Your Soul and the U.S. President

Sorry, I think you are really streching it!

A lot of the founding fathers were not christians - they were Deists or Unitarians. Jefferson tore out parts of the Bible that recorded Jesus' miracles.

 

Hi Shy;
There is no parallel for me or my soul. God is in control of who gets elected not man.
Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
I do not depend on the president for anything. I depend on God. Who ever our leaders are, they are because God chose them to be to fulfill His purpose.

Sorry, no. I think you see the parallels because you are artificially putting them there. I mean no disrespect but that's what I think.

 

A really big stretch, that isn't in the least biblical. Watch yourself, or you'll be rewritting scripture.

 

Ummmm.... No.

None of the associations you made between biblical concepts and US government were valid.

 

Marcia, I am convinced that our leaders are pulling the wool over our eyes. I believe that we are controlled by the Grand Design of modern man. It started as soon as our forfathers first landed in this country. It is called, Control, power, man's greed and is now in sad affairs by those who think they know what's best for ourselves.
or THEMSELVES. Every new campaign for higher offices sound the great alarm and assure us that they know what we think we won't. They bomb us with popaganda in the form that They know what it is that we are a'needin' It goes like this, we need "CHANGE". It is getting so repitious and we seem to forget that we are no more in control of what is ordained to happen by these Men who take "Oats to uphold the constitution," but do everything but honor our constitution. Men who are invisable and never show their faces, but rather use their power by puppets who will do their work for them. When Will we ever learn??
I am not referring to either Democrats or Republicans, or a third party candidates
Just stating the facts.

 

Are you not describing the fallen nature of man? Man in his natural state is greedy, controlling, and selfish. Or are you into conspiracy stuff (which I'm not so don't try to convince me)?

Btw, welcome to the Baptist Board! :wavey:

What I am saying is: GOD has placed everything into his law of nature. He is greedy. Man has no fear of GOD until GOD calles him out of his depraved state. The poison of asp is under his lips. They have all gone out of their way. He is swift to shed blood and all of the rest of his condition, and the last one mentioned is: thereforth there is no fear of GOD in him. That is one thing I am talking about, but yes, I am a conspiracy nut. Things just don't accidentally happen in government. It is planned by bad people but you said that you didn't won't to discuss that so I will obey your wishes.
Btw, thanks for you welcoming me. May GOD bless!

 

Agreed. As someone who holds to the dichotomous view of man, it makes no sense.

 

I'm not crazy for conspiracies however anyone with a mind of there own can see that Satan has had a conspiracy against God ever since the beginning. I think we should all face it, conspiracies do exist and have always existed.
