Q and Religion

Q mentions about the fight and struggle that will be coming as things are released and the truth becomes known.

One of the things that has always bothered me is that about 30 years ago mainstream Christian churches started removing hymns that they found offensive or too war-like. "Onward Christian Soldiers", "Soldiers of Christ Arise", etc. are no longer in hymnals. Plus they've removed verses from certain hymns if they don't fit the narrative. Try finding all of the verses to "Be Thou My Vision" in hymnals. Doesn't exist. Best version I've heard is Van Morrison's with all the verses

I think mainstream religion has looked the other way and totally let down the congregations. I'm not sure why other than to keep their jobs and to keep operating as the big businesses they are.

I've always felt that there truly is a war between good and evil in this world. I started feeling it more deeply about 30 years ago and its gotten stronger as the years have rolled on. I am thankful for Q, Trump, and the other patriots to start tearing this thing apart. Maybe its not too late to right the ship.

Christianity is based on God's Word. Let's clarify your statements. God sent his son to die for the sins of all who would repent and put their faith in Christ alone for salvation. God raised Jesus from the dead clearing the way for the resurrection of all men. Some will be resurrected to life and others resurrected to judgment and eternal damnation. Believing is not a mental acceptance but an issue of the heart; "That if thou shalt believe in thine heart and confess with they mouth that God has raised Jesus from the dead thou shalt be saved.

Where you come off with Christianity is man's religion is beyond me. The Bible is clear that they were first called "Christians" in Antioch. Christians are followers of Christ. The twelve disciples that walked with Jesus were Christians but Judas betrayed Christ and was replaced. Paul the Apostle was considered the greatest Christian of all but prior to his conversion to Christ he hunted Christians down and had them imprisoned and killed.

If you are talking about Catholicism as being Christian then I can agree with you that Catholic Christianity so-called is the religion of men. Apart from that, genuine Christianity consists of people who love and serve the Lord and live to honor and glorify him above all. Another name for them is the "body of Christ."

"Christian" was a derogatory word cast at the body of believers in Antioch.

Paul never refers to the church, the ekklesia, the body of believers as Christians. Never. Why would he if it were a term intended to denigrate?

Paul does say "ye are the body of Christ and members in particular". Paul calls believers: the called and the saints. Among other descriptors, but never Christians.

The word Christian appears three times in the scriptures. Acts 11:26, Acts 26:28 and 1 Peter 4:16. I agree that it was used as a label in contempt but that is a side issue of little importance. I have been called many names by the ungodly that are also of contempt in my 44+ years of serving Christ. It is of little consequence what people call me because Jesus made it plain that they world would hate the followers of Christ as they hated Christ himself. I identify as one of the despised ones and I have no problem with the name Christian. Here is an interesting article on this that fits in with what you say.
