The lowest Of Men!Posted : 13 May, 2010 02:22 PMi believe "lowliest" speaks to one being humble and not low in stature or moral rank. i could be wrong. i hope this post is not aimed at fulfilling any political biases. |

The lowest Of Men!Posted : 13 May, 2010 09:31 PMI agree that we have to pray for them... but at the same time, scripture tells us to submit to our leaders, because God has put them there to begin with. There is no leader that has gotten to where he/she is without God allowing that to happen. Maybe Obama isn't the best man for the job. Maybe he is. Either way, God has allowed him to enter this leadership role. Again, it may be to help us, and it may be to discipline us. I'm not God. I can't answer that right now. Our job is to acknowledge God and his choice, and submit ourselves to our leadership, as long as it doesn't interfere with our TRUE leadership (God). Fact of the matter is... it's impossible for us to know what would have happened if McCain had been elected (or any other candidate for that matter). God saw it fit to do things this particular way, so we just need to stop complaining and live in the peace that God is in control, no matter what. |

The lowest Of Men!Posted : 13 May, 2010 10:27 PMI agree with the statement we are to pray, that is right, but if we are to pray we need to know why and what we are praying, if the lord put him in office he disagreed with his word. |

The lowest Of Men!Posted : 14 May, 2010 03:13 AMThe King James Bible interprets the identical word differently in 4:17, claiming that it means "basest" of men, a term that means low in the sense of crudeness or inability to perform the duties involved. This would mean the angelic watchman is implying that God gives kingdoms to men who don't deserve to be king, perhaps even representing a put-down of Nebuchadnezzar himself. The understanding is contained in the over all contects of what it is speaking about, When God decreed that Nebuchadnezzar because of his arraigance would eat grass like cattle for seven years until he acknowledged that God in Heaven rules, Daniel 4:24-26, |
