(By Bert Farias) As I’ve watched the media coverage of Trump protesters on the streets of America I’ve realized something. Many professing Christians are acting nearly the same way—getting angry with other Christians who voted for Trump and using contentious language to cause strife and division in the body of Christ. Stop it! Listen to the wise and sensible words of one of my minister FB friends:
“Critical and negative reactions to the election are everywhere, yet consider the possibilities: a conservative Supreme Court for decades; Roe v. Wade overturned; a reprieve from the current administration’s anti-church intrusions; a season of refreshing with the chance for kingdom expansion. But many cannot see this as they are blinded by the idea of a political utopia that does not include a carnal Donald Trump in the White House, an idea which is choking their capacity for reason and wisdom. We need to be smarter than this. Jesus said the people of this world are more shrewd than the children of light. He knew that narrow-minded ideology would always sacrifice possibility. Joseph ruled alongside the Egyptians in order to save his brethren. CONTINUE
Agree with much of the article. But examples of Joseph and Paul were godly men. We should be smart and look at the outcomes. Neither candidate was preferable based on moral purity!
Thank you for the interesting article. However, a few noteworthy facts “incorrectly” quoted
Paul was from Roman decent by birth
Paul was a “Scribe” having been taught by Gamaliel
Paul did NOT “side with the Pharisees”. He was a Pharisee (a group who believed in the resurrection of the dead).
Yeshua HaMashiach did NOT preach “Christianity”. Neither did Paul or any of the Disciples. Paul also did NOT proclaim “Christianity”. “Christianity” was / is something which Constantine proclaimed as “general inclusive Religion” under his reign to “incorporate all religions in one” and not offend anyone. This was taken further by the RCC (Harlot Church) of which appox. 33000 “Christian Denominations” are “daughters”.
Furthermore Donald Trump is NOT a “true” follower of “The Way” (Yeshua the Messiah) in the true Biblical sense. He has also NEVER witnessed that he has repented of his sin and accepted Yeshua as His personal Lord and Saviour. Neither Donald Trump NOR Hilary Clinton should have been allowed to “stand” as candidates for the US presidency. Both are “pathological liars”. Donald Trump has publicly stated that he accepts the decision of the US Supreme court of same sex “marriages” (NOT a true marriage but rather a “relationship/ union” between the two persons of the same gender). Essentially this does NOT differ in any way from what HC stands for.
Russia (Vladimir Putin) has outlawed ALL religions and in particular “Christianity”. Donald Trump is more than keen to establish strong ties with Russia (Vladimir Putin). Communism reigns supreme in Russia. Is that perhaps where Almighty YHVH is “allowing” Donald Trump (plus everything else) to “lead” the American people?! One thing is certain; his election is giving unquestionable momentum to the ushering in of the “anti-Messiah” one world ruler, one world religion, one world currency and the return of Yeshua and the establishing of His everlasting Kingdom.
Not sure how many people are actually aware of this fact.
I guess only time will tell.
