As we near the end, we know that the issue of religious freedom will take center stage. The battle will be world-wide, but centered in the United States, the land of liberty. America was a Protestant nation as testified to by its tolerance of other religions. Liberty of conscience is not valued by many "other" religions. If we look at many Islamic nations we see that they persecute those who convert to another religion. This is anathema to Protestant America.
With the immigration to the United States of those who were not Protestant, there has been a lowering of the education of the principles upon which America was founded. There is a strong hatred of the Constitution by some who would impose their worship upon all others. There is an attempt to remove free speech and to tear down the wall of separation between church and state. There is also a parallel movement to remove morality, Biblical truth, from the nation as witnessed by the Obama administration's success in rejecting Bible morality and codifying immorality.
Fox news has published an article entitled
America is not a "Christian" nation. It affords us an opportunity to better understand the battle we face which has now begun in earnest. The author of the article does not understand Bible truth, nor the Constitution of the United States. American citizen's rights to discuss religion, including those that are opposed to first amendments rights, is seen as something evil in this article. He wrote "Anti-Muslim rhetoric has grown particularly loud, and has been heard in places as geographically and politically distant as California and North Dakota." There is reason why there is a discussion about the religion of the Koran and the history of Islam. One only needs to consider how Islam conquered much of Arabia, Northern Africa, and portions of Europe. Americans have no desire to become like Saudi Arabia or Iran. And, Muslims who want to live in the U.S. are not at liberty to instill a practice which attempts to overthrow the U.S. Constitution and implement a religion that would enslave citizens of the United States. All immigrants to the United States need to swear allegiance to the Constitution or be denied citizenship. But, with the spread of immorality and the intense effort to overthrow the laws of the land, we find that there is little concern for what immigrants believe or the character of those who cross over the U.S. border.
There is an article of a different nature that enlightens the ignorant on the true nature of the
Separation of Church and State. It too affords us an opportunity to become better educated in regards to the battle before us. We already have been warned that we are not at liberty to speak against some religions that would attempt to remove our religious liberty. One of the most powerful leaders in the world recently gave us reason for concern when he said if a friend "says a swear word against my mother, then a punch awaits him." "One cannot provoke, one cannot insult other people's faith, one cannot make fun of faith."
Islam, the Counterfeit RevealedIt is time that we, as a people, understand the issue that will bring persecution upon God's church. We are granted a wonderful opportunity to teach the truth that America was founded as a Protestant nation. It is the Protestant principle of liberty of conscience that enabled America to spread Bible truth and freedom around the world. Those days have ended and the United States of America is no longer a Protestant nation, but will become the tool that will now attempt to bring the world in harmony with religious principles opposed to religious liberty.
