Neither have you addressed what I have said, outside of asserting that I need a civics lesson because I dared to state Romney's not going to do anything (including setting an agenda) that will work to repeal ObamaCare.
Where did I Idolize Romney? Where have I said he will save anything.
"I'm gonna vote for the future of my grandchildren and Romney"
Voting for Romney you apparently assert is 'saving' your grandkids' future/the nation etc. My contention is voting for Romney does no such thing and is on the line of idolatry. We do not have a monarchy. Perhaps I'm not the one in need of a civic's lesson.
Why do you think you are speaking for God?
What's the First Commandment?
Scripture is pretty plain on the issue of putting things before God or making institutions of men or men themselves into saviors. Remember when Israel wanted a king? Remember what God told Samuel? That's right - He told Samuel that the people had rejected God for want of a king. They believed a man would secure their future better than God. That's scripture if you have studied it - not me talking.
I'll say it again, to assert voting for Romney saves the nation or all the consequences of the last 4 decades, or that voting Romney somehow secures the future of our kids and grandkids, is idolatry. No politician is capable of doing any of those things. You would be putting men before God with such thinking. If that statement bothers you - good, it means your conscience is pricked with some truth and you do not like it. But that's fact, whether you want to accept it or not.
I am not voting for a preacher! Nor, am I electing a Pope!
Well, unlike you - I do not compartmentalize my faith. According to the Founders, our faith was supposed to be an active influence on our culture and our choice of representatives was to be a reflection of our faith. If it is so easy to vote the "lesser of evils" then it explains why when someone stands up for righteousness to decry such behavior is obviously something offensive to those who pay lip service to their faith.
Don't bother replying, because I am shaking the dust from my feet!
I guess biblical acumen is not your strong suit - when exactly did Jesus say we were supposed to do that?
Since my words to you are being rejected ( the attention whore you say I am) - I do not believe it is you to whom the admonition applies. But I know what you meant. BTW it's not necessarily you personally I'm making these observations - it's a mindset you have expressed that is in a majority - but it's not a mindset Christians should have - and that's why I'm making an issue out of it.
You do exemplify what II Timothy says about a people having only a form of religion. A people that can put God in a box and compartmentalize their faith. That might anger you - but it is the truth of where Christianity in America has arrived. It explains exactly how and why we have Obama as a ruler in the first place. Lukewarmness.
And in that specific regard, I am speaking on the authority of Jesus Christ because I'm essentially paraphrasing Paul's letter to Timothy for you.
Matthew:15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not?”
18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
21 “Caesar’s,” they replied.
Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.

I will not respond again, since you are an obvious hypocritical attention whore! I know in whom I believe... and it ain’t you, nor Romney. BUT, he has my vote!!
