RENDER UNTO CAESAR

Setanta,

Had to giggle at the hard of hearing one. But, there was a time when I didn't know that all caps menat you were shouting. Laughing

As a Christian, I incorporate my beliefs into all areas of my life. So, when I vote, I take into consideration all aspects of the candidate's lives. I don't think we should opt out of politics altogether. I just believe we shouldn't go to extremes with it, such as with abortion clinic bombings. Just because I am a Christian, it does not mean I have the right to trample on anyone else's rights. If I don't like the laws then I have the right to lobby to change them, but it must be done within the law.

It's a fine line sometimes, true.

Sorry about the capital letters ha ha. What does the bible say about the kings and govs of the world. If you do a little reserch on the matter the bible says that the kings and the govs of the world are under the power and get there power for the god of this system of things, and who is that? Let me know what you think on the matter of this and i will reply on the matter if we should listen to what we think or does the bible also say do not rely on your own thinking because Gods ways are higher then our was so Gods thoughts are higher then our thoughts. So when jesus said be no part of the world did he mean we could cast our vote for who we think will do the best?

Welcome, JAMESDG;
Of course, many fail to realize that Satan is the god of this system of things.

Hi Neo!

Why is it that it seems so easy to blame God but hard to blame Satan (for some that is.)

Yes you are right so if satin is the god of this system and satan gives the goves the power is any wounder that man will dominate man to his injury.
So when you vote for pres or something you vote for something that satan is in control of! That is different ha. So should we vote.

I think you are taking Neologist's statement of Satan way too literally. When we vote, we are supposed to be informed about the candidates and what they stand for. I do not believe Neo meant you can blame it ALL on Satan.

Well, I just rendered unto Caesar big time. It's called contract renewal for an air conditioning unit. Who do I blame for Frances? God or Satan? <smile>

Well, the data base disconnected me and I lost my clever response. Even A2K is having electrical problems.

Right, Husker. Who did move to Florida? Someone you know? Razz

It gets as hot or hotter in Virginia sometimes.

Momma, I understand that the utilities (deregulated, of course) are hiking their prices and gasoline is getting out of control. I may be reduced to loaves and fishes in the future. <smile>

Please don't guess what I mean, Ma. The early Christians refused political office. And, you may remember, when they came to make Jesus king he ran off.

When Pilate questioned Jesus he was told that "My kingdom is no part of this world.'

Instead of asking what kind of car would Jesus drive, perhaps one should question which candidate would receive his vote.

Neo,

I am sorry. I didn't mean to offend. I will get this wording things correctly down yet (I hope).

Can you tell me where it is in the Bible that Jesus ran off? I am not doubting you, I just am not familiar with that reference.

No offense taken:
John 6:14-15:"Hence when the men saw the signs he performed, they began to say: "This is for a certainty the prophet that was to come into the world." 15 Therefore Jesus, knowing they were about to come and seize him to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain all alone."
