The Christians who "prophesied" Trump's second term

[mmksparbud]

Free will or puts people in charge, pick one.

Don't have to pick. God does what He does. He puts them in charge---they have the free will to not do what He wants them to do---He put Saul in as King over Israel--when he did not do as he should have---He gave the kingdom to David. What these people are forgetting is that God puts them in power---but He also takes them down. They are happy with having him in power, but when God takes him down, they don't like it. At least we don't have to wait for 10 years as David did! Just a few more days.

I thought I would mention this subject since we're already talking about Evangelical Christians still supporting Trump and a Pastor who invoked a curse of God on elections stealers in this forum.

What do you think about all the released prophecies claiming that God will give Trump a 2nd term in office? There was one such video on YouTube entitled "God just showed me how Trump will actually rightfully sit a 2nd term," but it has been taken down for violating YouTube's terms of service.

Admittedly, I didn't watch the entire video because I thought it was so outlandish. I've encountered some Christian Trump supporters online who are ecstatic about the so-called prophecy in the video. I think it's a little unsettling, but these people are still clinging to the false hope that Trump didn't lose the election and God will overturn the election in Trump's favor. I can't help but feel sorry for them.

As a Christian, the only rational reaction to these people making those prophecies is to listen to what God has already told us in His Word about such people:
Deuteronomy 8:22
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

So God has told us that such people are false prophets and we are to have no fear (respect) of them. So I don't. I look at them as false prophets, based on God's Word.

A second term for Trump may yet still happen in four years...

In a democracy does God make the majority vote for the winner? Where is their free will?

Looks unlikely for a second Trump consecutive term.

Whether that's God's plan, or runs contrary to God's plan, or even if God has a plan for this at all, I cant say. Who can say? Some people think they can apparently.

Everyone I’ve ever met that claimed the “gift of prophecy” has been a con or a nut job.

I have a friend who did a decade in Federal. He jokes a lot about how many (swindler) “preachers” he did time with.!

The thing about prophecy is that it needs to be “flexible”.

You're already The Most Interesting Poster in the Forum. Don't need to add to it.

Totally. "Orange man bad. But two terms shall be had."

Still have it. They can refuse to listen to the requests of the Holy Spirit---some one else will. And He doesn't interfere in every election, He will just lets people do what they will, that they end up paying the price of their actions. God alone knows when to interfere, when not to.

Try some guitar and banjo with that.

Good question,
where is their freewill?

How many voted seeing the only two options were either cholera or pest?

 

[cow451]

... Yea! Just what we needed, we most certainly didn't have enough "What about these false prophets?" threads...

Answer... they are false. Not anything more even can be said really... but hey, let's say it some more.. I'm sure the false prophets who have no fear of the living God will listen to us nobodies if we say it enough..

I hear you but some things bear repeating.

At best they they make failed predictions,
at worst they act as forune tellers.

Which is an abonimation anyhow.

It certainly wasn't my intention to ruffle any feathers. I wasn't aware of the other threads on the topic when I posted my thread. I haven't seen the other threads, but I haven't been looking for them either.

You and I against an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent Supreme Being would be like a developmentally disabled child playing chess against the likes of Garry Kasparov.

It is all beyond my comprehension and so it will also be the same for you, and everyone else.

COngrats you just made the anti free will argument :>

He puts them in charge---they have the free will to not do what He wants them to do---He put Saul in as King over Israel--when he did not do as he should have---He gave the kingdom to David.

God can't put them in power without taking away free will, either by manipulating the election, the people voting so the guy he wants in power is there, or such.

We love you anyway, in spite of all your sins.
