Had a conversation with a woman yesterday, which I never intended to, nor imagined would, turn political. She asked what Biden was thinking by pushing one of the most mild items on his evil, destructive agenda. I replied that he is most likely incapable of thought.
She became indignant and attempted to lecture me that God put Biden in power. I called BS on this ridiculous assumption. God allows stuff to happen; but rarely causes it Himself. He allows people to sin; but doesn't commit the sin Himself. He allowed Israel to chase evil and turn utterly corrupt; but He didn't corrupt them.

Predictably, she threw Romans 13 in my face. I explained that the people are the legitimate rulers of the USA; not our public servants. When those public servants violate the Constitution, they rebel against the rightful authority of the land. So far, this country has not formally transformed into a monarchy. We are not required to obey any earthly king--nor public servants who try to act like a king.
This went in one ear and out the other, of course. More was said, which consisted of me wasting my time using reason; and her manipulating, deflecting, and finally changing the subject.
The woman is Silent Generation. Silent and Boomers grew up in a world in which there was no penalty for living under delusion (such as a miraculous transformation into a righteous person with sterling moral character, and God's approval, the moment some dirtbag is awarded a government paycheck). They would not pay the consequence for their delinquent stewardship of our republic. Their children and grandchildren have to pay it--all while being chastised by those who are part of the problem when we recognize reality.
That we study and accept the whole counsel of scripture, rather than just the bias-confirming passages selected by the High and Awakening era preachers, looks like heresy to them.
