Isn't it just despicable the way that governments have tried to replace the Church.
They claim themselves as the officiators of marriage, the first line of charity, and the authority on education.

What you witnessed was the product of when the "powers of this world" pretend to be God.

Some governments even have taken the power over life and death, through abortion and euthanasia.

Not as much as separation of church and state is interpreted the way it is now that the Word of God is far removed. What we are seeing is God gives His people what they want.

How is it people from Mexico don't have a problem finding work in the US?

because they must work under conditions and with pay that's illegal under us law. check the price of produce and think about paying what it would cost if the pickers were paid minimum wage.

What are your thoughts on this?

Luk 16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Luk 16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
Luk 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

You know what always, as in always, comes to mind of this scripture, at least to me? The mystery and intractable nature of spiritual blindness, that people who reject the Lord go stupid to the things of God. You could show them hundreds of fulfilled prophecies, right there in black, white and red, prove the supernatural, and people will insist on believing what they want to believe. Spiritual blindness is a phenomenon that goes way beyond stupid! Look at the miracles of our Lord: they were not refuted, rather the Scribes and Pharisees simply said they were by the power of the devil.

At the core, God is being rejected, not simply disbelieved. And there's a lesson in this for CC, that you're never going to debate anybody into having spiritual eyes. You see many purported Christians who reject plain Biblical doctrines that don't suit them, even, have an exegesis of me, rather than Thee.

Anyway, you don't believe God, can't love God, just for Who and What He is? What would be the point of anything else, then? Be like Muslims, get real scary, force some fake belief that God doesn't need?

John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
