We have to do our part.
I know what my parish priest preference is and it ain’t Jezebel (his pet name for her)
I live in a blue state and recognize that my vote will amount to squat, but I’m voting for Trump anyway.
Our pastor preached the exact same message today although he didn’t name names.
For that matter, I’ll bet a LOT of churches heard the same message.
While I can’t say for sure if God is FOR any specific candidate, I would hazard a guess that He’s AGAINST anyone who is against Him.
Same here.
I'm trying as well.
I would LOVE to see NY go to Trump.
I've certainly encountered far more people than I expected who are planning on voting for him.
Their hatred of Hillary is far outweighing their dislike of Trump.

In fact, the word often translated “authorities” or “powers” in verse 1 is not the equivalent of the State. The meaning, according to Thayers and Vines, is firstly the “liberty, the power to do as one pleases,” which a person has over their person, property or domain. It might even be translated “Everyone respect primary rights and liberties ” In 1 Cor 8:9 it is translated “this liberty of yours.”
Also, the word often translated “rulers” in verse 3 is not the direct equivalent of State officials. It is used elsewhere in the Bible to denote “rulers” of a synagogue, judges, elders anyone in charge of a social function. The Bible even refers to a “ruler of the feast” and a “governor of the feast.”
Hope you’re right.

It’s NYC we need to overcome. >:(
Yes, righteousness, but it is our job to perform the actions to achieve it!
Hillary is America’s Jezebel. I will not acc5ept her if she wins .
Very interesting take on Romans 13.
Of course he does.
Rain in Fla keeps Hillary show short
Rain on Election Day in Cleveland
Philly transit strike
Comey being on and then off again gave the damage that got Wikileaks Mainstream.
Yea he is on our side and why wouldn’t he be?
The whore of Babylon is the dem nominee.
Yesterday, Tampa, where Trump was, had sunny weather, Hillary got rained on...the only part of the state that had rain... :-). So yes, God wants Trump!
Blessings to this young priest.
Agreed. God has no preference. There is government and there is God. The purpose of government is to provide a secure and protected environment in which we can live and complete our mission to God. Our purpose as Christians is to praise God and bring others to Christ. Should our government become evil, that is on the citizens, not God. Should the government become anti-Christian, it will not deter us from fulfilling our promise to God. We will simply move from churches (if outlawed or made unusable) into homes and other secreted places to continue our work.
