Golden Age of biblical principles?

How many times over the years have I refuted this stuff, folks? How many times will I have to continue driving the facts home?Jar and Frako, your examples are the usual strawmen. It weighs upon you or anyone else to cite New Testament evidence that the stuff you cited is NT (Christian) Biblical.Jar, over and over, for years, you and others here at EvC town have been refuted on this count that any of these Dark Age attrocities, perpetrated by the Romish non-Biblical Catholic bishops and popes were sanctioned in the NT or anything Christian Biblically. It makes one wonder why anyone, over the centuries would willingly ascribe to the non-Biblical doctrines of the RCC, given their bloody history, their relationships with the anti-semetic Nazis, etc.Obviously you are knowingly regurgitating strawmen which have been soundly refuted repeatedly over the years here at EvC.As for the OT scriptures, I have repeatedly cited the fact that the only Biblical carnage related to Israel and sanctioned by Jehovah was confined within one tiny nation, Israel, for the express purpose of Jehovah to establish a messianic kingdom for the future. The only time Israel, either then or now in modern times has ever struck beyond their Biblically designated borders was for defensive purposes and their own survival.

LoL, Doc. These actions perpetrated by these Protestant zealots were not Biblical NT sanctioned. They made the mistake of applying OT laws given by Jehovah to the tiny messianic nation of Israel to the new Christian dispensation of grace, mercy and salvation via the saving gospel of Jesus Christ.In the NT, the way Jesus dealt with things like adultery, etc, was to evangelize and convert via the regeneration of the indwelling Holy Spirit into the beings of men/mankind. It became the new Gentile dispensation. First off, the alleged golden age of NT Biblical principles was both regional and ideological. The Protestant Reformation, with all of it's faults began (I say began) to reform the Western block nations into NT Biblical principles. By the grace of God, the US of A became the most benevolent, productive, prosperous, and God blessed nation of free enterprise and personal freedom in history so long as the Biblical principles were honored, both in government and in the public sector.

I forgot to address the decline of the relative golden era in the last message, in addressing Dr Adequate's 2nd question. There has been some ebb and flow of this, but the decline began to escalate steadily after WWII, when the women left the homes as homekeepers, many of the fathers at war and two parents bringing up their children in Biblical principles, many of the homes being single parents via war deaths/disabilities and mothers emerging into the work place.In the early 1960s some things began to escalate the decline, one being the Hippie generation and another being the end of real value money which could be exchanged for silver at the local bank. This was global.This was when the calls for banning of freedom of religion in the perameters of all levels of government by athiests like Maddam Murry O'Hare, the emergence of gays from their closets, obsenity and depravity escalation in Hollywood, live-ins replacing marriage vows, decline of the Biblical male leadership role, in and the media moving into the homes via television, increasing surrender of national soverignty to the UN world body and ever expanding government regulations/size etc became ever louder and more prevalent.

What? Miniscule and short lived timeframe, by a few zealots compared to the millennium plus centuries of genocide by and other religious sects, not to mention that it was not NT Bibically sanctioned and the past century long genocide via secularistic non-religious totalitarian governments.

DA, it appears that Jar's MO of repeating answered questions is rubbing off on you. Sad.

Mmm, no, Dr Adequate, that's never been my position. During the golden age many were not Christians and many were outlaws etc, but it was an era when the Christian majority influenced the mindset of folks in power towards Christian Biblical principles.Thus, the US of A has long been regarded worldwide as the place to migrate to and the place where citizens of despotic nations risked their lives for escaping into. It has long been, also the most benevolent nation ever, sacrificing our best young men in wars, liberating the oppressed, without grabbing those nations and adding them to our, empire as Russia did, i.e the block of Communist nations, including East Germany in the last century.

The problem with the Civil Rights movement was it went to far towards the decline of freedom. Rights of employers and landlords were taken, employer requirements for minorities, women's rights, children rights and animal rights gay rights etc. All of these so called rights for designated classes infringed on the rights of others and increased government and bureacracy. School districts were required to buy buses for integration of students. Those are just to mention a few.As for the Bible, it's numerous prophets as well as Jesus and the apostles specify the end times relative to the corroborated signs which I've aluded to in other threads as a definite era of relative rapid decline culminating at Armageddon and the emergence of the prophesied messianic kingdom.

Dr. Adequate, you're adequacy level of debate is waning here in this message, decrying the escape of the oppressed people from Europe and GB, risking life and posessions for freedom in the Americas.Here's the deal. If you're serious, to be fair to whom you consider the oppressed, you need to find yourself an oppressed descendent of one of the tribes cited and hand over all you have to their nation; your land, because you think it belongs to them and your stuff for repatriation. You're being hypocritical claiming deed to land which IYO does not belong to you.If you care to open a thread on the topic which you're aluding to, I'll be happy to weigh in as to your inadequate position on this count.

No, Ecclesiates does not disagree with me. It's a strawman. Ecclesiates is not prophetic relative to the end time decline of the Golden Age. Your quote mined phrase does not relate to specific timelines like a declining golden age.
