What Legacy Does Trump Leave?

[Northwind]

Now I would have thought God holds us more responsible for our worldly decisions.
I thought God would be more concerned that we feed the poor, needy, the persecuted, homeless, take care of widows and welcome strangers.

I agree.

Romans 13:1 in the Bible states that all authority comes from God and that those in positions of authority are placed there by God:

• Romans 13:1: "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"

You are taking it out of context... In Romans 13:1-7, Paul is writing to gentile believers in Rome to obey the God ordained authority of the synagogue rulers in Rome, not the Roman/pagan secular authority.

Nice try there Waterfall --but no cigar ---romans 13 is for today ----God is still in charge of this world and governing authorities -----His Word is for today -----He is our Sovereign King and still rules over this world

As perplexing as it may sometimes seem, the Bible explicitly states that all positions of human authority, including those of government officials, have been appointed by God.

Does God Appoint Godly Leaders? (Romans 13:1)

In our limited human understanding, we may question how much God is involved in our world. Does God appoint godly leaders? Like Habakkuk, we can trust God’s sovereignty and goodness to appoint godly or ungodly leaders to accomplish His divine will.

Does God Appoint Godly Leaders?​

In our limited human understanding, we may question how much God is involved in our world. Does God appoint godly leaders? , we can trust God’s sovereignty and goodness to appoint godly or ungodly leaders to accomplish His divine will.

As the Sovereign Ruler of the Universe, God’s purposes are directed by His goodness. He alone is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. He has no equal and rules in love, mercy, and justice. And out of that character, God appoints leaders according to His divine purposes.

1. God is the true sovereign.​

Psalm 22:28

For kingship belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations.

God ordained all human government for the good of man . . . ​

Romans 13:1, 3–4

 

[Northwind]

Thank God people like unsafe don't have much power.

 

[Northwind]

@Mystic here is a former federal prosecutor speaking about the president elect's court cases.

 

[chansen]

Thank God people like unsafe don't have much power.

Actually, some are about to.

And everyone thinks I take my criticisms of Christianity too far. The US is about to have the Christian Taliban in charge.

 

[Mrs.Anteater]

I am afraid I have to agree.

I agree. That scares the s**t out of me.

Trump's policies and rhetoric absolutely tend to appeal to Christian conservatives. However, I feel comparing said Christians to the Taliban, chansen, is going a bit too far. The US will still be a constitutional republic with checks and balances in place

 

[Jaebius]

It seems these good people were at the right rally. Thankful to have God's choice of president re-elected, they spontaneously burst into song.

More good news - I read on Ig today the really good news that President-elect Trump has begun the first steps necessary to put prayer back into US public schools

 

[BetteTheRed]

Increased potential for a Gilead type nation, for sure.

 

[BetteTheRed]

Canada might be at decreased risk of this sort of government due to our evolving ability to understand that gender is not a duality; hence, not something upon which you can legislate.

What do you mean, Bette, by "this sort of government?" (Italics mine)

I really doubt a Christian Nationalist government would happen here. I'm saying that with 'never say never' in mind. We do have MPs who would like that I'm sure. Bob Zimmer in the Prince George-Peace River riding in BC would be one who I suspect would go for that. Maybe Chris Warkentin from Grande Prairie, AB as well. Anytime they've gotten too religious, they've been toned down by either their party leader or the electorate. Of course their current leader, Poillievre is another kettle of fish.

We have a different government system that has some protective factors. For one thing, we don't vote directly for the PM. Could you see Quebec and the Parti Quebecois going along with a Christian nationalist movement???

Gilead is one step towards the Taliban.

I suppose you should wonder why Paul was put in prison for not listening to the government authorities but God instead and even Jesus was tortured for disagreeing?
But carry on.

If onus is responsibility for what's laid on us; in great act of misty call ... did we not hear it was our ball to carry? Mystical how these things go astray ...


If you fail at one responsibility does the entire project go down the cesspool? Got to ponder these episodes of foreign essence ... alien intelligence gone awry because of brutal wills overcoming the SOL?

What the heck is this essence in the dark night of SOL? The masses mist' dite ... too excited about power display is my humble guess ... the small grains trickled away due to vast fear of what's great and not yet understood ... ig*no*rants is a grand belief system! Don't be picky; trash everything ... its prodigal ... the theme of self-destruction?

Are there 2 sides to the demos ... maybe 3 ... an incomplete quiescence? There are signs and icons ... consider the Ѥ (said to be Cyrillic "E" but not an "I see" to those blind to alien icons ... the hate for odd, peculiar things continues as an exponent of fear ...

Have you ever considered things such as knowledge as essential, an type of alternate spirit to fear and brute forces? Thus more genteel forces and essences that fall in the negative fields and Wahls (sort of the other side of where the pious are stone-walled)?

Nah ... we couldn't got there ... learning is a desperate thing ... especially when conned (CON) into believing you know everything! Is that a vast misstep?

Imagine essential stumbling as a logical folly ... thus vapors go up and down chimneys ... back draught? Suck it up ... you are what you've created ... all consuming power ... integral destruction? There is a class that wishes this sort of dream ... it appears (incarnates) as a facet of evolving hate that accommodates loss of onus ... can that be labelled irresponsibility to what relates? Some sage declared that everything is connected in a weird, dark, unseen manner ... mystical rites?

Thus the departed collective ... some say the unconscious collective ... unbelievable... right! Pure power ... highly excited and not a que*Lu ... distilled now ...

Got to love a stage story for the sacred knowledge hidden there because the great powers didn't wish intellect to be obvious ... thus oblivion on a regular cycle until the proper time for the I's thing ... differs from Eyore self ... kind 've at arms length ... brane width!

People who feel mistreated by the system will ignore all the negatives if they are led to believe the system will be changed. I believe the choice being offered by Pollievre will be worse for most of them than the current system. The NDP have an opportunity to make significant gains, but they have to offer a vision and policies that can improve the lives of most people.

What's the chance ... quantum?

Expect that no know-how will be entered into such system only excitable emotions as intelligence goes someplace else ...

It is a vast unconscious domain (brane) ...

 

[Luce NDs]

Recall some religious, pious flocks declare that know-how is dangerous ... so guess what reins? Ignorance is ultimate ... intelligence disappears down a mystery black hole ... some say an unworkable mine ... there only can there be peace and quiet!

This may shift according to gravitational lens ... really dense spots out there ... impenetrable devices of literary nature? Thus those who don't wish can enjoy not knowing ... you may recognize them by the vacant eyes ... Annie Orphan vector.
