I think you would do well to stop posting about this.
I am frankly tired of thee attacks on Moderate Conservatives. There is a history that likely informs opinions. If someone has an ax to grind, what is posted should considered in light of this. There has been specific posts about a church that I have strong ties to.
I attend a Moderate Conservative church. I don't think it's all a 'lost cause' any more than the Holdemans are a lost cause. I see a lot of concerning movement in both of them, yet am very much a part of it.

There is a place for debate and disagreement. The personal attacks are unwarranted, and you've also been completely wrong with yours facts more than a few times.

Feeling strongly about these attacks does not justify fallacious slander in response.
Let me assure you, that there is indeed an ax to grind.

Why don’t you tell us what my “ax to grind” is?

That’s how I felt when Liberal presidents advocate for abortion and lit at the White House in rainbow colors and told the gay activist “This is their country now. So I understand how you feel.” Trump was the only president that marched in the pro-life march.
God certainly called enough wars but He never promoted sexual sins like Democrat presidents and Kate term abortions.
Donald Trump has cheated on his three wives multiple times (no-fault divorce is a sexual sin).

So, he has done much worse than merely promoting sexual sins; he has committed them himself—not to mention the disgusting things he admitted to doing at the vanity and lust-driven pageants he owned, such as Miss Teen America, Miss USA, and Miss Universe.

It is one thing to claim that Democratic presidents have been worse, but let’s not pretend that Trump is an example of Christian values.
King David, a man after Gods own heart- did worse and yet he did not PROMOTE LGBTQ as do Democrat presidents (& the party) AND they PROMOTE Abortion even to the 9 month.
Trump did no worse with women than King David & cover up his sin with murder- I can see the difference.
Those pageants are something “the world” enjoys- we’re not discussing a pastor but a politician.

I would consider Yoder’s books suspect considering how he chose to live his life. That is, in fact, the exact kind of influence I am warning about.

2 Peter 1:20
“ knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy, never came by the world of man, but holy man of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.”

We should not try to interpret prophecy on our own.
I could share the Church’s breakdown of the prophecy’s interpretation if anyone is interested.
Describing what you would share as a "breakdown" might be more accurate than you realize.

I’m at peace with it. Everyone here seems to not have the answers but insist ancient interpretation is wrong but okay.
