10:06 It sounds to me as though Pastor Wilson is explaining this scripture like the parishioners cheirotoneó. But the scripture appears to read as though "They (Paul and Barnabas) cheirotoneó elders for them"

He’s being disingenuous to fit his agenda. You are correct. This was Paul and Barnabas selecting elders, not the congregation!

Interesting and pertinent information from Doug, as always! I always enjoy hearing his Biblical perspective on these issues. There is one area of concern that I have, however, regarding voting as a family (I'm talking about voting in local, state and federal government issues, not church government), as opposed to having both the husband and the wife vote. It would not be a fair representation unless everyone (Christian and non Christian alike) voted as families. For (an overly simplistic) example, suppose that the nation consisted of an equal number of Christian and non Christian families. Now suppose that all of the Christian husbands voted as heads of their families (whatever the issue, i.e., abortion, gay marriage, etc.) and all of the non Christian families voted individually (husband and wife) and opposite of how the Christian families voted. There would be two non Christian votes for every one vote by Christians. No legislation based on Biblical principles would ever pass (in this overly simplistic example).

cracks me up how much people underestimate Trump. Let's see what happens

[@mkshffr4936]

What happened was Operation Warp Speed and Corona Virus Task Force along with support for red flag laws. Part of the calculus must be the instability of a candidate with no core other than selfish ambition. The problem was not so much the votes in the general election but that the church allowed Rush Limbaugh and Fox News to choose the primary winner. We all wanted our own bully and ignored Trump's long history. However corruption at the National Convention played a part as well.

@@jackgtx440 It is not as unique as you think. Multigenerational homes are the norm in most of the world and becoming more common in the U.S. I do not think voting by households makes sense. To say a wife's vote could cancel out her husband's vote is like saying my vote cancels out my neighbors. Individuals are easier to count and define.

Right...so you’ll just stand back while lawlessness and evil corrupt children and bring society to the brink of collapse, because a former president texted mean things and democrats have lost their minds? It is our Christian duty to speak truth and resist evil. I’d advise you to get off your high horse, and remember that you are a sinner like the rest of us who can offer nothing to God, but you can serve your neighbor in love by resisting evil. But before you do all that, read your bible again, and read it a little more closely.

[@joejohnson9499]

Just to make people aware, democracy and republic have noted history back in Rome in B.C. . Christianity cannot lay claim to either of these. Secondly, it is possible to view voting as important and not some sort of sacrament. Also, it is a possible point of view that each adult citizen should be able to vote because they live in the place in which they are a citizen. Some of us non-conservatives are not exactly as you have heard us described to be. I encourage you to ask us our views instead of assuming what they are.

When was there a raid on trumps house? That makes it seem as though there wasn’t a search warrant. I cannot get behind someone who lies as he does, and while some laugh at the words he uses to describe people, I think it shows his personality. As did him paying for sex while his wife was pregnant with his child. As a woman who’s had four children that to me is not something I can look past. If he would do that to his wife, who he took an oath to in front of God, he can break his oath to people he doesn’t know, like the population of the United States.

It's not "fatalism". It's recognizing the fact that God ultimately decides the destiny of a nation or kingdom as the sovereign Ruler of the universe. God uses ppl, but He hardly requires anybody's vote. That's why the model prayer in Matt. 6 says "may _Your_ will be done on earth".

[@toneshop]

Went to christian school for 10 years growing up. I was told that God is an invisible man who lived in the sky. He gave us 10 commandments that we must follow to abide in his grace. Also, that we must worship him because is all that is good. We read the Bible every day and attended service 3X per week. When we studied the Bible, I read that God destroyed his enemies, He really did a number on the Egyptians too. The Bible has Fathers killing their sons, and other unbelievable atrocities. I read that Noah was 700 years old, there was a talking snake, etc. When I grew up, I realized that the Bible is NOT the word of God, but rather written by people that believed (at the time), that the earth was flat. When I got to college, and later to Graduate level studies, and thus , critical thinking, I felt deceived by my Pastor and ALL of my "Christian" education so long ago. I now consider Religion, ALL religions as the greatest B.S. story ever told. The Christian voter? Really? How do you pull God into voting? Me thinks that you are obviously pushing a personal agenda for your "followers" . I too was a "follower" once. That is until I learned to think for myself.

[@mchristr]

It was my university study of philosophy and religion that convinced me of the veracity of the biblical texts and of humanity's universal need for the Gospel. Since humans are worshiping creatures who all have worldviews based upon unproven assumptions (yes, even "science" is grounded in faith), what would be your substitute for biblical revelation?

[@aallen5256]

@@mchristr Is science faith-based though? I thought it was based on hypothesis and experiment, also the field self-corrects so we are always approaching the best, most accurate explanation - unlike religious texts! Science is based on proving / demonstrating the veracity of assumptions, whereas questioning or trying to prove the truthfulness of religious claims is totally discouraged within the religion; Muhammad flying on a horse, Eve being made from a rib, etc.

[@ericmatthaei9711]

You seem to be offended by a God who destroys his enemies. Don’t they all? If you step out of line, and openly defy deified “science,” won’t you be destroyed by the priests and kings of “science”? The question is not whether, but which. And you may say, “Okay, but religious deities (like the God of the Bible) punish their enemies with death, while secular deities (if there is such a thing) punish much more lightly.” Are you sure? Are you sure that the difference in punishments is really a difference in principle, and not a difference in time (a kind of social evolution, where ostracism has become or is becoming preferable to violence across all societies)? People who were subjected to COVID tyranny, for example, discovered first hand how gentle the god of “science” can be. The god of climate change “science” is working assiduously to provoke a worldwide famine. Science and reason are not gentle or benevolent deities. They are unrighteous gods, groping blindly for the truth because they have turned off the Light.

[@aallen5256]

@@ericmatthaei9711 i think you’re getting confused between the literal and the metaphorical.. There is no actual deity of science, or climate change, but you do believe in a supreme divine being, right?

[@ericmatthaei9711]

@@aallen5256 "Science" as religion is the belief that all knowledge is accessible through the scientific method. We cannot point to some specific, unified, all-encompassing personification of "Science" demanding worship (certain recent pretenders notwithstanding), and certainly the idol is a false or unreal god; but this doesn't make it a metaphor. Dame Reason, if you want to give her a name, demands real devotion, and seeks the real destruction of people who do not worship her. Maybe the literal/metaphorical dichotomy was meant to distinguish stoning from public shaming, and certainly the two things are not alike, except that they are both real (or "literal") and clearly not metaphorical.
