The UN was established to prevent another worldwide conflict like WWII. So far, so good.

I know that dominionists have a certain direction they are seeking to take the United States. However, it is hard for me to reconcile "We the boss. Follow or be left behind" with the Spirit of Christ, who forsook his rights to bring peace. It seems to me that if our policy is always "America first," that isn't consistent with the Christ dominionists claim to serve.

One wonders why you chose a 'retread' like Urban Sombrero, when The Eveready Troll would have been so much more apropos. The UN, outside of US insistence, has done absolutely nothing to prevent any sort of war at all. They're a bunch of power hungry wannabes on the order of any borderline personality type. We should no more cede sovereignty over our laws and national defense to such bozos, anymore than we should over our personal checking account. Such stupidity from the secular perspective, is the zenith of liberal lunacy.

But now we get into matters which are significantly more weighty, that being practical spirituality. Christ forsook no rights to bring peace. This earth has rarely known peace, in fact, the specter of war has plagued man from his inception to what will soon be his earth shaking climax. And was it not the archangel Gabriel himself who spoke of Christ as being The Prince of Peace Who would come to earth in order to at last bring peace at the end of time?
[B]Daniel 8:25 (KJV) [/B]
25 And through his policy (an evil king under the power of antichrist) also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

Nowhere do the Scriptures suggest that God's people are meant to serve the heathen. We are, as were the Jews, to be a separate people. Sanctified to do God's work. The Old Testament example: beginning in Ezra Chapter 9, verse 1, we see the account of this very situation. Ezra a high priest of Israel, was still in Babylon getting ready to return to Jerusalem from the captivity. When he got word back that the Jewish people had 'blended' for lack of a better term, with the peoples of the land. He tore his clothes and plucked out his beard in despair. They were not called to blend, they and we are to remain separate, though accessible in order to hold up that high standard of Jesus Christ.

The New Testament example: 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV)
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

We are to be called out of the darkness which is the domain of men. The state of man is that they are fallen, separated from God because of their sin. In the same way we are to be separated from them, by virtue of our salvation. We cannot function as salt and light by blending. If we blend, all that is accomplished is to give the lost a reason to point to our own failings to honor Christ with our lives because we are no different than they.

As I have said, America was blessed because of a founding and an adherence to the things of God. Once we began to turn our backs on Him, He began to withdraw His blessing until as we see now, small out of the way towns are being sued by the ACLU for crosses on Christmas trees. Satan is behind such ridiculousness, and those of Christ should reject the cloak of dignity you would confer upon all those who pursue their father's business. Matthew 12:34 (KJV)
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
