Dominionism

I recently discovered the Theocracy Watch website (http://www.theocracywatch.org/), which explains "dominionism," and want to make it known to others. You can download a 44-minute video from that site. There needs to be some discussion on this topic. Dominionism is a right-wing form of Christianity whose intent is to conquer the world. It wants the U.S. Consititution to become subordinate to the Bible and a Biblical worldview, and it calls for the eliminination of several government agencies.

I'm not going to explain it here, just wanting to highly recommend the video and hope to generate discussion. It describes the theology of conquest, reminiscent of and closely related to manifest destiny (which is not mentioned), a concept that is well known in Indian country. This kind of theology was used to "justify" the taking of Indian lands and now seems to be the basis for a new world order. I'm disappointed, however, that the video presentation makes no mention of Westward expansion and manifest destiny, which are definitely relevant. I am a follower of Yeshua (Jesus) who also tries to walk the Red Road, and this kind of theology makes it even more difficult to identify as a Christian and to promote the true teachings of Jesus.

This video is worth watching and I learned much from it. . . saw myself in some of the examples given and wish I could go back in time to undo my mis-conceptions. . . breaks my heart to see this present administration is involved in trying to "save" the world yet not aware they are really destroying it plus trying to take over every country, AND outer space in the very near future.
