The democrats force us to consume sexual immorality, it is in all their messaging. For one thing, this is being forced onto Christian families through school programs, wherever they can do that. And in cultural promotion. LGBTQ+ people have set their hopes on Kamala to further their various agendas.

I posted a video about Christian parents in California who had to sue the State because they weren't allowed to opt their 10 year old son out of transgender teachings.

They tried asking the teacher, then the principal. The principal told them the State was in charge.

And the school had the ten year olds buddy with Kindergarteners...to discuss the transgender book. So the older kids were brainwashing the younger kids. Crazy.

I voted too for these reasons. We are choosing between good and evil, taking a side. Truth against lies, morality against immorality. We have made decisions like this since Adam and Eve. Thank God He has allowed us to participate in the present and future plan.
Understand that this country has suffered a serious decline in morality and we are, in many ways, being punished for it. Will this country be healed, become great again? I am afraid to say, no. And this is my reasoning: We are approaching the Great Tribulation period, the judgment of the world as we know it and a coming new era, when Jesus, after he defeats evil, will restore all things. But more exciting is that our redemption draws near, we will receive new eternal bodies, be resurrected as Jesus was.
So it is all necessary and will end well. This increase of stress from many sources, wars, evils in all nations is expected because it is prophesied.
Fear not!
ROMANS 13:1-2 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.

What if the authority is evil and asks us to do something against God's will?
That would be a stipulation clause. Ultimately, the evil, wicked leader will encourage everyone to take the mark of the Beast ... otherwise we cannot buy or sell and we may starve! That is when we say NO! And unfortunately, we will suffer, judgment will come upon us, maybe even death - but that's okay, persevere to the end. Worse case scenario, we are captured by Islamic terrorists and they demand that we denounce our faith in Jesus or get our heads chopped off ( it's a reality in some countries folks ... and realize that the government just let in likely thousands of murdererous terrorists amoung the 10 million illegals). Again, your answer must be NO! Pick up your cross, keep the faith.

God is sovereign. He appoints the good leaders and bad leaders. So do not worry, He has decided the outcome.
Israel had good kings when they were faithful and obedient; but they also had bad kings when they weren't. God even caused other nations to defeat them, enslave them as punishment. Then after a time brought them back and restored them.
So we may be disappointed that the USA is being destroyed and that we will receive judgment, a bad leader ... Even Musk said this might be the last election, if Trumpndoes not win.
We are at the precipice. Frankly, there is no delaying God's plan, His timetable is on schedule. Trump will not save the world nor make America great again, but he would be a temporary respite, help us persevere with his fist in the air. I would rather us go through the Great Tribulation with Trump as a leader than have this cackling woman knucklehead take us further into this muck and mire! Can you imagine this clown as Commander in Chief of our military? Either way, the GT is coming, Jesus is coming. Your faith is and will be further tested. Hold on, it's gonna be stressful.

I am voting to protect:

(1) the human lives attached to women's wombs,

(2) the USA from illegally-entered criminals,

and (3) the USA from inflation that robs us of God's resources.
It is not so easy for me to apply my biblical world view with precision because of how both Federal and State governments have intruded into what should have been out of bounds for Civil Law. For example, at one time in recent years, Florida had the ban on abortion from 15 weeks forward. That was reasonable to me, ensoulment being at quickening. Then the extreme ban at 6 weeks was passed.

Yet the Amendment to the Florida Constitution that I was able to vote on Monday, was written so that I could not alter the 6-week ban without giving free reign for abortions up to time of birth. So, I had to vote against the Amendment and stay with what I consider meddling of some Christians in the personal affairs of other Christians through civil law, the 6-week ban.

1821, in Connecticut the first law against abortion came about in America, which was at quickening... It was in the 1860s that anti-abortion laws began to appear with frequency. It seems so much of liberal agitation, with democracy (mob rule) began to appear around the time of the War Between the States. What happened to freedom of religion when one theological view enforces its view upon others by civil law?

I do not believe the States were less sanctified at our founding than they are today. Keep in mind Ex. 21:22-24 LXX and commentary of Methodist Adam Clarke in the early 19th century, which gave the early view of abortion by most of the Reformation churches:

"And if two men strive and smite a woman with child, and her child be born imperfectly formed, he shall be forced to pay a penalty: as the woman's husband may lay upon him, he shall pay with a valuation. But if it be perfectly formed, he shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,..." (Exod 21:22-24 LXXE)

Adam Clarke - Verse 22. And hurt a woman with child] As a posterity among the Jews was among the peculiar promises of their covenant, and as every man had some reason to think that the Messiah should spring from his family, therefore any injury done to a woman with child, by which the fruit of her womb might be destroyed, was considered a very heavy offence; and as the crime was committed principally against the husband, the degree of punishment was left to his discretion. But if mischief followed, that is, if the child had been fully formed, and was killed by this means, or the woman lost her life in consequence, then the punishment was as in other cases of murder-the person was put to death; Ex 21:23.

That a human being, a person existed at conception was NOT the prevailing view of the body of Christ at the founding of America. Yet, Bruce, I ended up voting in the same way as you indicated that you voted, but it was not so easy a decision for me.

Migrant are the same Jesus loves them deeply like it or not.There is a huge population movement from the equator going into all countries.I don't see where all the prisons and mental hospitals were emptied and sent to the US its lies.Guess what every last one of them can be saved.The rich have no room for the poor anymore and despises them with their real Christian values.You want to help these ones but not those ones.Why because it might effect your life and that's a line that cannot be crossed by migrants today - how dare they look for a better life and expect others to help?You should count your blessings that you are not one of theses in need.Pure selfishness go ahead lock the gate.The rest of the world will try to help them every country has to take them in if its on Christian values.

Do you allow any Tom, Dick or Harry to just enter your home without your permission? Are you unChristian to have locks on your doors? Christians have every right to protect their space, and so do countries. To enter illegally makes one a criminal, who invites criminals into their home? The Bible even records where a nation has the right to regulate who comes through their country, much less to come in and setup housekeeping illegally.

"Israel then sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, ‘Let us pass through your land’; but the king of Edom would not listen. They also sent to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained at Kadesh. Then they journeyed through the wilderness, went around the land of Edom and the land of Moab, arrived on the east side of the land of Moab, and camped on the other side of the Arnon. They did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the boundary of Moab. Israel then sent messengers to King Sihon of the Amorites, king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, ‘Let us pass through your land to our country.’ But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory; so Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped at Jahaz, and fought with Israel." (Judg 11:17-20 NRSV)

God gave boundaries for the 12 Tribes, so if it is to be 'open borders', why have them?

A nation has a perfect right to allow or not allow entry to their land, or to cross their borders. Jerusalem itself had walls. Why? To keep the Jews in, or to keep illegals out?

A country without borders is no longer a country.

That is "Globalism"..
that is the "new world order".
That is Marxism.
That is the "Dictatorship of the Proletariat" as Marxism is clinically defined by : Stalin

That is... we are all just "citizens of the world".. "who needs laws".. "Just do what you want, is the only law for us"..... so, get rid of those borders and let us all become one big universal mob, being directed by..

The Anti-Christ.

Who will come to rescue a "Global Economic Meltdown".. and resolve WW3..

He will be a charismatic, charming, "man of peace".. And many will believe He is JESUS CHRIST, come to save them.
At some point He will literally tell those who are in the Great Trib....that He is "God"..
He will perform "signs and wonders".

Reader, have you ever wondered why TECHNOLOGY has the entire world looking at a cell phone, or a SCREEN, online?
Its because the Anti-Christ, is going to appear on them ALL, instantly.......like magic........when its his time to deceive the world.

He's coming soon.

I suppose that works, if you accept the modern, convoluted eschatology primarily being taught in his day. hlf

There are some facts, regarding the end times..


There are signs, that show the Church, that we are on the edge...

And there is an Anti-Christ, empowered by Satan, an He's already here, but He's not yet, in Global Control., = once the Trib starts and is followed by the Grt Trib.

There is the Rapture of the Church.

There is the future "conformed into the Image of Christ" that is the "predestined" outcome regarding being born again "in Christ"/

There is the millennial Reign of Jesus The Christ, on this Earth, in Israel....Literally.

There is more.

What is convoluted is the attempt you would make to support what you wrote from clear statements of scripture. Where do you find a rapture, that is connected with a 7-year tribulation to follow, that is split in half? Where do you find a FUTURE great tribulation in scripture? Show how scripture connects all those various scriptures you come up with, as you see it. To make it easy, where do you find this 7-year tribulation described?

@Arthur81 Let me give you the basics, as a simple teaching..vs..... lots of scriptures, piled up in a stack..... as that wont really help you to understand.., as if they could, you would already have the understanding.
So, you dont need 450 verses.. you need to just have a foundation for you to RECOGNIZE.... which allows the Bible and the Holy Spirit to fill the rest in for you.

So let me show you "seasons" and "times".

1.) The entire Bible is a book of progressive revelation.

This means we are reading HOW, .....God deals with man, differently,..... over the course of the word of God as "seasons" and "time".

To understand this, we have to do what Paul tells us to do...

= "Rightly Divide" the word,....... as the divisions in the word, show us the distinctions, regarding, what God was doing, vs, what God is doing, vs, what God will do next.
And to get this wrong is to wrongly divide the word and that leads to 45,000 denominations in the world.

Now, all of this is found in the BIBLE.... as God's "Foreknowledge" and none of it is pre-destined.

The Bible is not a book of pre-destination.. its a book of REVELATION..
Its not a Book that is pre-destining, .. Its a Supernatural book that is always revealing what has happened, is happening, and is going to happen.
Its a Supernatural REVEAL regarding what God has done, is doing, and is going to do.

Now, Look at this simple study.., Reader.

1.) From Adam to Moses.

2.) From Moses to Jesus

3.) From Jesus to the beginning of the Trib,... is the "TIME of the Gentiles".......that ends with the Rapture of the Body of Christ.. that begins the Tribulation.

4.) From the Trib, to the Great Trib

5.) From the Grt Trib, to the 2nd Advent.

6.) From the 2nd Advent, to the Millennial Reign of Jesus .


See those 6,. changes?

Each of those is.......What God did, and then changed to the next., and to the next.

Notice Adam to Moses..
What changed?
What changed is that MOSES LAW came, and the 10 Commandments, which was not in the Garden of Eden, but when God decided to start the new "season" and "time".. .He brought in THE LAW.

See all that?
Now, put the rest together, like that.. and you see that God is changing How He deals with Man.. over time...
That is God dealing differently with Mankind as the BIBLE reveals this to us, from cover to cover...
Study it. Listen to a good teacher... Grow in Grace and revelation knowledge so that you become... "as many as be PERFECT".

So where are we, in this REVELATION ?
WE are still in "the time of the Gentiles' that began when The Cross OF CHRIST birthed the Church, the Body of Christ... = CHRISTIANITY.

And the church is now in the end of the ""time of the Gentiles"", just before the Trib Starts, and that is why Jesus is going to crack the sky and take us out of here.........so very soon.
Get ready.. and look for it.
And then, God is going to resume, specifically, His dealing with the JEWS.. .that starts with the "end of the time of the Gentiles".

Abortions do not Constitutionally fall under the authority or duty of the federal government.

To vote on that issue would be according to whom you vote for for your State government representatives.

Yes the Foreigners allowed in the US…(illegally, by the Biden/Harris administration who have secretly flown in illegals, given supplies, maps, to foreigners seeking to enter through the southern border, (on taxpayers dime) has hindered stopping illegal entry via the southern border and allowed thousands of foreigners over-staying VISAS, to go unchecked or deported. AS well they have ON PAPER deported thousands, without a physical deportation, rather releasing them back into the public domain. )
Yes dealing with all foreigners on American soil is the DUTY of the Federal Government, which along with their miss-speaking….have poorly miss-managed upholding their duties.

Inflation / deflation….is akin to “insider” information….when the government reps backroom wheel and deal to borrow millions of dollars, dump them into circulation as freebie handouts…..the Purchasing Power for the American worker’s earning becomes Deflated.
The “workers” earned dollar buys less….and the burden gets free (to him) hand outs.

And “IF” the government is doling OUT…specific meds, vax’s, phones, laptops, hotel rooms, transportation, etc.….how handy to KNOW that information (BeFORE) the stocks of those things sky rockets!

Yes…agree. Vote as would be in agreement with the Lord God…
* Charity from your own pocket as you choose to whom to give.
* Don’t create debt for others to be compelled to pay.
* Babies are a gift from God, treat them as such.

God bless you.
Glory to God,

Taken

They should come into the country legally.

Statistics show that over 425,000 who entered the country illegally are criminals. Over 13,000 are murderers, nearly 16,000 are rapists, sex offenders. These people are freely roaming the country due to the open border (illegal entry). ICE doesn't know where they are.

One gang member from Chile has murdered 23 people. I think they found and arrested him.

There's a hard core Venezuelan gang....they are now operating in half of the United States.

This has videos of criminal activity by illegal migrants...


I agree, but my children are adults now, so that priority is down the list aways for me.
I don't have any children but am concerned about children being brainwashed by the transgender agenda.

I agree and share all your concerns. Romans 13 is God's command to do what we do legally by obeying the people in authority over us. His command applies to immigrants too.
