Trust me, my eyes are wide open! I’m perfectly fine with all the things he has accomplished thus far.
He has done more in one term than most Presidents have ever done in 2 terms!!
You really have to be less opinionated and gives examples as to why you think this way?
While it's true that nothing happens unless God allows it, it's also true that just because someone comes to power it doesn't automatically mean he or she was God's pick. He may allow it, but that doesn't necessarily mean He approves. People need to get over the idea that God is responsible for evil people and despots coming to power.
"Israel cries out to me, 'Our God, we acknowledge you!' But Israel has rejected what is good; an enemy will pursue him. They set up kings without my consent; they choose princes without my approval. With their silver and gold they make idols for themselves to their own destruction." Hosea 8:2-4
Insane is a pretty strong word. If by it you mean he's incapable of logical thinking based in reality then I agree. He's out of touch with reality; and this is the guy calling the shots for the USA, a scary thought. We need to pray, not only for the president but for the country that we'll be spared any major disasters.
Well then the solution is to seek God's approval before appointing anyone. Right now the world is run by those who have the gold and silver and they will lead the world to its own destruction. Trump is not the cause, he is the symptom. The same is true of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, and Bill and Hillary Clinton. Does God approve of abortion? Does God approve of removing prayer from school? Either you acknowledge God and repent of rejecting God and setting up rulers without His consent, or else you will be carried off with them to their own destruction.
I wasn't suggesting to blame God if you don't like Trump I'm suggesting he appointed Trump regardless of whether he was a Christian or not
I wasn't saying you were suggesting we blame God. I'm saying that rather than God "appointing" 47, it's possible He simply allowed it because of the hardness of people's hearts. The scripture I posted makes it perfectly clear that not all people who come to power necessarily have God's stamp of approval. Sometimes He allows people to get the government they demand and deserve to teach them they should trust Him, not man. I know this is a difficult concept for many, since it's been drilled into us that every person who rises to power was appointed by God and we should just accept it.
No he appoints...
The Bible explicitly states that God appoints leaders and establishes governing authorities over nations, holding sovereign control over the rise and fall of rulers. Key passages include Romans 13:1, Daniel 2:21, Daniel 4:17, and Proverbs 8:15, which collectively teach that all authority is instituted by God.
Key Scriptural References:
Romans 13:1 (NIV): "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God".
Daniel 4:17 (NKJV): "...the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, Gives it to whomever He will, And sets over it the lowest of men".
There are many more references to this.
How do you understand Hosea 8:2-4, where it explicitly says of Israel: "They set up kings without my consent; they choose princes without my approval"?
On the other side of the coin is that he is there because God is using him and has allowed him to come to power. He missed being murdered by inches. I'd say God has a purpose for him, I don't believe in coincidences.
A tad dramatic I'd say. Insanity "Madness, lunacy, psychosis, craziness, mania, and mental instability."
If you're going to use that word, then you'd have to say it's the entire Dem party too. Best not to use words that we don't know the real definition of.
Another word you don't seem to know the definition of. If you Google "how many wars has Trump..." Google will fill in "ended". Not started, ended. So maybe stop throwing around words you don't understand and making baseless accusations.
Take a P3737, slap an Intel N97 on top of it and burn a huggyface toy to it and it blows everyone's mind.
At least he's reading it in public instead of mocking it, like other presidents or blocking prayer breakfasts.
No, the issue is people come here, spew what they wish and think there won't be a comeback or answer to what they said. Everyone has the freedom to say what their opinions are. The problem is when we answer back, you get angry. This is a discussion board, not an "I agree with you" board. Sometimes you'll get people that like everything you say that is hateful about Trump, like Canadian HeIsHere. Even though the leader of her country is worse and dragging the country into Communism. But the rest of us think for ourselves and we take this very seriously. So I'm sorry you haven't found everyone agreeing with you here. But I'm sure you'll find lots of other topics that you will find agreement on.
Yeah that word has been thrown around a lot here, I don't think you all know what the word actually means.
It's an underhanded tactic some have been using around here lately. HeIsHere has been hitting likes faithfully of one poster and just the other day she asked them what they believed. smh And I don't even think they believe the same thing. Still , she slaps her hug of approval to make her point. She also puts you on ignore then continues to talk about you, now she has newbies following her nasty habits.
And then wonder why you're getting push back. There are no common features. Your fake news is lying to you.
