Maybe because you paid it off? What makes you think that no one else on this forum has done that. You aren't more special than anyone else.

And one nation under God has been around for longer than Barrack has been alive. It's for swearing in and how in the world do you get that church and swearing into a public office are linked. Wishful thinking?

Kind of like GWB/Dick Cheney/Karl Rowe (yeah, GWB was a "wonderful" Christian man, but what about the two mentioned who really drove the underlying policies?). You did the right thing! Our Lord and Savior is ABOVE the political BS of mortals (I reference Jerry Falwell who once mentioned Jesus, if he were openly dwelling the face of the earth at the time, would be a conservative republican).
Yes... I believe the Republicans use the evangelicals to get votes. That's why they have to be so anti-gay, whether they truly are or not. They have to toss a bone to the evangelicals every now and then. Really, they couldn't turn the gays straight or outlaw abortion back when they controlled everything? Equally, the Democrats use gay people for votes, tell them what they want to hear, toss a bone here and there. We're all pawns.

My church is liberal for sure, in it's inclusiveness. But never have we been handed a voter guide or had a politician speak other than a member who is a member of Congress did the reading of the Gospel once that I remember, but she's just a member and didn't say anything political. I'd leave if I were ever told how to vote. I do recall a Baptist church near our home in California where I'd see "voter guides" in the parking lot around election times. I find that shameful.

Well according to Bank of America, I still owe quite a bit. If you only had ears to hear. I can tell you with all truthfulness that the Father has given His Son all authority on this earth. You know the Spirit does not lie. The same Spirit that lived in Jesus lives in me.

Then you should know all about Divine Love and what It does. Instead, you still harbor lies about Jesus and His sacrifice. You should also know that the bible is not all truth and that men are fallible. You should also know that the spirit of Jesus is His and His alone. Unless you are talking about the Holy Spirit, in which no one can own because it is God's instrument that He uses to convey His Love into the soul of each man. You should also know that you are not above anyone or below, that you are equal. Just stating the obvious. If you choose to believe otherwise about God's Divine Love then you are an imposter pretending to be something you are not. I'd call that delusional but hey, I'm merely human and working on perfection.

BTW, if you still owe a bank and you aren't paying, that's called stealing. Jesus always paid His financial debts so you cannot be like Him in that way. Pay your mortgage cause in the end, no matter who you say you are, it will catch up to you.

Some see the situation as the republicans using the evangelicals, while I see the evangelicals using the republican party as a vehicle to legislate religious dogma.
If God does not see fit to support the church for some reason, that the church needs to resort to the state power or to hire the civil authorities to advance spiritual values, methinks then that the church's agenda has gone askew somewhere. God will always support His people so long as they are fully surrendered to Him. But once they start down the road to seeking political power for whatever reason, they are committing spiritual adultery.
That is the principle reason why the RCC is an apostate church. Because it is a union of church and state, sadly, a union that the American protestant church is seeking to emulate, "making an image to the beast". (Read Revelation 13)

You are so lost. You have no Faith.
The authority given to Me is from the Father. I warn the Dark powers of this earth what not to do. But, they decided their powers are greater than the Father's. They decided to start wars for oil. Destroyed families and this earth for their deceitful pleasure.
So I challenge them against the authority of God the Father. Who has given His Son all authority.
And, the Bible is built on the foundation of the Rock, Jesus Christ.

You do not have all authority. You are merely human working on perfection. If you were perfect as our Father is perfect, you would gently guide and let them do as they wish because you have no control over anyone's free will. Jesus guided gently and if the people didn't want to follow Him, He left them alone. If we can control it, we help. If not, we let it go and do what we can for someone else. That's just the way it is.

You don't know me. You only read words I write. You don't know the condition of my soul so please don't say something about me that you don't know to be true. My faith lies with God and His Love. He has given it to me so I know without a doubt that I will someday be in His Kingdom.

There can only be one Jesus so please stop telling people that you are Him. I'm pretty sure Jesus wouldn't like it very well. You are Roman Whatever.

Revelation speaks to My Truth. And, I would be lying and would defile the Spirit that is in Me if I said anything that was not Truth. And, yes, I AM Roman, as in Roman Catholic, as in a Soldier for the Truth. A Warrior who rides a White Horse of Justice. Jesus Christ. It's in Revelation. And, Christ has a New Name.

Yup. We have someone like you that started in our church. He now proclaims he is Jesus. So, two Jesus'. Hmm. Well that can't be. So one of you must be lying or both.

I do believe Jesus is in the Celestial Heavens and helps us from there. He'll return to earth once we reach Light and Life to celebrate with us. I can tell you now, that won't be for quite some time. If you do not know of Divine Love, you are not Jesus.

There are many imposters. But, there is only One who God the Father put His Spirit upon. I AM.
