“I’m sorry, but you do not know God’s mind enough to make this judgement.”
“I personally dont think judgement day for the Christian will really involve politics....”
I believe God still speaks to people when they take enough time to listen. As for politics, I’m pretty sure the book of Revelation talks about the anti-Christ, who rules the whole world. That seems pretty political to me. It’s been well documented on FR why so many of us can’t vote for Romney and I won’t revisit the many points. I refuse to be part of a Laodicean, compromising church.
The Anti-Christ is a bit of a stretch that I really dont quite follow. To say that because the Anti-Christ will be in part a political entity means that God will judge christians on political choices is reaching for me...and didn’t Jesus tell the Pharisee’s to render unto Caesar the things that were Caesar’s with regards to paying taxes. So by that then do we say that its wrong to object to paying taxes, because the jews were being unjustly taxed and Jesus said to pay it? The Romans were clearly pagan...do we take from Jesus that its ok to give to pagans? Its kind of taking a subject from the Bible out of context.
Back to the point, though, again saying that Romney’s record is the reason you wont vote for him is fine, and so is for that matter saying that you do or dont feel God speaking to you. All I object to is the idea that God will sit on Judgement day, and say to you or me, “remember in that election in 2012, when you voted for Romney because you thought him better than Obama? well, that was wrong, you should have voted for the third party guy who had no chance. Now there will be consequences.” I think there are plenty of good Christians who will vote for Romney, because he’s not as bad as Obama, and I dont think God will judge them for that.
