Youre still around 60-odd% of my readership, (Lord have mercy on your souls) and this very day, please take just less than half an hour to listen to one of your own in this video.
My comment -
1 Timothy 2:1-4
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Since 2019 or thereabouts, there has been an increase from preachers committing the very strange habit of cutting this passage clean in half to prove that a 'good Christian' is pro government even if they're against you personally.
2 things.
That verse explicitly states the reason to pray for your leaders is so that they (state leaders and their agents) leave you (Christians) alone, with the freedom to witness, so that men can get saved as a result of said 'peaceable life'. (Prov 14.34)
Try living in a country where historically the state has ordered attacks and massacres on its own civilians, and then be told by some that you should pray for its success (in order to continue said bloodshed, I'd presume?) or maybe I should (as a 'good Christian citizen') pray for more of this sort of successful endeavour as well?
Like Andrew says in that video, no matter who is 'in charge' tomorrow, (I say that tongue in cheek as its been a uniparty ran by Rome via the UN/CFR since WW2) the important thing is for your prayers to be directed to the second part of that passage, for your own sakes, practically.
Christians, please do not be fooled into praying for the success of your evil elites.
Luke 4:5-6
And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
Daniel 4:17
This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
John 17:9
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
Furthermore as some born again, state idolator (raised hard on its propaganda) will surely chuck
1 Peter 2:13-14
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
Titus 3:1
Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
and
2 Peter 2:10
but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
at me, I then say temper it prayerfully in each situation with -
Acts 5:29
Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
And know that being compliant to tyranny is being complicit to tyranny, (James 4.17) and 1 Peter 2.13-14, regularly cut in half by the same preachers, (Jer 36.23) must be looked at in view of the state. Is it currently punishing evildoers, or rewarding them? Does it allow the freedom to do right (1 Tim 1.5) or is it praising (rewarding) them that do wickedly? (Prov 28.12) in Titus 3.1, which is also satanically cut in half to facilitate 'blind obedience' to the government, what happens when the principalities, powers, and magistrates are hindrances to the 'good works' of a Christian? regarding the most famous proof text of state idolatrous Christians, the famous Rom 13.1-4, why if they do the opposite of verses 3-4 in that passage?, should you still obey them? its like working for a boss who got fired for malpractice / abdication of duty. IE a contract, otherwise known as a covenant only works if BOTH parties do their part. When one fails to do so, they get fired for breach of contract (covenant) and the other party doesn't have to continue under it. I wrote about what exactly the British covenant is, that the Royals and their parliament actually sign up to, and what happens when they 'get fired' by the people in my note in Judges 18.30, which runs several pages of the book, due to local pulpits to me having a genuine fit over my 'her maj' blog posts and trying to sound smart about it. They would be a lot better sticking to their fundamentals and outward standards they've 'preached' on weekly for decades.
Basically, Both America and the UK highest 'power' of the land is the constitution, (note the wording of Rom 13.1 carefully) and its a contract between them and the people. Both systems (American and British) are NOT democracies. The blethering of 'democracy democracy democracy' out of pulpits to explain this topic away is proof those same preachers are under the same spiritual influence as Joe Biden and the like. 'Our democracy' is a buzzword in the media to program the listener to think they are being unfair and undemocratic or even bah! the horror! raayyyy-sist for not going along with their direction. Which is always international communism.
The whole chapter of 2 Peter 2 is about 'libertinism' which is deviants and degenerates chomping at the bit to establish chaos in order to legalise and normalise their degeneracy without governmental restraint. (Eg Antifa & Hairy feminist types --->)
Oh and no, Christian, the answer in life isn't 2 Peter 2.13 either!
