Divine Right of Kings?
Joe Biden never even heard of God.
IIRC, there was an old preacher from way back in the 1950s that said something along the lines: “When God punishes a nation, He does so by allowing them to have crappy leaders”. Food for thought.... /s
The nation didn’t vote for Biden.
What an incredibly stupid thing for Johnson to say.
The man is Not Ready for Primetime.
IMHO it's incorrect to interpret Johnson's statement about Biden as Johnson saying we should all blindly follow Biden because God put him in the WH. Johnson was responding to a trap question and turned it into saying that we should always trust God no matter who's in the WH.
Seems like when you are in Washington and get elevated to a certain level, you are obligated to get your TV time and say stupid stuff.
Personally think of God as being the "watchful eye" and the "Good Father" and as being "Hopeful".
Unfortunately the cost of getting him out of the chair is going to be him getting rolled on something big and then being obligated to pass it with Democrat votes, like McCarthy.
(Just a nice polite little Baptist boy...)
Please make me think you are something other than a feckless cuck, Mike.
This guy is weak. Apparently he has never heard of Bonhoeffer.
Johnson exactly correct. A lot of people have trouble accepting that it is God’s will that they and their nation be punished.
So it's not like he walked into an ambush, it's more like he actually set it up his own self, and all the media had to do was to ax the obvious question that he himself had set up for them.
There’s an old saying: “You get the type of government you deserve.”
I’ve also heard it said that after 60,000,000 abortions in America that if God doesn’t bring judgment on America, then He will need to apologize for what He did to Sodom and Gomorrah.
And then there’s the whole sexual degeneracy/perversion/pedophilia explosion. (I will no longer use the whole “politically correct” 4 or 5 letters & sometimes a bunch more identifying their sexual perversions.) I think “homosexual agenda” says it all.
I have to agree. It was god’s will to expose all the corruption in politics and the media It was god’s will to expose how bad the leaders of the Democrat party and some Republicans actually are. The last 4 years has put it all on display for everyone to see.
The Lord is sovereign over all things. This is what Mike Johnson was saying. Now you may think it's STUPID, but this is what's in the scriptures...
Daniel 2:21 and he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding....
Prov. 29:1 The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
Exodus 4:21 And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
Johnson needs to understand the difference between God’s permissive will and his actual will.
