Conversion of the Gentiles
One religion is superior to the others One has caught our attention: jihadism blow-up vs. convert |
Peace is possible Peace is inevitable |
| 3 | That He may teach us about His ways And that we may walk in His paths." For from Zion will go forth the Law Even the Word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And He will judge between many peoples And render decisions for mighty, distant nations. |

• The God who gave you life deserves your respect • Every Word this God speaks deserves your attention/obedience • Bible is not just for "private" religion, "down in your heart" • Also for public policy • Textbook for every area |
When Americans learned the Bible in public schools, America most prosperous, admired nation on earth Now U.S. exports weapons/pornography Laws of Nature and of Nature's God. "judgmental" vs. Hitler |

Male + Female Father + mother Family = "undemocratic" |
When families are functional, the State is unnecessary; Archism is suppressed Adams: mothers: |

Myth:
Fact:

Agrarianism vs. technology | Garden of Eden / City of God
Wilderness vs. Garden |
|
| 7 | Though all the peoples walk Each in the name of his god, As for us, we will walk In the Name of the LORD our God forever and ever. In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever. |

social darwinism
immigration vs. "enumerated powers." |
works of mercy vs. focus on "winners," celebrities, power-brokers |
Bereans, search scriptures "I'll have to think about this" "This is what I've always been looking for" |
