I know several Christians that disagree with the latter.

And they are wrong.

Paulos23 said:
As for the former, there are better ways to lower abortion than making it illegal. And he supports those actions, which have other benefits as well.

There might be better ways. But one way that is not better is having tax payer dollars going towards abortions.

Paulos23 said:
Both of these issues should be dealt with at the local level anyway.

We agree on that. Unfortunately, the states that have passed laws to outlaw abortions have had those laws suspended by courts.

And opposed by the previous president and a few top Republican leaders as well.

It’s unfortunate that he wanted a rape or incest clause, but that doesn’t mean he was against the laws in general. Biden would oppose them regardless.

Nor acknowledgment, much less praise, for defecating in the toilet and not on the rug.

It that was applicable, then yes.

I waited some time before asking this. But I had expected to see quite a few by now. All I’m seeing, for the most part, are negative threads about Trump and Republicans. With all of the Executive Orders he’s signed, I thought there would be a bevy of threads celebrating his achievements. Obviously I’m missing something. Maybe some of you can help me out.

Where was all the pro Trump threads?

Supporting abortion and transgenderism isn’t biblical.

The US is not regulated by the bible, but by American law. So your objection is irrelevant.

And that’s where the mistake is. Presidents, kings, Prime Ministers, etc., are all under the authority of King Jesus. They can either be for Him or against Him. But they will all answer to Him.

Nope. Presidents and ministers are under the authority of the people. And have to act within the boundaries of the constitution.

Which is understandable. But with all of the “we finally have an adult in the WH” posts on 1/20, I thought there’d be more promoting of what he has done.

I'm not a democrat and do not have high expectations of a Biden administration. He's been figuratively sweeping out the trash and fumigating the stench left from of the previous administration, so far that's enough.

I had one of those for Biden, but folks complained.

Good for you.

No. I knew that the Biden/Harris regime would be anti biblical in epic proportions.

Sure, in the sense that every US President has been a rejection of the idea of the divine right of kings. But it seems kinda a a weird thing to bring up - it isn't as if western democracies are a new thing.

That's a good analogy to describe what President Biden has been doing since he was elected. I'm not a Democrat and I voted for him. I voted for him with a sincere hope he would win the election and he would be a better president than Trump. It's nice to have a president who behaves like an adult and he doesn't behave like a spoiled child who throws temper tantrums whenever he doesn't get his way.

Yes, at least the hypocrisy of the evangelicals is less visible.

That’s incorrect.

Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.
— Romans 13:1-4

Rulers are ministers of God. They are under His authority.

Was a vote for Biden really a vote “for” Biden or a vote “against” Trump? This was the most divided, hate filled and chaotic Presidential election that I have ever seen! I’m very concerned about America’s future.

For me it was a vote for Biden. So far I'm happy with what I see.

I can't remember to have seen any god on a voting ballot. So no.
And the authority of presidents really comes from the people.

Only if you lump traditional culture in with the Bible. As I'm sure you're aware, neither of these topics is dealt with in Scripture. There are plenty of out of context proof texts, but nothing that actually deals with these issues.

Not everyone recognizes God at the highest authority, or even agree on the same God. Wars have been started over which God to worship, or even how to worship. That is why the President and Congress get their power from the people and let people decide how and who they want to worship.

If there is a God, then they can work through the people at the ballot box.
