Some lean on feeling some lean on the Lord
We are not the same j.s.
Thats true, we are not the same.
Is it possible to be part of the voting to put a man in charge n claim your not of the world?
Is it possible being apart of voting to put a man in charge and then state one puts Their trust in YH?
So youre saying that everyone that votes is not putting their trust in God?, i think youre getting a little confused here, voting for the lesser of 2 evils doesnt mean youre putting them above God, it just means given the choice then 1 is more in line with Gods Justice and compassion than the other, for example, 2 candidates, 1 says they will slash overseas aid and cut taxes for the wealthy, one says theyll increase Overseas aid and pay for it by taxing the rich, whos most in line with Christs message to feed the hungry, house the homeless, minister to the sick, help the poor and oppressed, or 2 candidates, 1 wants to increase military spending and cut domestic social programmes, the other wants to cut military spending and increase social programmes, whos most in line with Christs teachings of pacifism and help for those in need, or 2 candidates, 1 wants to implement a brutal anti immigration policy, the other offers a policy of increased immigration and increased help for migrants, whos most in line with Christs command to "Welcome the Stranger"?, its not a question of elevating one above God, just choosing the lesser evil but all the while understanding that both operate a corrupt and evil system that will only end when Christ returns. I also find it a bit odd that you liked Medico Bravos post, an overtly political post in favour of President Trump when you claim to disdain politics and those that vote.
You also talk a lot about maintaining "order", and that this is Gods will for the world, now ill contend that later, but if you want order then youre going to have to have rules, and if you want rules youre going to have to have legislators to pass those laws and a police system to enforce those laws, in short a Government. So youll need people in power and unless you support a dictatorship youll need a vote, so how does that comply with your disdain of the political system?.
And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times
I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect
and that is the important message, "do not conform to the world, " do not take on its values, although we ALL do, but we as Christians know thats wrong, we see the greed, selfishness, hate, Lust and envy, the evil that drives the world and while ALL of us are in it and tainted by it we strive not to conform to its values.
We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
Agreed, although which of us "know" that we're from God, we can only act as Christ commanded and pray for Gods forgiveness, Grace and Mercy for our manifold sins.
I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem a horrible thing: They commit adultery and walk in lies; they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness. They are all of them unto Me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.”
And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
You do accept that you are in this world dont you, that you are a wretched sinner in the sight of God and that you are in need of his Grace, Mercy and forgiveness for your many sins, because it sometimes seems that you see yourself as sort of hovering above us mere mortals dispensing Gods wisdom and Justice.
