Should Christians pray for Putin?

[Reynolds]

He is anti anybody or anything that isn't Russian Orthodox. It goes to the identity of what in his mind is Russian. Thirty-plus years ago the family I would be marrying into came to San Francisco as religious refugees. They went to County Social Services. Who referred them to the Jewish Welfare Agency and the Russian Welfare Association. As my not-yet-in-laws only spoke Russian at the time. Jewish Welfare said sorry you're not Jewish we can't help you. The Russian Association is part of Holy Virgin ROC Cathedral. They said "If you're not Orthodox, are you sure you're Russian?"

Ok. So? Is the Orthodox church not Christian?

The Moscow Patriarchy is no more Christian than the Papacy.

So are you going to answer the OP question?

Should Christians be praying for his (Putin) salvation?

No.

 

[Salty]

No.

Why Not?

Why Not?

Because God is Sovereign. I will not pray against God's Will. Fulfillment of His prophecies are His Will.

ALL the leaders of the Gog-Magog Alliance nations are self-righteous, as are the Theologies of their nations.

The Theologies of the Gog-Magog Alliance nations are all various forms of Replacement Theology.

It is why they disregard the prophecies in Ezekiel and foolishly come against Israel.

God is glorified in their destruction.

How do you know that God does not want Putin to be saved?
I understand what you said about Ezek - ........

I've been following everything relative to Israel for the last 6 years. Which includes studying their enemies.

I did not choose this. God tends to assign his servants paths that they would never have thought to take. For me, that is Israel, in this period of time.

I don't expect you or anyone else to understand my calling; nor the conclusions of the thousands of hours of research, processing, and meditating that this calling entails.

Putin, being blessed by the ROC, to do the evil that he is doing, fits the bill perfectly for the conquest nature of the Gog-Magog Alliance.

The ROC is the "religion" that married God-despising Communism.[/QUOTE]

Have you ever considered your eschatology to be wacko?

I've done some study and come to the conclusion that you are right - according to 2 Peter 3:9


2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance, except for those who rule the country of Russia.

right from the good ole KJV

How do you know he is not saved?

Do you know that he is saved? Praying for a saved person, not knowing that person is saved, for what ever reason, does not make a saved person to be lost. Thinking a lost person to be saved is to that person's detriment.

I said I do pray for him. I also made the point that I see no reason to single him out. There is more evidence Putin is saved than evidence Biden is saved. Why everyone tore up about Vlad?

The slaughter of thousands of women and children; raped tortured murdered, had a lot to do with it.

I know you a cheering for his success, but I think you are seriously misguided.

Peace to you
