    Is government a byproduct of our sinful nature?

    I think you might find of interest Proverbs 29:2; Proverbs 29:12 There is says people mourn when the wicked rule and when a ruler pays attention to lies his servants are wicked. It is righteousness that exalts a nation.... according to Proverbs 14:34. There would have been No need for Adam and...

    Is the Bible Anarchist?

    I believe that we have to put this question in context.....why do we have human governments in the first place? Other nations had kings...but so did Israel....he just wasn’t visible, but he had given them ample visible proof of his oversight and guidance. His human appointees were given...

    Truth is not constant.

    My thoughts also, and how does one bring about ' family planning ' for example in Africa. I see commercials for what used to the be Christian's child fund, but I have yet to see any child who was helped even 30 years ago appear on the commercial. To me, God had 'family planning' in mind when He...

    Only Democrats want to stop war....as usual.

    Ya, and I've been doing a lot of groaning over the last two years, especially with President Pants-On-Fire "running the country" as he recently bragged about. :(

    Only Democrats want to stop war....as usual.

    Yes... I think things have gone too far. 1) As you mentioned, Congress does not act like one. When and who actually gave us a balanced budget and for how long will Congress continue pork spending 2) Executive orders are, IMV, a distorted loophole to Congress. 3) Supreme court, in some cases...

    What would be wrong with being wrong?

    Hello and welcome to RF...there are many agnostics here. By "evidence" I suppose you mean something tangible? What would you require as evidence then? Speaking for myself, I have no glaring contradictions to deal with and no pie in the sky beliefs to entertain. I just see the Bible as a...

    Is Russia a Theocracy?

    I find the modern definition of theocracy is different from the biblical definition: * Today theocracy basically means clergy rule, or rule by clergy class. * Whereas biblical theocracy is the one of Daniel 2:44 with Jesus being king or ruler of God's kingdom government. God's kingdom (Not...

    Our Reason For Being Here On Earth

    Monarchs of human nations rule over people, and as per Proverbs 29:2 says when the wicked rule, people mourn. See also Proverbs 29:12 and 2 Chronicles 7:14. We now live in a time when there are two ruling at the same time, parallel rule between to governing bodies: (1) Men's rule and (2) God's...

    Will there be freewill in the afterlife?

    Cool, good read! Are those from the Old or New Testaments?

    Will there be freewill in the afterlife?

    And thank you again for your response. According to Romans 6:23 the total price tag for crimes (sin) is: death. There is No mention of any post-mortem penalties after death - Romans 6:7 If a person is freed or acquitted of a crime can they be tired and punished again for it ?_____ Or would that...

    Is God cheating on us with other planets?

    First, in Scripture we read of angelic creation being created before human creation. Not all angels were unfaithful, the majority remained faithful. Since there was only two of human creation on earth, and both remained unfaithful, then the issue of faithfulness started here on earth. Adam was...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    Proverbs 29:2 "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." Matthew 7:29 "For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes." Matthew 21:23 "And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the...

    With all the religious warfare taking place.....

    Use to know someone who called me that... made me laugh when I saw it... haha But that last quote implies the opposite... that is: that it is God's will. Also, what of Isaiah 45 (i think) he creates evil... also he makes the blind blind etc And if it is not God's will, how do you think he gets...

    With all the religious warfare taking place.....

    Hi Robbo :D (thats how an aussie would say it) Yes, i agree, the world is in the hands of the governments and thats a huge problem. The words of Proverbs 29:2 ring very true: When the righteous are many, the people rejoice, But when the wicked one rules, the people groan But lets face...

    Roots of Revelation

    Roots of Revelation Now we come to the roots of Christ’s Revelations, in which we have many that are hoping that God is going to take the church out; from this they have now gladly substituted a new name Rapture, this means that they will not have to face God’s Tribulations. They forgot...

    Government Cannot Serve all Gods

    Government Cannot Serve all Gods I have heard many of our government leaders say, which they are a true believer when it comes to their Christian faith. But when it comes to the duties of their held office, they gladly separate the two. I’m afraid that they are separating something else...
