So, if Biden wins the election by false ballots, God has allowed this to happen? "Resist not evil."
Romans 13
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves

every single person ever born with the exception of Jesus falls into this category. Until a person is born again that is the state all men are in by nature.

So you agree that 1 John 1:8 is not a Christian and to become one, must be taken in context with 1 John 1:9?

Luk 4:23, And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.

Mat 25:40, And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Why can't you make up your mind? You just said that all men are born sinners except Jesus, UNTIL they are born again. 1 John 1:8 is the same as "for all men fall short of the glory of God." 1 John 1:9 is how to become born again. You speak out of both sides of your mouth. Or is it just that Calvinism believes that 1 John 1:8 is a born again Christian, and you HAVE TO parrot them. Robot???

I think that if Biden institutes another situation where the saints are forbidden to go to church, that it would be expedient for us to say that we must obey God rather than men (Acts of the Apostles 4:19-20; Acts of the Apostles 5:29);

For God has said in His word that we are not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together but to exhort one another daily and all the more as we see the day approaching (Hebrews 10:25).

Absolutely do we obey God or man when it comes to matters of faith. There is only one right answer to that questions as we see in the lives of the Apostles who were imprisoned, tortured and finally killed for their uncompromising faith in Christ.

Nobody likes to talk to me, lol.
I have enjoyed all of our conversations and they have been conducted in a very respectful, civil and polite manner Nancy. Even though we may disagree on some things we are respectful of each others beliefs and do not makes things personal. I appreciate that very much.

Well, THAT explains a lot!!! LOL
BTW- I'm sorry for making things personal with you today about healing, that was not nice and I ask you to forgive me for offending you. I will just opt out of those kinds of discussions with you because I know we see things differently with the gifts. So once again I'm sorry.
