Exactly, Christ was sinless. He showed that the Holy Spirit descends at baptism, and John the baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother's womb as a precursor, to show that babies can be filled with the Holy Spirit, in case anyone denied it.

Deuteronomy 17:18-20 (NIV):18 "When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. 19 It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees 20 and not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites and turn from the law to the right or to the left. Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel."This passage emphasizes that even the king (or a leader) must not be above the law. He is expected to know, follow, and be subject to the same law as the rest of the people, ensuring that he governs with justice and humility.Another passage that implies leaders should obey the law comes from Proverbs 16:12 (NIV):"It is an abomination for kings to do evil, for the throne is established by righteousness."This verse suggests that leaders must act righteously and within the bounds of moral and divine law. Doing evil or acting unjustly is condemned, indicating that rulers are accountable to a higher standard and must adhere to what is right.

2 Samuel 12:9-10 Proverbs 29:21 Samuel 15:23 Micah 3:9-12 These verses collectively show that leaders who fail to obey God's law can face both divine judgment, such as the loss of position and blessing, and natural consequences, such as unrest among the people and eventual downfall. The Bible makes it clear that leaders are held accountable to God's standards, and their disobedience brings about serious consequences.

Romans 13:1-7 (ESV)Verse: "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment."Context: This passage encourages Christians to submit to governing authorities, which are seen as established by God. Some interpret this as an endorsement of participation in the political system and respect for laws and leaders. 2. 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (ESV)Verse: "First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way."Context: Paul urges Christians to pray for leaders and those in authority, which can imply a level of concern and engagement with the political process. 3. Jeremiah 29:7 (ESV)Verse: "But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."Context: While this verse is from the Old Testament and addressed to the Israelites in Babylonian exile, it is sometimes applied to Christians today, encouraging them to seek the good of the society in which they live, which can include political involvement. 4. Proverbs 29:2 (ESV)Verse: "When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan."Context: This proverb highlights the impact of righteous or wicked rulers on the well-being of the people, suggesting that the involvement of righteous people in leadership roles is beneficial. 5. Matthew 5:13-16 (ESV)Verse: "You are the salt of the earth... You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden."Context: While this passage is more about the general influence of Christians in the world, it has been used to argue that Christians should engage in all areas of society, including politics, to be a positive influence. 6. Titus 3:1 (ESV)Verse: "Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work."Context: This verse encourages obedience to authorities and readiness for good works, which some interpret as participation in civic duties. 7. Micah 6:8 (ESV)Verse: "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"Context: Though not directly about politics, this verse emphasizes doing justice and can be interpreted as a call for Christians to engage in justice, which can include political action. 8. Acts 5:29 (ESV)Verse: "But Peter and the apostles answered, 'We must obey God rather than men.'"Context: This verse emphasizes that obedience to God takes precedence over obedience to human authorities. It is sometimes used to argue for Christian involvement in politics, especially when the political system conflicts with God's commands. These verses are not explicit commands for political involvement but are often interpreted as supporting the idea that Christians should engage with the political sphere in some capacity, whether through prayer, advocacy, or participation in governance.

@ante-nicenechristianity I'd like a response on these verses showing to be involved in multiple ways and why I'm not following christ when these verses tell me to be involved in multiple different ways. 1.

@@Itskinda_funnyof course we should pay our taxes and therefore render unto Caesar. But the Greek word for „governing authorities“ can also mean „higher powers“. Why do you think people go to hell for not worrying too much about this world? You‘re sooo backwards.

Aren’t you in bondage to the world‘s system if you think YOU could change them before Christ returns?

@Lillianmoss26 Yeah, we've started buying plain white shirts and all that to wear. Better to be simple. It's also good to not have too many clothes also.

I don't see anyone of the fathers interpreting it that way. Therefore yes, you may wear colors.

@@ante-nicenechristianity Thank you!

Amen. Poltics are a game only fools play.

@AlphaStudios-lh1rz It was myself (Nolan). It was a subject that was particularly important to me and I thought worth addressing.

100 %ly.

May you quote this please? I am convinced that back then all godly women were putting a covering on their face below the eyes (some also on the hair, some didn't, but both groups covered/veiled the face). As should all today in public. Being ignorant is one thing, but when you get revealed the truth, there is no excuse

is biblical. Galatians 3:28

It's neither.

I do believe that brother Nolan, considering the large political past for his young age, could easily deal with those books. As far as politics are concerned, they only bring DIVISION. Now, as does Christ, but a different one. A needed one, not a childish one. Politicis are like a chess game. Like one put it: clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right. We cannot play that game walking in the spirit.

Amen. When Jesus comes back, He will establish a THEOcracy (as opposed to the man made "theocracies").

Likely. From the prophecies from Daniel we can conclude that the Antichrist ain't gonna be a single person, but rather, the entire kingdom. "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy" Revelation 13:1 I don't think this to be a literal beast, rather all the rulers of this world. "Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings." Daniel 7:23-24

Is there even such animal as a "Christian nation"?

@@AlphaStudios-lh1rz it depends on the nature of that nations founding since the Christian people are different. It comes with its own ethos

@@matrixlone aren't we as Christians an own culture?

PRAISE GOD

Which ruler is good, other than God? God does put kings into office, and we do keep those laws that are not opposed by God's laws, but they aren't our masters (Matthew 6:24).

@AlphaStudios-lh1rz well answer my first question. Would you not vote for party B? It is absurd to believe that by voting for a party you endorse all it's positions. Would it be sinful to vote for party B in your opinion or not?

@@Μπρο I don't think you are going to hell for voting - no one said that - but it's useless. You are called to call people out of this system, the new world order, as some call it, but not be part of it.

Yeah, pay your taxes, but do not become part of eartly governments.

@@AlphaStudios-lh1rz exactly, Ive heard so many try to connect voting to the paying of taxes and even saying that when Jesus said "Render unto Caesar" He was implicitly approving of Christians voting. This is a misconstruction of Scripture. We are commanded to pay taxes and voting has nothing to do with that. The mantra of "No taxation without representation " expresses an American value not a Christian one.

@@dudleyvandergriff8174 Correct, even though I would add that our authority aren't per se earthly goverments but "higher powers" (Romans 13:1). We are to obey the laws of the land but when they go against God's word - like putting a flag into the same place as God and His word - we must not obey. Therefore, we must make sure that we provide as much as help to the least of these as the Holy Spirit draws us to. Such would also be issue with the tithe (which was an OT thing). Under the NT we are to provide help to orphans and widows - and not just a bit, btu as much as we can - instead of giving to so called "churches". "So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:33 "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give." Matthew 10:8 We are not anarchists, but must render ourselves dead to this world. "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God" Ephesians 2:19 "For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ" Philippians 3:20 This, also shows we must beware how to invest what we have. I used to be one of those Christians who loved to collect things for YEARS. I wish I had listened to the Holy Spirit way sooner. This money would have better off to build an orphanage than for worldly entertainment garbage.

@Μπρο This is an apostolic command that existed over 1900 years before the CIA was created.

@@ante-nicenechristianity damn, I kinda trust the successors of the apostles more than you 😳

@Μπρο It was the successors of the Apostles that convinced me of this position, what...?

@ante-nicenechristianity the succession didn't stop friend, the church still exists and it doesn't agree with you, you may have been a little too much into politics and now you are taking another extreme as a reaction.

Good point BUT are you premillenial, postmillenial or amillenial?

Do an in-depth study on Constantine. He brought paganism into the church, changed the feasts and festivals [times and seasons] of the Lord, and merged politics with Christianity. He did this to accommodate the practices of his former god, Sol Invictus. That is the god worshipped by the majority in Christendom today under the facade of serving the LORD, the God of the Scriptures. The apostacy from the faith once for all delivered to the saints kicked into high gear with the reign of Constantine.

@@55shellbell Correct. Plus, he rejected the deity of Christ, therefore he was no Christian.

They will as soon as Christ returns. It's not our mission to sanctify the world (1 John 2:17). I would like to but that would be a waste of time, if we talk Christ's world literally.

Correction. Even though I wouldn't say that booze was illegal, only illegal to SELL.

@legodavid9260 We should strive to have the same faith as the earliest Christians, and not believe novel teachings.

​@@ante-nicenechristianityI absolutely agree. Personally I think the best way to judge Christian denominations is to look at how close they are to the Bible and the teachings of the early Church.

We follow the authority of the Ante-Nicene Fathers whose teachings must be obeyed because their teaching lines back to Jesus and his apostles. They we’re the last real bishops or as you might say pastors.
