What passage of scripture are you alluding to? It does matter. Without civil government there would be lawlessness and chaos.

I stand by what I wrote. A non-Jewish Messiah is an obvious counterfeit, having not been sent by God and no ability to save.

I have a humorous “slogan story” but I’ll save it for another time. (I shared it in a meeting with a “Christian” government leader and he did everything in his power thereafter to harm me. Unfortunately for him, I had in my possession a hand written document “buried on the farm” that one of his...

The Messiah couldn’t have been born in any other culture. He had to be a descendant of King David and from the tribe of Judah.

“We must all learn to hear what we do not like. The question is not, ‘Is it pleasant?‘ but, ‘Is it true?’” - C.H. Spurgeon
