Today America's problems are not Democrats and Republicans or liberal and conservatives, it is her churches. Our churches are WEAK. They can not even be relied upon to express basic Judea Christian theology. We have many churches that knowingly,willingly and viciously hide known deviant activity. It is the right of all Christians to eat of the Living bread, they should not be starved to death. Where there is no bread they must change, move and adapt to those churches that will feed HIS people.

Find a bible based church and do not allow you or your family to starve to death.

The irony in this post is that you cite Tocqueville, a Catholic, as a reason to join "a bible based church" from which(based on your previous posts) you exclude the Catholic Church.

Tocqueville also predicted this:

"Our posterity will tend more and more to a division into only two parts, some relinquishing Christianity entirely and others returning to the Church of Rome"

This has proven prophetic with apostasy of the Episcopalians, ELCA, PCUSA, UMC, UCC, ABCUSA, etc etc. and also the long list of protestant pastors, scholars, and theologians that have been entering the Catholic faith in the past few decades.
