I think we are on the same page, but you misunderstood me when I said, "she serves Satan". I am not calling the queen a satanist. I apologize if I come across as impatient or judgmental. I should have said it just as you said in your above comment, that she served him at that one moment in time when she put her signature to the assent, in essence giving her approval of homosexual sin. I am passionate about the Gospel, and as a servant of Christ, I would never purposefully want to mislead anyone into thinking their sinful lifestyle is acceptable to God. I agree, the queen is not a teacher we can test, but she is a person that claims to be a servant of Christ, one that possibly millions look up to and respect. That gives her a greater responsibililty, as a servant of Christ, to speak the truth in love.<br /><br />Thank you for responding and I hope you can understand where I'm coming from.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03524102309065764539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-81833518905576774502016-02-26T22:18:37.556-05:002016-02-26T22:18:37.556-05:00Jennifer the minute I saw those ear plugs I said, ...Jennifer the minute I saw those ear plugs I said, eureka, why didn't someone think of that like a billion years ago?!

I really did want to let this rest. Sigh.<br /><br />To use the Queen’s phraseology, “Serving God” occurs over a lifetime after salvation. We already know that serving God is not possible before salvation.<br /><br />After salvation and before glorification, we sin. I said you were impatient before because your beef is that the Queen did something once at one moment of time that indicated she may not serve Jesus. However “serving Jesus” is a continual act over a lifetime, not a snapshot.<br /><br />I agree that signing a Parliamentary decree allowing civil ceremonies (not marriage) is an act that is at odds with the moral precepts of the Bible. However we can’t use one snapshot to say as you did “The Queen serves satan.” At that moment in time, yes, she served satan’s will, but to declaratively say “The Queen does not serve Jesus” is wrong.<br /><br />Further, to maintain that the Queen serves satan and not Jesus because she had power and used it to sign a decree is to say the same about David. He sinned with Bathsheba. He engaged in adultery and used his governmental position to murder Uriah. Solomon was a monarch who wielded national power to allow idolatry in the nation. Lot was a city councilman in <i>SODOM</i>, (that’s what it means to “sit at the city gate” it means administering the governmental affairs of the city) AND pimped his daughter, and yet God that Lot was righteous. David, Solomon, and Lot consented to a practice they knew would send people to face the wrath of God. Yet they are in heaven.<br /><br />I HOPE the Queen is not deceived into thinking she is saved when she isn’t, and I HOPE she isn’t one of those saying “Lord, Lord…as in Matthew 7:21-23. I hope her statement that she serves Jesus is spiritually true. However, she is not a teacher who we can test. For example, I said many times on this blog that Beth Moore does not serve Jesus, she is a false teacher. We can say this with confidence because we test what Moore says in her teachings, and she fails. We can see her lifestyle over many decades and it’s void of fruit. We cannot do that with the Queen. /shrug/<br /><br />Q. Elizabeth is a private citizen and worse, a monarch who leads an extremely private life. We will never know her worship, her giving, her fruit, her transparency. We can’t see her Christian lifestyle. We can’t test her words because she only speaks scripted speeches in public. Therefore only Jesus knows for sure who she serves <i>over the long run</i>. The best we can do is take her autobiographical words at face value and hope she serves Jesus and is in heaven with us in the end.<br />Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-17493061815168382682016-02-26T18:17:06.451-05:002016-02-26T18:17:06.451-05:00I really like your reasoning for not seeing "...I really like your reasoning for not seeing "Risen," and agrees with my sentiments.

And I don't know how you are reading impatience or judgment in my comments. I do not know the queen's heart any more than you do. I do hope she is saved as well. And maybe she regrets signing the assent, and has repented for it. She hasn't said so publicly, but who knows. It was three years ago.<br /><br />Forget we're talking about the queen, then. I'm only questioning how one can say they serve Christ (no matter who they are), and then consent to a practice they know will send people to face the wrath of God?Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03524102309065764539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-26370979199589403902016-02-26T14:40:00.170-05:002016-02-26T14:40:00.170-05:00Again, Jane, one incident does not destroy salvati...Again, Jane, one incident does not destroy salvation and one incident in a person's life is not a be-all and end-all for determining whether they are likely saved or not. I agree, it's not good, and I hope she is truly saved, as I said before. The Queen said she serves Jesus and I hope she truly does.<br /><br />I'm glad Jesus has more patience with us that you do.<br /><br />In addition, we don't know she doesn't mourn her nation's sin. <br /><br />Let's let it go for now, and we can see how it all turns out at the Bema seat or at the great White Throne JudgmentElizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-41417285052594190592016-02-26T14:22:22.324-05:002016-02-26T14:22:22.324-05:00She is a person of great power and influence.

Saved= service, unsaved = sinner in filthy rags. In answer to your question, I don't know how she is serving the Lord by signing the gay marriage document. I guess you will have to ask her, or read her book where she says in her own words she is serving the Lord.
