The Unlikely Missionary

God does NOT have a covenant with the United States I'll repeat for the Christians in the back. God does NOT have a covenant with the United States . The Church in America is really quite pompous I have discovered as I have gotten older. It bothers me to watch some of these folks talk about the covenant of God and America as if God needs us. He doesn't need us. The only nation God has a covenant with is the nation of Israel and yet we in the US believe that godly morality resides in the West. As if God changed His mind over the years and moved it to us. How crazy is that when our country didn't even exist when the Bible was written? When I was a kid it never quite made sense to me how Israel was across the Atlantic but we were the nation of God. It didn't make sense because it's not true. We as believers have individual covenants with God. The more believers in one area, the higher the God concentration. Like mass immunization creates group immunity. Peopl...

It's still incredible to me that evangelicals are saying that God chose Trump. It's incredible for the obvious reasons: He clearly has broken every commandment there is but especially the two most important ones, Love the Lord your God with all you heart, mind and strength and Love your neighbor as yourself. But the least obvious is that God never wanted us to have a king (president, ruler, dictator, tyrant, etc) in the first place. When the Bible says there is nothing new under the sun there really isn't. I'm reminded when the children of Israel asked Samuel for a king. Samuel was distressed and asked, "What for?" Their response back was "because everyone else has one". Not the greatest of reasons huh? So he went to God with all this and God said, let them have it, they have rejected me anyway. They asked and He ALLOWED them to get what they asked for . They wanted a king, they chose Saul. I put allowed in all CAPS because the one thing w...

True! But so is every book that has ever been written. That does not disqualify the Bible from being true. It is a collection of true stories by authors handpicked by God to tell his story. This is no different than an autobiographer writing their first hand account or a biographer writing the account of a person's life as it is being relayed to them by that person. This has always been an interesting topic for me because all books are written by man but only the Bible's integrity is questioned on the basis of this reasoning. We take science books, history books, documentaries at face value. Other religious text are also written by man but their integrity isn't questioned in this basis either. So why else do I think the Bible is true? 1) The story follows the children of Israel. The same Jewish descendants that exist today. They are the only group of people who have consistently witnessed and been an integral part of world history. 2) It has survived generations of e...
