of the brave, Josh Hawley!
Thomas Jefferson said: “when the American people adopted the establishment clause they built a “wall of separation between the church and state.” In our already great country, Josh Hawley is free to express his opinions about religion and morality from a campaign podium or a church pulpit. What he is not free to do is to legislate his faith above everyone else’s. No, sorry, that isn’t persecution. Our forefathers planted the seeds of greatness. Along with those seeds, they also planted, misogyny, slavery, callous violence toward indigenous people, greed, money worship, etc. Every generation of Americans has been tasked with pulling the weeds of racism, injustice, violence, and more. Our work is to leave the garden of our nation’s opportunities better than we found it, not try to make it just like it was 50 years ago.
The founding fathers did not want the government to tell people what to believe regarding religion. Escaping mandates to observe a specific religion is exactly why our nation was formed.
It won’t matter, even to him, soon! Christ Consciousness, simply is NOW…the door has been opened. Some will walk in, some will run! Blessings Padre…….you too know! Thank you for your support in these difficult times of transition!
He only cares to understand the maga voters and persuade them. He is wolf in sheep's clothing. If I were in Missouri I would vote for his opponent - can't remember his name right now but he IS a good man.
The amount of hypocrisy exhibited by people in power positions like Josh Hawley is truly staggering. People like Hawley operate from a position of privilege and manipulate people with fear, judgement and hatred. This is not a leader in any sense of the word. They CALL themselves Christians, but ignore the teachings of Christ and then judge others for not doing the same. Love God, Love your neighbour. Such a simple message and yet so difficult for some people to put into practice. I understand that. It can be difficult to love the unlovable, as neighbours often are. Yet, Christ never said it would be easy. In fact, he said the opposite. It's going to be hard. That doesn't mean it's not worth doing.
Josh Hawley, insurrectionist for God and country; hallelujah! Holy rollin' down the halls of congress: sleek, slick and sick; a real hunk of Missouri missionary man.
I rarely slip into sailor again myself....usually I bumped into the live stock fence or burned myself on the stove if I do. A few months ago I had a tooth root dug out...the pain meds didn't work well at all. Somehow I didn't slip into sailor. I know the struggle.
Life Flight timing during your video recording, was a sign from the HOLY SPIRIT that rescue is on the way to USA. Let's pray that it's not in form of Judgement like Book of Habakkuk !
I live in the southern states and what do you think about the 7 mountains line of preaching. And for some context my opinion of the 7 mountains is as low as it is possible to be in my humble opinion it is some kind of anti Jesus message of peace and mercy for all and if we really were a Christian values nation we would have free health care and free education through college and beyond to develop more doctors and scientists. And we would make sure everyone has a affordable housing
I live in Missouri and I certainly hope that Lucas Kunce can defeat Hawley. I've donated all that I can and put out the yard signs, Hawley is such a fake. I would say that he doesn't represent Missouri but I'd be lying about half the state.
Josh . . . Separation of Church and state. That is freedom of religion. With in each religion each faith decides who it will marry in its religious manner. But within the legal world of the United States because religion is also a legal Matter when it comes to rights within that everyone gets to decide the only limitation being no forcing marriage and no child marriage.
I tried to explain this to a Christian I know. They said that everyone is free to practice their religion even if Christianity is the governing religion...they are free to leave the country. Smh, that is not freedom. I wish America was a Christian nation run truly by Christ himself but, as it is, it's not. The constitution does not dictate that is should be and some people do not get this or they refuse to accept this.
A nation with that goal, if it were ever reached, would be Heaven on Earth.... Sadly, it isn't possible... God and Jesus say that they will GO prepare a place. It isn't going to be HERE.
@@libbycollins9349 true enough... Strive for Heaven instead of settling for hell. People like Hawley want to grab THEIR heaven by putting others through hell.
@@trappedinamerica7740 I didn't say we shouldn't try... What Jesus told us to do was to help OTHERS in this world, help them reach for Heaven. Our rewards are not here, but THERE.
@@trappedinamerica7740We were never PROMISED Heaven on earth... We are tasked with making things better for others. Our rewards are in Heaven, not here.
The Founding Fathers were Deists. Not Christians. So when some Christians say “See they use the word “God,”” the Founding Fathers were not referring to the Christian God but a God for all religions and all people. They specifically rejected the Bible as the word of God.
Would Josh recommend that South Africans re-ignite the "the inheritance of our fathers"? I suggest that he spend more time on developing a better future. Leave the past in the past.
Just remember.,..it's that "old time religion" is what killed Christ. A prime foundation of our country is freedom of religion. All good faiths have as their foundation love. 💖 🤗 My family....thanks.
If "we" had truly followed those beliefs we wouldn't have taken the continent from native people in the first place. Natuve people do better at following thise beliefs than the people who cane from elsewhere and took power
He ‘s taking about his whiteness, not Christianity. When he says Christian nationalism, he means white nationalism. They need to practice what they preach. & there is no perfect, supreme race. We were all created by God. The US was always an immigrant country from the beginning. This land has been blessed by God. & should be protected so their people to live free.
In today's language, one could say that Christ was crucified for being progressive. The conservatives of that time saw his teachings as a redirection of the traditional flow of money.
I'll never forget the footage of Josh Hawley running away from the insurrectionists on Jan 6---the insurrection HE helped to set up. He is so pathetically ignorant of the Gospel. I never listen to him
I'm a Kansas resident - I have watched his climb and power grab. He is so slick, he is slimy. He supported the Jan 6th rioters and then ran from them. That is Josh Hawley in a nutshell. As empty as they come.
That sounds wonderful. However, other humans with all their frailties would have to be involved. Seems to me that cultivating virtues in oneself would be required first. And therein lies the rub. Josh Hawley is not there, yet.
The phrase I use is fascism. And I use it as Mussolini described, a consolidation of corporate and government interests. When I talk about America, specifically, I refer to the ties to our federal government, and their national socialists. Of course, the Germans took eugenics from us. But PP gave it back calling it "women's rights". It's a trick of marketing the ruling class was taught by Freud's cousin. What I hope you understand, when I say you are siding with national socialists, it's not a personal attack.
All I can think of when it comes to Hawley is how he raised his fist in support of a parade of KKK members & then ran like crazy after trouble hit the Capitol Bldg that horrible J6 day. I try to avoid him because his line of malarkey angers me too much.
And you know the green the MV all the things you're talking about today Chinese version meant to teach people how to live add to it in a way that is mindful or woke is they want to call it

Thank you for the beautiful vision!

morning, all. I'd vote for that government. Thanks as always!
Christ is progressive, I believe that in my bones, to move in a way that only helps because the moves are made in love/care
Christ is LOVE, so are we. Soon LOVE will reign, many will run! Blessings, dear, of joy, health and love!
Thanks Rev Ed,,!! Josh Hawley is up for reelection and the Democrat running against him will win 👍💙... Thanks God Bless 🕊️
I've watched the Marine vet who is up against him interviewed. He's a good man. So happy he's ahead! 😊💙
