With respect, Sass:
Have you delved into some of the views expressed by 'bible belters'?
They are about as far from the Gospel as I think it's possible to get.
Some wear croosses, quote the KJV like dyspeptic parrots....and blithely ignore much of the NT...and several of the Ten Commandments in the OT as well.
And I DO know several Christians of several denominations who hailed from Oklahoma....before you ask.
Don't you know or understand your own Lords words who you claim to know?
Matthew 16:18King James Version (KJV)
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
King James Bible
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Gods Kingdom are those who obey the commandments to love God and their neighbour who are born of the Spirit and Truth.
How does Gods commandments connect what you have written?
The Words of God will stand in the hearts and minds of those men women who know God who are baptised in the Spirit.
We do not need to judge the world, Christ will do that when the time comes...

See wot I mean about quoting the KJV like dyspeptic parrots?
