PROJECT 2025

[DavidTree]

The "good news", ie the gospel, seems to mean different things to different people. Before I comment further, have a listen to the following. Some of you may have heard this already...



There is so much truth in those lyrics, and it applies not only to the US. It's just as bad, if not worse in New Zealand, and heading that way fast in Australia. Britain, and Europe have their issues as well. There is a global crisis of immorality, godlessness, political narcissism, and ideological craziness. Particularly in the western world. Praise God for the great moving of the holy Spirit in places such as Africa and Asia where hundreds of thousands are being baptized.
The question however, what do we do about it in the west, particularly in the US where Christianity and politics can be so intertwined, is very much open to debate. The topics of Christian nationalism, Zionism, and the separation of church and state, are subjects often treated and discussed with much reluctance in the church, similarly to the reluctance of secular people to discussing politics and religion... Reason being that no-one seems to be able to talk about these things without losing tempers, abusing one another, and losing friends over it. So they shut up. The answer to the ills of our world as we all know, theoretically, is the gospel. Jesus and Him crucified. On that all Christians tend to agree.

How that plays out, and how the gospel is implemented, well, that's another story. I thought, perhaps naively, to dedicate a thread to discuss such matters, but surely we are all pondering on these things, whether it's over our coffee or our Bible, or both, the direction the world is heading is of great concern to anyone with half an eye open. I have mentioned several times on other sites PROJECT 2025. No-one it seems wants to talk about that. Why not? Or have you not heard of this? Would anyone like to discuss it? Is it good or bad? Basically, it is evangelicanism's answer to the nations need of a change of mind and heart in response to the current spiritual malaise and political antagonism toward Christianity in the US. THE QUESTION IS, is this the correct response? Very interested in people's thoughts on this.

i do not know anything about Project 2025.

This i do know = Matthew ch24 and 1 & 2nd Thessalonians and Revelation = PROJECT Eternal Life vs eternal Death

I read Project 2025 from the Heritage Foundation. Could this be Christian legalism on steroids for government? What about the Judeo-Christian principals that our government was founded on? I wonder how long will America's sinful stench of abortion, homosexuality, sexual abuse and transgender practices will challenge Adonai's continued mercy on us as a country?

Some governments have much better checks and balances than others. Until the 2nd coming of Christ, I can see no better governments than the ones we have in North America and Europe.

BTW, do you know anything about Project 2025?

Sorry. I missed this....

Just that it is promoted by the Heritage Foundation and seeks to reclassify federal employees as political appointments. Thusly giving the President absolute power over their position.

I do believe that Freedom of Speech that is found in our constitution is essential to a functional government. Other than this, I'm personally all for local governance.

I believe we are in a time where many things are going to change for humanity. Too many people crave power to the point of absolutely controlling one another. God separated the descendants of Seth and Cain and forbid them to seek control of one another. Those lines have been repeatedly "blurred" throughout human history as man as become increasingly devoid of God.

I have deep and sincere concern for humanity's future experience with the Gospel. True Christians are the most hated portion of humanity upon this earth. The "salt" is being cast out once again and trodden under the feet of evil men......
