Putin smarter than some on AFF

"It's hard to imagine what else can these people who generate such nonsense and rubbish can dream up next.....

What surprises me is that they are shaking up the domestic political situation using anti-Russian slogans. Either they don't understand the damage they're doing to their own country, in which case they are simply stupid, or they understand everything, in which case they are dangerous and corrupt."

I don't care what that murderous thug has to say. He's a tyrant. No one should be applauding this guy. Putin has a longer list of dead associates and enemies than Bill and Hillary Clinton, and that's saying something.

Do you believe that God put him in the place he is in?

Are you suggesting that God approves of Putin?

There is no scripture to support the idea that every dog catcher and Justice-of-the-Peace is chosen by God.

Um, we are talking a little bit higher than the dog catcher friend.

I do believe that God puts in places of powers those that He chooses. It is a part of His omnipotence. The Word says that Nebuchadnezzar was put there by God. Why not Putin? It is a powerful place. Just my observations.

Now that does not mean that Putin is a man of God, indeed not. But it can mean that Putin is there for a purpose designed by God.

Just recently I read where a magazine named P the most powerful man in the world. You don't think God is in control of that?

Because the Bible does not say "Putin". It's all theory and conjecture.

This was your post in response to a question, "Do you think God put Putin in power?"

You made the first claim, that "there is no scripture" etc.

I would think you could back up your doctrine with scripture, brother.

BTW, my post originally dealt with the LOGIC of your claim "God didn't raise up Putin to power because the Bible doesn't say his personal name." I wasn't even saying anything about Putin, just your LOGIC.

But anyway, can you prove YOUR CLAIM?

Ok. I looked through bible and found no scripture to support the idea that every leader is appointed directly by God. Claim proved.
