re: Has anyone considered that this execution debacle could be God's will?

You really must stop calling Foo names. You don't need to call him "stupid" and "idiot" to make your points. In fact, by calling him such names you only harm your own persuasiveness.

I see your point, but, it seems to me that every single nation-state on Earth can be said to be wicked and embracing immorality, so, it's a wash, isn't it? If every nation is wicked and immoral, then all of them deserve God's Punishment. I guess that fits with your Theology.

All do, yes. If God blesses or curses a nation, it is according to His good pleasure. We should not expect God’s blessing if we are wicked, though. We should be like the city of Nineveh and repent publicly as a nation.

The most unusual Political position that you have, Foo, is that you never vote in any election because you believe that the US Constitution is a wicked document because it fails to declare Jesus Christ as King of the Universe. Have I summarized that accurately?

Close, but not quite. And thank you for the attempt being made in such a friendly tone.

1) I do vote in elections, but selectively. I vote for all the state and local statutes and amendments. I also research candidates to see if any have made a public profession of faith in Jesus and have lived lives consistent with that profession, and are committed to governing according to biblical principles.

2) I don’t believe the Constitution is entirely wicked. I believe it has very good principles established within it, but it is against God by neither covenanting with Christ as King, nor establishing the Christian religion as supreme over and against all other religions. This recognition of the true religion does not need to prevent religious freedom or toleration, nor does it need to require faith in the Christian religion (faith cannot be forced), but it should not be neutral, as if Christianity is just one religion out of many and equal in truth.

3) Even with this lack of recognition by the Constitution, a person may still hold that Jesus is supreme and that allegiance is to Him above the Constitution, though it is lawful to uphold and defend the Constitution otherwise, so I can vote for candidates who profess supreme allegiance to Jesus.
