It is utterly incredible and evil that a president should apply for a Vice President to run with him, whose qualifications required are, "baby killer".What makes it even more incredible is that this diabolical party should then ask people to vote for the murderous ideology which it presents for government and policy????? What is this world coming to? Life for everybody begins at conception, - to prevent this you have to kill/murder said life. Abortion is murder. Eccl 11:5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all." |

"The effects of sin on the understanding. It has dimmed and benighted man’s leading faculty, the understanding, which should show a man the difference between good and evil, and guide him in the way in which he should walk. Now it is too often an ignis fatuus (will-o’-the-wisp) which leads men into bogs and ditches, into errors and immoralities. Sin has blinded man’s understanding, and made him ignorant. It has depraved his understanding, and made him a fool.(ii) Sin has darkened man’s understanding. Poor man is wise to do evil, but to do good he has no knowledge (Jeremiah 4.22). There is none that understandeth, viz, as and what he ought (Romans 3.11). All the workers of iniquity have no knowledge (Psalm 14.4). Poor man is covered with Egyptian thick darkness; he is said to be not only dark, but darkness in the abstract (Ephesians 5.8), and, sadly, he is in love with darkness (John 3.19), and his light is darkness (Matthew 6.23)." (R.Venning)(Sinfulness of Sin) |

""Joe Biden, who says he is Catholic, and his running mate, Kamala Harris, who reports being Baptist.""Whats in a name? Whats in a religion? Whats in politics? Whats in a voters conscience? The proposed VP is Abortion Harris. Nobody with morals should vote Democrat. How many voters have no morals? In the Westminster Dictionary it states that religion should not dictate a persons moral standards..... "Religion and morality are not synonymous. Morality does not necessarily depend upon religion, though for some, this is "an almost automatic assumption." According to The Westminster Dictionary of Christian Ethics, religion and morality "are to be defined differently and have no definitional connections with each other. Conceptually and in principle, morality and a religious value system are two distinct kinds of value systems or action guides." (Wiki) Thus politicians are freed from the constraints of traditional moral standards. |

"Because of the corruption of his nature, the soul of man is not only darkened with a mist of ignorance by which he is disabled from comprehending divine truth, but he is also armed with prejudice and opposition against some parts of it. These are either most above or most contrary to some false principles which he has framed for himself. Just as a desire for self-sufficiency was the first cause of this infirmity, so he still languishes with a conceit of it. He contends for nothing more than he contends for an independence from any supreme power which might either help, hinder, or control him in his actions. This is that bitter root from which have sprung all those heresies and wretched contentions which have troubled the church, concerning the power of man in working his own happiness, and his exemption from the over-ruling providence of Almighty God. All these wrangling disputes of carnal reason against the word of God come at last to this head: whether the first and highest part in disposing of things in this world, ought to be ascribed to God or man? Men for the most part have vindicated this pre-eminence for themselves by exclamations that it must be so, or else God is unjust, and his ways are unequal." (John Owen) (Display of Arminianism) |

""majority of Americans no longer believe that Jesus is the path to salvation and instead believe that being a good person is sufficient""Salvation by self - or salvation by works has been around for centuries. It is the religious theory of the RCC and the Liberalist and Arminian churches. Liberalist churches such as the Anglican/Episcopalian crowd even deny repentance of sin, partly because they don't accept the true definition of sin within human beings. An example of this is the so called "gay-Christian" The Reformers were right in identifying the church as "visible and invisible" But God only saves His elect. "According as HE HATH CHOSEN us in him BEFORE the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of HIS WILL" Eph 1:4/5. |

"if we know anything of growth in grace and desire to know more, let us not be surprised if we have to go through much trial and affliction in this world. I firmly believe it is the experience of nearly all the most eminent saints. Like their blessed Master, they have been men of sorrows, acquainted with grief, and perfected through sufferings (Isa. 53:3; Heb. 2:10). It is a striking saying of our Lord, "Every branch in Me that bears fruit [my Father] purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit" (John 15:2). It is a melancholy fact, that constant temporal prosperity, as a general rule, is injurious to a believer’s soul. We cannot stand it. Sicknesses and losses and crosses and anxieties and disappointments seem absolutely needful to keep us humble, watchful and spiritual–minded. They are as needful as the pruning knife to the vine and the refiner’s furnace to the gold. They are not pleasant to flesh and blood. We do not like them and often do not see their meaning. "No chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness" (Heb. 12:11). We shall find that all worked for our good when we reach heaven. Let these thoughts abide in our minds ..... " (JCRyle. 'Holiness) |

Judging communism as "ignorance in action" is a mistake which many people make. In fact it is Satan's ideological deception of the masses. By tempting people to believe they are all equal he contrives to convince them that they can ideologically live together in complete political harmony. Which is impossible within the human race. The nation develops into a communist state where, "Some are more equal than others" Thus a stalinesque dictatorship is contrived from a seemingly acceptable proposition. A despotic party and leader then takes over the hearts and minds of the masses and convinces them that their leadership can make better decisions than the individual can. There is only one ideology more dangerous than communism - That is Liberalism. This in these modern times seeks to achieve its influence and control of people by allowing them to live in less authority and less regulation. Morals being replaced by relativism is a modern example of this duplicity. This sophistry! Spiritual darkness and wickedness (Eph 6:12) is the origination of communism and Liberalism. Thus by sin man allows himself to be dominated by a system which subjects him to serfdom and injustice. |

"Now if a deadly epidemic strikes, we should stay where we are, make our preparations, and take courage in the fact that we are mutually bound together (as previously indicated) so that we cannot desert one another or flee from one another. First, we can be sure that God’s punishment has come upon us, not only to chastise us for our sins but also to test our faith and love — our faith in that we may see and experience how we should act toward God; our love in that we may recognize how we should act toward our neighbor. I am of the opinion that all the epidemics, like any plague, are spread among the people by evil spirits who poison the air or exhale a pestilential breath which puts a deadly poison into the flesh. Nevertheless, this is God’s decree and punishment to which we must patiently submit and serve our neighbor, risking our lives in this manner as St. John teaches, “If Christ laid down his life for us, we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren” [1 John 3:16] When anyone is overcome by horror and repugnance in the presence of a sick person he should take courage and strength in the firm assurance that it is the devil who stirs up such abhorrence, fear, and loathing in his heart." (Martin Luther) (Whether one may Flee from Deadly Plague) |
