Do you think Obama was ordained to be President?
************ No, but your Zot IS ordained!
They don't call it Internet Exploder for nothin', eh!
Romans 13:1-3 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. (2) Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. (3) For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval,
God institutes rulers on Earth as our authority in all civil things. However, as other Bible verses tell us (Daniel 3:6-18, Acts 5:29) We are not to obey government decrees that oppose God's Word. God is the higher authority.
Now think about this. What is the rule under which we live? Is it not the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights? That being so, are we still commanded by God to obey rulers who's acts and laws fall contra to those documents?
This was discussed on another thread. As for me, I can see no Biblical reason why I should obey a law that is unconstitutional. However, we must be careful that we broadly rebel against governing authority when what we are upset over is not contrary to God's Law.
Just my two cents...
Ordained? I don’t know. I DO know that He’s always known what the outcome of the election would be. He gave us this wonderful thing called “free will”. Sometimes, unfortunately, irresponsibly exercizing our free will comes with severe consequences. God just may have removed His hand of protection from us and allowed us to have our way in this election. Only time will tell what will happen as a result of our elevating this false messiah to the presidency. I pray that God will show us more mercy than we deserve when everything starts falling down around us.
Oh, and IATZ.

Yes, and I've read the book, so I know how it ends.
We win.
Sorry, Marxists. :)
LOL!! I'll add an extra strike to your ZOT display.
