God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? - Numbers 23:19 (NIV)
This verse speaks loud & clear about the character of God. No one can hope to dictate anything to the sovereign God. He is the King of kings & Lord of lords. He does not compromise his position nor does he accepts any form of compromises. A politician acts on behalf of the will of his political party. Therein lies his loyalty. He survives by making compromises & making deals.
Therefore, it's interesting that a majority of American Christian leaders attempts to paint God as a member of the Republican party & that the current president is a man of God. The direction taken down this path by American Christian leaders is alarming. It's of paramount importance that we should expose this deception. This is what the Bible has to say:
Then the LORD said to me, "The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds.” - Jeremiah 14:14 (NIV)
Frankly, God does not belong to any political party - to be sure. God is not a Republican, nor a Democrat. God does not live in the White House. In fact, the position taken by American Christian leaders is very similar to that of politicians in Islamic countries.
In Islamic countries, the majority faith survives through the rule by law, not the rule of law. Islam survives through the means of force or worst, through threats & violence. Politicians in Islamic countries thrive & survive on this. They're least interested in cooperation & mutual respect but they do crave to be appeased by non-Muslims.
Today, American Christian leaders seem to espouse the same path taken by the present administration. This is what Jesus & Paul have to say for Christians to filter out & see through the deceptions:
No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thorn bushes, or grapes from briers. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks. - Luke 6:43 – 45 (NIV)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. - Galatians 5:22 - 26 (NIV)
