(I'm not running for THE leader of the free world, am I?)
All heretics’ theology includes a false god or false view of the true God
(Which doesn't simply translate to things floating about in ethereal region...but translates to real prayers -- to true and false gods...answered or neglected...and to real guidance and counsel offered -- or denied -- by the living God)
Tell me something...does the Bible tell us to glorify God with only theological and religious things?...or are we to glorify God in all we do? Then tell me: Is the TRUE God (or Christ) usually glorified by the actions of a heretic who would give credit for his good works to a flesh-and-bones guy who was once a sinner and eventually got the God job?
I wouldn’t exclude them from consideration for public office whether they be LDS, Jew, Deist, Dispensationalist, Calvinist, etc.
We're not talking about running for your local dog catcher here; but leader of the free world...Nor, btw, do I detect ANY national campaign sweeping across America to preclude Mormons, Jews, deists, dispensationalists, and Calvinists to run for your local dog-catcher.
IOW...you raise here -- by perfect innuendo -- a straw man...addressing some political office "crusade" that I see nobody on...Where are the crusaders of such a strawman campaign?
...I’m not voting for them for a clerical position, but a public one.
How "neat" that would work if you could reduce "ministry" (which just means "service") to some "religious" mechanism...as if 'twas only some parochial duty. (Guess you better get on the Britons' case for calling their leaders "Prime MINISTERS" ... comes a wee bit too close to "clerical" service, eh?)
I don’t see how actions that help further the survival of the Obama regime glorifies God. Just the opposite.
So, again, I don’t think your argument occupies the moral or spiritual high ground.
No, you’re not running for office, but you seem to be saying only those who share your Christology, your view of the One True God, should be voted for. So whether your views are heretical matters - if one is to decide whether to follow your pronouncements.
If applied consistently under the axiom of “true God,” your logic would include not voting for Jews because they are Jews and deists because they are deists.
I don’t think you would support this, which illustrates that your argument requires a subjective twist. Which makes it not a very effective argument.
thanks for your reply.
