CHRISTIANITY CONSIDERED A CULT
By Randy Loudenslager
For many in America or even Europe the thought that Christianity would be considered a threat to Western Democracies would seem preposterous. After claims by Jews of a major upswing of anti-Semitism in France and elsewhere in Europe, France's government has just passed laws that drastically confine the church in all of its various forms along with cults in their activities. No one seems to be immune to the new anti-cult laws. Among those reporting discrimination are Baptists, Evangelicals, Protestants and Charismatics.
The author of the law, Catherine Picard, speaks of her justification in terms of religion being a threat to national security. She refers to the majority of organizations, Christians and non-Christians, coming from America and speaks of the growth of churches as an invasion by America, looking to dominate Europe.
This kind of talk from France doesn't usually surprise many people considering France's zealous nationalistic tendencies. What is of concern is that China is meeting with French officials in order to investigate the possibility of modeling her future policies on the new French laws. A greater concern is the interest other European democracies have shown towards these new laws. France along with Germany are the European Union's largest power brokers and what they do will ultimately be repeated throughout the continent.
For Christians and Jews the writing is on the wall, with the exception of America there are no more safe havens of Christian/Judeo beliefs and practices. The faith that was the foundation of Europe's greatness is now viewed with suspicion and even contempt. In America as well we see the church giving ground to the new religion of tolerance.
We are witnessing the last stages of the political war being waged against the believers in God Almighty and his son Jesus Christ. When this political war concludes we will see the mechanisms of law in place to carry out the final conflict against the church. We will go from being threats to the state to enemies of the state. At that stage anything will go. Don't let your imaginations carry you away, there will still be church buildings filled with pseudo-believers. These pew warmers will have compromised their faith for security and will feel that their security will be from God. The final days will see these unfaithful killing true believers. Thinking they are pleasing God, they will not understand until it is too late that they truly will please their god, Satan.
