    Is There Such a Thing As Christian Patriots?

    About this ebook

    It’s long been the attitude of many modern “Christian Patriots” to ‘Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.’ Is that really pleasing to God?

    Also, ask yourself, which are you better versed in – The Constitution and Bill of Rights, or the Word of God?

    Let’s dig into God’s Word for real answers directly from the Bible. I hope this essay inspires you to true ‘Godly Action’.

      Table of Contents

      God is on our Side!

      For God and Country!

      For God and Country Part 2

      Don’t Tread on Me!

      Romans 13 explained

      Americans MUST DEPART From their INIQUITY!

      God is on our Side!

      For there is no Partiality with God. God is no Respecter of Persons! (Rom2:11, Acts10:34)

      WHY Can’t God take Sides in our human conflicts? Specifically because He can show no Favoritism. He is not willing that ANY Perish, but ALL may come to Repentance. His Patience and Longsuffering is extended to everyone who will turn and live. (Rom2:4) The Heart of God is pleased with those who worship Him and DO what is Right. You cannot evoke His favor through devious means or Double-Minded ways. God cannot endorse human wars, political intrigue or self-exaltation.

      Man always attempts to use God as his leverage to influence the people toward evil ends. Patriotic fervor works well. God and Country must be defended against our common enemy. It’s always a battle of Good vs Evil. But is Doing Good inclusive of removing the tyrants from their thrones of power? Absolutely! That’s the ultimate outcome we all desire. However it’s in the Methods that we find ourselves at odds. The Weapons of our Warfare are NOT Carnal but Spiritual. (2Cor10:4-5) True followers of Christ CANNOT dispose of corrupt officials by force of arms. Many in the Church Systems throughout history have gone this route and met with the same failures as their ancient cohorts. Certainly God will ultimately Judge and further dispose of earthy despots and their regimes. But ONLY through the means HE has ordained. The Prophets were sent to expose corruption and sin, and to call people to a real Repentance proven by his deeds. In due course, as the hearts of men changed from Darkness to Light, from the Power of Satan to God, those in positions of authority Ceased to do evil and Learned to do good. Then they reproved the oppressor, defended the fatherless, pleaded for the Widow and sought Justice in the land. (Isa1:16-17) But the Root problem is SIN. From the least to the greatest, hearts that are in rebellion to God’s Truth. People must be turned from their iniquity and the evil of their doings. Otherwise there is no hope of real reform.

      Merely enlightening them to all the political corruption in the world will only inflame their base passions against the opposite paradigm. Such a conflict will not solve anything, only install another form of tyranny. Perhaps more benevolent at the outset, but infected with the same potential for deceit as the one overthrown. WHY? Because the Strongholds Remain. The Vain imaginations of the heart will STILL be exalted against God. Man cannot submit to a better form of Government unless he has first submitted himself in humble repentance to Christ. Need I remind you of the evil Kings of ancient Israel? God sent the Prophets to warn them, NOT to fight them.  Ultimately they were disposed and lost everything, but it was always as a result

      of their own disobedience. The Prophets never raised up an army of the disgruntled and marched against them.

      Today is no different. The Tyrants who lord over us will meet their demise, no doubt. They may indeed first gorge themselves in the Blood of the Saints. (It has happened many times in the past) There is no guarantee that the installation of the original Republic will prevent the onslaught. Religious deception is keeping MOST people in the dark concerning these things. In the end Christ will prevail, but it will NOT be like anyone expects. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness may be the highest form of human endeavor. But in Christ you are Called OUT of this World and Crucified with Him to the passions and desires of the flesh. To overcome evil with good you Must OBEY what God has said and begin with a Departure from iniquity. A Good tree cannot bare Bad fruit just as a Bad tree can’t bare Good fruit. Lay the Ax to the Root of the tree!

      Compromise breeds contempt of God’s Truth. Men speak guile and operate by deceitful
