Is God speaking to people, political parties, or both?

Like Abel, may all be blessed to love God, neighbors, families, and authorities.

Question 1:  “Is God speaking to people or political parties in Isaiah 58:9-14:  ‘Thus says The Lord:  If you remove from your midst oppression, false accusation, and malicious speech;  if you bestow your bread on the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted, then a light shall rise for you in the darkness and the gloom will become for you like midday’?”

Answer:  “God is speaking to people and political parties when He tells us to ‘remove oppression, false accusation, and malicious speech’.   Both people and political parties destroy themselves by disobeying God and hating their neighbor.”

Question 2:  “Will God help us if we love and help our neighbor?”

Answer:  “The next verse explains: ‘Then The Lord will guide you always and give you plenty even on the parched land.  He will renew your strength and you shall be like a watered garden whose water never fails.’

~

Question 3:  “Did God have Isaiah tell us what we may become by striving to obey Every Word of God?”

Answer:  “‘Repairer of the breach.’, they shall call you, ‘Restorer of ruined homesteads.’

~

Question 4:  “Are we doing God’s Work when we pray for God to enlighten those who use Environmental Protection excuses to keep young families from building homes for their families?”

Answer:  “May all be blessed to stand before God at His Judgment and see that our ‘Book of Life’ reports that we were ‘Restorers of ruined homesteads’.”

~

Question 5:  “How can family-destroying cultists save their souls?”

Answer:  “‘If you honor the Sabbath by not following your ways, seeking your own interests, or speaking with malice, then you shall delight in The Lord.’  Then, He may ‘delight’ in us!

~

Question 6: “Does God want us to pray for family and freedom destroyers in the Environmental Protection cults?”

Answer:  “Dante tells us the souls of those engaged in ‘complex frauds’ are sent forever into the deepest pits of hell.  But, The Prophet Ezekiel echoes Isaiah in 33:11:  ‘I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked man, says The Lord, but rather in his conversion that he may live.’

Jesus reinforced that in Luke 5:27-32.  ‘Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do.  I have not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners.’
