Embassy of Heaven

Stated purpose
-
We are a peculiar people living in obedience to the simple teachings of Jesus Christ. We are Christ's ambassadors and citizens of Heaven, called out of the world to preach Heaven's message. (2 Corinthians 5:20, Philippians 3:20 and 2 Corinthians 6:17).
The ancient scriptures say that the Kingdom of Heaven is coming someday. The new testament proclaims that the Kingdom has arrived! Jesus didn't bring us a RELIGION. He brought us a NATIONALITY. (John 1:12,13)

Perceived enemies

Government– “If you have given your allegiance to Jesus Christ, and you live your beliefs, you will go to jail. It is inevitable because the world will hate you.”
LGBT community– labels them as “perverts” and accuses them of scamming their way into power and convincing everyone that the US is a Christian nation in an attempt to cover up their own sins. They say that according to the bible, they should be killed.
(On LGBT people taking over the country) “They made war on us because we were persuading others to turn away from perverted government”
