Second American Revolution: Jay Grimstead (2 of 3)

Question: What can Christians begin to do from a practical standpoint to begin to rebuild their nation according to the standard of the Law of God? What would a Christian nation look like?

Jay Grimstead: God allowed our Coalition on Revival organization to bring theologians together from different theologies and sweep through 2000 years of Church theology and boil it down into a beaker -- into a fine white powder at the bottom. We came up with the 42 Articles On Christian Worldview. They are marvelous. It's a generic statement of faith for all denominations. We sent these 42 Articles to every denomination where we could get a central address. We received nothing but rave notices about how wonderful and, how comprehensive this is, and how it fits their denomination -- Lutheran, Episcopalian, Assemblies of God, Baptist, Presbyterian, and Independents. We left out areas like eschatology, baptism, church government, and modes of worship. We did not intentionally speak about those things.

What I am telling you is there is far more doctrinal unity potential than in every city than anybody knows about because of the 42 Articles. Everywhere I go, it blows people away because they didn't know they had so much in common with the Lutherans or the Assemblies of God or the Baptists.

You start with a group of serious Christians who are obedient and who are willing to die for the cause -- to die for Jesus, the brethren and the Truth. If we don't have that, we can't make headway in any century, but particularly at a crisis point in history like we have now -- the coming collision course between Christian philosophy and anti-Christian philosophy. We must have people willing for martyrdom and holy living.

Then there needs to be a number of committees in each city for the Christians involved in the arts, communications, law, economics, family counseling, medicine, etc. They must connect into a united spiritual army of Christians in every city. I am proposing that we find people to run for office and attempt -- systematically, professionally and constitutionally -- to capture the majority of seats in every state legislature, city council, county board of supervisors, the U.S. Congress, and then take the mayor, sheriff and governor seats.

We must be about the business of rebuilding civilization on the principles of the Bible. That would be our restatement of the Great Commission.

As a christian,believing that we can re-build our own society is the opposite of what the bible say's I wait for god's holy kingdom to desend from on high and set things right that we in our arrogence have made a mess of in the mean time while were waiting we should apply the holy teaching to better our on life's and the life's of those around us whatever your faith may be

So in the meantime we allow the society to go to hell in a handbasket while we hang on for the Second Coming?

Is that your view?

Learn godly relational government--limited but real sphere authority, peer relationships, justice, liberty, local self-government, federalism. constitutionalism (government by agreement). Apply to personal spheres. Get skilled. Then contribute to larger spheres. It takes effort! We obey, by faith, and God brings the increase in due season, saying "Well done good and faithful servant..."

Barry God gave you a mind, mouth,hands to use. Use them for his good. Get involved. Love ia an action word. ofcourse politics is part of that. Do you think the start of our country was apolitical?

NO PART OF THE WORLD

I doubt this guy would advocate that. To my knowledge, none of the Reconstructionists believe in jailing someone just for not being a Christian.

I would proudly give my life to prevent this country from establihing a religion. My ancestors gave their lives to prevent this sort of thing.

Dont kill for a cause only kill for your own life. Live your life for a cause and represent through virtue. Where would you place yourself if given any choice on a pyramid? You just never realized you had the choice.

What would a Christian America look Like? Simple. replace the word "Christian" with "Muslum" in this dialog and there you have it.

Clues:

1)"Christians who are obedient and who are willing to die for the cause "

2)"collision course between Christian philosophy and anti-Christian philosophy"

3)"rebuilding civilization on the principles of the Bible"

4)"people willing for martyrdom and holy living."

Hmmm, sounds a lot like....

Dudes got a cool Muslim beard, and beliefs, does he know his a Muslim?
