Keep calm as God has everything under control

People say Trump is a racist because he wants to stop illegal immigration. That is not racism, that is enforcing the law. Immigration will continue. If you are a good person you have a better chance. Further, countries let in refugees and I assume the US will continue to do that. New Zealand enforces immigration law and who says that country is racist because of that.

As for the Trump delusion you speak of. You are wrong. Trump like other leaders can do well or not. Look at King Saul vs David. Trump is certainly going to bring change to America and this is why he was voted in. Clinton was more of the same old as they say. But Trump may struggle with humility and other things. We know what happens with pride right. Nothing is certain here.

But you doubted that Trump could make it and I assume you likely laughed at this possibility in your heart. But you were wrong and many Liberals were so arrogant, that they are still reeling from the shock. Their rioters say Trump will wreck America all the while they go around wrecking America by burning cars and smashing up businesses. (Sorry I got that last idea from a meme, but it is true). In fact so arrogant were some Democrats that some celebs who endorsed Clinton threatened to move to Canada if Trump got it. I mean how big-headed is that? Ooh, better not vote for Trump or we will lose Cher and Miley Cyrus. How important do they think they are? This is partly why the Democrats lost. They were arrogant, they thought they had it in the bag, and they believed the left-wing media and their polls which was no reflection of reality at all. Makes you wonder what else is not real from the media?

And America like other nations have to deal with the thought police who stop people from saying and debating what they really think. So when they went to the polling booth, that was the only time they could actually have a say and they voted accordingly. And calling them Deplorables was pretty dumb you have to admit. Will they vote Clinton so that they won’t be a Deplorable or would they just vote against anyone who called them that. If you are going to be derogatory, then at least do it after the election. Calling people that and expecting them to vote for you is insane.

Political correctness is so rife now that people are just fed up with being judged and told what to think and believe. The term that has been liberally applied to many, that of ‘bigot’, ‘racist’, and ‘sexist’, is no longer working. It use to win arguments if your opponent used it even if it were not true, however people are waking up to that kind of bullying. Your comment that he is racist because he wants legal immigration is silly. He employs all kinds of people and is married to an immigrant who doesn’t even have great English. Anyway, as for the terms of racist etc, I hope those terms do work in real instances of such things, don’t get me wrong.

I don’t know what will happen to America, but all I know is it was going down hill and has been for some time now. Trump will bring about change alright and he will either make America great again or he will completely fail and escalate America’s downward spiral. Either way, he won’t bring the ‘same old’, that much I know. I hope the former and I will be praying for President Trump. Will you pray for him too when he is president? Will you pray for him now? He has the chance to make America great again. No other candidate was even going to try that.

I will be praying for him and I think he is presidential material.

1 Timothy 2:1-3
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior,

Did they have an argument about this with Paul?

Jesus did not pray for the world because his mission was to save the lost. Jesus didn’t pray for many things that we may pray for and there are a ton of reasons for that.

Paul exhorts us to pray because after the main mission was accomplished by God through Jesus, then we who are called to be the light to a dark world are told to pray this way in order to make our mission easier and more widespread. We are also told to preach the gospel to the ends of the world, yet Jesus did not travel to the ends of the world himself. So in order to do our mission, he needed to complete his one.

There is no contradiction here but just a different season. Thinking that God doesn’t want us to pray for or against the powers in high places does not please God according to Paul.  He said: “This is good, and pleases God our Savior,”

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Jesus also said this:, “I was sent only to help God’s lost sheep–the people of Israel.”

So do we do the same and are we rebelling against God if we preach to the Gentiles?

Just understand that there are seasons and different seasons have different priorities.

An anatomy of the election makes it clear that Trump could not have won without the evangelical support, with some estimating that they accounted for up to 1/3 of the votes he got. The main reason for this appears to be his pro-life stance, followed by Mike Pence, followed by other conservatives like Dr. Ben Carson supporting him.

Trump did get much stronger support from evangelicals that Romney or McCain by a good margin, and is evidence that what many have been saying may be true–that if evangelicals strongly back any candidate then they will win.
