The "Master" didn't create chaos...directly. But He did give each and everyone of us a free will. FREE WILL! Meaning that we are the ultimate choosers of our lives. If we choose to create chaos, then we will. It is not like we're all a bunch of robots, waiting at the hands of the mechanic for him to push a button and make us kill everyone.

QITE AGREE THAT WE CAN'T CHANGE THE WORLD,

But we can be changed ourselves (by God) and then help to change those circumstances around each of us when we are able. It starts with < ME > and should radiate out.

I agree with "it starts with ME" but we can change very well without God.

Lightbulb Christ in the Presidency

{Christ in you the hope of Glory}
George Bush, Christian. Christ in you the hope of glory. The scripture says in John 4 that Every spirit that acknowleges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of GOd. But every spirit that does not acknowlege Jesus is not from god, this is the spirit of the anti-christ. I realize that this speaks of Jesus coming in human flesh, but could it not also speak of christ in you or in George bush, our president? If he is led by the spirit of God than you might say that christ (Иисус) has an opportunity to be president, or at the least influence the presidency.

what if Jesus was President?

i would go so far to guess of the usa? russia?
lets see in order to get elected to any public office
someone would need to run for that office. the person desiring to hold a political office will have to make promises. an example in Texas we are going to elect a new governor. both sides have slung mud,the republican candidate(Rick Perry) seems to hit on the issue of his opponents financial background. the opponent(Tony Sanchez)
is a very wealthy man,he seems very articulate and slings the least amount of mud. the conjecture from one side of the issue is just downright silly. Now lets do the Jesus
say running for president. He will have to campaign in the primaries,and knowing what we all know about his background
his opponent may use the underhanded attack, i understand you are the product of an immaculate conception. is this true? what is immaculate conception? do you really expect us to believe this one? you prosleytize people to your religion(playing devils advocate,please forgive me) which is
little more than a cult. what would his response be?
i forgive you. another tactic that might be used,you can
heal the ill,and make wine from water,bread,fish,etc. do you really expect us to believe this? there is some recent studies that his parents were really quite wealthy so
i will go with this one. you say you're a carpenter,do you
belong to the carpenters union? do you support unions?
where and how did your parents acquire their wealth? about
your associates. their odd behavior,how do you explain that. what are your views on social security? taxes,defense,balancing the federal budget,education,are you
in favor of religion in schools? about the congress they're idiots aren't they? the enviornment what are your ideas? this is just an example of what may or may not occur
during a political campaign involving Jesus. i said how i said it as if christianity didn't exist,so judiaism,paganism,and all the rest exist. if we use the example of over 2000 years ago and fast foward it to today
he wouldn't get elected,to put it bluntly he would be
treated quite unfairly by the press corps,and his opponents.

Bush led by the spirit of God? I doubt Bush is led by any spirit, even not by his own.
