Yes, got the feeling that neither side is planning on accepting the election results if their side doesn't win it. It came to mind how Babylon was divided in two, according to the writing on the wall. Medes and Persians....Darius and Cyrus. Many prophecies also have been saying that if America divides Israel in two, God will divide America. Christians should not be dividing over politics though....politics is just a matter of opinion, and everybody has one. Our primary concern is just the kingdom of God, not the kingdoms of this world. Every Christian should be voting Republican. I don't believe any real Christian can support a party that wants to kill babies and have gay marriage and those are major parts of their platform. To me, no real Christian can be a Democrat today. It will be hard for any politicians of a democracy to get those genies back in the bottle as long as the majority of the people support those things. (not without an oppressive regime) The answer is the gospel...people's hearts need to be changed through the gospel...and then they will no longer support unGodly policies and practices. The church has gotten too prosperous and comfortable and this is causing her to sit on her lees instead of being an army preaching the gospel. And that is why the values and morals of the nation have been changing....God is giving the victory to the 'heathen' and no longer to the church. Just like Israel in the bible...she forgot God when she became materially prosperous and unchallenged by persecution of surrounding armies.

Me and sister oh hello were just reading about more of this yesterday in ezzekial . The next step was judgment and chastisments . Let us simply cling to God , His every word . Let us be praying one for another and keep up with all sound reminders . Let the Lord be praised . We have all reason to be very thankful to God that HE is working on us and He shall supply all that we truly have need for , which brings HIM the HONOR and the GLORY .

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Ephesians 5:3-5

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Ephesians 5:3-5 In addition to these words by the Apostle Paul, I want to add the next thing he said from the same passage, from Ephesians 5:6-7
Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye partakers with them.
That is a pretty strong warning. Paul is warning Christians that the wrath of God will come down on "the children of disobedience," and then tells these same Christians to "be not partakers with them." To give such a warning, it must mean that God will pour out his wrath upon disobedient Christians, not just outright unbelievers.

Couple that with all the warnings to the seven churches . And yes indeed we see exactly what GOD will do . We see He desires repentance First , but if that is not made , HE will send down the wrath . To fight against someone with the Sword of His mouth , well that sounds like it is no place any man would want to be . To put ones candle out , sounds like no place no man wants to be . IF our glorious LORD says something , rest assured HE is not a man that can lie . He speaks not in vain . HIS WORDS and truth and soberness . Thus if error is spotted , CORRECTED it must be .

And what do you think an example of vain words would be . WHY did paul say , LET NO man decieve you with vain words , ITS FOR these very THINGS that the wrath of GOD will come and not to therefore be partakers with them . VAIN words are telling folks , oh we sin a hundred times a day , OH we could sin all day and still could not send ourselves to hell . And i have heard those vain words getting taught by some men . Those are vain words . FOR GOD will not be mocked . What we sow to , IS GONNA be WHAT a man reaps . SOW to the flesh , prepare to reap destruction , BUT sow to the SPIRIT and ye reap everlasting life . GOD will not be mocked .

Vain words . OH GOD Understands , OH being gay or etc is not sin , or ye can do these things and not send yourself to hell . Those are vain words . cause i never once seen paul imply that if we sow to the flesh a hundred times a day , ALL IS WELL , OSAS CHURCH . I never heard that . I dont claim to be guenius , BUT i know i NEVER READ that . IN fact i have read quite the opposite , quite often in that bible . Let the lambs get busy living FOR JESUS , or they will only be decieving themselves .
