None of those links answered this question: "Where did Jesus instruct His followers to set up earthly political nations, where they can lord over and dominate everyone else?"Bezukhov wants to revisit questions he's already asked. I found some correlation to my original posts at the beginning of this thread and I showed Bezukhov that many various denominations are still in line with the founders concept of America. Bezukhov refuses to access links and ignore the answers to his questions. This is how I replied to him back in post # 68 (IIRC):
You should try reading the thread. Here are some of our stopping points:

That is the most important link on this thread and it was in the first two posts. You didn't even read that far??? Here are some more:

The premise of this thread is to show that America was founded as a Christian nation. The above links show that premise to be accurate and that the belief that not only were we founded on Christian principles, but America was the New Jerusalem.
Now, can we return to the OP? You really aren't even going to click on the links anyway.
(Bezukhov didn't... just as I said he wouldn't. He just sees an opportunity for leftists to jump on his bandwagon. His philosophy, unless I missed the cue, is that the enemy of his enemy is his friend. Politics makes for strange bedfellows.
If it was so damn important that Christians seize and wield worldly political power why didn't Jesus set them up when He was walking on earth?
Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are regarded as dust on the scales; he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust.
(Isaiah 40:15)
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
(Revelation 16: 14-16)
( Notice it didn't say "Except for Amurica"~~Bez)
I can explain it to you; I cannot understand it for you. The answer was very simple: Our nation was not set up to dominate other nations. We were to be a shining city on a hill.
You haven't read the links, so we're wasting each other's time. You are asking a straw man question and after three times of responding to you, in depth, it's cluster xxx waste of time to reason with someone too lazy to read.
