It might be best to let God take America down.
Did you ever ponder the meaning of Romans 5:20? Asking for a friend...
...thus leaving a vacuum on the world stage to be filled by whom?
Agreed. Every chicken knows this.
… and a Marxist coop is absolutely futile …
I read it like this:
Amplified Bible
But the Law came to increase and expand [the awareness of] the trespass [by defining and unmasking sin]. But where sin increased, [God’s remarkable, gracious gift of] grace [His unmerited favor] has surpassed it and increased all the more,
Yep, been posting same for a year.
A reasonable desire, but we can’t “repent” on the one hand while the anti-god ring leader and all his minions are permitted to still occupy the WH and the halls of legislation on the other. Not to mention the heathen media which abound, who with might and mein aid, abet and provide cover for those cretans in their sinister endeavors.
Daniel 2:21 and Psalm 50:12 immediately came to mind when I read this.
Without national repentance, national destruction seems inevitable. So whether it is best in our eyes or whether it leaves a vacuum seem to be purely academic questions. By the latest accounts of archeology in Israel, Sodom was one of the largest cities in that part of the world, and it was never replaced after a “cosmic” event.
Why those verses?
I thought of Daniel 8 and Revelation 13.
Sodom didn’t have a history with God though.
The Left’s Is-Not Is A War on The I AM
Progressivism is a ruthless, all-out war on the I AM. It is the is-not against the I AM. Progressivism’s progressively rising tide is propelling us toward total economic and social collapse. This upheaval is the inevitable result of exalting the is-not above the I AM.
I AM THAT I AM. God is, and He is God of the is. I AM THAT I AM. He is God of the is and not the is-not. God is and He created the is. He did not and could not create the isn’t. God created/creates value and not nonvalue. In Him there is light and no darkness. He can only create light. He can only create value. He is value and in Him there is no nonvalue. Progressivism is essentially, fundamentally, existentially, irredeemably, intrinsically anti-God. Progressivism is the anti I AM, the counter I AM. Progressivism is darkness, death and destruction. It is virulently anti-Christ.
Progressivism is a lie from the pit of hell. It is all about the is-not, the negative, what isn’t. A growing focus, a progressively growing focus, to the point of obsession, on the negative, on darkness. Progressivism is all about what people do not have, cannot do, and are not. Life is being, doing and having. The progressive consciousness is all about not being, not doing and not having. Never ending, ever expanding negativity and ingratitude. The current obsession is inequality. Nonequality. The negation or isn’t of equality. Always about the negative. Always. Never ending, ever expanding negative.
God is value and creates value. Progressivism is a focus on nonvalue and a war on value. It is ingratitude toward the value that is. Progressivism/leftism is darkness, destruction and death. It is satanic. All the more evil because it struts about in robes of righteousness, justice, fairness, caring and love.
Life is being, doing and having. Progressivism is a focus on not being, not doing and not having. In this way, progressivism/leftism is fundamentally and irredeemably anti-life in the deepest and fullest sense. Progressivism is a grand whine about what people are not, cannot, do not, have not. It is an ugly obsession with nothingness. It is an obsession with nonvalue. It is a consciousness of darkness.
Progressivism’s focus on nonvalue compels the progressive to pursue policies and programs that must confirm the darkness negativity view of reality. In this way leftism is destructive. It is destruction, darkness and death. Ingratitude and negativity are destructive of a person’s future. Just as the converse is true. With a positive grateful consciousness, a consciousness of value, the positive expands. The experience of value and the positive expands.
Gratitude and blessing consciousness results in growth, progress, success, prosperity, happiness and social harmony. Ingratitude and a great whine of negativity leads to anger, resentment, envy, jealousy, hate and social discord. Destruction. The choice is life or death. Blessings or cursing the Blesser. Light or darkness
Progressivism, so called, is anti-God. God is. Progressivism is based on the isn’t. Progressivism is an ever-increasing focus, to the point of obsession, on the negative, the isn’t. God creates value and only value. Progressivism is the great ingratitude for and denial of value. It is a consciousness of darkness. Progressive policies hinder the creation of value and do much to destroy value.
Progressivism is a consciousness of the negative and nonvalue. Progressives can only pursue a course of action that will work toward creating a world that conforms to their consciousness, their view of reality. Progressive policies and programs impede growth, prosperity, success and wealth creation. It is all about taking and destruction. It is anti-human life. It is counter human thriving and wellbeing. Leftism is darkness, evil and destruction.
Give and it shall be given unto you. The formula for success, growth, and prosperity. Create value and contribute that value to the economy. Produce and give. Simple. Be grateful for what you have and work to produce more.
That was the traditional American way, the paradigm for success. The secret to America becoming the economic powerhouse of the world. The progressive way is the reverse. Ingratitude, grumbling and demanding to be given more. Ingratitude, resentment, bitterness and envy. The progressive way is to demand to be allowed to take ever more rather than producing and giving. Taking and consuming rather than producing and contributing. This always leads to life being stunted and atrophied. Progressivism is the anti-life satanic way. Give and it shall be given unto you. Always demand to be given more and you will never have enough. Never. Another facet of progressivism’s is-not’s war on the I AM.
Nothing good can come from this twisted way of thinking. Progressivism is an amalgamation of ingratitude, negativity, envy, jealousy, resentment, anger, dissatisfaction, covetousness, bitterness, rancor and discord. It is the thinking of a miserable failure elevated to the macro level. It is the way of the miserable failure spun into a destructive political ideology and wrapped in an illusion of love, kindness, fairness, and justice. Lies coated in a lie. Progressivism is evil destructiveness marketed as the way, the truth and the only way to life and life more abundant.
Progressivism is all about money. Pure materialism. It is all about who has what. Ans who should or should not have what. Usurping the place of God to judge. It is taking from some and then giving that to others. Progressives are some sort of demonic, mad accountants obsessed with shifting funds from one account to another. Totally obsessed with money. It will solve everything! Yes, progressivism is first, last and always materialism. Yet these frauds strut about as moral giants and spiritual paragons, seeking to cancel and destroy those who do not conform to their madness.
Progressivism is the great anti-progress. It is an impediment and threat to growth, success, prosperity, happiness and social harmony. Progressivism is the greatest threat to progress. There is nothing progressive about progressivism/leftism. What it is is a progressively expanding ingratitude and focus on the negative to the point of obsession. It is progressively growing resentment, bitterness, anger, envy, hate, rancor and discord. Darkness and destruction rather than progress.
Progressivism is the exaltation of the is-not above the I AM. And no good can ever come of it. Only evil. It is the very essence of evil, evil itself. It is destructive and toxic. It is anti-life. It is enemy to all that is good, holy and decent.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Progressivism’s ingratitude, murmuring, complaining, resentment, rancor and bitterness slams the gates shut and leaves one on the outside. Progressivism is the way of hell. It is a satanic deception. It is Luciferian, elevating the is-not above the I AM. It is the formula for widespread misery, suffering and destruction. It is to be rejected and condemned by all those looking for a life of blessing, peace and joy, and those who want a better life for others. Choose life. Choose light. Choose the I AM above the is-not.
The answer for America is definitely a spiritual one that includes a heart change. The Greek word for “repentance” in the New Testament is “metanoia” which mean a change of mind.
But repentance according to the Old Covenant (OC) of the law has been done away which required obedience to the law to be saved (Heb. 8:13).
Today we are under the New Covenant (NC) of grace whereby we are saved by grace, and the repentance or “change of mind” is leaving dead works (Heb. 6:1) to serve the Lord in the fulness of the Spirit.
In this case, repentance from dead works is turning from trusting in man and man’s government (such trust is cursed in Jeramiah 17:5-6) to once again trusting in the Lord and his goodness for our needs and wants (such trust is blessed in Jeramiah 17:7-8).
As you know, but many don’t seem to yet - although they are getting an inkling under Biden - the greatest threat to our freedoms, wellbeing, and livelihood is not Big Tech, China, or the Man in the Moon, but our own 80+ unconstitutional, now basically totalitarian government.
The America People need to change their minds about government being their friend who they trust to help them and look to God for their help and CUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOWN to its constitutional size and VERY LIMITED acts.
Nice, but doesn’t answer the question.
It doesn't matter if he believed God or not. God still set him in his place. He sets up evil kings as well as righteous ones. He always has, He does, and He always will until the King of Kings returns. Truth.
Sin destroyed Sodom, sin will destroy America. God isn’t going to intervene. He already did that on a cross. God chose to use man to work through, not do mans dirty work. God gave all free will. If that free will leads you to sin, sin leads you to death Roms 5:20. Get out of your comfortable church pews and go do what Jesus empowered you to do instead of wringing your hands and waiting for God to save your lazy backsides
It’s far more than the king (Bera is of course mentioned in Genesis 14, who had the honor of meeting Melchizedek but did not know the significance thereof), but also the ordinary people, who were exemplified by Lot’s neighbors (chapter 19).
Notwithstanding, the USA is supposed to know God, making a stark difference here. God doesn’t make an utter destruction of such people when they sin, even to more depraved levels than Sodom.
Don’t misinterpret Hebrews 8:13. Sin is defined by the law of God still, according to the New Covenant; the rest of the New Testament makes that plain, and it’s filled with admonitions against falling away from grace.
When 1/2 the population is insane in every way, too late!!!
