read all of Romans 10:4-19 "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise,....But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation..... But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God..... But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you." I believe that God has a one nation solution if you understand what I mean. For the kingdom(s) of this world, will become the kingdom(s)of our LORD and of his Christ, before his second advent. Work to be done. |

Then according to my sermon from John Welwood - "(1.) God will plead with rulers for their perjury, and changing of his ordinances and casting the work of God behind their backs, setting up the calves of Dan and Bethel, which they think most advantageous to their standing. But it shall be their neck break and down fall at last""(2) For their making these lands sin by establishing iniquity by law, and forcing people to obey it.
(3) For persecuting the godly, and the way of godliness, and encouraging and favoring wickedness, perjury, and profanity.
(4) For their oppression, their eyes being only set upon their covetousness, seeking after only their own mercenary gain, to gratify their lusts and not the good of the people"
(5) For their profanity, whoredom, swearing, cursing, drunkeness, Sabbath-breaking, mocking of godliness, neglect of serving God; all of which abound amongst them." |

My understanding of the OT Law is that culpability in the nations I listed will begin with the Church, as God see his Church in Yehoshua pastors/teachers and people under their charge, then the magistrate and then those who remain unaccounted for in these first two categories.Welwood - "Well then the conclusion or application stands thus: That it is more than likely the Lord will punish these lands for their sins, and as our sins have been great and universal, so will our strokes and plagues be. As it was in the last ten plagues of Egypt, the Lord's sword will go from the throne to the handmaid. "And there was a cry, such as was never before heard in the land of Egypt." He hath a sword, famine, and pestilence to plead by. And: 1.He will plead with our rulers. Under this rank I comprehend all in public office, from the king to the constable, with all that are their servants, and execute their wickedness. "For three transgressions of our rulers, and for four, he will not turn away the punishment thereof." |

Balance is key:Phil 4:4-8 "Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your MODERATION be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." 1 Timothy 4:1-8 and I've concluded family worship before meals well placed and brief would be helpful to young and old alike; in this context. |

EP,
I hope I didnt imply that any branch of Christianity had a monopoly on depravity I am only aware of two Scriptural branches; wild olive and natural branch. Romans 11. A number of your statements went over my head. You seem to speak another language then mine SteveR UpperMidwest. |

To associate a liberal, moderate, or a conservative with Christianity without analyzing their individual theology is one of the greatest heresies in the Western church.
Once we violate the above paragraph then we are no longer looking to the cross, but to man. Frank, in my opinion it is a great cause for sorrow that we need to be analyzing individual theology for that seems a clear mark of a general apostasy: every man doing that which is right in his own eyes because there is no king in Israel. No doubt, that is not actually the case at any time in history but especially since the resurrection, ascension and coronation of Jesus Christ at the Father's right hand in his exalted state. We have a reigning Sovereign. But as in the days of the Judges, we too often prefer our own desires to God's Kingship until He presses us out of measure and then we need to see where that takes us. Hopefully to prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. Whether as a Church's leadership and members, a magistrate, or an individual, there is a God to whom we will must give an account, not only and always in this life, but assuredly in the the final judgment. |

Friends??? The first friendship that comes to mind in the Scripture was Jabob's son Judah's with Hirah see Gen.38 for details.My next thought was from 2 Chronicles 19:1-3 "And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace (by the mercy of God only) to Jerusalem. And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD. Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God. This was spoken to a Reforming king in covenant with Jehovah, just imagine what "There is no Eloah beside me", will say to his Only Begotten Son's enemies, where ever he finds them. He has, is and will be laughing, they won't. Psalm 2; Deut.32:15,17
Eloah: God who is to be worshipped. God in connection with his will rather than his power. Hence it is the title needed whenever the contrast(latent or expressed) is with false gods or idols. Essentially the Living God. |
