"So the Muslim Governments were established by your God even though they serve another god?" Yes: and your point is? Romans 9: "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." 16It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy. 17For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."[g] 18Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden. 19One of you will say to me: "Then why does God still blame us? For who resists his will?" 20But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?'" 21Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use? 22What if God, choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction? 23What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory— 24even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles? 25As he says in Hosea: "I will call them 'my people' who are not my people; and I will call her 'my loved one' who is not my loved one," 26and, "It will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' they will be called 'sons of the living God.'

According to Greg or e you not only have to like the following news but because it is ordained by God you have to worship it to. Grits: PM using taxpayers' money to reward cronies By Althia Raj - SUN MEDIA OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper is using taxpayers’ money to reward Conservative cronies with plum posts, Liberal MPs charged Thursday. The Tories unleashed “unparalleled patronage” by appointing 233 former Conservative MPs, cabinet ministers, campaign workers, failed candidates and donors during the past 12 months, said Liberal MP Wayne Easter. “Stephen Harper seems to be addicted to the political patronage he promised to prevent,” Easter said. Liberals say the recent Harper-appointees contributed more than $272,000 to Conservative party coffers. Liberals say Harper broke his promise to establish a public appointments commission to ensure selections are based on merit. Harper shut the commission down after Liberal MPs rejected his choice of Calgary oilman Gwyn Morgan as the office’s first chairman in 2006. “It’s a bit rich for Liberals to be criticizing Conservatives over patronage appointments,” said NDP ethics critic Bill Siksay, adding Harper should nominate another person to head the commission. NDP and Conservative officials pointed out members of Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff’s office also benefited from political appointments, including diplomatic postings in Milan and Costa Rica. torontosun.com
