PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS

   Other than President Martin Van Buren, the bloodline of all other U. S. Presidents has been traced to one man, King John of England, 1167-1216.
   How in the world is this possible?
   Is it possible that presidential elections have been fixed from George Washington down to Barack Obama?
   Now let us gather together and blame President Trump for everything that is wrong with the United States while laying no charge at the feet of any other U.S. President.
   It is easy for people to blame President Trump for everything that is wrong with America because Mr. Trump is visible  and therefore an easy target.  But because other Presidents are either dead or retired, they have been exempt from their responsibilities and all of their faults are now on Mr. Trump.  And the people, while accepting no responsibility for their personal issues or personal failures, also blame President Trump.
   Does this seem to be the way of people all across the United States:
      to blame others for everything that is wrong
         while escaping personal responsibility?
   Haven't we heard this before?

   There came a day in the garden of Eden when God said unto Adam,

      "Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat?
        And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
       And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? 
       And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat."  (Genesis 3: 11-13)

   Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the serpent, and the blame game has worked well for thousands of years, even for people in the United States.
   We can't blame ourselves, can we? 
   Not when we believe we are perfect and incapable of sin, thereby escaping personal responsibility.
   After all, people have invented easy solutions for sin, such as water baptism, or by simply believing that a man or a woman in priestly garments can forgive sin; and with methods as simple as these, what do people need God for?  And what do people need Christ for?---even though many say, "Jesus is the reason for the season".
   Where is God across American today?
   And where is Christ, the One we say we worship and adore at Christmas and at Easter?
   Could it be that,
   
      "He is not here, but is risen: 
           why seek ye the living
              among the dead?" 
                 (Luke 24: 5, 6)
