Do you think Biden's Justice Department focused on what the Bible teaches?
If Trump's DOJ focused on GW, what do you think it would do differently?

Does this question have anything to do with ICE and how they are upholding the laws of this nation?

Yes indeed. Is the Dem policy of inviting the world to invade and violently resisting ICE's efforts to deport correct?
Or is the MAGA policy of vetting immigrants and deporting illegal immigrants correct?

I would say ICE is dutifully upholding the laws of this nation by deporting illegal aliens; and by doing so, they are making this country much safer—- MAGA!!

Which is a good work that in that way answers the prayer of Jesus for God's will to be done on earth. Yay! (y)

Amen!
Now, if Ilhan Omar,an illegal who is therefore illegally in our Congress, would be deported ICE would be even more heroic in saving our country from threats.

I read a post on a political forum a few years after 9-11.

"It's a formidable enemy,one that has nothing to lose by killing you just as they go, BOOM!"

God issues the sword to carry out laws….. Obey them, or don’t let the door hit you while being thrown out……

Isn't it ironic Leftist lawmakers think the law doesn't really mean what it says?

I shared this in a different thread. It's brief but if you would,give it a look. I think you'll like it.

This pertains in many ways to what many Christians are experiencing when we care about the political compass of our country. We're charged by critics with being Christian Nationalists.

Sorry, I make it a habit not to watch videos, unless it’s about crochet or knitting stitches. With that said, I don’t really care what the Left calls us! The more fingers they use in pointing even more point right back to themselves. Lol

Regarding the situation in Portland Oregon, are we supposed to turn the other cheek or arrest the violent?

God doesn’t give the sword in vain!!

-“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭29‬:‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.
For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

I agree. I think Jesus wanted turning the other cheek to be applied in non-violent confrontations;
not to mean if a man rapes your wife, give him your daughter, too.

The God-inspired genius of Charlie Kirk and others of the MAGA movement is to realize that Satan is utilizing the Democrats
to apply his immoral lies to politics, so Christians need to stop believing the lie that their faith has nothing to do with politics
and begin countering atheist Marxism by putting feet to the Lord's Prayer for God's will to be done on earth. (Matt. 6:10)

Of course, those who are cognizant of history know that this must be done correctly and not repeat the sins of papalism (and Islam).
IOW, although it is false equivalence to view defensive violence as morally the same as offensive violence, and although there is a fine line between justice and vengeance that should not be crossed, it is God's will for righteous governors to punish evildoers. (Rom. 13:1-5)
 
As Charlie Kirk was being awarded the Medal of Freedom on what would have been his 32nd birthday yesterday,
I hope everyone realized that the reason he deserved the medal was because he understood that Democrats apply
their Satanic scriptures to both politics and academia and needed to be opposed with Biblical truth and morality--
and he worked very hard to do what he could to do so and was doing so at the moment he was murdered in Utah.
:cry:

Let us review some Biblical values related to political issues. Here are three in Genesis with a brief explanation:

  1. Genesis 1:27a: “God created humanity in his own image; in the image of God he created humans…”​
This citation has two applications in current politics. (a) First, it affirms that God exists, so humanity should not be atheistic or idolatrous. Thus, politics should not contradict or inhibit faith in God. (b) Second, it indicates that humans are like God, most likely (given the moral commands beginning with the forbidden fruit in Gen. 2:16-17) in their moral capacity or ability and thus responsibility to cooperate with God’s moral will. Logically, the first sin was choosing NOT to doubt the Devil (Gen. 3:4-5). Thus, politicians and voters are accountable to God for their views and actions.

  1. Genesis 1:27b and 2:24: “…male and female God created humanity… For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.”​
These verses teach two truths. (a) There are only two sexes, and (b) Heterosexual marriage is the moral norm for physical relations (reaffirmed by Jesus in Matt. 19:4-6, cf. Paul in Rom. 1:24-27). Thus, any deviant desire should be viewed as abnormal and a mental illness (if not intentional) in need of a cure.

  1. Genesis 9:6: “Whoever sheds the blood of man [murders], by man shall his blood be shed.”​
This commandment indicates that execution is the appropriate penalty for murder. This principle is restated more broadly in Deut. 19:21, “Life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot”. Thus, there should be very good justification for showing pity or the mercy indicated by Jesus’ beatitude (in Matt. 5:7), “Blessed are the merciful”. This should not be misinterpreted, because Jesus also said, “Repent” (Matt. 4:17). Harmonizing such moral teachings must be done prayerfully, keeping in mind that although God’s love is unconditional (John 3:16, Rom. 5:8), God’s grace is conditional upon repentance, so that forgiveness does not abet sinful behavior (Heb. 10:26-27).
 
Amen.

What’s wrong with being a Christian nationalist, or wanting your country to be more in line with God’s teaching in the NT? I believe this country was founded on this principle, initially.

When the leaven of other religions starting seeping in, the good dough became soured……
