I don’t dump on anybody for believing that Trump would somehow find a way through to the White House because the alternative is clearly odious and our inherent sense of right and wrong demands that the abomination not stand. Most but maybe not all who thought Trump would prevail were probably of a strong religious faith (as the subject of this thread claims to be). It makes sense to me that if you believe God is in control of all things that He would almost automatically get rid of Biden, but the problem is, God is not in control of all things on earth, just in heaven.

Jesus taught us to pray that God’s will be done on earth “as it is in heaven.” But Jesus did not say “God’s will is going to be done on earth, trust me,” otherwise why would these words need to be inserted into a prayer? Of course some of God’s will is done on earth, that by people of faith. Also Satan’s will is done on earth, some also by misguided people of faith.

I can’t see how it would be wrong or foolish to believe that God might act, especially as many people were probably praying that He would act. However, Biblical prophecy is fairly clear that appointed times and places lie ahead and that bad things happen until we get there. So at the same time nobody should be surprised that this bad thing is happening. Just pray without ceasing until it does come to a merciful end. This is all we can do.

Q Anon is very likely a sincere person who is trying to “egg on” a just solution, with the thought process being that if enough of us believe something to be true, it will somehow become real. It’s a field of dreams sort of concept, easy to mock or ridicule but also part of the concept of reaching for the stars. It’s a duality, the more evil the opponent becomes, the more refined is our goodness in suffering that evil. Those without faith cannot understand this. Those with faith have always lived this reality.

I for one never believed Trump would be “placed” back in the WH although I believe without reservation the election was stolen.

I also don’t believe any of us should “get over it” or “move on”.
