And what part of the kingdom does Germany--whichever Germany one imagines--occupy, that a Christian should feel some compulsion to act? And what acts are we even contemplating?

It is really up to Germans. But what I see happening is a war between the Islamic invaders and the Russian Empire (not communists Soviets).

Let's face it. Democracy does not work in Europe. They have a tendency to democratize themselves out of existence. In reality, their tolerance for authoritarian Islam stems from the European need to be led, told what to do. This is why Weimar Germany failed and why the former communist block still leans towards authoritarianism to one degree or another, and in one form or another. Eventually, those in Europe who want to remain European will beg for Russian intervention. I don't think the Russians will completely eliminate the autonomy of those countries, but they will have allot of influence. Britain might be the exemption as they will probably pull out of the EU and deal with their Muslim problem ahead of time.

Re: Islam is a threat

well, London just got a Muslim mayor, so they appear to have a different perspective, but regardless, how could all that possibly not be viewed as "of the world" type stuff? How do you advocate voting, knowing that your vote for potus is completely irrelevant anyway, and over and above that, highly suspecting that the potus is just a puppet for his master, as indicated by Scripture?

I vote because God placed me in a country that is very unique among nations, one where I have a voice. I don't shun God given opportunities to influence things.

As for London, it is one city that is hardly inhabited by true British.

Re: Islam is a threat

ah, well, i don't grasp how your vote for potus is completely irrelevant anyway might be reconciled with I have a voice, but i would not dissuade anyone from following their heart in the matter. However, i would call you to reflect upon what influence your vote has, if it does not elect; does it not legitimize? Aren't you possibly becoming responsible, by voting, for an outcome you have no control over? Wouldn't an en masse abstention from voting have some possibly more profound influence?

Don't you just hate it?

So, which one will you choose?

A or B?

H or T?

If the choice comes down to A (Trump) or B (Hillary), I'll likely choose C (None of the above).
