@amigo de christoThose who reject JESUS is the CHRIST shall not know or ever learn TRUTH but are simply always learning yet never able
to come to the TRUTH . Just a friendly reminder to all this morning .
You see a bad trend in this relationship between church and republican party that can only lead to eventual ruin for both churchYou are absolutely correct. It's something I've been considering since 2016. The church in America reminds me of Israel and Samuel, and God allowing them to have the desires of their heart. I wrote recently elsewhere on this forum reminding readers of the warnings God gave Israel as they rejected Him as their Lord and asked for a king.
That said, I do believe there are many sincere Christians who believe that voting for Trump is the best thing for their country, and maybe they are right. Personally, if I were a voter in the US, I'd likely vote for him as the better of 2 poor candidates. And certainly, the leftist attacks on marriage, women, free speech, and Christianity in general would have been powerful motivators. But like you, I see a grave danger in some of the proclamations coming from influential Christian ministers, calling Trump the trumpet of God, a prophetic answer to prayer, and vilifying democrats as demons. I see a bad trend in this relationship between the church and the Republican party that can only lead to eventual ruin for both the church and the country. History is written in the blood of victims of every innocent victim of every union of church and state.

Good .
CAN you see the relationship between TRUMP who has brought interfaith common ground unto the churches
and the POPE HIMSELF that LEADS IN THAT TOO . We got us a harlot friend .
And many do her work and when i say many i mean ON BOTH SIDES . IT is truly as though there is a HARLOT
who sits very high over the world and has sold her song of love she calleth interfaith finding common ground
to merge the denominations , and the other religoins to merge as one under her shade .
And what i find also so clearly seen about that Harlot is
that her message is anti christ for it has DENIED the dire need to beleive JESUS is the CHRIST
and has sold the mantra that HIS TRUTH is no better than any other religoins truth .
You know what else i find so clear , THE SEAT . what do that number add up too .
WELL then dont marvel at all that the message of interfaith anti christ came of her .
Even wickipedia did not deny that the number of that seat added up to a CERTAIN familar number
i have read about in revelation . IT just tried to down play it by saying no leader has ever claimed that title .
We have us a massive problem , now dont we . Many by troops and by groves are coming
to a harlots message of finding common ground interfaith , headed RIGHT TO THE LIE and under the shade of a HARLOT .
And most folks find it to be a message of love . NOT GOOD .
Amen. Believers are conflating/confusing/mixing mere politics and practical considerations of administrating political affairs with some kind of holy war. This is idolatry. MIXTURE is NOT of God. It is an ABOMINATION to Him. We are to discern and distinguish between the holy and the common and keep them SEPARATE!You are absolutely correct. It's something I've been considering since 2016.

This holy war will not and is not just seen in america but it is world wide now .Amen.

It was the seemingly "good" part of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil that deceived Eve. She saw that it was "good for food" and desired to make one wise. (worldly wisdom is not God's wisdom...the way that seemeth right to man leads to death.)
@amigo de christoThis holy war will not and is not just seen in america but it is world wide now .
so few seem to notice the direction the republican party specially under trump is and has led them .
Many on the right can see the errors on the left but cannot see that the agenda has massively infiltrated their own camp .
SO lets all look again at a simple reminder to PROVE THIS .
WHO led the abraham peace accords , religious tolerance act interfaith unto the conservative churches
Trump did . Now he was not alone And the evangelical realm has long been infected with this too .
BUT now the question is , BUT FROM WHENCE DID THIS INTERFAITH FINDING COMMON GROUND mantra
FIRST EMERGE .
BINGO is you said the most liberal progressive ecumincal movement of the RCC .
IT never came FROM TRUMP , only TO TRUMP . we got a massive problem in the house .
HOW do you beleive TRUMP is gonna help USHER In this so called world peace , this so called peace in the middle east .
WELL , what does HE USHER IN , abraham peace accords interfaith common ground .
HIS GOAL IS THE SAME AS IS THE RCC , as is MANY rulers within even all religoins of this world .
ITS THE SAME AGENDA . only the right cannot see it . they know how to sneak things in sister .
And to think this has been in the heart of fallen man since the beginning. We see it came to a head with Nimrod and the tower of Babel way back, as well. It's the difference between the righteousness of fallen man (self-righteousness and filthy rags to God) and the true righteousness of Christ. We expect it from the world because they don't know Christ, but when believers start to fall back under its spell, that is even worse and so sad to see. AKA falling away...apostasy.This holy war will not and is not just seen in america but it is world wide now .

and now the ulitimate betrayal of all . you wrote of nimrod .And to think this has been in the heart of fallen man since the beginning.

The idea of world peace is a deception in itself.......Jesus said there would be wars until the end. That is like the ideal of ending poverty.....another deception, because Jesus also said the poor you shall always have with you. Our job as the church is to save and rescue souls OUT of this world.....the world itself is not going to be saved and fixed, but only judged.
yes what nimrod did was evilAnd to think this has been in the heart of fallen man since the beginning. We see it came to a head with Nimrod and the tower of Babel way back, as well.

You are looking at secular advantages of having Trump as President. I don't blame you. Those benefits 8 years ago were real and worth repeating hopefully. That's certainly worth anyone's vote. I don't think any sane person can deny that. Including Lisbeth. But she is looking at things spiritually. At the connection between Trump and the evangelical church in America. Comparing Trump with John the Baptist as expressed in another thread... leading ministers declaring Trump as a prophetic figure doing God's work. Israel in the OT rejected God in favour of an earthly king, wanting an earthly kingdom. Israel at the time of Christ rejected Christ in favour of Barabus, again, to secure an earthly kingdom. I sense the modern church in America is in danger of repeating history. Attempting to establish righteousness and an earthly kingdom through legislation and politics. Already it has been suggested that one poster here be blocked because she disagrees with your opinion. Is that the way this is going to go down?
Oh dear...it dawned on me why the Israelites wanted a king (Saul).....they wanted to be protected by the king and his army from the heathen around them. Not trusting in God. I suspect many might be about ready to make Trump the legal head and defender of their church, like the pope or monarch of England. A state religion? Beware folks. Not accusing anyone here, and God always has a remnant, but many in general....and forewarned is forearmed because no-one is immune to temptation.
I am amazed at the number of “Christians” (particularly in the US) who are up to their necks in politics.….and who come out swinging at the mere mention of the opposition.THIS IS GONNA END REAL BAD . cause bad as nimrod did , and worse did the jews still under the law did
WOE WAIL unto those who used the name of CHRIST , for a far worse punishment awaits them all .
WOW that sounded grave didnt it. Please it sounded like a soft song COMPARED TO WHAT JESUS WOULD have said
OR the apostels . WE GOTS US A PROBLEM in the house . a big one .
”democracy” is an illusion? No form of human government tried by any human leaders or dictators down through our history, has ever worked for the good of the people?…
Well, you're right about "Not trusting in God" but it wasn't because of the "heathen around them," it was because they didn't want to be different anymore. They wanted to be like everybody else.Oh dear...it dawned on me why the Israelites wanted a king (Saul).....they wanted to be protected by the king and his army from the heathen around them. Not trusting in God. I suspect many might be about ready to make Trump the legal head and defender of their church, like the pope or monarch of England. A state religion? Beware folks.

No, the desire is for the power itself…that is what corrupts even the those who want to change the status quo for the better….they may have good intentions but at the end of the day, those good intentions are hamstrung by the system that controls it. The President is himself a puppet of the one who is pulling ALL the strings.A Democracy is the best option for a Country, as long at the elected representatives, do not become corrupted by this desire.
"the most important thing, is that i stay in POWER"..
The “beauty” of any system is the benefit it brings to the people….who can truthfully say that any system of human government that has been tried, has actually succeeded? There is no “beauty” in any system for the people…only for the rulers who are richly rewarded for their positions rather than their achievements. Under their watch, the rich get richer….but the poor are treated like drones.…slaves.So, this is the beauty of the American System.. .in that it does not allow a sitting President, the power to maintain power, without an end to it.
The media is responsible for all that people believe about a lot of things these days….but it’s nothing new….propaganda has been used throughout human history as a tool for creating that fear you mentioned, but it works both ways….it is also used to lie about the good that these men in power promise, but can never seem to deliver….the power that controls the world is much higher than any worldly government.That is the issue with Russia... and similar, Marxist, Communists, Socialist, Dictatorships...
You get a Leader, and once He's in there, he can use the Media that is "'state controlled" to control what the people are told to think..and FEAR.
and He can continue to kill all the opposition, so that He never loses the position, until He is assassinated.
Yes but political lies are almost an expectation….religious lies OTOH are easier to swallow when one pretends to be “an angel of light” hiding a cloak of darkness. That is the lie that leads to alienation from the true God by substituting a false one, so long ago that no one notices that the God of the Jews is no longer the God of the Bible…..he is the god of Christendom….a foreign god to anyone who really knows the God and Father of Jesus Christ…..because this is a salvation issue, our eternal life or death is in the balance. (John 17:3)And that is why "Who Controls the Media", becomes so very imporant, in a country, as if evil people control it, then evil values become perpetrated by the Media as TRUTH..... and that trains the population to believe LIES.
Or they have swallowed the lies and propaganda again and actually expect this man to do what only God’s Kingdom can accomplish. Perhaps he even sees himself in that role…..but God’s Kingdom is not saving mankind politically, it is no part of man’s rulership as Jesus said. (John 18:36)Its a MIRACLE that American's, who are inundated with false media.. whose only purpose is to poison the culture and do the bidding of the STATE...... were able to break free and elect Trump.
They are all puppets…..it’s an illusion that one side is better than the other…..all work for the same boss. Only one entity is pulling all the strings. He’s got the whole world in the palm of his hand….all except those who know the truth and are completely separated from any connection to it.These others on the list... are Democratic Party : Puppet entities.
That's only the half of it Jane. Here in the states, we have the Liberals (Democrats) and the Conservatives (Republicans), there are others, but these are the big two. Dems, cry out for tolerance, BUT they are the most intolerant of people. This election, if you listen to all the rhetoric from the Dems is all about women's rights and abortion. That one issue constantly comes up. I listen to a gentleman coming out of the polls when asked who he voted for, he said Kamala Harris. He said "I voted for my daughter and my future grandchildren." In essence, he was voting against having future grandchildren since he wants his daughter to have an abortion any time she's like.I am amazed at the number of “Christians” (particularly in the US) who are up to their necks in politics.….and who come out swinging at the mere mention of the opposition.
Babylon the Great, is the church age of grace spiritual apostasy. A counterfeit Christian global movement aligned with the kings of the earth, all committing spiritual adultery. Consider carefully who may be a part of that, and if necessary, come out of her.Remember, first comes the natural and then the spiritual. The O.T. was symbolic for us. Saul was natural and David was spiritual. Esau was natural and Jacob was spiritual. Ourselves were natural sinners, then we became spiritual. First Cain then Able, etc. None of that is true in the church age of Grace. God controls it all. Let go and let God do His job and don't doubt.
