you also need to find an OT complement to any NT passage, because when Paul wrote this the only scripture was the OT, same with those in Berea who tested everything they were hearing against the scripture: it was the OT. likewise everything you read in the OT, look for the NT complement - - and...

no, there is only one Savior, the Lord God. the scripture is that which testifies of Him - see John 5:39

the word apostle can be used a couple of different ways, but there are certainly no apostles today in the sense of the twelve. they were given supernatural power and authority that no one has had since they departed. so the role of the current day 'apostolic movement' in my opinion is to...

i agree with you - except that it wasn't Peter who chose Matthias. Peter brought up the idea that Judas should be replaced, and then the 120 disciples who were all gathered together proposed two men they thought were qualified, and they cast lots to determine which it should be.

what do you mean by "trinitarians"?

a businessman is just a politician in the realm of commerce instead of government. all the deceptive tactics of schmoozing and doublespeak etc are directly transferable - and very similar to what it takes to be a successful actor, which is essentially professional lying. this is a big part of...

no, that's not what casting lots is. the situation described in Proverbs 18:18 is that there are equal votes on both sides of some topic, so that discussion among humans cannot decide or determine the right course. if casting lots was equivalent to humans voting then this proverb would make...

John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight

good example, they did first choose a few candidates, probably by something like a vote. but then instead God called Paul, whom they definitely never would have voted for, at all.

no, it's like flipping a coin or rolling dice.

just like the republicans said about Obama lol - and Harris, too, except the Hitler bit was missing. instead she was compared to Karl Marx. it's meaningless, just a sales pitch. sex sells better than anything, but after that, hatred, and third best, fear. these things are hollow tactics to...

there is an ancient saying regarding democracy, "vox populi, vox dei" it is not true.

absolutely. anyone who claims God appointed trump must confess God also appointed biden.

no, but it does have to do with the justifications they give in discussions like this. i am not against exercising the vote we have in places like my country here, and i maintain that refusing to vote for any of a slate of wicked candidates is tantamount to voting for the non-existant "good"...

my employer!

and He told Pilate flat out He is the Messiah - there are only a few people who He said this directly too, and that short list includes Pilate and the woman at the well in John 4: both Gentile! something like this is far more worthwhile to meditate on than what secular power currently controls...

and Joseph wasn't trying to get political power, nor was Daniel, nor even David, amen. God appointed them, not men. Moses even tried really hard to avoid it!

history has shown over and over when the church involves itself in government and when government involves itself in the church both are equally bad and both corrupt each other. the answer to the OP is really clear to me: no Jesus would not vote. He is God and could have become a man in any...

Frankly every society has collapsed lol
