Deuteronomy 5:7-9

King James Version

7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

Revelation 9:20

King James Version

20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

Galatians 5:19-21

King James Version

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Exodus 20:3-6

King James Version

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Psalm 135:15-18

King James Version

15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.

Revelation 21:8

King James Version

8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Leviticus 19:4

King James Version

4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord your God.

Yes, we are to walk in the Spirit not the flesh. Idolatry is a work of the flesh.

Sin punishes itself Siddi.

No. Sin slays you. The bible doesn't tell you to abide in Christ for nothing.

Romans 7: 4-12
4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

1 Peter 1: 13-16
13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Matthew 3: 8-10
8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Revelation 3: 19-20
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Hebrews 3: 7-15
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

Luke 3: 8-9
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

The churches should Never have been tied into politcs at all .
Here, we disagree. The Bible talks about God being in all and through all. No reason to abandon Christ's influence in this most practical area, of how we should conduct ourselves in society.

If Christian principles are not guiding politics, then what guides it?

Big difference between praying for such leaders verses hoping in such leaders .
Have you ever wondered why christains on both sides
claiming to be christain co uld vote for harris
Or trump for that matter .
WHY is it some have avoided voting for any of them . HAVE you ever wondered or prayed about that one .
And then ask yourself a far more important question
WHY does this man also always go about allowing no false hope in any kind of universalism ecumenicalsim
But rather bodly declares OF the absolute dire need to have to BELEIVE ON JESUS and that no other
religoin is a way or path to GOD , but ONLY BY FAITH IN CHRIST .
CAUSE I darn sure dont see hardly any doing that anymore . But what i do see is
MEN HOPING IN MEN, and men using the NAME of GOD to promote a deadly agenda
and for a vote . You ever wondered why i never voted for these men .
And before i hear the common response of voting for the lesser of two evil .
Friend REMEMBER this , DECEPTOIN IS EVIL and BOTH are heavily doing so
using the name of GOD , yes the blessed name of JESUS CHRIST
but leading us into an ecumenical harlots pot of fornication . You see
when a man has HIS HOPE IN GOD and not in men , That ONE wont be decieved . KEEP that in mjnd . d

I said neither. You said get involved. The church should get involved in politics. On the top 20 issues of the day, everyone should know what the Bible teaches, where the church stands.

Let’s take debt, for instance. If the Bible and church offer no guidance, they are useless in such moral considerations.

Yes. Anyone can make an appeal to authority, especially when that authority is silent.

People can be wrong in applying Biblical principles. The church should offer public rebuke. In the case that ‘both sides’ fall short of the glory of God, that is NOT the end but the beginning of politics.

Politics is not primarily about the personal virtue or vice of the candidate; it’s primarily about public policy. The 2024 election was about us continuing as a republic, being ruled by law - or not, enforcing immigration law or not. What says the church?

Will God punish idolaters?

Perse’ ? No
Judge ? Yes

Fact is: An Idolator is Not “With God”, nor “God WITH the Idolator.”

End Result:
Idolator is Judged and Given (a Just Judgement)… Separation Forever From God, AS the Idolator Chose.

Glory to God, Just is He.,

Then prepare to wail wrangler. cause in essence you just said a truth . the church SHOULD OFFER public rebuke .
KINDA ODD i aint seeing such a thing
and rather many follow a sensual ecumeincal judge not correct not harlot who has even made
void the dire necessity to HAVE had to beleive on JESUS . You so hoped up on trump
just like many are hoped up on this progressive liberal evil on the other side
THAT neither one of you or yalls sides can even see TRUTH . nope all you all see is
WHO can give us world peace , who can give us our best life now . You all are being decieved by your own
hearts desires , which I KNOW are in men of this world , NOT GOD . so pray about that one for a bit .

then prepare to wail as well . because You are right IDOLARTY is not WITH GOD nor GOD with the IDALATOR .
and yet many have made an idol out of a false love that has indeed rejected GOD , TRUTH
and makes void even the dire need to HAVE to beleive on JESUS .
Many have made MEN their idols , a false sensual love their idol .
remember when i told us that satan can say God is love
but beware his version . people of both sides should have heeded that message .
CAUSE both this wicked evil progressive liberal and conservative nar led realm
ARE GOING DOWN the same path . preached differently , BUT THE SAME PATH none the less .
THIS world is making a false love TO BE ITS IDOL and ITS GOD .
BIBLE UP CHURCH , before ITS FOREVER TOO LATE . ya men been duping ya for years .

the twenty twenty four election
was about one thing .
The same thing as was the twenty twenty
TO DECIEVE those who sit under such .
Harris cannot do to the conservative evangelical realm what TRUMP and his vance and their interreligious dialgoue can .
WHEN i said the most deceptive wolf is one that comes from within , OH BUT IT IS .
and as the left has decieved its side
so trump decieves his own .
You are all being decieved . And far be it for me NOT TO have tried to warn . cause i actually
DO desire good for the people and not their destruction .
ITS WHY i warn BOTH SIDES and dont pick and choose either one .
HERE is whom and what i choose .
CHOOSE YE THIS DAY THE LORD GOD ALL MIGHTY , HIS CHRIST , AND ALL BIBLICAL DOCTRINE
whereby one may grow wise unto salvation through faith in Christ .
BLESSED is the one whose hope be in GOD
cursed be the one whose hope be in men , And do beware for many men DO USE HIS NAME but lead astray .

However its not too late to repent of it .

Already Saved by, through, of The Lord Gods Offering and my Acceptance.

No “IF” possibility affects the Already Saved.
