then why do you worry God might appoint a pagan to govern the US against your will?

pointing out the vulnerability in the armor, not the wound. ;)

silly little friend. i do not depend on human regulations to 'protect me' how long have you been a Christian? do you know much about this Way?

name one who isn't. heck name any human being, apart from Jesus Christ, who isn't. which planet do you live on, btw? :ROFL:

it's a small percentage, but it is statistically growing in proportion. less than half of states have any kind of repercussion for being faithless at all, and none have anything more than a slap on the wrist. a thousand dollar fine to a millionaire. the way out government is set up us overall...

the Bible says God appoints governments. do you disagree?

and the very same Paul told us 'obey the rulers because God has appointed them' speaking about exactly those secular governmental leaders that abused and persecuted him. but you say overthrow them and put ones that tickle your ears into power. that's fine and well, but touching on the thread...

there's no democracy in the kingdom of God. so maybe you're a bit confused if you think any pagan nation, for example america, is that kingdom. this is a Bible discussion forum, btw. so i'm going to keep talking about the Bible if you don't mind :)

we were talking in a Bible discussion forum. what if anything at all secular politics have to do with the work of Christ in the ministry of His gospel is the context. so, what's your take on secular political campaign contributions? if voting for a man to gain worldly power is doing the work...

but none of the states have to choose their delegates this way, and the electors are free to be unfaithful. it's what we have always done - but get someone who does not care how things have always been done, put them in unfettered control of the government with a lot of influence over state...

and none of the electors are required to vote for who the people voted for, and none of the states are required to hold popular votes to choose electors.

common sense was that any one of Jesse's sons would be a better king. but they didn't hold an election - the prophet cast lots, and saw that God chose David. when they held an election God said they had rejected Him by doing so, and they chose Saul.

Bohr was actually conceding that his own work modeling the atom was wrong, by doing this - but the evidence was undeniable and overwhelming. the universe is constructed in such a way that at its most fundamental levels only God, with complete omniscience and control, can predict it. reading...

Mao Zedong was elected by over 600 delegates in the 3rd congress of the communist party after their revolution overturned thousands of years of imperial rule. by contrast, in the american system the popular vote is technically meaningless - the president is chosen by 538 state electors who are...

in a famous exchange of letters between two friends who were fairly good at physics, A and B, an argument took place over whether the physical universe is deterministic or probabilistic - that is, does all the evidence show that we could totally predict the future with 100% accuracy if we knew...

well no, Chairman Mao Zedong was elected by popular vote, actually. those kinds of oppressive regimes are actually the result of voting for charismatic, extreme right wing nationalists who desire great power and appeal to an unwitting populace by blaming their political enemies for everything...

flipping a coin is a universally standard example of a probabilistic distribution, because it's easy to understand that it is a random outcome and nearly everyone is familiar with it. maybe got-questions got it from me. i got it from studying math for 20 years. a process with a random outcome...

remember that at the time of the flood, all animal life is described as having "the breath of life" including mankind, and that Solomon declares man is an animal. also if one looks at the Hebrew, the words "living soul" are the same describing both humankind and all other animals. it is...

we have through faith become children of Abraham, who was hundreds of years before Moses :)

of course - but i meant, in terms of hermeneutic, to understand that the gospel is all over the OT, that it was from the OT that Christ and His apostles preached it. and that the old and new are not separated but complexly intertwined, the new is the contunuation of the old. and that the proper...
