Subject: How do we open eyes to truth? |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, Does it not bother you that our government leaders seem to be playing God here? I have heard the president make such comments as, "the unrighteous will pay". Does anyone not see the wrong in such statements? First of all, who are we to judge unrighteousness? Did not Hitler judge the Jews unrighteous and use this to justify his killing? Where does the bible say that America has the right to rule and judge the world, or that our democratic way is the only true way to run things? Where do we get the right to impose our rule and governing ways upon the rest of the world? Where does the bible say that if a another country doesn't have "X" many of McDonalds on every corner, they are evil? Who says that democratic freedom is righteous? That electing our leaders and having the right to vote is the one pure way? Who issued all these freedoms as righteousness? God gave us the freedom to choose between good and evil. I do not recall Him giving us the freedom to abort babies, marry same sex partners or even to vote for Bush! God gave us the freedom to do what we ought...but we used it to do what we want...including using it to put into place more freedoms than we have the right to have! I have the right to buy something for 1.00 one dollar, and sell it to you for 100.00 dollars. Does that make this a "righteuos" freedom?-Just because it is possible in America? Do you not see that the world stage is being set for the eventual one world control of the anti christ and that we in "this great country" are leading the way? We are not preserving the good old USA by our oppresive actions! Rather we are detroying it! By setting the stage for a one world government, we are destroying this country as we know it today. For tomorrow, it will be under new law and a new government...the one that we are now laying the ground work for! Our true family is the family of God (Matthew 12:46-50) The USA is only the land inwhich we were physically born. We have now been grafted into a new tree and a new family.(Romans 11) Maybe we should redirect our loyalties to line up with our true "people". "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ..." (2 Corinthians 10:3-5) coop1 |
