****Responses to the Assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump
****Bible Lover Bill, an independent Constitutionalist, is for Victory over the political party that promotes what God hates and then Unity in reforming the Federal Government of the United States and increasing Unity and compassion among Christian churches. I am for the righteousness and Love in the Bible, not for most opinions. That word is in the Bible only 6 times in bad contexts. Carefully read the following Scripture passages, reasoning about the formatting and the Divine Truths and Wisdom. And determine if your ready for World-wide Tribulation or the Rapture.
2 Corinthians 5
20 So we are Christ's ambassadors,
God making His appeal as it were through us.
We [as Christ's personal representatives] beg you for His sake
to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God
21 For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin,
so that in and through Him we might become
[endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of]
the righteousness of God.
2 Corinthians 6
1 Laboring together [as God's fellow workers] with Him then,
we beg of you not to receive the grace of God in vain
[that merciful kindness by which God exerts His holy influence on souls
and turns them to Christ, keeping and strengthening them--
do not receive it to no purpose].
2 For He says,
“In the time of favor (of an assured welcome)
I have listened to and heeded your call,
and I have helped you on the Day of Deliverance (the Day of Salvation).
Behold, now is truly the time for a gracious welcome and acceptance [of you from God];
behold, now is the Day of Salvation!
3 We put no obstruction in anybody's way [we give no offense in anything],
so that no fault may be found and [our] ministry blamed and discredited.
14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers
[do not make mis-mated alliances with them
or come under a different yoke with them,
inconsistent with your faith].
For what partnership have right living and right standing with God
with iniquity and lawlessness?
Or how can light have fellowship with darkness?
15 What harmony can there be between Christ and Belial [the devil]?
Or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?
16 What agreement [between] a temple of God and idols?
*** I have read a lot of the comments in response to the two brothers doings. There was a lot of right and wrong hatred and anger expressed. Sunday morning I happened to read the following Scripture:
Psalm 94
1 O God of vengeance, Jehovah, The God of vengeance, shine forth!
2 Lift up Yourself, Judge of the Earth; give a just repayment to the proud.
3 How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked exult?
4 They gush; they speak impudent things;
all the workers of iniquity speak proudly.
5 They crush Your people, O Jehovah,
and afflict Your inheritance.
6 They kill the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 Yet they say, “Jehovah shall not see, nor shall the God of Jacob observe it.”
8 Understand, you beastly ones among the people;
and fools, when will you be wise?
9 He who planted the ear, shall He not hear?
He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
10 He who chastens the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge?
11 Jehovah knows the thoughts of man, that they are vain.
12 Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O Jehovah, to teach him out of Your Law;
13 that You may give him rest from the days of trouble, until the pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For Jehovah will not cast off His people, nor will He forsake His inheritance.
15 But judgment shall return to righteousness; and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Unless Jehovah had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 When I said, “My foot slips”; Your mercy, O Jehovah, held me up.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me Your comforts delight my soul.
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with You, which frames mischief by a law?
21 They gather themselves against the soul of the righteous,
and condemn the innocent blood.
22 But Jehovah is my defense;
and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 And He will bring on them their own iniquity,
and He will cut them off in their evil.
Jehovah our God shall cut them off.
*** What do the following passages indicate should be a Christian’s lifestyle?
Philippians 2:1-5
1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ,
if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit,
if any bowels and mercies,
2 fulfill you my joy, that you be like-minded,
having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory;
but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man [or woman] on his [or her] own things,
but every man [or woman] also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 4:11-16
11 And He [Jesus Christ] gave some, Apostles; and some, Prophets;
and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 for the perfecting of the saints,
for the work of the ministry,
for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 till we all come in the unity of the faith,
and of the knowledge of The Son Of God,
unto a perfect man,
unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
14 that we henceforth be no more children,
tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine,
by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness,
whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 but speaking the truth in love,
may grow up into Him in all things,
Who is The Head, even Christ:
16 from Whom the whole body
fitly joined together and
compacted by that which every joint supplieth,
according to the effectual working
in the measure of every part,
maketh increase of the body
unto the edifying of itself in love.
2 Peter 1:2-8
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you
through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
3 according as His divine power
has given to us all things that pertain to life and Godliness,
through the knowledge of Him Who has called us to glory and virtue;
4 through which He has given to us exceedingly great and precious promises,
so that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 And beside this, giving all diligence,
add to your faith virtue,
and to virtue knowledge;
6 and with knowledge self-control,
and with self-control, patience,
and with patience, Godliness,
7 and with Godliness, brotherly kindness,
and with brotherly kindness, love.
8 For if these things are in you and abound,
they make you to be neither idle nor unfruitful
in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
2 Timothy 2:15-16
“Study earnestly to present yourself approved to God,
a workman [or workwoman] who does not need to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the Word of Truth.
But shun profane, vain babblings,
for they will increase to more unGodliness.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness,
that the adopted child of God may be perfected,
thoroughly furnished to every good work.”
Matthew 5:3-12a
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the Earth.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness,
for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they who have been persecuted for righteousness sake,
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are you when men shall revile you and persecute you,
and shall say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad
because your reward in Heaven is great.
Note: President Trump was shot at 6:11 PM on Saturday at a campaign rally. Look at verse 11 below.
Spiritual Armor of God
Ephesians 6:10-18 (from the Lockman Foundation’s Amplified Bible and logically formatted)
10 In conclusion,
be strong in The Lord [be empowered through your union with Him];
draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].
11 Put on God's whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies],
that you may be able successfully to stand up
against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the Devil.
12 For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood
[contending only with physical opponents],
but against the despotisms,
against the powers,
against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness,
against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.
13 Therefore put on God's complete armor,
that you may be able to
resist
and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger],
and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].
14 Stand therefore [hold your ground],
having tightened the belt of truth around your loins
and having put on the breastplate
of integrity and
of moral rectitude
and right standing with God,
15 And having shod your feet in preparation of the Gospel of peace.
[To face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness,
and the readiness produced by the Good News.]
16 Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith,
upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked.
17 And take
the helmet of Salvation
and the sword that the Holy Spirit wields, which is the Word of God.
18 Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in The Spirit,
with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty.
To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance,
interceding in behalf of all the Saints (God's consecrated people).
