Dominionists behind rise of "Intelligent Design"

The Dominionist Plan: Today Control the USA, Tomorrow the World
" Significantly, Dominionism is a form of Social Darwinism. It inherently includes the religious belief that wealth-power is a sign of God's election. That is, out of the masses of people and the multitude of nations—wealth, in and of itself, is thought to indicate God's approval on men and nations whereas poverty and sickness reflect God's disapproval. The roots of the idea come from a natural twist of an Old Testament passage, which I discuss below. Essentially there were two elements necessary to establish Dominionism among Christians who previously believed helping the poor was a mandate of Christianity.
First, Old Testament law had to be accepted as an essential part of a Christian's theology.
Secondly, the Christian had to undergo a second conversion-like experience that went beyond being born again and demanded not only a commitment to reestablishing the Old Testament legal structure but required the implementation of that law in the nations of the world (including the U.S.) based upon a different understanding of the Great Commission (Matthew 28: 18-20). Under this concept Dominionists are to go into all the world to take dominion and "make disciples" teaching the disciples to "observe all" that Jesus "commanded." All nations under Dominionist's teaching are to convert to biblical laws, which are ranked superior to secular laws that were not God given or God directed and are found wanting. The Christian therefore must be willing to overthrow all laws that are secular.
In other words, a measure of one's spirituality rested upon the individual's willingness to accept the concept of taking dominion over not only the people of America, but taking dominion over the people of the entire world. From Dominionists' actual words, the taking of America is perceived as a violent act. . .
As Robertson wrote approvingly in his book, The Secret Kingdom, the kingdom of heaven "suffers violence, and violent men take it by force." He explained, "Zealous men force their way in. That's what it means." (Page 82.)

1. Can't say I'm surprised!

I wonder when they're going to tell us the earth is flat.

2. Proving once again, their god is Mammon

They worship money, not God.

They are allied with Satan. Robertson is evil.

Matt 7:15
Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

Luke13:16
No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."


I Peter5:2
Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve;

12. Dominionists are guilty of treason - they are trying to overthrow

our Constitution and lawful government and replace it with one of their own invention.

Treason in a time of war is a capital offense. I say "Off with their heads!" and let's start with Pat Robertson.

13. You're right, I soft-pedaled it. Dominionism is treason, period. n/t
