The nation didn’t vote for Biden.

What an incredibly stupid thing for Johnson to say.

What an incredibly stupid thing for Johnson to say.

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.

I think I know what Mike Johnson meant.
Because he is profoundly religious, he believes that nothing can happen without God’s will - even things that we consider being disastrous.

That Biden landed in the White House, is God’s way of willingly causing a strong reaction among humans in America.
And maybe that strong reaction ends up being a good thing.
It could lead to a new leader taking over...

And THAT new leader will also be causing huge reactions among humans in America...

Philosophically speaking, God probably wants humanity to face constant huge challenges. It’s part of the evolution.

I see it a different way. I see it that we had to have somebody like Biden to show people how bad liberal Dems are and what they have planned for us. President Trump showed people how good it could be. Biden is the contrast to that.

To the contrary, to deny this is to be ignorant of Scripture, and of context, as Newsweek is (and most FReepers it seems).

He evoked scripture during his October 25 speech, saying: "The Bible is very clear that God is the one that raises up those in authority." "I said in my speech before I took the gavel that I am a Bible-believing Christian," Johnson responded. "A Bible-believing Christian believes what the Bible says, right? The Bible says that God is the one that raises up people in authority. I believe God is sovereign. By the way, so did the founders.

Which is wholly scriptural, yet which does not mean sanctioning the bad character of the elected, but as allowing such to be elected as a judgment against the country who did allow such, and as working out toward a greater purpose:

This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. (Daniel 4:17)

And if God did not let Hillary run for president, Trump would not have been elected.

God allowed Joseph (a far better character and faith than any modern president I know of) to be sold into slavery by his envious siblings, then framed, and then forgotten in prison, but which resulted in him rising to second in command of Egypt, to the salvation of his family and people.

But as for you [siblings], ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. (Genesis 50:20)

Thus from the Newsweek page, its article is

And being an omniscient, omnipotent, infallible eternal being - who knows what all the effects will be of every action, and who can will make all to ultimately work out for what is Good, with justice as well as mercy, then finite, fallible and ultimately failing beings are in no position to judge them.

And which attributes renders Him as alone being worthy of being man's God - and thus the ultimate source of security and object of allegiance, and of spiritual affection - versus some finite created source.

JHVH decides everything. It’s all His plan. The good, and the bad.

As such, he’s not wrong.
