I think it is because I was applying Lollord philosophy against today's troubles with church and state.<BR/>Jimjeleasurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07573831215568628361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096670002191538774.post-80798588693422779762008-07-17T09:18:00.000-04:002008-07-17T09:18:00.000-04:00Jim,By the way, will you consider putting "Journal...Jim,<BR/><BR/><I>By the way, will you consider putting "Journaling For Growth" on your Favorite Sites.</I><BR/><BR/>Done.

Jeff, I read about the Lollord's.Honestly, I...O.K. Jeff,<BR/> I read about the Lollord's.<BR/>Honestly, I do not know what to say. <BR/> On one hand, corruption is a possibility. However, how has the church stopped Government from being corrupt? We are slowly losing our rights. The Government in this country is allowing society to push adversity at Christianity. Children are not allowed to pray aloud in school dining halls. They are being told they can not speak of Jesus, God and Christianity. The Government is going to support the homosexual agenda. As soon as those church congregassions who have "progressive" members vs. Evangelical members can, they will demand the ministry use a black highlighter and never speak of homosexuality. They may even commission their own Bible to be printed and used in their churches. Four percent of people who call themselves Christians are encouraging the homosexual agenda and wining.<BR/><BR/> On the other hand, I don't agree that Wycliff had a misunderstanding of the Gospel. Are Christians supposed to completely refrain from encourageing Government? If that were the case, as it nearly is here in the States, Government would silence the Christian's ability to voice what God desires. A nation whose God is the Lord is blessed of Him.jeleasurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07573831215568628361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096670002191538774.post-28802142439333898772008-07-16T06:28:00.000-04:002008-07-16T06:28:00.000-04:00Hey Jeff, I do not seem to have a lot of time the...Hey Jeff,<BR/> I do not seem to have a lot of time these past days. I had to get a fresh post on my blog. So, yesterday I spent about five hours on an idea and turned out a new item.<BR/><BR/> You have put so much material out in the last few days, I can't keep up. I'll read some this evening.<BR/><BR/> By the way, will you consider putting "Journaling For Growth" on your Favorite Sites. I have your "Thoughts and Theology" on all three of mine. And, even though I am marketing "Love One Another", "Journaling For Growth" is my way of keeping "Love One Another" recent.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, <BR/>Jimjeleasurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07573831215568628361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096670002191538774.post-87369854511633992672008-07-16T03:40:00.000-04:002008-07-16T03:40:00.000-04:00In fact, within a few decades, the crown and the C...<EM>In fact, within a few decades, the crown and the Catholic Church united in an attempt to completely eradicate the Lollards.</EM><BR/><BR/>This type of reaction is why Christians should never want a theocracy in existence in the West, unless it is without a doubt ruled by Christ and his culminated Kingdom with his resurrected saints. Critics of Christianity that think most Christians want a theocracy in the current age sometimes fail to realize that many Biblical Christians would certainly end up being persecuted and even killed under a theocracy. This is because that with a very tight church/state, the political system inevitably ends up corrupting church doctrine and practice and those who disobey the church are considered to be disobeying the state in treason.<BR/><BR/>Russ:) <BR/><BR/>Fideism?
