Then I heard another voice from heaven:
Come out of her, my people,
so that you will not share in her sins
or receive any of her plagues.
Revelation 18:4 🙏🙏
Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
I truly hope people realize before it is too late that they are engaging in idol worship of politicians and worldly power.
Many of you will deny it, just as people always do when confronted with their idols, but I pray at least one of you opens your eyes, turns away from it, and remembers that no man deserves the devotion, defense, and reverence that belongs to God alone.
By the way, after the Revolutionary War this country owed a freemason money.
James Swan was a Freemason.
According to records compiled by the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, he officially joined the St. Andrew's Lodge of Freemasons in Boston in 1777.
@sneaky_emu@bangovernment1@DoniTheMisfit@dalepartridge No he doesn't. Humans do.
God gave us freewill therefore freedom.
Youre not free from consequences though. Your actions determine you're destination after life.
Learn something.
@sneaky_emu@bangovernment1@DoniTheMisfit@dalepartridge Governments are instituted by men. If righteous men were chosen to be leaders, then the government would be benevolent.
But righteous men have no desire to rule over others by force.
@tedcruz You're not doing them any favors by saying "jews" when he was literally talking about the state.
It's like you and the others are setting them up not to be liked.
Rebelling against God has consequences. This is one of the clearest examples of how people trust human law over God’s law.
The Bill of Rights was written to place limits on government power, yet even within it, men accepted the idea that property could still be taken from someone by force through "due process" and compensation.
In other words, as long as the state followed procedure and paid for it, theft could be legalized under human authority.
But the Law of God doesn't leave loopholes.
"Thou shalt not steal," you cannot take something that doesn't belong to you without the owner's consent.
It doesn't make exceptions for kings, politicians, courts, law enforcement, majorities, agencies, or governments.
God did not say, “Thou shalt not steal…unless it is voted on,” or "unless compensation is offered afterward."
If something does not belong to you, you have no righteous claim to take it without consent.
The Tenth Commandment goes even deeper. God did not just forbid theft itself; He forbade coveting.
We are not even supposed to desire or want to take control over what belongs to some else. The corruption begins in the heart long before the theft happens in practice.
Human governments spend thousands of pages trying to justify what God condemned in a single sentence.
They invent licenses, permits, eminent domain, forfeitures, "rescues", taxes, and legal exceptions to make legalized theft appear righteous. But no statute can overrule God’s commandment.
That alone shows the superiority of the Lord’s law over the laws of men. And that is only dealing with property.
@sneaky_emu@Starlakitty@DoniTheMisfit@dalepartridge This is your version of the 10 Commandments. Do not steal unless its the government doing it. Do not kill unless its the government doing. Love your neighbor unless they grow a plant then the government can throw them in jail. Like I said. You worship the state.

Most political systems are built upon institutionalized coveting. Entire voting blocs are taught to desire the property, labor, wealth, land, or productivity of others through legislation.
Scripture condemns the heart condition before the act ever happens.
Human law increasingly treats rights as permissions granted by the state, while biblical and natural law treat rights as inherent because man is made in the image of God.
