All human authorities have been instituted by the Almighty (Ro. 13) unless it is directly in contradiction with God's word. True or false?
Romans 13:1-2 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities; for there is no authority except from God, and those authorities that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists authority resists what God has appointed,
The above Scripture is often misconstrued and misinterpreted by Bible scholars who have assumed that this particular passage is an "absolute decree" by the Almighty.
However, verse 1 is badly worded, because it claims that "there is no authority except from God", which means that "God is the source of every human authority".
But elsewhere, there are clearly exceptions to the rule, which means that this statement cannot be "absolute".
Such as Pharaoh's refusal to free the OT Israelites from their bondage, which clearly contradicts the divine will.
Consequently, Romans 13:1 cannot be an "absolute decree" at all, because elsewhere in the Bible such examples have clearly served to demonstrate that "God cannot be the source of every human authority".

Politics8 months agoThe vessels of destruction in Romans 9:22 is only concerned about the Second Coming of Christ. True or false?
By definition, Romans 9:22 is only concerned about the countries who will be destroyed during the Second Coming of Christ, and therefore, it is completely false to suggest it is concerned about "every generation"in the past, present & future.
Because the "vessels of destruction" is only concerned about the countries that God will destroy during the Great Tribulation, which is the same generation as the Second Coming of Christ (Daniel 24:1, 6, Romans 9:22).
Ultimately, Romans 9:22 is only concerned about the generation who are destroyed by God during the Great Tribulation, which will happen during the Second Coming of Christ.
However, Romans 9:22 has no relevance to other generations who are not contemporary to the Second Coming of Christ.
Consequently, Romans 9:22 is only concerned about the countries who are destroyed by God during the Great Tribulation, which is the same generation as the Second Coming of Christ.
True or false?
1 AnswerPolitics8 months agoThe vessels of destruction in Romans 9:22 is concerned about Any country destroyed by God during the Second Coming of Christ. True or false?
Both the US and UK befits the general description of the "vessels of destruction" in Romans 9:22.
Therefore, it is Not adding to God's word at all (Revelation 22:18) by using the "general equation" to derive a more specific example of the "general formula" in Romans 9:22.
For such a pretentious 'argument' is clearly a Lie.

1 AnswerPolitics8 months agoIt is completely false to suggest that the New Testament writers have made no mention about race or skin colour. True or false?
Matthew 25:41 Then he will say to those at his left hand, “You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels;"
Matthew 25:43 For I was a stranger and you did not welcome me,
The above Scripture (verse 43) says that Jesus will be rejected as a "stranger" (or outsider), which means he is rejected on the grounds of his race or skin colour.
Ultimately, the question of race or skin colour is still a major theme in the new covenant, because it is specifically mentioned within the context of the Judgment seat of Christ in Matthew 25:31, 41, 43.
Therefore, it is completely false to suggest that the New Testament writers have made no mention about race or skin colour.

Physical superiority does not imply superiority in an Ontological sense.

Therefore, you can be "superior" in one sense, but "inferior" in another sense.

Law & Ethics12 months agoJesus will succeed where Hitler and Napoleon both failed. But what are you going to do about it?
Hitler and Napoleon were bloodthirsty warmongers who dreamt about world conquest, but they ultimately failed because they attacked white countries who are protected by the covenant of Christ.
However, Jesus Himself will succeed where Hitler and Napoleon have failed, because his followers will attack the countries in the Third world who are not protected by the new covenant.
Such countries are easy targets because they are not protected by the covenant of Christ. And therefore, Jesus will establish his global dominion by attacking the nations and continents who are not protected by the new covenant.
For such a worldwide conquest will be the basis of God's Eternal Kingdom, which is a global and colonial empire according to Daniel 2:44, 7:14, 27.

Armageddon is rooted in racial conflict, violence and GENOCIDE. Jeremiah 25:33
For it is necessary to give the enemy a taste of their own medicine, but the divine retribution will be disproportionate to defeat the enemy.

4 AnswersPolitics1 year agoPolitical tolerance is the reserve of humans. Because people always have limited powers it is necessary to be tolerant. True or false?
Toleration is a matter of expedience, but not a political ideal as such.
Expedience is necessary, because humans always have limited powers.
However, God cannot be constrained by such expedient measures, since he has more power than any human.
Rather than political tolerance God will exterminate people, groups and ideologies who disagree with Him.
But what are you going to do about it?
Politics1 year agoFighting fire with fire is the best way to defeat the enemy. True or false?
This means that your reaction must be disproportionate to defeat the enemy, because "disproportionate retaliation" is the way that wars are fought and won (by definition).
For it is necessary to give the enemy a taste of their own medicine, but your response must be disproportionate to defeat the enemy.
Consequently, the enemy must be butchered and slaughtered and exterminated from off the face of the earth.

1 AnswerPolitics1 year agoForeign Intelligence agencies are always biased in terms of their Intelligence gathering and the targeting of individuals on foreign soil...?
Foreign Intelligence agencies are highly selective in terms of their Intelligence gathering capabilities, because they are completely focused on "any subjective information at all" that allegedly supports their agenda, but wilfully ignore other relevant information which contradicts the Foreign government.
Such information is highly relevant, which is bound to make their espionage attempts FAIL.
Such relevant information is a highly effective tactic of counter espionage by the host country, or by other foreign nations.
