As I've said before I'm not making any kind of blanket statement about voting or not voting, and my comments about this aren't directed at any individual here. The point I'm making is that we all as believers need to watch our hearts, that we aren't putting our hopes and trust in anything or...

Friendship with the world (aka compromise the gospel)....to fight a common 'enemy'. Except that is enmity with God.

You have a Catholic point of view....are you Catholic? Outsourcing justice to God more like, because He said to leave room for HIS wrath. Meantime believers are to show forth the mercy of Christ.

Governments are of the world. Born again believers, the born-of-the-Spirit church of Jesus Christ is not of this world. Are you Catholic, Wrangler?

That is God's business, raising and lowering or judging kings and kingdoms etc. And He will use one kingdom to judge or conquer another. Not our business as believers. We are to go into "war zones" armed with the healing balm of Christ. Are you Catholic by any chance?

God gave the job of "justice" to government, not to the church. We as the church are not to take whips or other weapons and go hurt people with them. Paul wrote under inspiration of the Holy Spirit that our weapons are not carnal but mighty in GOD (ie, in His Spirit). Jesus was chastising and...

By all means pray and intercede for government leaders and do what good you can. But I don't see how we can have ALL our hopes and affections on two places at once. Jesus said we can't serve two masters.

Within the Temple.......within the "church" and His own people......rebuking and disciplining His own. That is not how He (and we) are to deal with the world. You have not been rightly taught....no surprise these days. The RCC had this thing called "crusades", they sent knights and soldiers...

You apparently have no idea what I'm hoping for either.....I'm not hoping for evil. But the bible says our hopes and affections are to be ABOVE in any case.....true?

No this world is appointed to wrath, not appointed for improvement, sorry. As it was in the days of Noah so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man. Noah saved souls OUT OF THE WORLD before the world got judged. He didn't make the world a "better place". Those who are saved are in the...

That is speaking of settling disputes within the church, amongst believers. Not the world.

Jas 1:20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

Does the bible say this world is going to become a better place or does it say transgression is coming to the full? But hypothetically if it were going to become better, the only way to do that would be to go into all the world and make more disciples, baptizing them in the name of Christ...

Doesn't it seem as though the restrainer has been taken away and devils are having more free reign now? People who have not the Lord are filling up with demons these days. The end time battle is heating up.

Nobody has to stay silent. By all means speak the truth in love. Rebuke what needs rebuking. But we are to be salt and light through the gospel. When Jesus warned about the salt losing its saltiness He wasn't talking about political activism.

Brother, it's not my intention to get people upset, but I think it would be best for each one to ask God what does He mean by worship. As believers who know the bible and know the Lord, is God is going to withhold judgment from a nation and church that hasn't acknowledged its sins and repented...

And brother just this evening I happened to see a little clip of a very recent interview with Fox News (post assassination attempt) where DT says he believes good people go to heaven and bad people go to hell. Hmmm....that shows us where he is in regard to faith. That is not in line with the...

Of course. Anyone is entitled to see anything as they wish, no? Including me. I'm not accusing any individual here of anything, but what I see of the church in general is not good so strongly advise everyone to examine and guard their hearts. I am just a dumb sheep who believes the Lord...

Vigorous debate used to be considered a good thing. As long as people don't forget basic good manners.

Unfortunately many are worshiping Trump, and it isn't trolling to say so. That is honestly how I see it and I say it out of concern, not to cause an argument. And it's not a political statement either......I'm much more concerned with the spiritual state of the church than the political...
