The Blind can't see...

mharrell08:
Thank you all for your replies but this is not so much about politics. Politics is just one of many idols of the heart that people continue to worship.

The emphasis was not about who's in office...it's about how people place so much faith and trust in any one person but reject the gospel. That is why I stated I feel as a stranger in a heathen land. All these nations on this earth reject the true gospel and follow their many idols of the heart.

This is not about putting God in a box...it's about how people 'think' they can put God outside of their own box. We all know all is of God...but that does not change the fact that Satan is the head of the nations. Was Christ lying when He stated His kingdom is not of this world? Or when He stated that WE were not of this world?

I get excited as God draws me closer to Him...as well as my brothers and sisters here on the forum. A leader who does not worship the truth and follow after Christ does not excite me in the least. That's why I will always continue to feel as a stranger looking afar off for the promised land. That's where Christ is leading his spiritual Israel...not to continue to wallow in Egypt.


Thanks,

Marques

Marques, I  so agree with you. I just feel like I don't belong here. I am sure God has a plan in his selection. But, we as his children should know that world is not
ever perfectly happy. It still has sin and it still has trials and we still die. To me it is much like the let down I use to have after Christmas. Its all an illusion.

I am just so happy to have friends to fellowship with on here. I feel like a stranger in my home. All, I can say we can thank God when he chastens us.
Besides not having it so good can keep us close.

In His Love, Marlene

Hey Marques,

I can relate to feeling like a stranger in a strange land.
Have felt that way most of my life.

I apologize as I don’t always convey my thoughts properly but my meaning about putting God into a box is this. Before God called me I believed in God as the world does without the truth of God because the ability to see God’s truth was not in me.

I never had anything to do with choosing Christ, he chose me, I accept God’s truth because He has open my eyes to it and I really had no chose here either as God has made it as clear as day to me.

Now I believe in God with His undeniable truth but this is God’s doing not my doing. So when we encounter people that don’t except God’s truth we find it amazing but what I find amazing is that I believe the truth. It was right there in my face all along but I never saw it. I now wonder how I ever believe that God actually sends people to hell.

It’s not a person’s fault they do not believe, its God’s doing. I talk to some people about God’s truth and they look at me like I’m out of my mind or way off course. You know, they feel people are wicked and evil and God just has to torture these people forever.

So we who know the truth should not be surprised or shocked or even amazed that people don’t except the truth but if we are surprised or shocked or amazed that is to deny God’s truth that He is not calling the whole world at this time.

So when I see people cheering for their favorite football hero or screaming over some rock star I expect that. When I hear people speaking evil of God or don’t believe in God or reject the truths of God I’m not surprise at all, I’m not even shocked, its God’s purpose.

But if I become shocked or amazed am I not in contempt of God’s truth? I guess that is what I mean about putting God into a box.

But that’s just where I’m at with my walk with God right now. The truth is, the more I understand about God’s truth the more I understand God’s love for humanity.

Let’s face it, if God wanted to open everyone’s eyes now, everyone would accept God’s truth and no one would place their trust in any man or women but only in God.

The wonderful truth and Good news is that one day God will open everyone’s eyes and save all people.

                                                 In God’s love. Richard.
