Also whatever the leaders of all the nations have engaged in for centuries -Are you denying that Christians can be unfaithful to Christ? That is what spiritual fornication is.
Also whatever the leaders of all the nations have engaged in for centuries -
they weren't Christian nor believers ever(most of them),
yet they got in bed with the enemy of Christ -
as it is written in revelation - the enemy caused all the nations to commit fornication ....... deceitful, deceptive, deadly for multitudes......
Yes, clearly so.I see spiritual fornication in scripture, as you do. However, even if a person didn't see it so clearly, there are other ways to show how politics are wrong. Its an open shut case as far as I can see.
I bet if somehow there was a collective consciousness to secretly not vote for the entirety of a country, peoe would be surprised to see how, somehow, an elect was elected anyway...
I agree, politics is rigged for division. There is no left or right; dig deep enough and you will see all politicians are buddies working for the same goal regardless of partisan affiliation. Same stuff, different age.
One definition of fornication is pre-marital sex or an extra-marital sexual affair.
A prostitute was one who compromised ethical behavior for money. There are others who ignored good ethics for money.
Politicians have been making more promises than they can keep and borrowing more money than they can pay back for many years. The national debt rose trillions under Bush. The national debt rose trillions more under Obama. Different political parties, same old song. They will not be able to repay. They do have access to ways to print more money. A Hershey bar cost 5 cents in 1966. It is hard to find one for under 85 cents anymore.
Forgive us our debts/trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us or owe money to us (Lord's Prayer). One should not lend more than what one can afford to lose. Money may seem safe in a bank vault, but inflation diminishes its value. Health is probably more important than money; the way healthcare costs have risen. God is more important than money, in as much as money cannot provide guidance.
I'm talking about staining our white robes. The Samaritan actually kept his clean in that example.
Stain them so they become dirty and snow white.
We cant slander politicians or other Christians, with the slander that we so often hear in politics, and also keep our garments clean at the same time. Politics divide us and therefore they are carnal. WE are not supposed to be divided like that. We cannot be divided and keep our garments clean at the same tiime. The Lord is our helper, not man. We cannot covet another mans wealth, or worry about where our food and clothing come from, such as in economic politics, we cannot do that and keep our garments clean.
We also cannot say that we just want to help the poor, because to force tax laws onto others is no different than forcing tithing laws as well. If we don't force the Church to give we cannot force the tax payers to give either, because this is hypocrisy.
We also cannot stand in the way if the government funds social programs because that is not helping the poor. We cannot demand politicians cut welfare programs, that's not helping the poor.
We cannot be political Christians, it just doesn't work. God commanded us to be separate from the world, not to be part of it. I see much wisdom in that command now.
from the expanded greek translation or word study (paraphrased) :The Lord is our helper, not man.
I think you misunderstood those words. I was not encouraging lawlessness but encouraging love instead.
Matthew 11:28-30
Galatians 5:1-6
from the expanded greek translation or word study (paraphrased) :
Yeshua Messiah will never, never, never forsake nor abandon those who have cast their lives upon Him to always without end serve Him unselfishly and with no thought of self, fully and completely and with no other gods trusting Yeshua for His complete and eternal salvation in this world and the next,
relying entirely upon and depending on (completely in JOYOUS WILLINGNESS) His care and nourishment and protection and support and growth forever and ever, eternally without end. amein.
THE GOSPEL ! AMEIN ! HALLELUYAH !6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
