Thanks, but I don't believe the Q thing. I think you're misinterpreting Romans 13; it's not about unqualified fealty/devotion to leaders, but keeping the law and respecting leaders as long as they do the right thing.
This is America; Trump is a public servant, an employee. We don't go around demanding that people support politicians. Compliment when right, criticize when wrong is the reasonable position.
I think I asked you once before for details about the year-end event that will have me thanking you and realizing Q is for real. Can you give me those details---tell me more about what's supposed to happen?
You didn't notice what I said about Romans 13, because you were too quick to read into my words something I didn't say. I never got even CLOSE to saying that we owe our government's leaders "unqualified fealty/devotion." (You're using a straw man argument, and it's hurting your comprehension of what I HAVE said. I am interpreting Romans 13 in a correctly narrow way. You, on the other hand, are misinterpreting my interpretation of Romans 13. [Ooops])
I am ultimately saying that we need to recognize that God is in control. Our leaders do not have any inherited "Divine Right" to rule, but Romans 13 presupposes that
God is always
using our leaders in one way or another. We have to respect
that. That being the case, we need to support our leaders
whenever possible. [That's a phrase I believe I used.] Occasionally, our leaders are actually
on our side. That means we need to
notice when God is using our POTUS for our good. We ought to be especially grateful for such positive scenarios--not stupidly overlook them. As a matter of fact, shouldn't we give them the benefit of the doubt when there is at least meaningful doubt? And shouldn't we compliment them when they do right, even as we are free to criticize them when they do wrong? (Oh, that's precisely what you said. [Pardon me for agreeing with you when you seemed to be spoiling for a fight!])
My main concern on threads like this one is that some anti-Trump folks on TBR are so contemptuous of our admittedly flawed, even badly flawed POTUS that they refuse even to consider the good stuff that he is doing. Like the GOPe obstructionists in Congress, they practically loath our POTUS. They tend to assume only the worst about Trump even when warned that the MSM is incessantly lying about Trump. And those same anti-Trump folks refuse even to listen to credible reports concerning the spectacularly important things that he is courageously trying to do to protect our Constitutional Republic from a
still-looming disaster at the hands of the Deep State. Catherine, if you will review my posts, you will discover that I HAVE complained when our POTUS says or does something that is spiritually asinine. But I have noticed that a lot of vociferously anti-Trump folks will not even give him enough benefit of the doubt to notice that
he is on our side. I have heard many, many, many TBR members CURSE him for his refusal to drain the Swamp, when the truth is that he IS draining it.
That being the case, I would dare to chide you for dismissing Q's credible commentary on what is actually going on and what will happen later this year. I am not inclined to repeat it here. If our POTUS survives, alive and in office, you will know it when it happens.
