My comments earlier today were in reference to these kind of remarks, which have no truck with me. My point was that there were 3 separate and distinct epochs in human history when the Christian narrative dominated society, and what of it? So, what if everyone allowed us to lecture them on God? We already got 3 shots at it. Some might not count the RCC Era but what of American Protestant Hegemony Era - so strong that people were aghast when JFK was elected President because he went to the "wrong" church?
We're supposed to be revived to what? Awakened to what?
Some people seem to think that if the world got full access to their gospel, or if their gospel got unfettered access to the world, it would bring a kingdom of peace, joy, and the end of history, or at least a thousand-year interlude. But I listen to their gospel and I look at the Bible and I say, no dice.
I personally wish people would just wake up to the Bible. It talks about Jesus, his compassion, his insights, his power and authority, his mercy, his sense of humour, his purity... even my words fail. But the words are right there.
Instead we talk of "earth's earliest ages" and "the three parts of man" and "the ground of oneness" and wish everyone would accept 'our' gospel and I say, no dice.
What I was trying to say in post #103 was, unless we see how much we're asleep, we can't wake up. If we don't repent we don't get light. We Christians dominated the social conversation (repeatedly) in the past, and fat lot of good it did. So repent.
