POTUS Donald Trump just lost my vote for reelection

Right, I note nobody here really addresses anything other than what they goad others into.

In no way am I not suggesting that Jesus did not or does not forgive sins. What I am suggesting is it is not the civil magistrates duty to forgive sin or demonstrate grace though I am not opposed to mercy. Do you think it Just if a person murders another goes before a civil magistrate and they say I forgive you? What kinda justice is that? I expect the Judge to execute sentence. Forgiveness is not between man and magistrates but between man and God.

The Scribes and Pharisees were not the Civil Magistrates who had the authority to condemn to death under Roman authority. And clearly, the OT requires multiple witnesses in due process.

 

The church is true Israel and no I am not advocating replacement theology. Likewise, we are to be founded on Christ Jesus [the very faith exampled by Peter] and be on the offensive, that is, attacking the very gates of Hades. For the church to prescribe any contrary principle not based on Scripture in our society from which develops societal laws isn't a light by which to guide the nation. And the very act rejects the very principles Protestants profess in the 5 Solas.

I actually agree with you in the main thrust behind your post. However, most churches today won't speak up politically or even endorse a political candidate because of the Johnson amendment which strips non profits from tax exemption if they endorse a political candidate in the political arena. The church therefore has been stripped from her duty to speak to America's conscience. She has instead taken a bribe remaining silent rather than boldly proclaiming God's word in all areas of life including the political.

 

Just curious, do you realize America's government is framed on the Presbyterian church's government with all her checks and balances? Are you aware that 2/3rds of the soldiers that died on the battle field of the Revolutionary were Calvinist? Is it any wonder that those "The People" were represented by servants which used the very principles of the Protestant faith in order to frame this country?

Regarding any form of government theocracy or otherwise, every Utopia has failed ever since Adam was cast out of Eden when and where Eden was guarded by a flaming sword.

The very principles by which I am advocating I believe can't be debated as non Scriptural. And they will be ushered in one day under a true theocracy. It is inevitable.

 

I am not a pre mill either. I am Amil believing that we'll be here until completion [everyone of the Elect accounted for]. And I acknowledge you rightly state that there will be heaven and earth anewed.

As an Amil I believe God is personifying Evil at this very time. And the very body of Evil will be removed one day as promised by God.

All this is simply repeating. America doesn't have the heart for righteousness to "KILL" the Canaanites just as historical/biblical Israel failed to fulfill the command by God.

 

Right, Prophets never warned her kings. Jesus never rebuked the Sadducee, Scribes and Pharisees [being cynical].

I have no ideal as to what people here consider salt and light. Retracting within our own walls while complacently allowing lawmakers to develop contrary laws isn't a light I am familiar with. One of the reoccurring themes repeated throughout the OT given to Israel was not to take upon the culture of surrounding heathen nations. And a light ought warn others approaching of the passing dangers. Our laws are today being dictated by the culture. I see little evidence today that the church has an influence. She's silent enjoying her tax free exemption. Coffee and bagels in the Kiosk and please stop by your book store on the way out. Thank you for attending.

 

The Lib/Dem party is Godless. Even recently writing out prayer from within their affairs. Likewise, Conservative and Christian are not synonymous. My party [Constitutional Republicans] is becoming nearly unrecognizable as time goes by. The very principles our nation was founded on and our party is being as quickly lost as the Left can rewrite history.

 

Right, Islam too believes it is righteous to lie in order to mislead the infidels to further the cause of Islam. Seemingly, you too don't believe it is a sin to lie when it serves your purposes? Question, if you were in a court to testify that you're not harboring enemies of the state [and you were] do you think it right to perjure yourself?

 

So she was saved by faith and elected into the hall of fame of faithful remnant in Hebrews and not by her lies. I see nothing reinforcing her lies were righteous.
And your point was what?

Note I never said our sins may not be forgiven. However, seemingly not many here are being led to repentance because they believe sins such as lying are not always a sin but righteous.

 

Note, another deflection. No substance whatsoever.

A parrot can quote Scripture. Thanks, Ken, I appreciate you sharing what Scripture "says".
