Religion And Politics! by AntiChristian: 1:21pm On Mar 16, 2023
Upon all the Church campaigns and "youth take back your country" charge that came before the elections, it can be deduced that some Churches are still on same campaign!

Was it God's mandate that Obi didn't win and Tinubu won?
Is it true that if Obi was God's project no one can rig him out?

Can you explain Romans 13:1-2 and Daniel 4:17.

Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God. Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves

This decision is the decree of the watchers, the verdict declared by the holy ones, so that the living will know that the Most High rules over the kingdom of mankind and gives it to whom He wishes, setting over it the lowliest of men.’

Christians know that God is not interested in when men are choosing their kings and princes.

I don't know if Obi is God's project or not. All I know is that some very 3vil men have been ruling 9ja since 1960. If God wants to liberate a people he would not make the leadership choice for them. They need to choose to follow his plan.
And I see you are really having fun, your candidate won. Congrats. Let's hope you guys chose wisely for the good of all of us.

Re: Religion And Politics! by MaxInDHouse(m): 6:24am On Mar 17, 2023
God is not interested in the government where people have to decide who rules them {1Samuel 8:5-7} Satan is the one behind such ideology because he has gain control over the thoughts and feelings of the majority so he uses that to manipulate things among men.
In the Bible when the Israelites first demanded for a human King God told them what they will experience under their chosen system! 1Samuel 8:11-18
So when religious leaders meddle in politics i pity their followers because that's clear indication such men are wolves in sheep clothing {Matthew 7:15} instead of producing peace loving worshipers they will produce agitators and killers! Matthew 7:16-18
That is what has been affecting all the religions on planet earth except the true religion Jesus commissioned whose borrowed group name has been defamed throughout the earth then God began calling His own worshipers by another group name JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Isaiah 65:15

This is the one and only group where you can never find people thinking of how to support people in killing people just because their choice of ruler differs! Revelations 6:3-4

I beg to disagree. The leaders do not reflect the rightoeness of a people in anyway. The leadership are produced by the system not the people. Unless you think Europeans and Americans are the righteous people.

Actually I am not thinking of killing myself. You have a sick way of thinking. Since 1960 it has been problematic for 9ja but that's less than 70 years. Please read history. 70 years is nothing. Nations turn around.

There is this problem of thinking that God must pick leaders for a nation. Did He always even in the bible times. The answer is no.

Religionists for their thirst for power bring God to rulership. Most kings in the bible are by lineage e.g the Southern kingdom ( I know you don't know Bible), but in Northern Kingdom, warriors impose themselves on people majorly by coup d'etat.

While Mohammed (SAW), he didn't rule over Mecca! Immediately after his death, caliphs are formed. Kingdoms are seized by jihadists to forcefully rule and subjugate people.
The same was the idea of Fulanis starting from Uthman Dan Fodio, who wanted to 'deep' the Quran into the Sea.

This guy killed so many people not his love for Allah but rulership. The same viewpoint is held by fulanis today.

Hypocrisy spotted. Phillip F, the man who killed his brethren in Germany couple of days ago is an aggrieved 'apostates' person who was dissatisfied with his ruler's policies and took vengeance by killing innocent people in his local assembly.

Many that are shunned or disfellowshipped have committed suicide for I'll - treatment just as nigerian government is doing today!

MaximumSide, don't paint a picture of Eldorado for us. All human governments are the same!

It's obvious your mind is totally twisted so you can't grasp what i said that easily! grin


I'm not saying one or two persons can't get angered by the policies set surely there's no policy that goes down well with humans in general even God's laws led to the death of thousands of Israelites when Moses was alive.

So calm down and learn!

What God's Holy Spirit is doing among JWs today that's unique is that there will never ever be a time when God's people will support anyone in lifting weapons to fight against any human authority. Whoever is chosen by the world we will obey such a person as the ruler of the land where we live but participating in choosing or picking up weapons in support of any human ruler is what we will never do.

Do you get it now? wink

You are funny. Anyone can claim that a verse that dies not support his view is an idiom. Again, I don't need to give myself hope Jesus Christ the Son of God has given us all the hope we need. He is the Lamb slain before the foundations of the world. He was for ordained to pay for my sins.

What is the lie there? Did angels vote in Nigeria?
Did angels rig elections or vote?
Did Allah give any surahs of caliphs?

Though God still wants us to rule ourselves, He has not given any form of government: monarchy, democracy, autocracy, and any other.

That rigging is allowed by God is a lie.

Hosea 8:3/4
3 Isreal hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.

4. They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, AND I KNEW IT NOT:

1 Samuel 8:10-18 particularly 18

And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which he shall have chosen you: AND THE LORD WILL NOT HEAR IN THAT DAY "

AntiChristian:

Can you explain Romans 13:1-2 and Daniel 4:17...

Simple! Daniel has already told you "so that the living will know that the Most High rules". Meaning God, Wins, no matter what play man makes. The Lord will always win and will always do whatever He pleaseth Him to do.

Thus, Romans only warns kings are powerful because they are using God's Power and He has allowed man to have kings, so bend to them, for they are supposed to be Law enforcers and The Law is for good, in destruction of evil. So it is not reasonable to oppose them.

But when they do not do The Law, then they are weak for "a Kings throne is powered by righteousness". (Proverbs 16:12) so they can be thrown down. That is also what God has also set, the part that your kings and princes would never tell you because they desire to be Kings forever.

However
1 Samuel 8:10-18 particularly 18

And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which he shall have chosen you: AND THE LORD WILL NOT HEAR IN THAT DAY "

No one should disturb God about your kings and princes called politicians. It is the beds you people wanted and you bought so enjoy it and leave God alone.
