I just found out who will win the election! I am going to show it to you. Here you go.

Romans 13:1 - Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Who's going to win the election? God - The Lord Jesus Christ. He wins every election.

We have been through many of these "selections" and it doesn't matter who is in power, Republican or Democrat, because the Lord has always provided for me.

We know that the elections are controlled. But ultimately God controls the elections, and when you get corrupt leaders, it's because the people are corrupt. They are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. So, whoever we get in this coming selection is probably going to end up being a terror to the evil people.

But us Christians don't have to worry about that. The Bible says in John 8:36, "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed"

We don't have to worry about freedom and liberty coming from a bunch of devils in the white house. We get our freedom from God - The Lord Jesus Christ.

Do you want to be made free today and have a peace that passes all understanding, a peace that is there no matter what is going on in the world? Place your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and get saved today!

Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 5:8 - But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 10:9-10 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

The antichrist is going to win the election and then we will see God again.

@GeistInTheMachine God is in control. Satan can't do anything without God's permission. Just read the book of Job and you will see this.

@SW-User Read the Book of Revelation.

SW-User

@GeistInTheMachine I have and yes, Jesus Christ wins the final battle and war and the Kingdoms of this world become His kingdoms. He will set up His millennial kingdom and will be ruling physically on the earth, which will be the best time! How does the book of Revelation negate the fact that God is in control and always has been? It doesn't negate the fact that it is God who allows these things to happen. Again, I encourage you to read the book of Job.

@SW-User I never said God wasn't in control. What I am saying is that bad things are about to happen.

SW-User

@GeistInTheMachine I have never denied that. The Bible tells us that things are getting worse and they will continue to get worse.

2 Timothy 3:13 - But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

@GeistInTheMachine Why can't we see God now? And if God is in control (and God is supposed to be both omnipotent and omnibenevolent) then why do bad things happen at all, ever?

SW-User

@Bel6EQUJ5 Firstly, if you don't believe in God and if you don't have a final authority like the Bible, you can't even proclaim anything to be bad. You couldn't objectively define bad or justify why it is bad, because your worldview would be based in moral relativism since in your worldview there is no absolute moral law giver. It would all be based on the subjective feelings of the individual and on the opinions of our ever changing society and culture.

Secondly, the problem of evil - the biggest argument against Christianity is actually the biggest argument against atheism.

People will say that since bad things happen, there must not be an all loving God. This shows that many people base whether they believe in God or on their experiences. Our experiences do not determine what the truth is.

Let me say this, what if there is no God? Will evil things ever be made right? All the bad things that have happened to you in your life, all the horrible atrocities all throughout history, will they ever be made correct again if there's no God? No, it will just always be hopeless if there's no God. So, the problem of evil is not for Christians, it is for Atheists. Atheists have no solution. We Christians have the ultimate solution.

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 15:26, "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."

@SW-User

Firstly, if you don't believe in God and if you don't have a final authority like the Bible, you can't even proclaim anything to be bad.

Have you actually ever really read the Bible? I ask, because there is nothing good about it. Especially within the first five books, Genesis to Deuteronomy. It's nothing but an endless cycle of massacres, genocides, and other war crimes against the indigenous Canaanites (and other "ites", like the Amalekites).
A system of morality need not be based upon some "ultimate authority"; it just requires a recognition by the vast majority of people within any given society that certain actions are inherently bad, because they're inherently harmful to the individual and/or society as a whole. Killing and slavery are wrong, because they infringe upon the inherent rights (ex. freedom of association and movement) that no "authority", whether religious or secular, can take away from us.
And why only the Bible? Why not, for example, the Bhagavad Gita? Are you trying to suggest here that non-Christian nations can never be good, prosperous and admirable? Japan, Thailand, Taiwan and Singapore are all countries that have done remarkably well, and they're not Christian.

@SW-User "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" - Exodus 22:18
Hey, have you killed any witches lately? No?
If you've ever in your life encountered a witch, and yet allowed her to live, you've disobeyed one of God's commands, and you'll have to answer for that mistake in the end. You were a bad person (according to "God" anyway).

SW-User

@Bel6EQUJ5 Yes, I have, cover to cover. Again, the problem is that you are trying to define good and bad when you can't in your worldview. You have no justification for doing so.

Also, your premise is so illogical because here's your argument basically: I don't like the God of the Bible and he's not pleasant to me and I don't approve of him, so therefore he must not exist and the Bible must not be true. That doesn't even make any sense.

So, because you find the God of the Bible to be unpleasant, then you say that he must not exist. I'm not very pleasant to atheists, yet I exist. Here I am. You find the Bible to be unpleasant so you say that it must not be true. That is illogical. Apparently things can exist and be true without you approving of them. And the creator of the universe doesn't need your approval to exist.

This is true. In that book, Satan kills ten people, all with God’s approval. The only ones he’s credited for in the entire fictional Bible.

@Bel6EQUJ5 You can see "God" now. I call them Source, and I don't believe they have a true gender. If anything, more female than male.

I am a Gnostic and Occultist and more. There is not one title for it.

I also consider myself more a Christ Follower, not a Christian.

There is no nuance in modern day Christianity as they persecuted and killed the Gnostic Christians centuries ago.

I departed from mainline Christianity and I have a different understanding of Jesus. I do not follow Yahweh.

You would have to direct your questions to the OP gentleman here. If you want to see where I am coming from, start with the Gospel of Thomas and Theosophy if you're truly interested and not just trying to argue for it's own sake.
