“As I study the Word, I believe today that the only reason that God fearing men havent risen yet, is that most have been restrained because of this doctrine.”
I think there’s a place in Romans where obedience to ungodly governments is addressed. I think most Christian people are restrained by this but also by the separation the government has been successful. Most of the evil is employed piece by piece and the frogs don’t even realize the temp is increasing.
“Im an infant scripturally, but I do believe he kept me for a reason, after letting me flounder in evil for many years.”
We all have things to learn in our walk. IMO though he never considered not keeping you or anyone else. They are the ones to make that decision.
Incrementalism is being employed very effectively. I think in 10-15 years the LEO’s will be wearing blue berets of the UN and tazers will be quite popular. Might be faster if Hillary is elected.
the "He knew my freewill choice before I made it" doctrine is one Ive struggled with. and as such, restrains my hand when dealing with perceived evil that is anything other than the 'in your face right now' kind. Its tough to say what my actions will be [trying not to overstep my bounds as if I could], because I have come to believe that whatever happens is exactly as its supposed to be at this moment, and therein lies our 'clock'. I simply strive today to do His will, not mine.
