The greatest threat to America, and indeed to the rest of the world, at this point in history, comes from the staunch advocates of right-wing ideology, and I must submit this warning to you: There is a grave problem with the far-right movement, in that; they seem to possess a distorted sense of entitlement. They’ve set themselves apart, and seem to think that their faith gives them the right to view the world from a platitude of conceit, through condescending eyes, and with a false sense of superiority. They believe themselves to be superior beings, with manifest destiny and some strange notion that God is on their side. A people with a desire to conquer, under the false guise of Christianity, seeking to dominate in the name of Christ, their view of humanity being reduced to nothing more than a matter of “us” and “them.”
What they fail to realize is; if the Christ you believe in leads you to view other humans as lesser beings, then you are a follower of the anti-Christ. The ugly truth is; God doesn’t have a religion, and God doesn’t discriminate. Any religion that professes to be the only true religion, or that they‘re unique in the eyes of God preaches false doctrine. If the Spirit of God is right with you, it will only be known by acts of “unconditional” love and charity. No religion can claim exclusive rights to God. He belongs to all that He has created, and to foster a belief in “us,” and “them” is to divide humanity, not unite it.
And so it will be, in The End, that those who have set themselves apart from their fellow man will find that they have set themselves apart from God. The worth of a soul will only be measured by how much it has loved, nothing more, nothing less. Woe to those who have taken the widow’s mite and built castles and empires in His name. They have incurred high accountability; their suffering will be eternal.
Even Jesus will not claim to be Christian, but will only proclaim the glory of the Father. And when He returns, they will shout: "Here we are Lord!" And He will respond: "I never knew you." They have forsaken the Word and have become prisoners of the Numbers.
Those who have put themselves first will be last.
