Bible Seeds: Making Political Arguments From God's Word
Bible Seeds: Making Political Arguments From God’s Word - The month of June has become the time of year when the Supreme Court Of The United States, ( SCOTUS ) releases their judgments about important issues concerning the laws of the land and how they fit in with what was written by the founders of the United States.
The first command was personal, just for Adam and Eve. The next command that God gave to his people in the “New World” after the flood, is found atGenesis Chapter 9: verse 5. “If anyone takes human life, he will be punished. I will punish any animal that takes human life with death. Man was made by God, so whoever murders a man will himself be killed by his fellow man.” This was not a personal command, but a command from God to all His creation!
When we think it nothing to take God’s commands and turn them into political arguments that have to be voted on, we make a mockery of God’s judgments and His will! So we argue to vote on “The Death Penalty”, and whether or not God made more than two genders.

Bible Seeds: God's Prophecies Fulfilled
Bible Seeds: There is a poem from Robert Burns, the poet, that inspired a book by John Steinbeck titled “Of Mice and Men.” The quote goes like this “The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray.” This does not only apply to people but to spiritual entities like Satan and his demons.
For example, Satan thought he was successful at killing Jesus on the cross and seeing him put in a tomb! But Jesus came back at His resurrection, and was victorious over death.
This next verse may tell us what Satan felt like when it was over! “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known ( God’s Plan ) , they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”

Bible Seed: And God Only Knows
Bible Seeds: A while ago, Paul Simon, the songwriter-singer wrote a song titled ‘Slip-Slidin’ Away.’ One of the verses start out, ‘And God only knows, And God makes his plan. The information is unavailable for the mortal man’
As we look at the stories about the relationships between God and His creation, we see that God has a way of letting us know what is going to happen without telling us how He is going to accomplish it! God likes to surprise us.
I think that anyone who has been helped by God has often been surprised by the way He helped them. They may have expected that God would help them in a certain way, but were totally surprised how God accomplished helping them by twist and turns that often made His believers think that God might be working against them. A good example of what I’m talking about is this story from the bible!
