I'm just plain saddened by the fact that most people like to "talk about" God and the Bible, but they don't know or care about Him. He means nothing to them. His commands mean nothing to them (mainly because Christians are under the erroneous impression that "those old commands were just for the Jews"). In other words, apparently God only expects "the Jews" to be holy....<br /><br />If people only took time out to READ the Torah (first five Books of the Bible which explain who YHWH is and what He expects of us, and what He will and won't tolerate), they would all drop to their knees and cry for days on end in the knowledge that they have been kicking our Creator in the Face on a daily basis! <br /><br />What Trump and Palin have done is to "use His Name in vain" - and that is VERY serious!<br />Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998146626031186940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193745359560427451.post-58371483732853757662016-01-23T14:57:24.956-08:002016-01-23T14:57:24.956-08:00Good point, Kevin.

Shali will certainly add her perspective on your observation, but permit me to respond. <br /><br />All three verses you cited do indicate that YHWH is no respector of persons. I agree. But all 3 verses are surrounded by verses before or after with the caveats of expected OBEDINECE to Him. In Acts, it's verse 10:35. In Romans, it's verses 2:12-13. In Colossians it's 3:23-24. YHWH does not show favoritism, true, but He does expect an honest effort to abide in our lives by His rules, and His teachings. What Sarah Palin and Donald Trump are doing is trying to "look" the part to obtain votes. In the case of modern US politics, "God" is invoked only if it helps the individual's candidacy, not as it should be, i.e., the candidate is leaning a God-fearing, Torah-obedient life and is seeking to help his/her constituency to serve HIM. We live in a very interesting time, when, IMHO, YHWH has lifted His hand from our once great and noble nation, and now we are on our own. Now we get to choose who "leads" us (our nation) into the pits of Hell.<br /><br />What the candidates do is a travesty, intended to garner votes (with the single exception of Dr. Ben Carson). Each are out to glorify themselves, and not YHWH. In that, Colossians 3:24 speaks the loudest. Most slave for themselves.<br />Liamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00281049645175102119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193745359560427451.post-42893728419760813592016-01-23T13:33:02.576-08:002016-01-23T13:33:02.576-08:00Shali, when will people realize that YHWH is no re...Shali, when will people realize that YHWH is no respector of persons (Acts 10:34, Romans 2:11, Colossian 3:25), that He doesn't see us by ethnicity, gender or politics?Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09165901818107578168noreply@blogger.com
