I'm sorry where am I speaking for God? I'm speaking what God's Word says. Or don't you believe God hates communism, He hates that China is committing genocide, and the innocent blood being spilled by Russia in Ukraine?!
You said " I am speaking what God's word says" Please quote the passages .

As much as i hate liberalisms in church in families , governments etc . This Scripture is as true today as it was 2000 years ago ..Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Maybe to make my words more clear; there is a huge difference between saying God's Word says and in my opinion God's Word implies.

The Bible says that those who believe live together and share all things.
Communism is originally a system of collective property.

You are blind and deaf yourself. You say you come from a communist country. Don't you even understand these? Then I really don't know whether you hate your motherland or communism.

A person full of hatred is not worthy to tell me his justice
Communism is by force, not comparable.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. - Galatians 5:1

I don't take seriously the advice of that which pretends.
"That which pretends" what? I assure you. Minority Report IS a good movie; and I really do wish you would get over yourself. Everything I said between those things was from the heart also.
Children are born innocent. Regardless of what those opposed to the truth. And certainly is corrupt that which mocks being the peace while condemning babies as damned.
You're projecting: who said babies were "damned"?
Babies and children are innocent. Those who keep repeating they're not are anathema to God's word.
Pshh, I'd be careful before you go around cursing people if I were you. You're calling people out for being satan's disciples, but you're not a bad accuser yourself.
And BTW, it's very odd that you accused someone earlier of acting like this was a jewish forum- because what you have been saying is actually a lot like what the Jews believe- and not what the person you accused was saying. The JEWS say that people besides Jesus can be innocent- They say can even keep the law! It's Christianity that says all have sinned.
Deuteronomy 1, Isaiah 7,
2 Kings 21:16 and 24:4; Jeremiah 13:26-27, Psalm 106:37-38, Matthew18:3
2Kings 21
16Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD
Wow- it's almost like the government can be a bad influence on their people, just like I was saying.

Jerimiah 13... a chapter about Jerusalem being an IDOLATROUS PEOPLE. What a great point!
26Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear.
27I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be?

PSALM 106! Thanks for making my point for me again.

They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:
But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

These excerpts from the scripture demonstrate just how much national sin becomes a problem.

Look, "Innocent blood" in the OT just meant someone hadn't been charged with a crime. It doesn't mean they were innocent like Jesus. And you can see that in Job, where he says he is "innocent", and God even said he was "blameless": does that mean he was perfect like Jesus was perfect? no.

What others believe was not the question. There is no Scripture speaking of 'the age of accountability" We wish it to be so .. we find emotional reaches bringing it to account. But there is not a Scripture/passage. Age of accountability beliefs are not in the same vain as the Trinity.. We can find Scripture speaking of 3
Mat_28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Although they do not use the word trinity.

Romans 7:9
New King James Version



9 I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

Paul was Jewish. So can’t say he could have been alive once because he was ignorant of the Law as a Gentle.

Paul was alive when he was a child, BEFORE he was accountable by the Law.
What the actual age of accountability is, is certainly up for debate, but not that there isn’t one.

The Christian would do well to leave this nest of fakes.

Devil's that corrupt God's word when Satan is the god they defend by blaspheming The Word with utterances from their own abomination.

Grotesque. This place is grotesque.
They don't actually fear God.
Yet .

Keep your armor tight brother.
After having seen you comment for a while now, I sense that you consider everyone who disagrees with you to be a “Devil” destined for torment. I also sense that you gain some sense of satisfaction believing that your debate opponents will somehow, some day, eventually suffer.

As a result it’s very difficult to read your comments when your vindictive spirit is on full display. Otherwise I thought you rather articulately made very interesting comments; however, you aren’t able to actually discuss them with anyone who disagrees. That’s definitely a problem for you, imho, and you should try to overcome that.

This place is actually decent for finding a diversity of theological perspectives, something that isn’t found in church most of the time. I am not saying everyone is correct, but it’s useful for discussion.

I have a reverential awe of God...that He gave me, though I didn't deserve it. I've made some big mistakes in my life. Most of all, it's His love for me...in Christ! I'm not afraid of Him...anymore!
"But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you." - Psalm 130:4

Yet another school shooting in Texas.
WHERE WAS GOD???
Why didn't He stop the shooter?
Why did He let those innocents die?
I don't think I want to serve a God that let's evil like this happen.
We live in a fallen world. Tragic mistakes were made. I'm sure He does intervene in many situations we never hear about precisely because they don't end badly. But things like this are all part of the consequences of living in a fallen world.

We're supposed to be the salt of the earth, the light in a dark world. If we blame Yahweh and turn from Him, then what? Shouldn't we try to be part of the solution? If we lose our saltiness, won't that simply contribute to an already bad situation?
