A Biblical Response to Current Events – 6-9-20

What’s Happening: “A CNN Poll, putting Biden ahead of Trump by double digits, was bashed Monday by the Trump campaign saying Trump was behind Hillay, too, at this point in the campaign in 2016. The poll was different by 7 points over last month’s poll (dropping in job approval from 45% to 38%) and shows Biden winning amongst likely voters – still, it’s 5 months out from the November elections. The GOP pollster, McLaughlin and Associates said CNN’s poll was skewed as it didn’t include enough Republican voters. CNN’s margin of error was 3-4% (https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-fumes-cnn-poll-finds-184338902.html). ‘I have retained highly respected pollster, McLaughlin & Associates, to analyze 1todays CNN Poll (and others), which I felt were FAKE based on the incredible enthusiasm we are receiving. Read analysis for yourself. This is the same thing they and others did when we defeated…Crooked Hillary Clinton in 2016. They are called SUPPRESSION POLLS, and are put out to dampen enthusiasm. Despite 3 ½ years of phony Witch Hunts, we are winning, and will close it out on November 3rd!’ Trump tweeted.”
Knee-Jerk Response: “I guess it depends on to whom you talk and what their agenda is…”
Biblical Response: “True…and both sides have an agenda: the Biden camp wants to dampen Trump-voter enthusiasm, the Trump camp wants no one to believe the polls. At least Trump has history on his side…the Hillary camp polls had her winning the 2016 election…but Trump won by a comfortable margin.To me, the real issue is the importance of polls these days. Has the American public really sunk to the unthinking level as to let polls dictate how they are going to vote?. Surely not! I guess we’ll find out who’s telling the truth. After all, the Scripture says:
“Truthful lips will be established forever, But a lying tongue is only for a moment.” (Prov. 12:19 NASU)
“Christians? We believe in truth prevailing (the above Scripture) ,… and in its freeing ability (John 8:32). That means that those who believe lies are imprisoned by them.”
Here’s a Prayer You Can Pray: “Heavenly Father, help us think for ourselves and seek the truth, rather than be manipulated to be imprisoned by lies; in Jesus’ Name, amen.”
