Israel was apostate for most of her history, sadly. Which was written down for our ADMONITION. In her best days she was a type and shadow of the kingdom of God, not of a worldly kingdom. David was a type and shadow of Christ...and notice he wasn't enthroned until after King Saul, a false messiah figure. We are to serve in the new way of the Spirit now, which doesn't mind earthly things.
Then you should concentrate on spiritual things and not worry about earthly things.

And history too. This generation has forgotten the lessons of history. Here in Canada the young are being taught that human nature is essentially good....yikes.
Human nature is what it is: Human

Um, No.
If he had been convicted of Rape he would be in jail.
What the verdict of the jury actually was, is:
Because Trump was not convicted of a crime, it is not accurate to say that he is "a convicted sexual abuser." Instead, it is accurate to say that a jury unanimously decided that it was more likely than not true that Trump sexually abused and forcibly touched Carroll, and as such, her defamation claim was valid.

You can say it was likely, but it doesn't make it true.

What's happening now is he is being charged with defamation charges because he said mean things which made other people say mean things.

Get YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT
Thankyou

Facts are often hard to get at, especially these days. In the end maybe only God knows the facts about some things and all we often have are our opinions and educated guesses and personal biases. I'm not willing to take a stand based on my opinions and educated guesses and biases, and I find that things can be safely left to the Lord to judge.

It's really kind of a relief to know that I don't have to parse through all the information and misinformation out there and have a handle on everything....because I know the One one who does have a handle on everything, and the only solid ground I am willing to stand and walk on is HIS word, and you know what?....it is sufficient.....absolutely sufficient, believe it or not. I've realized that this world and the things that go on here are HIS business and I just need to be concerned about HIS will for me right now, right here, this minute. And that's just fine, the sky is not going to fall because little old me doesn't have a handle on and am judging everything. I just don't try to judge any more. "Did he or didn't he?" Not my business...God knows and will do the judging. If He gives me a discernment on anything, fine. If not, that is fine too. Right now I just need to stay behind the Lord and not be caught up in a cult like spirit and fervor like I unfortunately am seeing many succumbing to.

The only voice and information I'm listening for is the LORD's, by His grace I'm listening at His doorpost, instead of scouring through websites, and He is not leading me astray. DT is a double-edged sword...be careful dear brothers and sisters. Yes, sent by the Lord, in His sovereign will, but not how you are thinking and hoping. America is between and rock and a hard place. But you don't HAVE to choose between one or the other. Better to choose option #3, the only way to escape a rock and hard place.....just follow Jesus and be about HIS business, which is the gospel, and trust Him enough to leave governance to Him. If the church were to do that en masse, I believe God would even give America back to you again, and delay the inevitable for your sakes. But sadly, I don't believe the church is going to do that, except for a remnant...and certainly the church as a whole isn't choosing that option right now.

The battle that goes on between good and evil in this world is just the smoke and mirrors to distract us from our real mission. Everything to do with this world is a MIXTURE of good and evil.....very much including politics. Satan's kingdom, this world, is divided against itself.

Don't let our hearts go astray into idolatry.

Oh believe me I have and have repented of it, lol. I have had a few choice words for our Prime Minister which I shouldn't have let escape my lips. He is just a floundering lost soul doing what lost souls do. Just as I once was. How can I hate him and at the same time be concerned for his soul?

I fully understand how galling it is to see how things are going in this world......but nothing is going to stop the fulfillment of prophecy ultimately and we need to trust that the Lord has it all in hand, and not panic. Because He absolutely does. He knows the end from the beginning and even has foretold it all. The issue is about where we are putting our TRUST....in politics and a politician or in GOD? And are in the flesh or in the spirit with these things? The flesh doesn't produce good fruit....and that is how the devil allures, through the flesh.

Nope. The ADA recommends you go to the dentist every 6 months. This is true even though not in the Bible.

So what other things are Christians supposed to be doing... that God never said we were supposed to be doing?

Is there like a list or something?

This is what Jesus had a problem with concerning the pharisees... they had added a lot of stuff to God's Word that... wasn't of God, that God never commanded resulting in the pharisees guilt tripping the people resulting in legalism.

It's the same with the claim that Christians are "required" to participate in politics and go to the dentist ever 6 months.

This is the wisdom of men being taught as though it were the wisdom of God

I know what you mean! I had to laugh when Tucker Carlson announced he was going to Edmonton and Calgary to liberate Canada.

I told my brothers up there and they tried to get tickets, but the events sold out in three hours.

Al freakin' berta....

I'm surprised the authoritarian ruling regime in Canada didn't taker Tucker Carlson in to custody for saying things the ruling regime does not agree with. laughing.gif

God never said we should be the judge of others, and yet many christians believe it is their duty to do so.

Mat 7:1
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Mat 7:2
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Mat 7:3
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Mat 7:4
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Mat 7:5
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

I will not be voting for Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election for many reasons, one of which is the fact that he wants to end all aid to Ukraine in their fight against Russian aggression. That will entail a Russian victory and their subsequent invasion of smaller European countries, igniting World War 3. Even worse: Trump said NATO was “obsolete” and expressed a strong desire to leave the alliance, leaving Europe to fend for itself against the Russian aggressor. This will make WW3 an even more violent conflict.

I’m not from a swing state, and as a political moderate I’m honestly not too fond of Biden, so I’m thinking about voting for RFK Jr. It won’t make any difference who I vote for because Texas will invariably go for Trump, and yeah, RFK Jr. has said some stupid things about vaccines and endorsed the asinine idea of giving black Americans reparations for slavery even though nobody today was born a slave, but my vote will mainly be a protest against Trump above all else.

What does everyone else think?

A protest vote is not a wasted vote. It helps send a message to politicians not to neglect the opinions of their constituency.

By the way, I called reparations for slavery an asinine idea. That’s far from being a left-wing talking point.

Yes, but you embraced one of their major fear mongering talking points which is "That will entail a Russian victory and their subsequent invasion of smaller European countries, igniting World War 3"

Te Russian military is a joke! All they really have is the ability to shoot nukes.

The liberals are working FOR communist china and support them as their communist brethren

I think it's so much better to fund a war based on a coup in 2014 to try and remove the President of Russia,
than to solve the conflict through Peace which Trump is proposing.
And joining NATO which is an agreement between Ukraine and Russia for Ukraine not to join Nato.
that breaking that agreement is absolutely the way to make friends.
I believe feeding the industrial military complex is much more important that providing for one's own country and citizens.
And laundery billions of tax payers dollars to fund their blood thirsty greed is commendable.
I believe sending weapons and money to Ukraine to genocide the Russian nationalists that have lived on that soil through many generations is the most democratic and christian thing to do.
Hail Pentagon!

Sarcasm intended.

Only Jesus can bring true liberation.

Human nature is human nature everywhere, even in Canada. Right now the left wing media is making hay because the Alberta premier used the word "crosshairs" (in a figurative sense). I hope their fears are not founded. Because we who are in Christ can't join in with any literal crosshairs, even if we might sympathize with the cause.
