He inherited a mess from his predecessor and has only a certain amount of power.
That is a blatant falsehood. Biden did not inherit a mess, but he created a COLOSSAL MESS from day one. So if you are trying to root for Biden, then you have decided to ignore all the facts. But even those idiots who voted for him are seriously regretting their mistakes.

Christian nationalism is the belief that the American nation is defined by Christianity and that the government must act to keep it that way. The New World Order is an emerging world government that will eventually take over. What will America choose?

America’s Choice: A Christian Nation or Part of the New World Order?
We already know what the world, not just America will choose. Those of us who are separate from the world will be gathered at harvestime...separated from the tares...sifted and refined and prepared and ready to meet Jesus.
And that prophesy is already in the fulfillment phase...it isn't fully complete but it's steadily increasing in speed as if someone hit the fast forward button on the remote.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus, Come quickly!

When do you think this would take place?
When all hope is gone.
When there is no faith left in the land.
When the world has turned it's back on God and forgotten him.

It's sooner than we think.
But I don't feel despair because I believe in God's promises.
There was the world before the flood, the present age, and that which was to come.
I believe we are in that which was to come but haven't seen it manifested yet.
The spirit is strong but the flesh is weak.

Perhaps Noah would of felt despair watching the world disappear around him.
But he believed in God's promise.
And a new world began.
Joshua gave the people options of whom they would follow and worship:

Jos 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Because the Lord is past/present/future always.
But man is temporal and carnal and have power for a space of time.
The Lord is eternal without restriction of space and time.
But they had a choice.. Will you follow Adam and Enoch, and Methuselah, and Noah?
Will you follow the laws of the land your in at this present time?
Or will you follow the Lord knowing that he has much better things in store than what is behind or standing in the present.
We are always seeking higher ground. Always seeking another country, another home.
But somehow, we're still here. And I believe that's the way it's supposed to be.
God made this earth for man. The earth is our inheritance. God made it so it would provide everything man needed for both survival and praise.

When?
When the good Lord decides to send the rain.
Noah knew a storm was coming. He was given plenty of warning.
But that day and hour it began to rain, he knew not until the first drop fell.
drip.. drip.. drip... FLOOD
We see the signs, we know the times. All we can do is prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
I know God will see us through..
if we have faith.

that was a good question
:D
Hugs
Maybe someday we will know the answer

President Biden is not God nor a dictator. He inherited a mess from his predecessor and has only a certain amount of power. He is opposed by a Republican-controlled Senate that clearly is obstructing President Biden's efforts to make things better for all of us.

You wrote that you are on a fixed disability income, and the prices of your trash removal, telephone, car insurance, gasoline, and food have all increased, while you are still at the same income you have been at for over 2 years now. Don't you think that those companies are trying to increase their profits while you suffer? After all, that is what corporations do. If the Republicans weren't supported by those for-profit corporations and were more interested in helping those on fixed incomes, things might change. But no...

Clearly, you have swallowed the Republican "Kool-Aid", so there is no point in continuing this discussion.

It's too bad that you didn't end your post with: I have hope, that humanity will be able to overcome the obstacles of division and hatred that are tearing us all apart. I have faith that God is in control and we need to only trust in him. Otherwise we could have ended in agreement, but no... you didn't.
And communism is the answer how? If we all stopped getting paid, should we keep working for nothing? No one should charge any one for their work. Since that seems to be the issue. Any one who works should be free to just take anything they want. Those who don't work don't get anything. How long do you think people would be safe and happy in that situation?

You say people should not even place a limit on what they take. Since work has no value, as long as you work a little, you could take everything you want, no?

Do you think some will take everything so they can honestly give it away later? If they are giving it away, then they should not take it in the first place. Taking it to give away is not the point of taking something. The point in taking something for nothing is because you worked. But we won't put a price on your work, so there is no limit on what you can take. You cannot get paid for work, you can only take what you want. Those who work more, don't get more. The point is those who work can take whatever they want. Those who don't work, don't get anything. They cannot take anything, because they are not able to work. Nothing is given away nor given at all. That is the point of communism.

In theory every one works. That should be enough to produce everything taken, no? Obviously wages are too easily abused, so they have to be eliminated. Surely we are not so greedy as to only take what we need, otherwise it just ends up in the trash, making more work.

What do you trust more? The value of something, which is a wage, or trusting that humans are not greedy and wasteful?

It is the government that takes away with absolutely nothing to show for it. That is your fixed pension that is worthless, ie the government giving you what they took from others.

Aunty Jane, I would lay my life down for my country and God Jehovah and my Savior Christ, I’m sorry but I’ll die that way, turning my back on my country would be like shooting me in the head, I’d rather have that done than be a turncoat coward.
Why do you think that you have to be a turncoat? Obeying God makes a person the best citizen a country can ever have. We have to be law abiding, honest, hard working and considerate of others, doing good deeds whenever we see a need to do so. As far as I know, that describes you already.....
ok


If God says we must love our neighbor as ourselves and Jesus said it is ‘one’ of the greatest commandments, we have one other command that comes first....that is, to “love Jehovah with our WHOLE heart, mind and strength.” That means we must obey Jehovah *first*......not our country, because all government is part of this world....the one Jesus told us to be NO PART of.
We can’t divide our “heart, mind and strength” and only give Jehovah half of what we should...and what he deserves.
If we love anything more than we love God, then we cannot call ourselves Christians.
You will die supporting the wrong thing out of a misdirected sense of loyalty? Is it worth it? Would you sacrifice your everlasting life by supporting something that has no support from God? I can only ask why?
dunno

Aunty Jane, I’ll never give up my Patriotism, I don’t think God would mind as we are one of the major Christian countries left.
You remove all the western propaganda from Russia, and you will better understand who Vladimir Putin is

He denounces homosexuality and it's written in law protecting society, no LGBT marching in the streets waving flags for the most part, no homosexuality in classroom curriculum

Putin has written into law, marriage is between male and female, it's in their constitution

Putin is for family values, and incentives are promoted for large families in Russia, Putin is aligned with the Church on the family, and conservative values in general

Putin is fighting the western evils that they call satanic in Russia, and I agree 100%, Romania and Hungary have followed Russias lead in making laws against homosexuality, gender identity, and the woke agenda

For those that dare to take a look on the other side of the western propaganda, the short clip below will say what the west is silent on concerning Putin's Russia?

In a world ruled by satan, there are no good guys. (1 John 5:19) They all have the same commander.

The Russian Orthodox Church is who dictates to Russia’s leader. They persecute other Christians and throw them in jail as criminals having to endure long pre-trial detention and a legal system that is a church supported joke. Propaganda works. But human rights violations mean nothing to them.

On one side there is too much freedom and on the other side, too much restriction....where is the balance? The truth is there is no balance because the devil manipulates both, and enjoys the conflict.
Are you his dupes? Is he laughing at you as he takes you down with him? :(

Human Rights Violations?

They protect the rights of children and families from the evils of homosexuals and mixed up sick liberals, that wish to push their untold evil on the population in Russia, I support Putins actions 200%!

In my book, Putting is a hero, protecting the children and families from the evils of Satan, just as the video clip describes

To think sick liberals in America are pushing CRT, homosexualuty, gender identity and reassignment surgery on innocent kids?

Your call for human rights is more like a jail cell for adults engaging in child abuse, and that's being nice!

Human rights organisations, what are they ?
Truly if one bothers to look into the so called Human rights organisations, what is it that they are truly peddling ?
Where did they come from ? who created such and why ? Are they Socialist ! Marxist ? Satanist !

Now all this Human rights sounds fine and how could one not agree on Human rights ? but the devil is in the detail if you understand what their agenda truly is.

But it's hard to expose such a topic to daft people who are in the majority, that such is not as it all comes across as. such People idolise such a organisation as human rights, so such becomes another god to such fools, just like climate change becomes idolised and another god that must not be challenged, all is taboo!

So questioning such things is taboo nowadays ! Now again then, how did such make such things taboo ?

As to all things that were Taboo, when I was a child and growing up in the 60's, I and the majority looked down on anything that was Taboo ? one was regarded as a complete total moron and dismissed totally. but as the years went by it was TV and radio that worked to create such a culture and then Governments started pushing such nonsense as well and this got stronger and stronger peddling all such brainwashing the majority, such is done all the time, but done in a way that the majority just do not pickup on such that is being peddled, it's trend setting etc etc

Coming from a basic TV add say ? now one has an agenda they want to instil into the sheep ! Ok, XYZ is promoting that they are number one in property Law ? and this add goes on for years ! but if they truly were as good as they say why do they need to advertise millions of dollars a year ? let alone is the claim true ? No ! They are most likely the basic of base yobbo one could get.

I seen a Tiler advertise, Large floor specialist ! Haha now to one who knows no better that may come across as OMG a specialist ! but to a tiling tradesman he would laugh at such a stupid claim, such is the lowest rank one could claim in fact, as no one specialises in large floors at all.
But BS works a treat for most and they lap it all up !
Even if I being a Master in my trade points such things out, you can not beat the advertisement claim ! They totally believe the advertisement claim ! but in a court of Law the dupe will not have a leg to stand on.

I can point it out that the TV commercial is a one of great deception and go to the TV station or print Media and point the deception out to them all and fact is they have no regard for the facts of the truth at all, they are making money off such and that's all they care about in fact and they show total disregard to all the people they are misleading.
If the advertisement sounds to good to be true ? people will buy into it 100%. and one may challenge that becomes the monster !

Look here, a bathroom leaky shower Co claims 10 year warranty on a repair but a New House only has 6 years warranty ? but the Warranty is only regarding a product warranty, nothing other in fact. So the owner of house is totally mislead and this type of cunning goes on in everything you can name, even in Political debates etc, such is an art form of con-artist ! getting you to buy into such.
Where there is big money to be made even Government's turn a blind eye to such, Cancer cure anyone ? forget it ! their is to much money to be made out of such, just as it was with AIDS so they demanded to let it spread in fact, The Industry is so big that with Covid the Industry could dominate over the Governments of the world easy as pie.
Yet bring the facts up about any and all, well that is all Taboo.

You is all being mislead ! big time.
But what did Jesus say about this world, that it was of deceptions and delusions, not to mention I believe Him 100% that this is true.

America’s Choice: A Christian Nation or Part of the New World Order?


The problem has and always will be the governments are meant to be for all residents living in any particular nation whether Christian or non-Christian. It's not entirely up to the government to decide which direction a nation goes, but it's up to the people, and then it's up to the government whether to listen to what the people want or not.

If you want government to change their ways in the United States, the change has to start within the Church, then onto the rest of the people, the people then have to change, for the government to change.

Other alternative is have a Xi Jinping style dictatorship, and say "nope this is it, you aren't living that way in this country, you either believe in this or you don't, you cannot practice that other religion, or you go to jail, get shot or get deported and I don't care if the 70% or even 80% of the people don't agree with me."

We cannot force our beliefs onto others, and governments cannot force their beliefs onto others either.

So called human rights ! you are correct good buddy, they do support the rights of all the creeps, it's a creep show of human rights ? It's a freed show as well !

What I seen of Putin in relation to the Law in Russia in regards to queers is nothing wrong at all and anyone who rejects what I seen of Putin's call on such is a total lowlife.
But the MSM only totally slandered what Putin was truly on about. Putin was only on a position so that such creeps could not force themselves in such regards on young children in fact ! And on this issue our Governments were having a tantrum about such as Putin's position on such and out right lies towards Putin truly was saying. If you went back in time to say before 1990's in Australia what Putin said 99% of Australians would agree 100% with him in fact and the other 1% would be deranged sexual predators. You could not promote such deranged depraved nonsense back in pre 1990 openly.

I have seen such smartarse boys in their 30's taking so deprave regard of women and totally threating manner back to me. they will have sex with anyone regardless and it has nothing at all to do with Love or regards or respect. I think it's because they have taken bad drugs and a culture of Schools etc is a Sick disgrace.

We cannot force our beliefs onto others, and governments cannot force their beliefs onto others either.
The duty of government is to protect the freedom and liberty of it's people to express themselves spiritually according to their conscience, all the while protecting others from the evil choices people make.
The difficulty comes when do many people have abandoned truth for lies, even in the church, and God has left them to their delusions, and of they fail to repent, the inevitable result is judgement. These judgements however will also be misconstrued, and in their delusions will claim the judgements of God are falling because of the evil of the other side.
We are in such a parlous state now. Calling evil good, and good evil, is a result of a general decline in the church and refusal of the church to teach good sound biblical truth. In discarding the laws of God as the only true arbiter of faith and morals, the world in general has taken the more evil view that there is no longer any restraint on what they do, and there will therefore neither be any repercussions.
If the law of God was nailed to the cross and no longer exists to guide and convict Christians as the standard of righteousness, what hope does the world have when the church no longer presents the law to them as God's standard of righteousness, exposing sin, and therefore revealing their need of a Savior?

We can also look at it as evil has always been in the world, ever since Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the tree God told them not to, and then Cain murders Abel, not long after God floods the earth because men becomes so wicked, after Noah the decline continues, many turn their backs on God, Israelites are slaves of Egyptians for 400 years, God sets the Israelites free, but then again they fall away from God, make idols and worship them, pass their children through the fire. Again and again the world falls, Jesus comes, many follow Him, Jews and Romans then persecute and crucify Him, then we got the slaughter of Christians not long after Jesus's ascension, then the Gospel spreads rapidly after many Christians were being persecuted and getting killed, and then comes the dark ages, lots of violence and murder, and then the massacres of the blacks and mistreatment of others with a different skin colour, this was not all too long ago, the stolen generation goes up to something like the 1970s, where Aboriginal kids were being taken away from their families and this was happening in Australia "when Australia was meant to be a Christian majority nation", but many treated others in ways that they shouldn't have, similar things happened in the United States.

So morality has been on the downward spiral ever since Adam fell really, even though their were times of revival, many men still continued to fall after.

Then some may ask what is the point of a revival? Salvation, reignition for God, it's a type of grace God gives for many generations, even though many have fallen away, many have been saved from the depths of hell through these Holy Spirit revivals by the grace of God and entered the gates of Heaven. And we are in need of another revival for this generation especially in the Western world, the recent statistics show that a large majority of young Australians do not believe in God.

One thing I know, Putin has put stop on the sick liberal woke agenda in Russia, with Romania and Hungary following his lead "A Good Thing"!

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

That isn't so cut and dried when read in isolation and at face value. As you know, there have been numerous abysmal rulers in this world, who are a very long way from being ministers for God. Even so, evil rulers have been used to judge unrighteousness in order to bring certain people's back to God. I can think of several examples, Babylon destroying Jerusalem and taking Israel into captivity, and then they themselves were judged because of the indigenous manner in which they actors toward others... They were subsequently routed by Medi-Persia who in their time were destroyed by Greece. So who do you submit to? By submitting are you condoning their rule? Are you agreeing with their unrighteous judgments upon their enemies, and if you protest, are you in rebellion as the Papacy charged the reformers, and still does?
