Why are some posters consumed with politics

I come to this forum and see some posters who cannot accept what God has ordained. They keep posting thread upon thread, bashing God's ordained leader of the United States while desperately trying to prop up a former leader whom God has dethroned. What causes Christians to be so consumed with the politics of worldly kingdoms?

 

Because this is a news and current events forum.
What your saying is the forum should not exist.
Tell me, should John the Baptist not spoken out against Herod, saying it was unlawful for him to have his brother's wife?

 

Please tell me which major party candidate is against abortion.
Are you not concerned with murder or is it just leave it to worldly politics?
My hands are dirty enough as it is.

 

Not really bashing Mr Biden, but do think that his agenda and policies are fair game!

 

Yeah, we are out of this world so don't try nonviolently to stop bad behavior.

 

Every poster on this thread has gotten into arguments.
Should stop that too, eh?
Theological arguments are separate from political ones, right?

 

We should pray for those poor misguided Democrats. :Coffee

 

Simple solution, don't go into the political forum.

 

The dopamine hit some get from websites/apps finely tuned to trigger that response through manipulation is more satisfying than trying to obey...

 

Bruce Lee never manipulated anyone?

 

I rather like the way that reads, though unintentional I'm sure. Some indeed do get a fix from their media sources, while others just blindly believe and obey them.

Personally, I find the post election rhetoric of the media rather ho-hum (no pun intended). It’s just not news to me what Biden and the Dems in general are now doing. It was a foregone conclusion. Some things happening around the world are worse yet parallel, and may foreshadow our future.

This does not mean the forces of evil should not be resisted. And it is worthwhile to point out just how bad the world is. Otherwise, we might get too complacent and imagine it is home. It ain’t.

 

Q: Did Jesus "bash God's ordained leader" when He called him a fox?

 

I intentionally did not reference any political party or leaning if you are interested in my intention.

Humans have the very predictable tendency to see the fault in others while ignoring the faults in ourselves, myself included. Jesus explained this very well.

In terms of not just blindly trusting and obeying news sources, I always encourage that with going to primary source materials which I try to post with every response to a news story that I make here, regardless of where that news source came from. It would help improve critical reasoning for people of all political stripes and backgrounds to do that with the news from sources they "trust". It just takes a bit of effort that most folks are not willing to do, especially when what they find goes against their preconcieved ideas of the world.

 

hey, you're the same guy that about a month ago was running around here calling Trump voters cultists and called the "God ordained leader of the United States" a narcissist while having an avatar with your first name in big bold letters. You sure seemed consumed with the politics of worldly kingdoms then.

God didn't dethrone Trump, election workers in Philadelphia did. Can't wish it away now.

I know.
I was curious if anyone would catch the dry humor in my post.

(Your response points to the problem as well ... everyone wants to help their neighbor remove the speck in THE OTHER GUYS eye and can’t see the log in THEIR OWN eye. Both sides have people that are drinking the Kool-Aid.)

So just for the record, is it OK for Liberal members of the House of Representatives to demand the resignation of Republican Representatives for “trying to kill them”? What about the speeches at rallies advocating “re-education camps” for conservatives?

I was just curious if it is only conservatives that need to be reigned in.

 

Is Jesus God?

 

I have no idea what you are referring to. However, former President Trump displays classic narcissism.
