How far should the U.S., a Christian country be prepared?

the USA needs to be extremely prepared - specially because we're helping those countries. religion shouldn't really matter. but it does and it have for ever.

You initial question asks about Christendom.  Christendom refers to the Christian world.  The United States today could certainly be considered part of "Christendom" in most cases.  That is not to say that there are non-Christians.\n\nAs for your question about what it means to be an American...You can interpret that one many different ways.  I don't want to do all of your homework for you!

I think people's faith would be more real, more indepth if we lived in a country where Christianity was persecuted, but we probably wouldn't have as many members. I praise God that we do live in a country where we are free & not persecuted to worship & practice our religion. A lot of the times, being the 'norm' helps people come to Him, but a lot of other times, it usually makes for a shallow relationship, and it dies off in a couple of months or years...

There will be continued efforts to make a 1 world government, but it will really take shape after the rapture.  Everybody will want to have some to feel safer (there is safety in numbers), and people will more willingly unite in hope of doing this.

Just because you may be a Christian doesn't mean others around you have to be.. This country is all about Diversity and children need to learn in the Diverse world.

Probably.  But if the US doesn't, God will.

Our founding forefathers were Christians. This great country was built on Christian beliefs.  We will always be one nation under God and those whom that offends should GTFO & find another place to live.  I hear Bin Laden has room.\n\n"Funny how those who cry tolerance, refuse to tolerate and those who cry to be heard, refuse to listen."

Nothing has been stripped away from you. You still have the freedom to practice your religion, as you choose.\nThat is the commonality that separates the U.S. from other cultures. FREEDOM. There are other countries that practice Christianity. That is not what makes the USA the country that it is.\nFreedom is what separates us from others. The freedom to practice Christianity, or Judaism, Catholicism, Islam, etc., or no religion.\nThe freedom to dissent, without being arrested or killed. The freedom to bear arms. The freedom to come and go out of this country, as we please. The freedom to pick and choose our own mates, or none. The freedom to have 0 children or 10 children. The list is endless in this country.\nAs with all "families", we bicker amongst ourselves. But, as with all families, we stand together and fight against outsiders. \nAnd please don't bring up Iraq as an example of not standing together. I don't think too many people would have objected if we had stayed with the original goal of pursuing Bin-Laden and Al-Queda (sp?).\nWe're still more united than you think.\nAs far as the concept of separation of church and state, this is not a theocracy, rather a democracy or republic, however you would like to phrase it. The government should not be "exclusive", but "inclusive". To espouse one particular belief would exclude a very large segment of the population. One should never be made to feel like an "outsider" in ones' own country. Not in the United States. The land of freedom.\nAs long as we still have the right to go to our respective churches (or none) and worship as we please, there should be no complaints.

God is shaking America.  Also, prophesied that where God washes expect a move of the Holy Spirit.  Right now, God is hearing the Christian prayers in America.  Don't give up hope.  God blesses us.  Depending on the Christian's faithfulness.  Jesus isn't surprised about election results.  He isn't limited by them.  \n\nRight now we are blessed, our economy is good, deficite is down, low unemployment rate, etc... Don't give up.  Trust God.  Everything works for the good for those who trust in the Lord.\n\nIt is true that Americas role in dividing Israel has had some catostrophic results in America (Example, hurricane Katrina).\n\nSo, we need to repent and pray accordingly.  Also, I don't believe lawlessness will reign until the Church with oil in their lamps get raptured to attend the Lambs marriage supper.  That opens up the door to lawlessness.  But Jesus is still victorious.\n\nThe Christians left behind (low oil in lamps) will know what happened and suffer persecution and not take the mark of the beast.  And will help Israel.  But the wrath of God is poured out onto those who took the mark & who destroy creation, the beasts & false prophets, and the harlot of abomination who has the blood of the Saints (Israeli & Christian) and Prophets on her hands.  Anyone born of God through faith in Christ is not appointed to wrath, I believe are in heaven (were beheaded) or at an appointed place on earth.

Your knowledge of history is selective and greatly lacking. While evil has been perpetrated in the name of Christianity, it is not the predominant characteristic of Christianity. \n\nDo you also consider torture, great environmental damage, and cannibalism qualities of a peaceful, desirable society? These were the hallmarks of the native Americans who inhabited the nation before Europeans arrived here.\n\nStudy first and write second.

ABSOLUTELY.  The US government was founded on Christian principles.  Its the turning away from them that is destroying us.  The so-called separation of church and state is NOT in the constitution, but the opinion of a handful of people.  Further, it was designed to keep the government from having a church sponsored religion, like the church of england when we were colonies....not to remove religious principles.

Yes.  that is why we are to watch and be prepared.  The Bible says to be sober.  This means clear-minded.  To be clear-minded you have to be in Christ.

Anytime the gov't tries to incorporate church and state. I can't believe how easily we forget that our ancestors came here to get away from just that. This country was built to allow it's citizens freedom to make their own religious choices. Yet we allow the gov't to sneak their christian beliefs into our laws.

"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.  Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.  If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.  His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."\n\nPhilippians 4:6-7

Hello Well.. :)\n\nOne who walks, talks and trusts the Lord with all of their hearts and soul..we must serve our Lord, with more than just mere lip service..we must visit the elderly, clothe the naked, visit those in jail or prison and feed the hungry..for if we have done it unto the least of our brethren we have done it unto Him.. :)\n\nOne must also be able to back up our claims through scripture..\n\nBeware of wolves in sheep clothing.. :(\n\nIn Jesus Most Precious Name..\nWith Love..In Christ..

I would say straight to hell, but that sounds a little harsh... Instead how about there are far to many sinfull people living there, with only a few (one of whom I would say is President Bush) trying to follow God and live like Christians!!
