People with ethical standards and political views similar to those that RBHILL apparently has spent the 8 years of Obama's term of office claiming stridently that he had removed Christians' right to worship, and that Obama had built concentration camps for Christians, and that there definitely, definitely, definitely would be no election held in 2016 and Obama would install himself as a dictator. So, come on, tell us Mr RB "In Christ you fulfil the law" HILL, what is Biden definitely, definitely, definitely going to do to Christians like you?
@rbhill saidI don’t know what evidence you have to make this claim?
He can use leaders to bring judgment as well as good we had a lot of religious freedom under Trump and under Biden it will be taken away.
@rbhill saidDo you believe that Biden is under the influence of Satan?
No, Hosea 8:4 They set up kings without my consent;
they choose princes without my approval.
@fmf saidI don’t see this being a long discussion. RBHILL usually leaves the room after a couple of posts. In fact it appears from his post deletions that he is already packing up his pens and pencils ready for the dinner bell.

@divegeester saidIf you're not born again you belong to Satan no matter who you are it doesn't matter what you believe if you're not saved your lost. Not all roads lead to God.
Do you believe that Biden is under the influence of Satan?
@divegeester saidBiden is not born again he's not even a real Catholic.
Why are you avoiding the question.
Ok is Biden “born again”?
Is Trump “born again”?
Trump may or may not be born again I'm not really sure.
God's judgment upon the whole world is coming.
Isaiah 13:11 the cataclysmic nature of God ushering in a new age:
"For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not shine forth their light;
The sun will be dark at its rising,
And the moon will not let its light shine.
And I will punish the world for its evil,
And the wicked for their iniquity;
I will stop the arrogance of the proud,
And the haughtiness of the terrible I will abuse."
Another characteristic of coming times I think is that people will withdraw into their own identity groups, schisms, nationalities, ethnic groups.
"Each man will turn to his own people, and each will flee to his own land." (v.14)
Whoever reads the whole chapter of Isaiah 13 may object that this judgment is about God bringing about the Medes and Persian invasion and conquest of Babylon. I would agree except often God uses the temporal and projects in it something even more significant in the future. Ie. No astronomical events such as these accomplished the Medo-Persian conquest of Babylon.
But that Babylon is specifically mentioned here cannot be denied.
"And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, the glory of the Chaldeans' majesty
will be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gamorrah." (v.19)
In the New Testament God urges Christians to allow the Holy Spirit to discipline them. This is allowing is actually cooperative judging themselves that they may not be condemned along with the world.
"But if we discerned ourselves, we would not be judged.
But being judged by the Lord, we are disciplined that we may not be condemned with the world." (1 Cor. 11:31,32)
This is in line with the Sermon on the Mount, for the kingdom people to be strict on themselves yet merciful towards others.
Because God seems committed to start with the people who should know better not to sin, it says that judgment begins at the house of the Lord. He begins at His own household.
First Peter 4:17
King James Bible
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
Recovery Version
"For it is time for the judgment to begin from the house of God; and it first from us, what will be the end of those who disobey the gospel of God?"
