I had this conversation with a friend online. Whether you're a believer, agnostic or atheist, I'm going to repeat myself. Whether or not you read or ignore me, is your choice. Right now the United States is still a free country where citizens still have free speech. I'm not sure how long our Republic will last so I'm speaking out while I still can.
Prayer is from our hearts to God's ears. No human can INTERFERE with another human's prayer. And ONLY God can decide who is deserving. ONLY the individual praying gets to decide who and what they CHOOSE to pray for or pray about. This really is not up for debate. Prayer is direct communication, and that's how it works all around the world.
I'm not dreaming of a perfect world. I'm looking forward to a heavenly city.
As for the pope and the politicians?
It's clear that they are opposing each other.
But they can't both be right.
One of them is wrong, and one of them is right.
Evil is already the norm. But so is Good.
Even though history shows that “others” fought wars IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST and may have believed they were “deserving” … Jesus taught peace. Jesus taught peace, but He was crucified. Excluding Judas, who killed himself, and except John, who was exiled to Patmos, all of the apostles were killed for preaching The Way. Neither Jesus nor His apostles ever told or taught the disciples to take up arms and start a war to save the world.
Jesus said: “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, MY servants would fight.”
As for the nations? IN THIS WORLD ... the leaders decide on war. In countries like America, the “servants elected by the people” should decide on war. If the people don't think their decision is right, they have the right to pRoTeST.
Some of US may agree with the pope. That's up to them.
I don't agree with the pope. But I don't agree with Trump either.
