What Trump wants to accomplish

Reads as wonderful!

'Course that paper ballot thing didn't work all that well at Florida back in 2000, what with the hanging chad and the overseer's reviews  of ballots that changed actual votes cast like mine, all because the reviewers thought it made no sense that a person would vote a straight Republican party ticket except to have voted for Pat Buchanan as President.  So they changed the votes to "W" Bush. As result  he then beat Al Gore  by a gnat's whisker.  Changed the course of history- for better or worse from a fallen world view standpoint- God ordains all leaders it says in my Bible ( Romans 13). So in the end it is all good  near as I see it.

Personally I will vote RFK Jr for president; however our hope certain is placed in our mutual Lord and savior Jesus.

Times like these make me think of how absolutely amazing by comparison to today that  it must have been to have read Paul's letters while he was alive, and Rome had been and or was being lit by the flaming light of burning Christians.

Amen Neighbor!

Conversely, read the DNC platform. In my secular thought and reasoning, what I do not comprehend is why almost half of America is against these ideals and self-destructive.

In my opinion, a conservative vote for a third-party candidate that cannot win is a Ross Perot vote, aiding and abetting the greater of two so-called evils, the Democratic Party.  

Another question that has concerned me is remedial judgment. Has the Lord had enough and turned America over to a debased mind, the lusts and desires of our wicked flesh? Given where we are at and the direction it is heading, I suspect that it is plausible.

How many of the dead will vote in this next election? How many unqualified people will cast ballots this go around? How many ballot stuffings will occur again? Or computer ballot preprogrammed tampering with no paper trail? What percentage of provable voter fraud is necessary before something serious is done about fair elections and the will of the people?

That time has probably already passed, with conservatives going to jail for questioning the 2020 election. Only conservatives.

I also am starting to wonder if this is the case....that God will start severe judgement against our country.   When they are targeting little innocent children with such things as sex changes...God is not pleased.

I think both parties can write up pretty words and promises. But how well do they live up to them? What are the price tags attached? What are the negatives? At least to my thinking this fits in. As cases in point concern for the environment and fairness in our economy are both admirable, but what other agendas are attached to that? Abortion for one, and as I'm fond of pointing out a major figure on the Democrat side is quite okay with members of Congress and their families using their knowledge of behind the scenes political/legal goings on when investing, something that would normally be considered insider trading. So much for fair. I don't see the Republicans as innocent of this kind of thing either, of course.

I feel like this is the case as well, though it doesn't bother me so much. At least to the extent that I accept it as something God foresaw and that it fits into His big picture. I'm reminded of I Peter 4:17: " For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?"

I've had very strong feelings that at some point America shifted from embracing Christianity on a spiritual level to embracing it on a cultural level. Now we're experiencing the results of that and seeing a counterculture that's hostile to it rising up in force.

It's a good many years that the gay agenda infiltrated a lot of churches.   They started infiltrating subtlety at first...then afterwards they had no qualms and paraded homosexuality openly as normal not sin.    Brainwashing anyone who didn't really know or believe the Bible.

So now we are in the midst of a crazy Woke generation...with children not knowing what gender they are and wanting sex change surgeries!  And Kamala Harris said "Be more Woke, not less Woke!" Dear Lord, save us from this woman.

Hi, Culturial Christianity. Syncretism:

"syncretism /sĭng′krĭ-tĭz″əm, sĭn′-/ noun

1 Reconciliation or fusion of differing systems of belief, as in philosophy or religion, especially when success is partial or the result is heterogeneous. 

2 The merging of two or more originally different inflectional forms. 

3 Attempted union of principles or parties irreconcilably at variance with each other."

A word new to me as a description of what has happened and is forming what are really cults of what once was  Christian faith local bodies of Christ Jesus.  That was the topic that developed  in the sermon I posted at Videos  Christian titled Colossians. It led to my seeing what are tar babies along the trail, distraction  for Pilgrims, as in the book Pilgrim's Progress. 

Even here  the website is not much different from social media in general now, what with the hyping of politicians instead of sharing one with another of our Lord and savior Jesus. Jesus becoming an add on, an endorsement of causes galore rather than the focus the core of our hope.  

So I am trying, for my own benefit, to stay away from the tar babies now, and refocus on core values, the one core value, hope certain in my Lord and savior Jesus.

At the beginning he intrigued me, but after so many crazy stories, I think otherwise, especially after he admitted to picking up a dead bear and placing it in his back seat.  Some of these politicians, including Biden and Trump and Harris, say the most bizarre things...
