"We believe that the Bible teaches a premillennial view of the Kingdom of God (Zechariah 14:4–9; Matthew 25:31–34) and that Israel and the Church are distinct throughout biblical history and prophecy. We don’t see that God ever commanded the Church to take charge of and revamp society. Instead, we see the command for believers to preach the gospel as in Matthew 28:19–20. God intends to implement worldwide social reform Himself (Revelation 19:11 — 20:4)."

KEY POINTS

•“Trump is not the American president America deserves, in my opinion. But he definitely is the American president China deserved,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist told CNBC on Tuesday.“
•We needed to have a president who was going to call the game with China. And Trump has done it,” Friedman said on “Squawk Box.
•”Still, Friedman said he believes Trump should have built a broader coalition with American allies to take on China over trade practices and other geopolitical issues....

It's interesting that two New York Time's columnists, And perhaps more? , but anyway also David Brooks think that Trump is doing what should be done on China.

Matthew 6:5-8

5. “When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward. 6. But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. 7. In praying, don’t use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking. 8. Therefore don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him.

I need to research this a bit more but so far the only definition on the CDC website of a pandemic I found is this one:

" Pandemic refers to an epidemic that has spread over several countries or continents, usually affecting a large number of people. Epidemics occur when an agent and susceptible hosts are present in adequate numbers, and the agent can be effectively conveyed from a source to the susceptible hosts."

Key Points

• White House coronavirus advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci confirmed on Tuesday that more than 180,000 people in the U.S. have died from Covid-19.
• Fauci’s comments come after some have claimed a new CDC update indicates only 6% of the nation’s total reported Covid-19 deaths were actually from the virus, and the remaining percent died of “other serious illnesses.”
• At least 183,600 people have died from Covid-19 in the U.S. as of Tuesday, accounting for just over 21% of the globe’s total reported deaths.
....
On Sunday [last Sunday?], Twitter removed a post retweeted by Trump that claimed the CDC had “quietly” updated its guidance to indicate only 6% of the country’s coronavirus death toll — roughly 9,000 deaths — was actually caused by the virus, according to a CNN report. The tweet said the remaining 94% had “other serious illnesses.” ...

16. There are six things which the Lord hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: 17. Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, 18. A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil, 19. A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers. ----

As a veteran I'd never vote for Trump âť—đź‘Ž Of course there's many other reasons too. if you want to put your moral agenda into law, which is basically foolishness , you should have picked an actual Republican.

7 because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so;

MacArthur cited a recent CDC report on causes of COVID-19 deaths (Here is the CDC report in question [ https://tinyurl.com/y66dsnhj ]). It provides the comorbid conditions for the vast majority of deaths triggered by COVID-19. COVID-19 and something else contributed to most deaths. What MacArthur seems to be unaware of is that most of those people would be alive today if they had not contracted COVID-19.

What is embarrassing for MacArthur is that this has been known for months. The CDC has released reports [ https://tinyurl.com/ycru96jm ] before showing the underlying health conditions of deaths and hospitalized patients.  Yet, in ominous tones, MacArthur makes it appear he is revealing some previously concealed truth. While his scary announcement may serve his persecution narrative, it also makes his congregation and followers more vulnerable to the virus....

Mr. Throckmorton can be Informative and entertaining. But I refer to his blogs for being informative, such as this YouTube, which I think it's even on the John MacArthur site, and it certainly is informative.

I should have pointed out it's only about 6 minutes long.

Back in 2016 this was on Warren's Throckmorton's blog. The YouTube is even truer today

But please consider this: A vote for Donald Trump is not necessarily a vote for Donald Trump himself. It is a vote for those who will be affected by the results of this election. Not to vote is to vote. God will not hold us guiltless.

The evasion of responsibility is highly disturbing. If you are going to vote for Trump, own it.

Earlier this year, John MacArthur blasted fellow evangelicals for supporting Trump. At that time, he said Trump was “a model of everything , everything that is destructive in morality in our culture.”

Social justice and politics

Keller disavows the "Social Gospel" that has characterized Mainline Protestant churches, which advocates liberal political causes and de-emphasizes the doctrines of sin and substitutionary sacrifice. However he has also criticized the evangelical alliance with Republicans and argued that Christianity is a much broader global movement that agrees with some liberal and some conservative issues (and critiques them both). He has argued for giving to charitable causes and caring for the needs of the poor based on biblical texts such as the Torah and the Parable of the Good Samaritan....

President Donald Trump says the US does not know whether Alexei Navalny was poisoned by Russia, despite NATO, the German Government and his own press secretary agreeing that he was the victim of an assassination attempt.
Key points:

• Alexei Navalny is a vocal critic of the Kremlin who fell ill after an August 20 flight and now is in an induced coma in a Berlin hospital
• NATO, Germany's Government and White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Mr Navalny was poisoned
• Donald Trump said the US would "take a look at the numbers and documents" regarding the incident
