Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty El, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of of hosts will perform this.
Isaiah 22:21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
1Corinthians 12:28 And hath set some in the assembly, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
2Peter 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
Peace...Mark

Exactly right Craig,
The video was attractive to me because it says so much in so few words. No politics intended. ::)
In the final alalysis scripture says we need a government of law as opposed to every person doing what seems good to themselves. That was the point I wished to offer for consideration.
Additionally, the BT forum like most organizations of friendly discussion still need rules and the rules should be based upon the established constitution or body of law that each member agreed to at the outset.
AND like the Supreme court of our land, the moderators (the supreme court) are appointed for life.
New members do not get to change/elect the court of last appeal. ;D ;D
And of course all of my comments above are subject to moderation by the proper authority.
Respectfully appreciate your caution, Indiana Bob

Nip it in the bud.

Hello Kathy & thanks,
What got my attention, as with things on the forum, is how uninformed the general population is.
When folks are stuck in christendom and don't check things out or aren't called out they really do not understand what would be obvious IF they were blessed with the understanding that Ray & Dennis have shared with us who read B T and who have been given the GIFT of understanding.
So many of my friends and relatives are living in a dream world thinking things will just go along as they always have, UNTIL the banks lose their assets and their pension goes down the drain. I suppose it is the same with their beliefs about God and His faithfulness. They just assume that the preacher knows what he is preaching about and they never bother to confirm what they are told. We are so blessed to know what we have been given that it is difficult to contain it in our hearts and minds.
Love and hugs, Bob
