I suppose the Mormon god will agree to whatever his followers will believe.
A bit like the Liberals god.
However the truth has other ideas.
Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet."
Pity these groups cannot read the Bible.

Absolutley, BW. Getting rid of these Christians is part of the strategy.
BTW, anyone noticed how Hawaii is doing these days? While not so much on the national radar as a spreader of liberalism, it is one of the more Leftists states in the US. They've been pummeled by natural disasters, war fears, etc. Could it be that the Lord is shaking them to gain their attention? What would happen to California if Christians leave that state? How many other states/provinces are also guilty and so deserving? Should not we all repent and pray for the God's mercy?

Wow. She must have spent months looking up all the scriptures that support THAT opinion. Suppose "who we truly are" is Hitler or Stalin? Good to go, right?

I just heard on the radio they are removing clocks off the walls of schools because it is claimed the children cannot read time off a clock anymore. The degeneration of the American mind is beyond comprehension. The Antichrist and pagan video games, mtv, youtube, schooling will make sure no one even knows what the Bible is, or if they do label it as a book of hate speech never to be opened or to be called a racist/redneck in punishment.

I have had Christians defend this man to the point where I had to back away. I mean why get so personal? If it was scripture you were defending, I could see the loyalty, but not a mere man.

Concerning Watchman Nee, he learned most of his doctrine from woman preachers and authors of his day and earlier, since “close association with women evangelists and teachers was characteristic of his early career.”Nee’s mother went on to become “a well-known Methodist preacher, whose speaking tours included her native China” and abroad. Nee’s book, rejecting sola Scriptura for truth based on both “the Word and experience,” leans heavily upon Penn-Lewis and Roberts for its views on spiritual warfare and other topics, as he “delved into . . .

I still can't get over the "God help you if Trump becomes a Hitler" because Been Watching has, I doubt, done any self reflection on the implications of his viewpoint, hope he comes back on and that he will defend his position.

What did I mean by my statement?

Besides Hitler's beliefs and lifestyle, he brought much good out of Germany. He got them back on their feet. He restored the economy and was a great shot in the arm for the country. But...oh but he was preparing. He was working behind the scenes to pave the way for his dreaded third Reich.

Could Trump be paving the way for something?

Could Trump be working toward an end that might make those who voted for him quite remorseful one day? Imagine those who voted for Hitler initially? Imagine their remorse when some of them voted for him because he was the lesser evil?

lbug I didn't know that Obama won a third term. He has nothing to do with the conversation. He wasn't President during Hurricane Maria. Sent your contribution into the Salvation Army for Hurricane Maria relief, yet?

Interesting conversation. One question to those who disagree with voting for the “lesser of two evils”: What man is NOT evil or sinful? If you say Christ, then justify your not voting on that principle, fine. But if you have voted, you have transgressed your professed position.

Sorry, did you miss the Scriptures I used to support my position? God told David to choose the lesser of three evils, was God being unBiblical? Please reread my 5/2/18 12:57 PM post. Thanks

I believe that for voting for the lesser of two evils we are still voting for evil. And that is something I cannot do. God has called us to lift our leaders up in prayer and to support them in any way we can that is not unbiblical. That I can do!

We live in a fallen world governed by fallen men. There was never a point in our history where the choice was not between the lesser of two evils, so to speak. Frank has well pointed out being a Christian and a politician are not compatible. We have to deal with what we are given in this world in which we are strangers and pilgrims.
I didn't vote for Trump to be a moral compass or my role model. I will ask you, has the fact that he ran casinos, is a womanizer,has a foul mouth, etc. (not saying these are good) affected his presidency or his politics?
If you don't want to vote so be it.
We would be under much worse circumstances under a Hillary Clinton presidency. Voting for nothing is a choice to have only the unrighteous decide who is making the laws and policies under which you live. God gave us the opportunity to have a voice in our government, are you saying He made a mistake?

Oh for the love of. The Republican Party is the party of Jesus since the policies of the Republican Party are in line with the teachings of Jesus. And Trump is a better president than Clinton would have been. So it is totally stupid of any Christian to not vote because not voting Republican means that Democrats would be in control. And the aim of the Democratic Party is to make the United States a totalitarian country. Trump does not fund Planned Parenthood because he is against abortion. Trump is not charged with rape. And Trump's wife is not a bimbo.

Thanks for kind words brother Frank and good question Watcher. My thoughts
The Bible says we are to pray for those in authority, which in this nation we choose, that WE may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. We know when the wicked beareth rule the people mourn but when righteous rule the people rejoice. We live in a worldly system run by worldly people. The Bible tells us As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. (Gal. 6:10) We put no trust in politics but all in our God and His providential grace on our behalf.

The issue of whether or not voting is a Christian duty has come up over the years. In fact, it was U.S. that convinced me years ago that voting was not in and of itself sinful. I now vote for what I call the lesser of two evils. IOW, I give no Christian moral credence to any candidate that holds office...But, I do not believe the Lord wants any of His children to be volitionally cooperative in their evil. We walk a fine line, but we are to always obey God.

That's my opinion. The sin, the lifestyle, the choices, the profanity...you support the man, you support his lifestyle, his morals, his choices...in essence you agree with his ethics and morality.
