Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

2 Corinthians 2:11, "Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices."

First of all and foremost, please pray for me, justbyfaith at Christian Forums because I am right now placing myself on the front lines of the battle by mentioning satan and by exposing his schemes. So please keep me in prayer that the Lord will keep a hedge about me and that I may be above reproach.

First scheme of the enemy has to do with the one world order. John McCain has spoken against Trump's Nationalist Agenda saying that he is taking us backward. I say that as long as any nation has a Nationalist Agenda the Antichrist cannot reign supreme as one world ruler of a global community.

Secondly a Muslim proponent has said that Trump has made divisive comments. No, he is the President of the United States and the leader of the free world. Any comments in contradiction to what he has said would be divisive therefore in our country. The President of the United States cannot make comments that are truly divisive. He makes the rules as President.

Also comedians have a hayday in speaking against the President, and yet it says in the book of Acts (which is quoted from the law), "Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of your people." So these men are violating the law of God in speaking evil of the President. Not that they care that they are doing so. Nevertheless they will be held accountable by the Lord for their sin.

Fourthly, YMI Jeans is putting soft inappropriate content on our bus benches in clear sight of our children. Therefore I call for a boycott among all Christians of all YMI products.

Fifthly, there is the portrayal of milk (in the new milk commercial) as either a lesbian or else a woman dating a transvestite (the lipstick mark made by the ketchup on the hotdog), and the idea that if it works for me why shouldn't I do it? I would say that lesbianism is unnatural and really doesn't work for that reason.

Sixthly there is now the theft of a Christian children's hymn ("This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine") by MGM hotels in a commercial, which came about because no one spoke up earlier of the fact that the people in Las Vegas who were killed were very likely subject to that shooting because they willfully went there seeking to be influenced by worldly music.

In Psalms 91:8 it is written to those protected by the Lord's hand: "Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked."

Because MGM made their commercial to promote the humanist idea that we all have light in us, I must point out contrary to the comfort of certain family and friends of those killed that only those who believe in Jesus Christ have the true light or will go to heaven. Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life: no one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6. Also the scripture declares in Acts of the Apostles 4:10-12 that we can have salvation only in the name of Jesus Christ.

Seventhly and finally, words spoken by the true servants of the Lord will be intolerant of unrighteousness; and the media would like to say that this is hate speech. In all reality this is the speech that is truly motivated by love because unrighteousness not only puts people in hell eternally but promotes misery and problems here on earth.

This has been happening for generations upon generations. So keeping an eye on things is needed, though not the focal point. These are good reminders to watch out for and keep our discerning eyes open. Thanks for sharing.:yellowheart:

The media was/is almost entirely one of the best way to promote everything that's evil.Lies, inappropriate contentography all day long ( disguised as something harmless, something normal ), scandals, and the list is very long.We live in a fallen society and sadly we are all part of it, things like respect became history, now it's all about liberty of expression, which sounds good at first, but look at the world and see how it expresses, pure evil all day long.The evil disguised himself as being good, just like God told us, it's so clear, so so clear.

Mark 8:36 "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"

I'm struggling and fighting with all the temptations I face every day, I know, I know, there will be a time when I am going to be totally free, then, I will be able to shout to the world that what it promotes, it's evil.

The President of the United States cannot make comments that are truly divisive. He makes the rules as President.

If you ever visit reality you might be surprised.

The world has been under a one-world government for at least 2,000 years.

So he took Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. The Devil said to Him, “I will give You their splendor and all this authority, because it has been given over to me, and I can give it to anyone I want. If You, then, will worship me,] all will be Yours.” -- Matthew 4

Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. -- 2 Corinthians 4

All human governments, without exception, have been operating according to the worldly rules laid out by Satan, not according to the Sermon on the Mount. Just because Satan has allowed them the appearance of independence doesn't mean he is not governing their operation.

Even when nations are at war, that is merely Satan's means of governing nations, as we see in Daniel when Greece and Persia went to war, in the spiritual realm that was merely a changing of the guard of Satan's principalities.

Funny how the media is "speaking evil" of Trump for telling the truth about the bile he spews. But Trump is off the hook because, according to OP, he's the president and thus "makes the rules".

You quote scripture to take the media to task, and yet you support a man who called Mexicans rapists, bragged about assaulting women, made fun of the handicapped, did not "do unto others" in his business, and disrespected a military widow. What possible reason would we have to listen to a word you have to say? You sure seem like a hypocrite to me.

It's astonishing how many evangelical Christians support a man like Trump, isn't it? I think it's getting rather humorous to watch some of his right wing Christian followers perform the most amazing mental gymnastic moves to make him sound like he's a godly man and a man of genuine faith now.

It's amazing just how many evangelical Christians fell for his 'accepting Jesus' act. If he was the best candidate that right wing evangelicals could produce to represent their faith or even represent them politically, then I can only assume that gaining political power through Trump's influence and then sustaining that power was more important to them than anything else, perhaps even more important than honoring their own moral convictions and traditional family values.

And one more thing... “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” - President Theodore Roosevelt

I think John Piper had an excellent response back when Trump was first elected.

But Piper also approaches Christianity in the world's nations from the same direction as I do: That we are citizens of Heaven who are only deployed temporarily to the nations of the world. When we've completed our mission, we're going home.

How to Live Under an Unqualified President | Desiring God

Because I regard these as qualifying marks of leadership in public office, I regard Donald Trump as not qualified for the presidency.

But today he will become president.

This is not surprising from a Christian point of view. The Christian faith was born, and has flourished, under regimes less qualified to lead than Donald Trump. The murderous Herod (Matthew 2:16) and the Christian-killing Nero (Tacitus, Annals XV.44) did not thwart the spread of a faith whose King and power and charter are not from this world (John 18:36). The movement that Jesus Christ unleashed in the world, when he died and rose again, does not depend on qualified human government for its existence or power.

I was talking about the one-world government that will be ruled by a man, the Antichrist or the Beast, spoken of in the Book of Revelation and elsewhere; when he will require a mark of loyalty to his government that those who refuse it will be beheaded; and which will be a mark of loyalty to satan, which will bring eternal condemnation to those who receive it. Also at the beginning people will not be able to buy or sell without it.

For the record, I don't support the man's sins; but as a believer in Christ I believe that I am called to pray for those in government and not to judge them. What I find hypocritical is that those who criticize the President are the same people who will yell at you, "Judge not, lest ye be judged" if you preach against such sins as homosexuality and fornication.

It's astonishing how many evangelical Christians support a man like Trump, isn't it? I think it's getting rather humorous to watch some of his right wing Christian followers perform the most amazing mental gymnastic moves to make him sound like he's a godly man and a man of genuine faith now.

Perhaps we saw that President Trump was the lesser of two evils. Hillary's Agenda would have been to come down on Christians and to make steps toward putting pressure on us to become "like the rest of all of us" to put it in her words. This would amount to persecution on anyone who desire to live a godly Christian life different from the world.

Paul the apostle said in quotation of the Old Testament, "Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of your people." I would say that the Bible "trumps" a quote by Theodore Roosevelt.

And what if that spiritual reality is not as physically transparent as you expect?

I would argue that the world is already there--it's done and has been for a while. There is nothing left to happen.

Paul the apostle said in quotation of the Old Testament, "Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of your people." I would say that the Bible "trumps" a quote by Theodore Roosevelt.

That kind of statement always evokes in me a strong urge to "go Godwin."

It really only means that believers are not encouraged to anarchy. It doesn't mean they can't identify an ungodly king and point out that Godly men should not give him their moral support.

uhmmm...does that mean since Jesus called the rulers of His people whited sepulchers, blind guides, full of dead man bones and all uncleanness, hypocrites, full of extortion and excess, or my personal favorite: "twice as fit for hell" and wouldn't Jesus "trump" even Paul? :wave:

(a) What do you mean by "nationalist agenda?"
(b) Depending on your definition, I think it's rather bizarre to think a nationalist agenda is needed to prevent some sort of supreme global ruler from coming to power. I mean, on what would you base this supposition?

Secondly a Muslim proponent has said that Trump has made divisive comments. No, he is the President of the United States and the leader of the free world. Any comments in contradiction to what he has said would be divisive therefore in our country. The President of the United States cannot make comments that are truly divisive. He makes the rules as President.

I don't even understand this. Why can't the president make divisive comments? It seems to me the president is just a man and can say all sorts of things that would be divisive. And no, the president doesn't make the rules - a basic civics/government class would be helpful at this point.

And what does it mean to be the leader of the free world? I never understood this one. One of our biggest allies, that Trump seems to like, would be Saudi Arabia - certainly not a bastion of freedom.

Also comedians have a hayday in speaking against the President, and yet it says in the book of Acts (which is quoted from the law), "Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of your people." So these men are violating the law of God in speaking evil of the President. Not that they care that they are doing so. Nevertheless they will be held accountable by the Lord for their sin.

Wasn't that quote talking about the nation of Israel and it's king? I'm not sure that the US President rules by divine right anyway.

Remember that time the Founders spoke out against the ruler of the people? Remember when they penned this:

"He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands."

Good times.

Fourthly, YMI Jeans is putting soft inappropriate content on our bus benches in clear sight of our children. Therefore I call for a boycott among all Christians of all YMI products.

Nothing supports Christian values like not wearing some blue jeans. Maybe we can form some clubs, and burn jeans in a bonfire? w

Fifthly, there is the portrayal of milk (in the new milk commercial) as either a lesbian or else a woman dating a transvestite (the lipstick mark made by the ketchup on the hotdog), and the idea that if it works for me why shouldn't I do it? I would say that lesbianism is unnatural and really doesn't work for that reason.

Let's boycott milk too.

It's music's fault. Let's boycott music.

Yes. And I would also say boycott Yoplait Yogurt since their commercial promotes being rebellious in the drinking of wine in front of your children. MOM ON! These kinds of things are running rampant in commercials today. Not to mention the rest of television.
