Doesn’t speak for me. I’ll be praying for Biden - that God will restrict his evil, and that God will judge him and his administration for their hatred of God and Jews and Christians.
He speaks for whom?
He doesn’t speak for this evangelical either. 👎
“this would be like Elijah congratulating King Ahab for coming to the throne”
Amen! There is a huge difference between praying for a government leader - which can include praying he’ll repent, and/or that God will restrict his evil - and praying to SUPPORT the evil leader.
Would Richard Land pray for Mao to be successful? For Putin to pass his programs? And I’ll admit I’m getting tired of the Southern Baptist Convention. The “leaders” keep speaking as if they represent the churches in the convention when the vast majority of churches in the convention disagree with them.
It is back to the Elites and phony voting.
The actual link:
https://www.christianpost.com/news/an-evangelical-leaders-open-letter-to-president-biden.html
Judging from the comments at the site, “The Christian Post” is “The Mainline Heretic’s Post”.
“We diminished the importance of a leader’s character and integrity. We became apologists for the president’s sins and shortcomings. We mirrored his worst characteristics. We justified the unjustifiable. We put our trust in a man to fight our political and cultural battles. We became better known as “the Trump people” than as “the Jesus people.” The list goes on and on.
To the extent that applies to any of us, we need to do some serious, private soul-searching along with some honest, public repenting, not in reaction to the attacks from the left but out of reverence before God.
Either way, however, we voted, the reputation of Jesus has been trashed before the nation. What can all of us do to see His name lifted up again?”
bump
Dont forget Jezebel...
waiting in the wings...
Well Richard Land, you don’t speak for me and I will never accept a thief as my president.
However, concerning the Body of Christ, there is hope. Our Salvation is nearer than when we first believed. And our God is unchangable, unlike the laodecean church you represent mr Land.
Hebrews 13:8
King James Version
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
illegitimate President elect.
This is like in the New Testament where Jesus strides into the temple and announces, “carry on with the sales, you’ll never hear any nonsense from me about defiling the temple.”
Obviously Mr Land knows his Bible well.
The letter reads like a parody.
“I can assure you that as you put the prestige and the ‘bully-pulpit’ of the presidency behind the defense of First Amendment free speech, freedom of conscience and religion, human rights”
LOL. Can anyone be this delusional? It’s meant to be a joke, right? No one can view the Democrats’ thermonuclear war against the First Amendment as a “defense” of these rights! We really are in a “war is peace, freedom is slavery” type of world. Next this man will tell us he’s supporting Xi and the Chinese Communists in their defense of human rights and “republicanism.”
He worships Caesar, not Christ.
“We will also importune our Heavenly Father to bless you with safety, health, and all spiritual blessings.”
No. I won’t.
Praying for repentance and salvation is one thing, but blessings? Nah.
More like imprecatory prayers.
God has given these evil people lives of opulence. They have spit in His face. The last, best possibility to bring about repentance is unbearable agony.
This is a nice double-edged sword. I’m sure Biden will be too stupid to see that.
Watch as he betrays these evangelicals like he has betrayed America.
Hope for the best, and I expect the worst. America is being judged.
Praying for your executioner ends the same regardless.
No serious person signs "magna cum laude" after their name. I bet he hangs the graduation tassel from his car rear view mirror.
Show me in the article where ‘Richard Land’ signed “magna cum laude” after his name.
Who did you vote for?
Who do you think?
