Fatalism - By Kingdom Keys

People are still upset about what our Congress and President have done to our country this week.  I only hope they stay upset long enough to vote in November, and vote some bums out.  I’m plenty ticked off about it, as you can easily tell if you listen to me between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. weekdays.  Not only has this President set his face like a flint to pursue socialism for this country, he has also stuck his finger in God’s eye.

    Israel is called “the apple of God’s eye”.  B. Hussein Obama has decided to chastise Israel and make demands that they stop building in their own capital city.  His administration has decided to publicly announce that Israel is the problem in the pursuit of peace.  He has done much in the first year of his Presidency to invoke the judgment of God.  Thomas Jefferson said, “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, and that His justice cannot sleep forever."  I believe that God’s judgment cannot be postponed much longer.

    Something, though, that concerns me as much as the leadership of this country doing what they are doing is the things that Christians say.  Some say that we are to submit to everything the government does regardless of what it is.  They base their philosophy on a misunderstanding of Romans, chapter 13.  Then, others say “Remember God is in control.”  By saying that, they mean that nothing could happen without it being God’s will and plan.  They say, “We don’t understand it, but God is in control.”

    If God is ordaining and planning everything that is happening, we don’t need to educate ourselves, or work for good candidates, or speak out against evil, or even vote.  This is called fatalism.  Look it up in the dictionary.  It is a doctrine that all events are predetermined by fate and are unalterable.  If our Founding Fathers had believed that, we would have never had this country with all its freedoms that are so much in jeopardy right now.  If you really believe that, why do you bother to try to get people to receive the Lord.  The belief is that it’s all predetermined and unalterable, anyway.  (Sadly, by the way, some Christians erroneously believe that regarding salvation.)

    If we all believed that we should submit to everything the government decides without resistance and if we all believed in fatalism, we would lose this country and all its freedoms quicker than is happening.  I would be interested in your response to these thoughts.  Go to the home page and click the contact button to respond from the web page.
