The Christian Coalition - 1995
"The idea that there can be some kind of alliance between the Christian Coalition and the RCC is nonsense." - Reed said Catholics and evangelical Christians could find common ground in opposing abortion, opposing pornography, supporting school choice and beliefs."
Justice Sunday Message:
`People hold the power.' Sutoon, first vice president of the Nashville based Southern Baptist Convention, the nations largest Protestant body, closed with five sentences:
- It's a new day.
- Liberalism is dead.
- The majority of Americans are conservative.
- You can count on me for showing up and speaking out.
- And - let the church rise
[Jeannine F. Hunter, 259-8287, August 15, 1995.]
These occurrences we have been presenting for a long time.
"The history which the great I AM has marked out in His word, uniting link after link in the prophetic chain, from eternity in the past to eternity in the future, tells us where we are today in the procession of the ages, and what may be expected in the time to come. All that prophecy has foretold as coming to pass, until the present time, has been traced on the pages of history, and we may be assured that all which is yet to come will be fulfilled in its order." {Ed 178.3}
"Protestantism shall give the hand of fellowship to the Roman power. Then there will be a law against the Sabbath of God's creation, and then it is that God will do His "strange work" in the earth." [7BC 910 (1886); LDE 130.1]
"When the leading churches of the United States, uniting upon such points of doctrine as are held by them in common, shall influence the state to enforce their decrees and to sustain their institutions, then Protestant America will have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy, and the infliction of civil penalties upon dissenters will inevitably result." {GC 445.1}
"The dignitaries of church and state will unite to bribe, persuade, or compel all classes to honor the Sunday. The lack of divine authority will be supplied by oppressive enactments. Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth; and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance. Liberty of conscience, which has cost so great a sacrifice, will no longer be respected. In the soon-coming conflict we shall see exemplified the prophet's words: "The dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." Revelation 12:17. {GC 592.3}
