This mess began in the garden. Voting is very unscriptural. Not true, as you admittedly voted for mere men to continue cracking the whip over your head. Now that is the takeaway of this thread.

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath...

and Neither does the word "God" appear in the entirety of the Manifesto of the Communist Party. Of course it can be. An omission (a failure to act or a missing fact) can definitely be evidence. In both law and daily life, the absence of something expected can be just as powerful as an active...

Just coincidence.

Jesus didn't come to start a religion. Your ignorance is no excuse. Men in bondage make poor witnesses. It was unbelievers who derogatorily called the followers of Christ, "Christians." How and when was the word "Christian" first used? The term 'Christian' was used to describe a follower of...

duhhh ...which is precisely what I have done, but you still don't get it. Indeed. But all is fair to the accuser of the brethren. Propaganda Techniques #12. Simplification (Stereotyping) Reduces complex issues or entire groups of people into simple, oversimplified, and often inaccurate...

The idea that Jesus came to start a religion is a popular modern concept, but the Book of James actually endorses "pure religion": If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before...

They already are "being ruled by Atheists and Satanists." I'll give you but one example. The word "God" does not even appear in the US Constitution. Scripture tells us to test people, to see if they are of God or not. 1 John 4:1, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits...

The State??? No man can serve two masters. RCC theology. You possess loyalty to Caesar??? No man can serve two masters. Now that is absolutely true. So why would believers align themselves with the godless State???

"...for your country's defense"? Care to elaborate on that claim? Are you trying to draw a distinction between "personal" defense and "national" defense?

Enemies are enemies. What do you possess that belongs to Caesar? WHY would you possess any-thing that is Caesar's while knowing that a rendering to Caesar will thus be demanded of you? The result of such double mindedness is confusion and destruction. That is why God makes it a hotbed of coals...

I have yet to meet a sinless "pastor." Forgive the pastor. And your baptism was between you and God - not between you and the pastor. Focus on the reason and not the circumstance.

Still beating that tired drum? Rather, learn the meaning of brackets. Your problem remains: You do not discern between physical and spiritual. Hats protect no one spiritually. You are unable to process anything that does not endorse your preconceptions. Selah. You have continually avoided...

What "other Christian brethren" would that be? Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. "President" who? Because you don't discern that "Christian" is a label used by those of the world to label those not of the world, you, like the...

...ad hominem indeed. As per English grammar rules, absolutely incorrect and, worse, you foist your opinion contrariwise to the copious posted scriptures. It’s not a sin to be wrong; it’s not even a sin to be grossly wrong. It is a sin, however, to refuse the reproof, the correction, when the...

Your opinion holds no import with the standard rules of English grammar. A simile is a literary device that directly compares two things to show the similarities between the two - a simile will include the words "like" or "as". - source "Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be...

This is the most important statement in the entire thread.

"Notice how the text in brackets was not part of the original quote but provided context to help the reader understand what was being discussed." - source "What are brackets? Brackets, [ ], show that text has been added to a quotation. They’re generally used by writers and editors to separate...

Ad hominem is the refuge of fools. And ignorance of the basic rules of standard English grammar is no excuse. What's "silly to think" is that one's opinion is canon. Rather, as per the scriptural imperatives posted earlier, the Holy Bible remains our final authority in all matters of faith and...
