The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of election integrity in Arizona, stating that voters who register without proof of citizenship will be rejected. The court's decision emphasizes that only U.S. citizens should vote in elections. Arizona officials praised the ruling, criticizing the "radical left" for opposing it and calling on Congress to ensure only lawful citizens vote in federal races. This decision upholds a key provision of Arizona's election laws.

The law is one thing. Upholding and enforcing the law, quite another. Just look at what the Democrats are doing with the immigration laws. They aren't being enforced. We can only hope. The problem with The Marxists (Democrats) is that they have no morals and will absolutely do anthing to gain and maintain power. Anything.

Yep and as long as the "church" continues to teach false doctrine... the Lord will let this nice slide right in to destruction.

Does anyone else expect democrats to campaign for non-citizens to vote illegally. Then they will throw anyone caught voting illegally to the wolves.

I think they're allowed now in states like California. The only thing required to vote is a drivers license and illegals are allowed drivers licenses.

Well, the only Church that doesn't teach at least one heresy is the first Church, founded by Christ: The Catholic Church. All others have strayed in some form or fashion from at least one original doctrine Christ gave the Apostles, who gave it to their successors, the bishops, who did likewise.

Was purest at the very beginning being taught directly by the Lord's apostles.
Afterwards came SAVAGE WOLVES in sheep's clothes even in the first and second centuries.

Paul says so here, about after his departure.

The Ephesian Elders Exhorted​

17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church. 18 And when they had come to him, he said to them: “You know, from the first day that I came to Asia, in what manner I always lived among you, 19 serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears and trials which happened to me by the plotting of the Jews; 20 how I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house, 21 testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. 22 And see, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there, 23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me. 24 [c]But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my [d]race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

25 “And indeed, now I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, will see my face no more. 26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent[e] of the blood of all men. 27 For I have not [f]shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God. 28 Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church [g]of God which He purchased with His own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking [h]perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. 31 Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.

32 “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified

Still happens to this day.

Yes, the Church has been battling Satan and his minions since the beginning. Heresy after heresy after heresy. The first 500 years saw the Christological heresies, i.e., who was Christ? What was His nature? Even the Apostles! Judas Iscariot betrayed Our Lord. Peter denied Him three times. The rest, except for John, deserted Him in His our of need like cowards. But that's the Church! Jesus hand-picked every one!

The good thing, though, is that Jesus promised that the gates of hell would never prevail against His Church. (Matt. 16:18) If the Church ever declared a heretical doctrine, then the gates of hell would most assuredly have prevailed over the Church. But Jesus is faithful to His word and He protects it from doing so. Not by the merits of the individuals in the Church, but by Divine decree and protection on His part.

In Australia you have to become a Citizen to be able too Vote and prove it !
If you vote twice you will be caught and fined for sure.
Everyone has to Vote here or you may be stung by the Law. this does not happen tho if the Vote is won easy by one side but if it is close then you will be stung.
Postal Votes come in and up to a week or so are counted. more people are Postal Voting nowadays tho, because of COVID.
My Communist mate has always postal Voted and got this done with on the first day that he can, why well he can not handle dealing with the count down to Vote. he does not work or go anywhere to far from home ever. big feers about anything, women, having kids, it's all too much for him.

Just a reminder, the church is the people, not the building.

 

[Spyder]

Just a reminder, the church is the people, not the building.

I'd say "the building" can be rephrased "the denomination." When denominations battle each other - they are not "the" church at all. The church that Yeshua initiated is made of those who follow Him and not some pastor or theologian. Unfortunately, the denominations are walking the wide path.

We bear good fruit as God has ordained that we will.
John 15
15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 17 These things I command you, that you love one another.

Matthew 7:17, Jesus says, A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

That one thing Jesus said absolutely tells us that if God has saved us, we will bear only good fruit.
NOT a mixture of bad and good fruit together... A bad tree is cut down and thrown into the fire of hell.

How many of you will argue with Christ?
The old man of the flesh only bears bad fruit, while the new man of the Spirit only bears good fruit.
This means eternal salvation is an eternal redemption.

Bearing good fruit is a visible witness to the world of our being saved.
And bearing good fruit is that we experience the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
Fruits here are due to God at work within us, so that we as the good trees bear the good fruits.
Some bear more, some less, but all of God's people bear good fruit, not bad fruit. It is impossible for God's people, His family, to bear bad fruit.

You Will Know Them by Their Fruits​

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

I Never Knew You​

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Build on the Rock​

24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

28 And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching, 29 for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

 

[Scott Downey]

Even so the fruits of the Holy Spirit, this is talking about the good fruit.
Those fruits of the Holy Spirit are juxtaposed with the works *fruits of the flesh.

Those who have the fruits of the Spirit, only they are saved.
Those who have the works of the flesh are damned.

. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

You must be born again of the Spirit, or you're the bad tree and you are bearing bad fruit, you will be cut down by the Holy Angels and cast into the fire.

Galatians 5

16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: [d]adultery, [e]fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, [f]murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 [g]gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

This ruling will be meaningless to the blue states who will just ignore it.

 

[Scott Downey]

This ruling will be meaningless to the blue states who will just ignore it.

This is about the Rule of Law and agreeing to abide by the Law.
If they ignore the Law, they show themselves as Lawless Ones.
And illegitimate rulers, their authority to govern is gone.

We got lots of lawlessness going on all the time now.

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age​

3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for [a]all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, [b]pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

 

[Dan Clarkston]

This is about the Rule of Law and agreeing to abide by the Law.

Which is exactly why they will ignore the ruling.

And when they ignore the ruling nothing will be done about it since we are in the age of lawlessness as you have pointed out.

Some places allow non-citizens to vote in local elections but it is still illegal for state and federal elections.

While this is true it is potentially concerning. We have a secret ballot in the US and municipal, state, and federal positions may be on the ballot. There is no way to know if a non-citizen votes illegally in these places unless they get a special ballot. Then if they were cought they could claim that they didn't vote on the parts of the ballot they were not permitted to use.
