Psalm 2

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

The first five verses I think pertain to this discussion. And to different agendas that try to remove Christianity, or remove Christians. No matter how well planned or how well spoken, what can they do? God laughs at them even! Who can remove what God has placed? And now in every nation there are Christians among them. I don't think that'll ever go away. Regardless of the murder in Islamic countries, or the politics of western countries. The Christian presence won't leave and can't be force-ably removed. It's not in their power to remove Christianity.

What a load of verbal diarrhoea, senseless crap. "holy hill of Zion"! Please, there should be a holy cliff of Zion, where anyone who would believe such nonsense could jump off. At least its mostly a cut and paste job and NNS didn't have to type it all out.
This is the screwball jargonistic rubbish some Christians like to wrap themselves in

To Paul.

I'm glad you've read it all the way through. Psalms 2:6-12 speak about Jesus. So it's good that you've read it. But if you need help getting through the jargon of any of it. I'll gladly help you understand it.

As of now you resemble what's talked about in the first psalm of the being in the seat of the scornful. It's one of the three things that psalm says to avoid. Perhaps that would be a good place to start? The claims of blessings to those who put God's decrees first, and who avoid 1) the consol of the godless, 2) the path of the sinner, and 3) being scornful themselves.

If you know anyone who has these attributes see if they are blessed. Or if their lives seem to either get better or stay secure. Even in the storms of life I've seen these kinds of people stay stable. Almost like they are being looked after or that their actions are wiser then thise around them.

Worth looking into if I were you. Are the blessings of Psalmes 1 true? Is the path of the godless blown by the wind and always changing?

NNS..

Try for a change, expressing a political view. There is a time and a place for preaching.
Your sermonising is actually annoying, under the circumstances applicable here.
Your obsessed with religion. It is the worst obsession to outsiders.

You may think that the justified criticism of your obsession is a sign from a God, you are on the right track; well that conclusion is simply pandering to your persecution complex, a point which you really need to address.

A very helpful post, Not Now Soon. Comforting. Alas, it brought down more irrational raging from Paul, the epitome of a lost soul on the brink of madness. His 'faith' is of the Green variety that preaches the idea that man can control nature. Fortunately, his sort will always be a minority. Even the Wentworth Weirdos, who appear to have sent a lunatic to Canberra, only gave the nature worshippers their usual 8%-9% of the vote.

"the brink of madness. His 'faith' is of the Green variety that preaches the idea that man can control nature."
And sanity says man can't control a nature of homosexuality and can't clear forests or produce coal smoke . So we should be gay and eat blackberries.
