People Fighting Off Their Savior, and Running to Satan [Bible thumpers caucus]
Faith Presses On ^ | 1/6/21 | FPO

And no, because of the slander that Trump supporters have replaced Jesus with him, I will leave no room for the slander. I'm talking about Jesus Christ, of course.

It is so incredibly sad to see how humanity in its natural state of sin fights off their Savior, Jesus Christ, and runs to Satan, and accuses Jesus of being Satan, and embraces Satan as savior instead. It's so sad to see when people persist, and succeed in doing throwing off the Lord for good, and without some drastic intervention from the Lord Himself, there will be no coming to the truth for them until it is too late, and they are being eternally judged and thrown into the Lake of Fire.

It is so sad to see eternal doom embraced as safety.

I am so thankful to the Lord that He revealed Himself to unworthy me, and gave me the faith to see Him for the savior He is so I would realize that I should stop fighting Him, and that it's wrong and deluded and self-destructive to do so, and also learn to do everything I can going forward to submit to His will for me, and fight the flesh, not Him.

It's terrible to see a nation, as a body, triumphantly turn its back on God, after slandering Him and judging Him, and declaring, "We know better than You, because we are better than You, and we shall do as we like. But we are still Your faithful servants, because we know it's so."

It's sad to see blatantly obvious rebellion towards God en masse, and know that the outcome is there in God's Word, in black and white, simple enough for anyone to understand. Those who leave this world in rebellion to God will get their just recompense.

Thank the Lord for His mercy and longsuffering towards us. It gets harder and harder it seems to like other people. It's a natural attitude that we are commanded to not give into, though, as we are to love as He loved unworthy us, but it speaks to His infinite superiority to us, that He can still love us, despite the evil creatures we naturally are.

If you are in rebellion to God, don't find out that you were wrong to fight your Savior when it is too late. Don't trade a place in Heaven for the empty promises of this vaporous life and an eternity in Hell, because you are not fit for a perfect place, being in rebellion to God. Be reconciled to Him as soon as possible, while you still can.

Psalm 2

1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

It's not the usual Bible study, but I thought I'd ping you all anyway. If you'd like to be pinged just to the study, which I hope to be able to get back to soon, just let me know.

If you'd like on or off this list, just send me a freepmail.

Very glad you liked it. I just posted another one that I’ll ping you to, too.

Of course, it comes from a lot of the grief over today. I was concerned for the past couple of years about corrupt ballot harvesting, but still hoped Trump would come out the winner. But even though it was no surprise, I wept in November when I heard that apparently Joe Biden would “win,” knowing that in the natural, people have winning and losing utterly mixed up, with tragic consequences. It wasn’t for myself, but made me think of when Jesus wept over Jerusalem because people don’t know what makes for true peace.

Well, I found out today that a former assistant pastor repudiated Trump today.

I’m completely disgusted. This was a man I admired.

Was.

Faith, A timely message. Thanks very much.

Our Bible study in church last night was on John, Ch 9, where the Pharisees did accuse Jesus of being of Satan, exactly as you say.

I like to think of Psalm 31, I trust in the Lord. My times are in his hands.

Too many churches have been corrupted by social justice, via deliberate PR and infiltration. Hence they think that good Christians comply with social justice mandates.
