Ro 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.
The vast majority of the people were Christian at the time. Christians are a generous people when it comes to ideas:
1Th 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
Paine said many good things. Not all he said is good. Christian faith is not blind belief, but trust in that which is known. It is a modern hostile invention which says otherwise.
Many Christians were pacifists and like today, believe we don't belong here but are destined for a higher reality. They left their homes to settle in America rather than fight the king. Only a small percentage waged war.
During the revolution, they see it as one of the many wars and rumors of wars that they would endure until Christ came.
The present calamities are designed to distract Christians and divert them into an imaginary war of good vs. evil (which elevates Satan to a co-equal to God) from the real battle which is the war between the flesh and God.
Ro 8:7 Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. [{the carnal … : Gr. the minding of the flesh }]
True Christians are not deflected. Yes. We can be involved in politics. Yes. We can hope for the best as our flesh would desire. But lacking a fear of death, ultimately a war between globalists and nationalist is still in God's hand, and we will be content with his will.
Suffering is a schoolmaster to teach the flesh that you are not a god. Gods don't suffer. We are in a perfect insane asylum were God created all things good, men who think they are gods choose good and evil for themselves, they cause pain suffering and death, reaping what they sow, and driving them back to God in the midst of the suffering they cause.
Yes. I hope for the plan to work. I have my popcorn. But God wins either way. He has never lost control. He does not need to wrest control from Satan. Even without Satan, men of the flesh are enemies of God.
The wars are blamed on Christians… but the American Revolution, and the French revolution were waged by 'reason-able men' who were enemies of God.
Since the time of Gutenberg, the Loyala Jesuits have undermined Christian teaching by elevating the 'reason' of man to deity. So yes. those ideas have made their way into all kinds of churches.
The core teaching is "Love your enemies" even as God so loved the world that while we were yet sinners; enemies of God, Christ died for us. We are but sojourners here. We're just passing through.
It is true that only the first communication is revelation, the rest is hearsay. But you are invited to get your own revelation in a verifiable way.
Sensus plenior is open to all. As is the 2ndBook, the hidden layer of the Bible.
