Your post is Bingo and bullseye brother. Amen! :vgood: :Bestest:

No, I'd call that church business brother, not politics. I think I'd call King Herod a political leader, but Jesus didn't have anything to say to him that I know of, and He didn't try to rebel or take his place as king either.....John the Baptist rebuked him though, and he was the last old...

Praise the Lord for your salvation! We are strangers/pilgrims in a strange world. But just try to picture how the early church were in their world at the time.....persecuting religious on the one hand and utterly pagan debauched world on the other hand. It's actually for our spiritual good...

As Big Boy Johnson has asked several times....where are those scrips that command believers to be involved in politics? I don't know if you are familiar with where in at least one of the gospels, it talks about how the people tried to crown Jesus king.......hard to think of being more...

I don't know.....Jesus was raised up in God's righteousness for the revealing of His mercy. It doesn't seem out of line that He would raise up someone in His (God's) righteousness to reveal His righteous wrath. Anyway, not something I will argue over....could hardly believe it myself and I...

I guess it depends on how much and how, and how far you are willing to go to participate in the political process. How much one is bound up in it all.

His commands are not burdensome sister, it's just a matter of yielding to the spirit, which the flesh sometimes hates to do because the flesh thinks that is lame. It is troubling when Christians consider political things to be a holy war. That is a "Catholic" mindset.....aka of the flesh. Our...

Don't forget about the saints who were resurrected in the time of Jesus. I can't parse everything, it's an overwhelming book to me...but things in Rev are not quite the way we have been thinking or were taught.

We are IN Christ....did you not read that......if He is dwelling in us then we ARE in Him. Did you think that was literal about leaving the foundation? You're mistaken again. We are to be building upon it and out of it and plumb with it. And of course it is often necessary to talk about the...

No that isn't my attitude, and yes I know it sounds like foolishness. Careful brother..

No it doesn't. We are clearly instructed to not be yoked with unbelievers but to come out from among them, for what fellowship does Christ have with Belial? Friendship with the world is enmity with God. The "adults" in the airplane have to make sure they have their own oxygen mask on...

What if we are in the mil. now brother? Hasn't Christ been ruling & reigning ever since His resurrection when all power in heaven and earth was given to Him at that time? That is why the scripture says Christ must rule until all enemies have been put under His feet. All things have been put...

Oh I see brother, that is certainly a good question and I wondered about that too. But it is a righteous thing for God to judge the world and chastise His church. He is the one sending the strong delusion and for just reasons. He will judge the world in righteousness and judgment begins with...

Here is where I believe we need to distinguish/separate the church from state/government. Distinguish between the holy and the profane (common). It's hard to reconcile the kind of sword that has been given by God in His sovereign rule to governments, and the very different kind of "sword" that...

Did anyone "see" the Lord the other times He visited the nation in wrath? Many saw Him when He was walking among the people and doing miracles and teaching. But "Blessed are you who have not seen, and yet believe."

Faith in God/Christ is not a religious opinion. Only those who don't know what it is to know Him by faith would think so. I do believe and am blessed to experience at times, just as the BIBLE teaches, that we are to walk in the spirit, not in the flesh. I don't believe in a man-made doctrine...

Sister, it's in every individual's heart who their god or God is. Overall, it isn't looking good. Are believers in large numbers stopping their sinning and putting away their idols and fearing God again? If they were, we would be seeing the outward circumstances improve instead of getting...

Doesn't your pastor teach to be separate from the world? The world is secular......this whole unbelieving world of lost souls and man made institutions.....is secular. Our job/mandate given by Jesus Himself is to go and make disciples, that is all. The example of Noah is to save a few souls...

I'm afraid it does for some....maybe many, or most, I dont know, God knows. Hope you will listen to this donkey brother, and the other voices here who are trying to talk Christian sense. Up this path waits a heap of trouble....unless we turn around and repent.

Amen, and repentance is the solution.
