Or as Paul tells in Romans, a “private righteousness.”
It’s the sad Garden story. But God let humanity do it, rather than to ever force His love on a single unwilling soul.
I agree.
For sin to play out, it has to be allowed to play out.
Evil things happen, because God cannot step in and end it until sin is proven without a doubt to be what it fully is, and will always result in.
So yes, God will allow an Obama or a Hillary, but it is not His desire.
His desire would be to see man make wise choices and choose wise leaders.
In Prophets and Kings we cover the issue of good leaders and what they result in.
God’s people prospered under good leadership, and the nation was set upon when they didn’t have good leaders.
Here we’re talking about leaders who followed God too.
So I am not convinced the U. S. can’t rebound. I thing God will bless us if we return to His leadership.
By choosing Trump, I do see a rejection of pure evil. I know he’s not perfect, but he seems to want to rule according to God’s will. He isn’t an out and out evil man.
I do think Hillary is an out and out evil woman.
Obama is as well IMO.
It’s dangerous territory to judge these things, but we have to judge things to make good decisions, so they are fair game.
