The foundation of the world and politics.

for to vanity was the creation made subject -- not of its will, but because of Him who did subject it -- in hope, Rom 8:20 YLT
I think the creation there is speaking of the creation of the world of Rom 1:20 for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead -- to their being inexcusable;
and began at the end of the sixth day,
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

From that point on, was there and is there still, a Sabbath rest for the people of God?

Now politics.

Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Amos 3:1,2

Was God happy when they wanted a king? At the saying of that above they are now two nations with a king for each. Is God happy at this time?

But what about the other families of the earth? Did they need kings and politics? Methinks, yes for they needed to deal with the vanity of which the creation had been subjected and in reality God was only concerned with them as they related to the children of Israel.

Is the following a great verse of the bible relative to, politics?

that also the creation itself shall be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God; Rom 8:21


Just some thoughts, I think.

If you lived in his district - would you consider voting for John James.?
John E. James - Wikipedia
Yes, I don't agree with his position on not being able to fire folks based on "orientation", but he seems decent on other issues. I vote for both parties depending on the candidate and post they're vying for. I wouldn't vote for a Dem in a place where they influence social politics (abortion, gay stuff, etc). I would vote for a Dem in a position where they may influence the environment (I.E against mountaintop removal mining, Pro-Small Farm) or where they may influence development (Don't let Corps pave over our Appalachian culture).

I recently voted in the Rep primary for the 3 open country commissioner seats. After the primary there are now 3 Republicans and 1 Democrat vying for 3 open commissioner seats. My wife and I will be voting for 2 Republicans and for the 1 Democrat to fill the 3 seats.

Well, it looks like some folks - look at the entire picture - which of course is good
Others only look at one issue - which is NOT good.
