Politics ?voting
rick:
I've been very interested in politics for some time now but since reading the lake of fire series politics have taking on a different meaning to me knowing that man does not direct his own footsteps.
I find myself loosing interest in this area after understanding God is in full control and there is no such thing as free will or choice. Yes its true I'm in the world but not apart of the world and lately I been wondering why do I vote? Does not the word of God say that Satan offered the kingdoms of the world to Jesus.
So what devil should I vote for? Answer none of them. After reading the lake of fire series D 2 Hell /Tophet and molech in Himmon I come across this by Ray
(The Bohemian Club (founded in 1872 ) is a private men's art club based in San Francisco , California , with a membership of many prominent local and global leaders. Some prominent figures are given honorary membership only, Richard Nixon and William Randolph Hearst being two notable examples.
Members include some U.S. presidents (usually before they are elected to office), many cabinet officials, and CEOs of large corporations, including major financial institutions. Major military contractors , oil companies, banks (including the Federal Reserve ), utilities, and national media have high-ranking officials as club members or guests
Every year the club hosts an annual two week camp at Bohemian Grove , which is notable for its illustrious guest list and its eclectic Cremation of Care ceremony involving a mock human sacrifice at the feet of a forty-foot stone owl.
The primary activities taking place at the Grove are varied and expensive entertainment, such as an elaborate Grove Play (known as "High Jinx") and musical comedies ("Low Jinx") � where female roles are played by men in drag � produced by the members and associate members of the Club. Thus, the majority of common facilities are entertainment venues, interspersed among the giant redwoods
The ceremony takes place next to a 45-foot (15 m) high concrete owl statue. During the ceremony, audio plays through nearby speakers providing the illusion of a speaking statue. The voice of the former-newsman Walter Cronkite , a member of the Bohemian Club, is used as the voice of The Owl during the ceremony.
President Richard Nixon: "The Bohemian Grove, that I attend from time to time � the (inaudible) and the others come there � but it is the most faggy g - - d - - - thing that you would ever imagine. The San Francisco crowd, it's just terrible. I can't even shake hands with anybody from San Francisco." � President Richard M. Nixon , Bohemian Club member starting in 1953 (Domhoff, p 15);
Other Bohemian members and guests include: George P. Shultz, Gerald R. Ford, Henry Kissinger, William F. Buckley, Jr., Merv Griffin, Joseph Coors, Edward Teller, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Casper W. Weinberger, Colin Powell, Newt Gingrich, Frank Popoff, Danny Glover, Alexander Haig, Chuck Yeager, Donald Rumsfeld, TV personality Chris Matthews, gay porn star Chad Savage, Charlton Heston, Jack London, Art Linkletter, Jimmy Carter, Dwight Eisenhower, and hundreds of other prominent politicos, businessmen, military leaders, and foreign heads of state and dignitaries.
I merely present a few facts concerning this strange ritual in the forest without lending credence to either of two broad interpretations of what this Club represents: pagan rituals with gross immorality involving prostitution and drunkenness, or just a little fun in the sun for high level movers and shakers to relax for a few weeks. But I think we seriously have to ask ourselves, of the thousands of possible settings and themes for a high level elitists men's club: why a sacrifice to a giant pagan idol in the woods to purge themselves of the cares of this world? And why are many of these same barons of politics, industry, and media also members of the Freemasons, Skull and Bones, and similar ghastly and secret fraternities
I cast my vote for Jesus Christ Son of the living God and Him only.
Peace and Love to all of you.

I personally don't vote because I belong to the kingdom of God. We are to be a peculiar people, a holy nation.
What citizen belonging of one nation, votes in the affairs of another?
My vote belongs to the kingdom of God's. There it is cast. I do not meddle in the affairs of other nations.
In the world, NOT of it ;)
That's just my take though, others may love to disagree!
God bless,
Alex
P.S. That doesn't stop me from getting frustrated at the evil of governments or politicians though. I could talk your ear off about it just like anyone else! :P
rick:
That's what I'm beginning to see also, The lake of fire series has really open my eyes or I should say God is opening my eyes through the lake of fire series.
I been seeing many changes in me lately such as how I view thing and things that once turned me on now turn me off and now this politic thing I'm seeing as something to flee from.
Love and Peace to all.
Dave in Tenn:
First I lost my religion. Then I lost my 'upbringing'. Then I lost my ideologies. Then I lost my politics. I don't miss them.
I haven't joined the 'other side' in any of them having lost my own. There is very little I like to 'talk about' on the subjects because no matter which side of the fence my 'talking partner' is on, it's highly unlikely they believe in God--protestations to the contrary. Let the dead bury the dead.
rick:
Dave, all these things your talking about is what I'm feeling this day. My interest are changing so much, even my favorite sin such a drag to me. No doubt Christ is working wonders in me as such I have never experience before and its incredible ,painful and sometimes confusing too.
Thanks for your response Dave.
Love and peace to all.
