Facebook Opinions

                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                              

When I make posts on facebook, I sometimes get back-chat from "friends" who don't
"like" my politics.  When I make posts on facebook, it's certainly . . . thanks be to God . . .
always clear what I like, and what I hate.

It doesn't matter if people disagree with me.  Not because people's "right" to hold and
speak whatever "opinion" they wish is a real thing, but because people's opinions don't
ultimately matter.  One take-away of John 1:3  ("All things came into being through Him,
and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being") is that God
Alone created reality as He wished. Contrary the central doctrine of "democracy," no
other "opinion" has any bearing on what reality is, or how it works.

What's left to us is to acknowledge God's sovereignty in the matter, and  live in synch
with God's reality, and His ways and purposes in it . . . or not.

I think it's clear in all my facebook posts that I "like" people who tell the truth. Every-
one else is a deceiver.

Clear too that I "like" people who do good to others. Everyone else is, in Jesus' terms,
ia murderer (Matthew 5:21-2).

Those are the political principles I'm coming from: same as the principles of my life
and my religion.

People are welcome to take issue with my politics all they want.

But anyone who "likes" principles of life, religion, and politics contrary to the ones
I'm coming from is a damned fool . . . in this world and the next.

Not just my opinion.
