Putin it here

RE: Putin it here
But why only "radical" Christians? Don't all Christians believe in the Bible, especially the end of times/ Apocalypse?

Quote:Radical Christians reckon Ukraine war is 'sign of Jesus's return' and the 'end of times'

Radical Christians believe humanity is in 'the end of times' as the outbreak of war in Ukraine has 'prophetic significance.'

Evangelical pastor Greg Laurie from the Harvest Christian Fellowship in California claims the Bible predicts the coming of war and plagues when Jesus is meant to return to Earth - which he claims is related to the current conflict and the coronavirus pandemic.

In a bizarre social media video following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Laurie said: "Is there any prophetic significance to what is happening in Ukraine right now?
“The answer is…Yes! I believe that Christ could come back at any moment.

“There are signs of times the Bible tells us to be looking for. Jesus likened it to labour pains in a woman who’s ready to give birth—the idea being the closer they get together the closer you are to the birth.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Christians have been taking the “there will be wars and rumors of wars” verse and hyping it up literally every time any sort of global conflict arises. This has happened for over a millennia. Something similar happens whenever there’s a big revival. Inevitably someone starts getting excited thinking that it will be the last big revival before the second coming.

I’ve never quite understood this phenomenon, even as a Christian, because there’s a red letter verse where it is made clear that “only the Father knows the time or the hour”. That’s a fairly blunt and straightforward statement.

So for what it’s worth, no. I’m not really looking at this conflict in an eschatological way at all.

And as for the conspiracy theorists siding with Putin… I have nothing nice to say about that. At all.

Going to flatten Kyiv so they can’t hold an LGBT parade

Quote:In Sunday sermon, Orthodox bishop Kirill backs Russia’s war against Ukraine

Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill unsurprisingly endorsing Putin’s narrative on Ukraine in a sermon today. According to him the West essentially organises genocide campaigns against countries that refuse to stage gay parades.
