We Will Not Bow Down

And remember that the Republicans are now outspending the Dems across the board.

Hey just print more $$$ when you need it!

 

[OnlyaSinner]

I'm not a socialist. I suggest that you keep Jesus out of your Republican party.

Baby/bathwater? We are not of this world, but are in it. If there are Biblical commandments and/or principles against participating in civil government, I haven't found them. (There's lots of things I haven't found.) As a bondslave of Christ, I am commanded to His presence being (through the Holy Spirit) in whatever I do, including politics, whether Dem, Rep, Indy, whatever.

 

[Earth Wind and Fire]

Yeah, it's nuts. We need to dump our Congressional leadership and put in people who want to save money, don't we? Trump needs to study parliamentary law so that he can tell Congress how to stop this destructive spending spree.

Hire true conservative and libertarians and dump the neocons who could care less about borrowing, spending and paying down the debt...it’s really irresponsible.

I just did, in naming your political views.

That's not the thread topic.

The Democrats just got a big increase in social spending for no good reason but let everyone notice that they are still smearing everyone and trying to use Scripture to smear people with. No one is being thrown into furnaces and the President's daughter is Jewish and the President is popular with Israel, something that Obama and Clinton are not for their policies. It is Obama who is close friends with Nation of Islam and it is Carter and Clintons who take a lot of money from Islamists and the Clintons who got $500,000 from Russia for a "speech." The Religious Left does not impress anyone with Scripture and there is no evidence that they use it among themselves.

You too.

The Biblical commandment is to make Jesus not a political party the Lord of your life.

Tips from the book of Daniel for dealing with a tyrant.
We Will Not Bow Down

"There was a king of Babylon named Nebuchadnezzar. He was a mighty king, and when he issued an order, he meant business. Nebuchadnezzar was a narcissistic maniac who made everything about him. He made a golden tower, and he ordered that everybody under the reign of his kingship had to bow.

One day, Nebuchadnezzar called in those he had appointed and the ones he had pardoned, the governors and the sheriffs. He had a dedicatory service for his golden image, and he was trying to make sure that he wouldn’t have to lie about those who attended his inauguration.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, three young Hebrew men, represent the choices faced by those who must either support a repressive regime or face certain death. Nebuchadnezzar wanted them to bow—forget their heritage, forget their legacy, forget their journey, forget their God, forget their rights, and bow down. He wanted everyone around him to feel less than him, because he had his own inferiority complex.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to accept the religion of the king, the religion of greed, racism, and hate.

The name Nebuchadnezzar literally means “one who will do anything to protect his power.” That’s why Nebuchadnezzar built his towers. He built his tower more than 10 stories tall. Nebuchadnezzar put his name on his tower. Everything he built, he put his name on it, because he was a narcissistic maniac. And then he put gold on his tower, and he promised that he, and only he, could make Babylon great again.

Whenever we take a stand and choose not to bow, it does something to the heart of God. When God knows that our serving God is not predicated on knowing we’re going to be delivered, God starts shaking on the throne. When we refuse to bow, it moves God. God doesn’t keep them from being thrown in the fiery furnace. God decides instead to go in with them. God was the fourth one in the fire. God didn’t save them by keeping them out of the fire. God saved them in the fire.

It’s not just about a president, it’s about an entire web of money and influence that has been working to tie up American democracy forever."

The democrat's number one concern is killing babies. Secondly, they promote every sexual perversion known to man, and we have people on a Baptist discussion board unashamedly promoting this stuff?!

I say we drain the swamp.

 

[church mouse guy]

You too.

No, the religious left is a cult.

 

[church mouse guy]

After seven years of insanity, so maybe not the best illustration. (Though it shows how hard it is for many of us - starting with me - to pay heed to what God has said. As with the story of the farmer's stubborn donkey, sometimes it takes a club to the head to get our attention.)

I think that you are agreeing that Nebuchadnezzar is still a Trophy of Grace.

That's how I read the final verses of Daniel Ch. 4.

Making a statement applying to over half of America is by definition discriminatory. That's like saying everyone in the South is less intelligent or everyone in NYC is a flaming liberal. I don't support almost all abortions nor do I support the homosexual or transsexual lifestyles. However, God does love them and wants us to bring the gospel to them. They also have rights under the Constitution. You do support the Constitution, right? It's difficult to tell from your comments here. Actually, it's also difficult to believe that you want to share the gospel with them because you hate them.

This post is not based in reality or what I said.

The platform of the Democratic Party is #1 Abortion on demand, no matter what your views are on the matter, we are talking Democrats, as in politicians, and those who vote for them, by extension.

Second, the Democratic Party is the party of perversion of every kind. It does not back biblical family units, but SSM. It does not back God-given gender, but 71 genders. . . The list goes on and on.

BTW, I have more righteous indignation for people like you than I do for homosexuals. They are blind, while you claim you see.

You claim many things which are not true.

If this powerful nation does not call forth a church which is most powerful in the ways of the spirit, we will have surely missed our moment to radically proclaim the gospel.

So much for those who say that theology and politics are not intrinsically linked! The politicians, unfortunately, seem to know that linkage better than most church people.

Like saying AT&T laid off 4,600 people after the Trump tax cuts, when in fact the article he posted was from 2008?
