What do Ron Parsley and John McCain have in common? They both see grave danger in Islam to the world. Obviously for Ron Parsley the number one criteria for being a conservative is to be against Islam.
We have here a religious leader and a political leader that would be more than willing to lead a military fight against Islam all over the world. Sure, that might be what it ultimately comes down to anyway, but do you really want the U.S. to actually promote this war? Need I explain the impact that a world war would have on our civil liberties and standards of living?
Is the U.S. really a Christian nation created to defeat Islam like Ron Parsley claims? Are we really on such high moral ground that we can go into the lion’s den without getting burned?
McCain sees the U.S. as the leader of a globalist western new world order and Ron Parsley sees the U.S. as the moral leader of the world that will advance his own dominionist views. That is an extremely dangerous combination.
Well meaning but presumptuous Christians could actually start the very war that will brings in the Beast that will turn on them and devour them.
The Bible tells Christians to try to live in peace with all people. When we start using carnal weapons to advance the kingdom we will lose the battle. We are not going to convert Islam to Christianity by promoting bloody campaigns against Islam. All it will do is to bring even greater death and destruction all over the world. I assure you after the world has had enough of religious wars they will come after those who instigated it.
Remember, Revelation tells us the Beast world government will turn on the religious Harlot that rode it into power and burn her with fire.
I tend to find McCain to be dangerous to start with because with his worldview he may get us in more wars but I could be wrong. But, team him up with extreme religious reactionaries who think that they are the leaders of a movement to take the world for some presumptuous religious kingdom on earth and the combination is explosive.
The best thing we can do with Islam is to to step back and let the different factions within it destroy each other. We certainly are not going to physically concur Islam without creating a worse Beast.
McCain’s Spiritual Guide: Destroy Islam
Senator John McCain hailed as a spiritual adviser an Ohio megachurch pastor who has called upon Christians to wage a “war” against the “false religion” of Islam with the aim of destroying it.On February 26, McCain appeared at a campaign rally in Cincinnati with the Reverend Rod Parsley of the World Harvest Church of Columbus, a supersize Pentecostal institution that features a 5,200-seat sanctuary, a television studio (where Parsley tapes a weekly show), and a 122,000-square-foot Ministry Activity Center. That day, a week before the Ohio primary, Parsley praised the Republican presidential front-runner as a “strong, true, consistent conservative.”
Somebody in this country has to stand up for the truth and Ron Parsley has done this…And this country still is under God’s control, regardless of the lies the media has spread….We should support Ron Parsley and line up with him if he has found a man that will hear God in this election…This Obama stuff has gone to far , way out of control and someone has to stand against this madness…….There is only one truth , that is Jesus and Ron has no problem teaching that…..
Ron Parsley’s truth is not necessarily the truth. He is generally right about what is wrong but he is often wrong about what is right. Parsley believes in Dominion Theology and he would just love to influence government to take the world for his Word of Faith Christ. Do you really want to live under the control of world religion under fallible men? Pseudo-Christianity has tried running the world before it was called the Holy Roman Empire. The world will not be taken for Christ until Jesus Christ physically comes and takes it for Himself. When He does he will not need Ron Parsley’s help.
Also what makes you think that McCain hears from God? Even worse, what makes Ron Parsley think McCain hears from God? It sure is not McCain’s Christian confessions or his moral positions.
The main agreement they have is the defeat of radical Islam. However, they have entirely different reasons for it. McCain believes Fundamentalists must be defeated for a secular global world order and Parsley believes all Islam must be defeated in order to conquer the world for Christianity. What makes you think that McCain would not also support laws against fundamental Christianity? That would include Parsley and Word of Faith so they are very strange bed fellows indeed. Like I said, it is quite like the woman who rides the Beast of Revelation who is then devoured by the Beast she rode in on.
Ron teaches Jesus but he adds or reads into the gospel doctrines that conflict with it. So perhaps it is a different gospel and perhaps it is a different Jesus.
I will continue to stand by what I said here.
