[geocentrism] Re: Three days and three nights

(N) Surely you are not saying that God placed Hitler, Lenin, Pol Pot, Amin, 
Mugabe, Stalin, Bush, Blair, etc., in power? Do we not need to understand what 
"the powers that be are ordained of God? means, rather than just take it as it 
first appears? 

(A) Surely you are not saying that these governments were less righteous than 
any of the developing countries whose governments allow the murder of 46 
million babies a year,126000 per day in the US alone since 1976??. 40 million. 
This is just the Abortion murders??Do you really think Hitler or Paul pot were 
in any less of God?s favor. ??????.Hitler only slaughtered 6 million Jews and 
he didn?t do all the killing in the war??.How is tolerating them any less 
Culpable. Most people who use this kind of argument just want to either explain 
away what they don?t understand ? or Just want to blame God for the evil..

?.

The short answer to your emotional argument is YES!??.Why??..

Romans 8: 28. And we know that ALL THINGS work together FOR THE GOOD TO THEM 
THAT LOVE GOD, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Matthew 13:41. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall 
gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do 
iniquity;????.Until then God is not forcing evil from the earth? he is giving 
everyone the opportunity to make a choice trust him or else, which comes 
latter????.

MY PERSONAL FAVORITE ?..the one that gives me the most comfort

2Corinthians 10: 6. And having in a readiness to REVENGE all disobedience, WHEN 
YOUR OBEDIENCE IS FULFILLED???????????.Romans 13:19. Beloved, do not avenge 
yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is 
Mine, I will repay,'' says the Lord. ?????????? People are so worried about the 
evil of others?..the speck in Hitters eye while ignoring the plank in our 
own?.. this argument does not invalidate the plain word of God, who said He 
ordained them or what ever your translation states??????.It is not our problem 
to worry about the governments our job is????.

Matthew 28:18. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, ALL POWER is given 
unto me in heaven and in earth. 19. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, 
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy 
Ghost: 20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: 
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen????..God is 
working his plan not mine or yours?? I don?t understand everything but if I did 
then I would be God. This is not my place, my place is to trust in him and his 
word. He will take care of Hitter, Paul pot, us and the abortionist too???.in 
his time, his way, not ours. How is tolerating them any less Culpable. Most 
people who use this kind of argument just want to either explain away what they 
don?t understand ? ????..

2 Peter 2:9. Then the Lord knows how to "deliver the godly" out of temptations 
and to "reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment," 10. and 
especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and 
despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed; they are not afraid to 
speak evil of dignitaries, 11. whereas angels, who are greater in power and 
might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord. 12. But 
these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, "speak evil 
of the things they do not understand," and will utterly perish in their own 
corruption, ????.

?????????. or Just want to blame God for the evil.

(N)How about different translations of the same Scriptures? Do we try and 
understand them, or do we just read them? When translating from one language to 
another, it is the meaning that is of the utmost importance, not the direct, 
word-for-word translation.


(A)The scripture says the same thing in your native language as it does in the 
original?..that is not to say that they all use the same words but the context 
of all Scripture will yield exactly the same meaning. And if it does not, then 
it is not the word of God it would then be a product of man??This is only a 
problem for those who put there trust in man to have preserved his word. Mine 
is in God, I believe that he has preserved it. Those who try to convince you 
other wise do not know anything about translations or scripture! Every single 
verse we have is handed down there are no originals of any scripture or letters 
anywhere. I challenge anyone to show me one. There are however a lot of people 
trying to prop them selves up as learned scholarly individuals?saying that well 
it doesn?t mean that, or it rely means something other than what it plainly 
states?.?. Who told them that? ??.It was not God, He never told anyone that?. 
..That is the pure and vain imagination of men!?...
  But
 here is what he did say?..Galatians 1: 8. But even if we, or an angel from 
heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let 
him be accursed ????Now how can you do that if it cannot be understood and he 
tells you not to think beyond what is written????Only if your faith is in God 
providence absolutely???.. Colossians 2:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through 
philosophy and EMPTY DECEIT, according to the tradition of men, according to 
the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. ???? you can 
find anyone claiming to be Christian who will take any position you want and 
tell you and mean it that they are following scripture??? God made man gave man 
language, gave man the ability to read, what he wrote?.. He knows exactly what 
it means to you and me and only by faith in God can you call ANY scripture 
anywhere God?s word. I challenge anyone to show me where other than by faith. 
The ONLY problem is not my interpretation or yours or "how
  do I
 read it" ?. Only will you accept what he plainly said or will you chose to 
adopt some methodology or hermeneutic not even mentioned in scripture, as the 
"correct way" for understanding? ?????? The Test? Show me where I have not 
spoken as the oracles of God or where God said that he did not intend it that 
way. If you can not do so, the problem is not with how to read scripture, it is 
with men?s willingness to accept ONLY what it says, because all provisions of 
scripture are/were provide by God. Otherwise who is to say what is and is not 
scripture? And any interpretation will do, I mean what?s the standard??.. 
People have it and the standard! Tey chose the "reasoning of men" over plain 
text.

I reply as follows to one of your main arguments:

(N) ?I certainly do not accept that they are appointed by Him.? 
(A) Mathew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given 
unto me in heaven and in earth.& Romans 13: 1. Let every soul be subject unto 
the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are 
?ordained of God?. Romans 13: 2. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, 
?resisteth the ordinance of God?: and they that resist shall receive to 
themselves damnation. I?m not sure how anyone can maintain that position.

[N] Surely you are not saying that God placed Hitler, Lenin, Pol Pot, Amin, 
Mugabe, Stalin, Bush, Blair, etc., in power? Do we not need to understand what 
"the powers that be are ordained of God? means, rather than just take it as it
