If you are trying to use the Scriptures to claim you have some kind of moral authority to help re-elect a godless Marxist to the White House, you have failed.
In context, Romans 1:16 and 17:
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith."Romans 1 concerns the sinfulness of humanity and the need for each person to receive Christ as their savior and what results when people deny Him.
Tsk Tsk Nicster -- You left out the ++ part, which is where King Obama and the Log Cabin golden-calf-worshipping "fiscally conthervative" perverts fit into the GOPe/RAT toilet Ba'al, err, bowl:
Rom 1:19-28
19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
NIV
There were numerous occasions where the people of Israel were relegated to enslavement by their enemies and/or subjected to lengthy vacations in the desert for their punitive spiritual purging. It's rather arrogant to presume America should be any different.
In the end, he who sits in the White Hut/Hive will only do so at the pleasure of their Creator.
>>help re-elect a godless Marxist
Nah, I’m simply recognizing what the Word has to say about cause and effect.
“because of this, God gave them over...”
If the Almighty Creator of the Universe sees fit to deliver a punitive plague upon the American Tower of Babel, it’s certainly within his purview to do so.
Join the RINOs dancing around their Golden Calf if you wish. I won’t.
