The fact that America and Canada were founded on a lot Masonic philosophy, reflects on who we are as a society.
Sorry Watcher, but I think you need to brush up on your history.

As I said the first three or four comments to the CP article itself was interesting.

We all know how generous you are, Jim. After all, the main reason you campaign for universal healthcare is that you desire to share your wealth with the less fortunate. So, which of the ten alternatives have you decided to participate in this year?

Of course you're not "in the mood" and annoyed, for the burden of proof is on *you,* yet you can't produce any evidence. Trying to shift it to me is ludicrous.😀

What philosophy? Give details (chapter and verse) and show how this affected concepts in our founding documents.

I still ask you, what difference did that make? Your claim sounds like

Leftists say we're a Racist State, certain Rightists say we are a Christian State, while others say we are a Masonic State. All simplistic, hasty generalizations.

I so, then what difference did that make? I say none; almost everyone who was educated in the 18th Century, including devout Puritans, was fed a rich diet of classical history in Grammar School, which has many examples of and discussion about Tyrannies, Monarchies, Democracies, and Republics, raw material for the Federalist Paper debates.

It isn't the Christian worldview that the United States is founded on, but the Masonic worldview, and of course there's quite a bit of overlap.

The United States was through the years more of a secular Masonic republic than a Christian one ❗

No Problem! Perhaps it is just the way you word things. Or the way I word things?

I am not a trouble maker and it's sad that those of you here on SA have painted me as such. My wife knows me and knows that I like to ask questions and to be clear on any subject. I am not a doormat, and believe it or not, I care about my fellow brothers and sisters. But it seems in this day and age, the default reaction of most is to get offended. I guess that's something I need to get used to as well.

***...but that doesn’t mean I have to like what He is doing or assist Him.***

This is the statement that irked me, and it should irk anyone who is a Christian. I am not trying to stir the pot or start an argument. All I am attempting to do is to get clarification as on the surface of your statement; it sounds like you are saying, "I do not agree with what God is doing on earth, so don't expect me to help Him or assist Him in any way."

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

BTW...yes, I did assist in Christ's crucifixion. I did it with my sin and rebellion. I was just as responsible as the Jews and Romans were on that day.

Thank you both...I strive to be this strong Christian man but in the end I am just fallen corrupt dust. I have always struggled with assurance. Just gotten real bad. I feel like I walked away from Christ. I really hope I don’t become a castaway. Demas walked away and that has always scared me.

I will be honest with everyone here. I have been struggling like crazy. I take my eyes off Christ and it drives me to a cigarette or another fleshly lust. If anyone is unprepared for persecution it’s me...

Add another notch to your self righteous belt Watcher, you love to ream others, the logs in your own eyes keep you from seeing how wicked you truly are. Only the Spirit of God can convict a sinner- no conviction, no confession. It's that simple. Sad you delight in belittling others, but that seems to be your hobby.
Yep, I am a sinner, not a 'superwoman'. Apparently your 'two cents' are the only ones that count right? You would argue with a sign post, especially if that sign post said you were wrong.
Until God lays you in the dust, you will never know true repentance and humility.It's telling how you and your buddies like to belittle others by claiming some do not know truth, or that they are yee haw fundy types, or that Americans are above correction and reproach- yet you and your buddies show no evidence you receive any correction. The question was asked, what are you trying to accomplish, other than playing the part of the Spirit in convicting according to what you deem as 'sin'. I believe sister MS summed it up nicely,...

Watcher, you might notice how Tim signs off on this convo, with mocking and scorning, designed to hurt and make me feel bad. This is what he does, instead of saying, "God bless you brother." So you are quite right to say he is an immature man, and a poor representative of Christ, claiming to be an ambassador of him, and professing faith.
The advice of Jesus to those who suffer persecution and hatred, from those who come on the forum merely to argue and upset, despite the fact that they are actually being loved and spoken to by God through his people, is most helpful.
Luke 6:23 KJV
(23)  Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
The Bible says we ought to edify one another, and exhort one another, and love one another. Tim says, "No chance!"

Here's a biblical principle that may be of help:
1Co 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
To the best of your ability, whatever your point may be; make your case from a biblical perspective. Defend your case from a biblical perspective if called to do so.
But...... leave the results to God.
You always get yourself into trouble because you are trying to do God's work....... convince.
Just saying.
