What causes people to purchase by politics is when CEO’s begin to voice their political and moral views to the public. Especially when the views they express are some of the most controversial topics in the country that serves as add fuel to the ongoing struggle of conservatives against liberals.

This is social engineering at work. Its purpose is to harvest the population of the country into political groups that will fight against each other through the process of political campaigning.
The problem with social engineering is its invasion of the church, through corrupt pastors, and pseudo Christian media personalities, such as Glenn Beck, David Barton, Pat Robertson, Al Sharpton, James Robison, and many others, who promote a false gospel that claims that Jesus wants his church to reclaim the country in his name. Click on the provided links to learn more – “Evangelicals Hosting Ecumenical Conference in Conjunction With Glenn Beck Event” This is the social gospel that does not bring peoples’ attention to their need to be reconciled to God, and saved from the wrath of God. Instead, it deceives people into thinking that this world is theirs to have, that they can make this world better in Christ’s name, and that Christ is not going to judge the world in righteousness, and destroy this world’s system, or at least cause them to forget that he will. The social gospel leads people away from Christ, and encourages them to love this world’s system. It teaches people that they can claim the world and not lose their soul, and that God wants them to have life, liberty, and happiness. These are all lies and deception, and they are for the purpose of redefining the gospel, so that Christians will rally behind, social gospel, false Christian leaders, who will tell them who to vote for.
The Christian conservatives are being led astray by the social gospel. One of the many proofs of their state of deception is their new found love for “Chick Fil A”, and it’s founder, who recently has joined their ongoing war against the liberal agenda to change the nation’s definition of marriage. This love for Chick Fil A is not based upon the founder’s love for Jesus Christ, and his gospel of salvation. Instead, Christian conservatives’ love for Chick Fil A is totally based upon their moral views of what the country should permit as good, wholesome, and legal, behavior. This is because the social gospel of conservatives has nothing to do with gospel of Jesus Christ, that affirms that all (conservatives & liberals) are guilty before God, and are headed for Hell. Instead, the social gospel of conservatives has everything to do with control of the country, just like the liberals. They are the modern day Pharisees and Sadducees.The prayer of both parties is not “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done”, but “My kingdom Come. My will be done”. If conservative Christians desired God’s will, then they would prove it, by not falling prey to joining social wars that has nothing to do with God’s desire for people to be saved, and are actually a barrier to proclaiming the gospel. They would not flock to Chick Fil A, as though God had anything to do with Mike Huckabee’s call for the supporting of a major food chain, as though it were a Christian martyr, laying down it’s life for the gospel.
Furthermore, if Christian conservatives desired to do the will of Jesus Christ, they would focus on evangelism, and they would refuse to partner with Mormons, Roman Catholics, and Word of faith teachers who share the same political interests as them. They would also love homosexuals, and reach out to them with the gospel, so that they would repent, believe the gospel, and be saved; Instead of fighting against them, as though they were enemies.
The politics of the social gospel, is a barrier to the proclamation of the gospel. Social engineering has bought the souls of Christian conservatives, by tempting them with offers that they couldn’t refuse. Therefore, the only reason that people are “purchasing by politics”, is because they are now pawns in the game of politics.
1John2
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
What makes John Piper one of the many authors of confusion is his willingness to partner with heretics, and affirm them as orthodox; thus handing many of his follows over to wolves who will lead them into the false gospel of easy-believism, and the social gospel, which cannot save anyone from the wrath of God, and the heretical practices of mysticism, which introduce people to a counterfeit Holy Spirit that leads them away from Christ, and his gospel, and into the lewdness of heretics.
All of this can be seen by Pipers partnership with, and endorsement of, the following heretics:
Rick Warren, who promotes mysticism, easy-believism, the social gospel, and even the “new world order” through humanitarianism and philanthropy. Click on the provided link entitled “Piper Warren interview” to learn more.
Mark Driscoll, who blasphemes Jesus Christ, promotes the drinking of alcohol among Christians, indulges in blaspheming the Holy Spirit by claiming to have pornographic visions from God, introduces Christians to a sex toy shop on his church’s website, and leads his congregation into mystical practices. Click on the provided link entitled “Authors of Confusion Pt. 7 – Mark Driscoll’s ‘Cultural Relevance’” & “Piper loves Driscoll’s theology.” to learn more.
In the article entitled, “We Want You to be a Christian Hedonist”, Piper makes claims that contradicts the essentials of the faith as taught in Scripture. The claims are listed below:
“God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.” – The Bible does not teach this. Instead, it teaches this…”Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matthew 5:16).” & “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy (1Peter 2:9-10).”
“The desire to be happy is a proper motive for every good deed…” – The Bible does not teach this. Instead, it teaches this…”If ye love me, keep my commandments (J0hn 14:15).” & “…the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again (2Corinthians 5:14-15).” Therefore, the proper motive for doing good works is that of love for, and gratefulness to, Jesus Christ, who gave his life so that we could be saved from the wrath of God. Here is another motive for doing what is right…”Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates (2Corinthians 13:5)?” & “And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments (1John 2:3).” Therefore, we also do good works for the sake of being sure that we belong to God, and are not false converts.
“…if you abandon the pursuit of your own joy you cannot love man or please God.” – The Bible does not teach this. Instead, it teaches this…”If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple (Luke 14:26-27).” & “So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:33)” & “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul (Matthew 16:24-26)?” The Bible also gives us this warning…”Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, ***whose God is their belly***, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things (Philippians 3:17-19).” & “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, ***blasphemers***, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, ***lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God***; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: ***from such turn away*** (2Timothy 3:1-5).” Therefore, loving God is not at all loving one’s own pleasure, nor is loving God pleasure seeking. Also, “Love…does not seek its own…(1Corinthians 13:5)”.
The article is full of these kind of deceptive statements, which contradict Scripture, and the essentials of the gospel. These kind of statements can also be found in the video clip entitled “John Piper – What is Christian Hedonism?”, and they are listed below:
“God serves us. We don’t have to be his servants. I like that” – The Bible does not teach this. Instead, it teaches this…”Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them (John 13:13-17).” & “Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 24:44-51).” & “Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand (Romans 14:3-4).” & “Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; ***serving the Lord*** (Romans 12:10-11)”.
“I don’t lift his burdens. He lifts my burdens” – “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light (Matthew 11:28-30). Therefore, believers are commanded to stop carrying their own burdens, and to, instead, carry God’s burden, which is to love others, and to proclaim the gospel to everyone.
After making these statements, he contradicts himself, and says that “God himself is our joy”, and “he does not work for us”. This is confusion. Furthermore, their is no need to teach hedonism for any reason. Believers can be sufficiently built up in their faith without these heretical claims. All that this heresy of Christian Hedonism serves to do is to stir up strifes concerning the essentials of the faith, and for no good reason.
Piper has persisted in making major offenses concerning the faith by his partnership with heretics (1John 2:8-11), and with his false gospel of hedonism (Galatians 1:8-9, Galatians 5:8-9). Scripture gives of his warning, and command, about those who do so…
Romans 16
17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil (Matthew 7:18).
The following links are a, four part, expose on “Freemasonry in the church”, by Christian J. Pinto. In it, he discusses Freemasonic doctrine, history, its agenda, and its infiltration of Protestant churches:
“Soft separatists don’t distance themselves properly from those who are headed in a wrong direction in order to cut off the leaven of compromise from their personal lives and families and churches. Compromise is a contagious spiritual disease, and separation is the only thing that will protect us from its pollution.”
Paul Flynn discusses some of the history of Roman Catholicism, the increasing influence of mystics on modern evangelicals, and how mysticism links evangelicals to Catholicism.
Tiffany Rent,with family members, leaves the 1st Municipal District of the Circuit Court of Cook County today. Rent, who is 8 months pregnant, was Tasered by Chicago Police after being told to move her vehicle from a handicapped parking spot outside a store. (Alex Garcia,…)
“…police say the officer warned Tiffany Rent he would use the stun gun if she drove away after tearing up a parking ticket, throwing it at his face and yelling, “You ain’t arresting (expletive).” The officer fired the stun gun as she put her SUV into gear, according to a police report.” For more information click on the link entitled “Officer uses stun gun on pregnant woman during parking dispute“
This is just one of the many incidents which displays America’s moral decay.
This new article, by Christian J. Pinto, entitled “AMERICA UPSIDE DOWN” posts 25 signs that our country is collapsing from within.
Jesus Christ, knowing how these last days, that we live in, would be, explain it in this way:
Matthew 24
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
The Apostle Paul also foretold, by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, what the people in these last days would be like:
2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
That is why our hope should not be in this world, but in Christ’s coming kingdom.
2Peter 3
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
1John 5
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Revelation 2
25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
28 And I will give him the morning star.
The Bible gives this command to the church in regards to partnering with Roman Catholicism:
2John 1
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
The Bible gives this command to the church in regards to the prominent Protestant leaders, who are partnering with Rome:
Romans 16
17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

It’s sad that the devil has successfully duped the church into believing that understanding the word as it was written is irrelevant. There are many who have put reading and understanding the word on the back burner in favor of a “revelation” as if they have had some insight into the word that those that seek the word cannot have. This is a classic trick of the word of faith movement who violate the word often, to make you believe that “personal revelation” trumps true word revelation. Understanding the word is a combination of study and prayer. You cannot raise one above the other. The church at large is imploding because of this philosophy that studying the word in the original language and referring to commentaries is somehow a fruitless endeavor. Don’t believe the hype! To stray from the use of scholars as well as the use other reference books to unlock the text of scripture in favor of some ethereal “knowledge” is called “Gnosticism,” a heretical practice that the early church condemned. Combine your prayer life with diligent and thorough study and you will find God’s truth. Remember…it is the word that frees us not our perceived “oneness” with the Spirit of God. Knowing the word is walking in his word, and walking in the Spirit requires understanding the word. We must fight the urge not to rightfully study the word and become diligent as not to fall for the wisdom of crafty men with worldly wisdom clothed in Godliness. As I often say in my radio show…DO THE WORK!
Jesus warned his disciples of deception that was intended for the church.
Mark 13 5 And Jesus, answering them, began to say: “Take heed that no one deceives ***YOU***.
So the deception is not just for those who don’t know God. It is also designed to deceive Christians; especially during what Jesus called the “great tribulation”, which will occur shortly before Christ’s return.
Mark 13 21 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, He is there!’ do not believe it. 22 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 23 But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.
Before the great tribulation, the world will be dominated by a world church (Revelation 17). It will deceive all of the nations of the world
Revelation 17 1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show
you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”
It is because this false church will dominate the world’s understanding of what it means to be a Christian, that God, before hand, told us not to be deceived by it, and also to come out of it. He tells us to come out of it, because many of his elect have been raised within it from childhood.
Revelation 18 4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
Some of the people that God has already called out of this church were priests, and monks, within this church, such as Martin Luther and John Hus. Many of them were killed by this false church. That is why the Bible said that it is drunk with the blood of the saints (Revelation 17:6). During its first reign over the kings of, what Daniel called, the “fourth kingdom”, it was reported to have killed about 50 million people through its crusades and inquisitions (Daniel 8).
Revelation 17 shows us that it will rule over the kings of the fourth kingdom before the great tribulation (Revelation 17:1-3).
The beast is the office of the pope. Throughout the church age, the popes have claimed to be “The Holy Father”, “The Father”/pope means father, “The Vicar of Christ”/antichirst, and Christ veiled in human flesh. The fourth kingdom/Europe believed this heresy, and idolatry, and thought that this madness was Christianity. If only they were able to read the Bible. Then they would have been able to see for themselves that this was the opposite of Chris’s church, and that the popes were Christ’s enemies.
Matthew 24 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no
The VICARS OF CHRIST “Vicar of Christ”, which means: to reign in the place of Christ. “Antichrist” means: one who puts himself in the place of Christ. It also means: the opponent of Christ.
one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. Luke 21 8 And He said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore ***do not go after them***.
These are the popes; the little horn of Daniel 7:19-25, Daniel 8:23-25, and it will come back during the great tribulation (Revelation 13, Revelation 17).
So the concept of a Universal church is not a theory, but Bible prophecy, because the Bible tells us that the fourth kingdom will rule over the earth, and that the capital of the fourth kingdom is the little horn/Roman Catholicism & the popes.
The knowledge of the fourth kingdom’s efforts to take over the world is as common as their slogan, which is “the new world order”. It means “a one world government for the entire world to be ruled by.” Many coming out of Europe have been working toward this goal, such as the Jesuits, Freemasons, Rosicrucians, The Illuminati, Roman Catholicism, Skull & Bones, The Bohemian Club, The CFR, The United Nations, The European Union, International Bankers, The super rich corporations & families of the West (America & Europe), and many others. And all of these are working together as one, for the purpose of bringing about a new world order, and “Coexistence”. They claim to be working toward establishing peace and security for the world, just as the Bible foretold (1Thessalonians 5:1-6).
1Thessalonians 5:2-3
There is a very religious element to this conspiracy. It operates according to the principal of ecumenism, for the purpose of creating a universal religion, that consist of all of the world’s religions, under the leadership of the new world order’s government. Within this one world religion is Christianity, and its intent is for Christianity to be led by Roman Catholicism. In America, this includes, both the religious right, and the religious left. It is through doctrine and practice that the conservatives are being aided and led by Roman Catholics in their “God in government” campaign, which is a moral crusade for the soul of America, and Liberals are being led by Roman Catholics through humanitarianism, and mysticism. These are the out-workings of the social gospel, and most American Christians are being led astray by it. The social gospel has shaped America throughout its history the mid to late 1700’s.
The proofs of the effort for the new world order, the Universal church, and coexistence, can be affirmed by the following links:
If we think that we can re-establish morality through civil law, let us not be blind to the facts about who we are as human beings, and let us, instead, be reminded, by “the recent tragedy“, that our nation, and even our world, is not under God blessing, but his curse.
First, remember that we are not good people, but sinners, and the law is only good for showing us how evil we are before God:
Romans 3
10 As it is written: ” There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.”
13 ” Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit”; ” The poison of asps is under their lips”;
14 ” Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 ” Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways;
17 And the way of peace they have not known.”
18 ” There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
The heart of mankind is desperately wicked, and we receive, from God, what we deserve:
Jeremiah 17
9 ” The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?
10 I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.
We became sinful because of Adams rebellion against God, and this is proven by the fact that everyone that lives must die, because the wages of sin is death:
Genesis 2
15 Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Romans 5
12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned —
Romans 6
23 For the wages of sin is death
Therefore, to be a decedent of Adam, is to be born in sin, separated from God, and to have a heart that is wicked from its youth:
Psalm 51
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.
Genesis 8
21 “…the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth…”
Mankind is under God’s curse, of bondage to shameful sins, because its refuses to worship the true God, and it rejects his Son, Jesus Christ:
Exodus 20
3 ” You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 ” You shall not make for yourself a carved image — any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;
5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,
Romans 1
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man — and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,
30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;
32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
Mankind is also living under the judgment of God, which started in the Garden of Eden:
Genesis 3
17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’: ” Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, And you shall eat the herb of the field.
19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.”
Also more judgments have come on mankind, throughout history, in the form of plagues:
Matthew 24
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.
5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many (the plague of tyrants and false Christs – Revelation 6:2).
6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet (the plague of death by violence – Revelation 6:4).
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places (plagues of poverty and deaths of all kinds – Revelation 6:5-8).
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.
10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.
11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
This will continue, and grow worse, until Jesus Christ returns to establish his kingdom on earth (Revelation 6 & Matthew 24). Trying to change or control these plagues is to fight against God, who sent them. They are his judgments. Our only hope in this world is the good news of Jesus Christ, because it promises, those who believe in him, freedom from sin, to be saved from God’s judgment on this world, eternal life, and to reign with Christ forever when he returns. This is the hope of the world. It is not from this world. It is from Heaven. It is from God. It is unique. It is good in every way, and brings no sorrow.
God does not want us to become better people, because he knows that we cannot. Instead, he tells us to turn away from our sins and to place our trust in the gospel of Jesus Christ. If we trust his promise to save us, who believe in him, then we will abide in him (study, meditate upon, and obey his teachings).
Isaiah 51
1 “Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness, You who seek the LORD: Look to the rock from which you were hewn, And to the hole of the pit from which you were dug.
2 Look to Abraham your father, And to Sarah who bore you; For I called him alone, And blessed him and increased him.” – Romans 4
3 For the LORD will comfort Zion, He will comfort all her waste places; He will make her wilderness like Eden, And her desert like the garden of the LORD; Joy and gladness will be found in it, Thanksgiving and the voice of melody. – Revelation 21:4-6 & Matthew 5:3-10
4 ” Listen to Me, My people; And give ear to Me, O My nation: For law will proceed from Me, And I will make My justice rest As a light of the peoples. – Revelation 20:4-6
5 My righteousness is near, My salvation has gone forth, And My arms will judge the peoples; The coastlands will wait upon Me, And on My arm they will trust. – Revelation 20:7-15
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, And look on the earth beneath. For the heavens will vanish away like smoke, The earth will grow old like a garment, And those who dwell in it will die in like manner; But My salvation will be forever, And My righteousness will not be abolished. – Revelation 21:1-8

Instead, it deceives people into thinking that this world is theirs to have, that they can make this world better in Christ’s name, and that Christ is not going to judge the world in righteousness, and destroy this world’s system, or at least cause them to forget that he will. The social gospel leads people away from Christ, and encourages them to love this world’s system. It teaches people that they can claim the world and not lose their soul, and that God wants them to have life, liberty, and happiness. These are all lies and deception, and they are for the purpose of redefining the gospel, so that Christians will rally behind, social gospel, false Christian leaders, who will tell them who to vote for.
The Christian conservatives are being led astray by the social gospel. One of the many proofs of their state of deception is their new found love for “Chick Fil A”, and it’s founder, who recently has joined their ongoing war against the liberal agenda to change the nation’s definition of marriage. This love for Chick Fil A is not based upon the founder’s love for Jesus Christ, and his gospel of salvation. Instead, Christian conservatives’ love for Chick Fil A is totally based upon their moral views of what the country should permit as good, wholesome, and legal, behavior. This is because the social gospel of conservatives has nothing to do with gospel of Jesus Christ, that affirms that all (conservatives & liberals) are guilty before God, and are headed for Hell. Instead, the social gospel of conservatives has everything to do with control of the country, just like the liberals. They are the 
modern day Pharisees and Sadducees.The prayer of both parties is not “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done”, but “My kingdom Come. My will be done”. If conservative Christians desired God’s will, then they would prove it, by not falling prey to joining social wars that has nothing to do with God’s desire for people to be saved, and are actually a barrier to proclaiming the gospel. They would not flock to Chick Fil A, as though God had anything to do with Mike Huckabee’s call for the supporting of a major food chain, as though it were a Christian martyr, laying down it’s life for the gospel.
repent, believe the gospel, and be saved; Instead of fighting against them, as though they were enemies.
