In God's eyes, we're all as sinful as Obama or Romney...

Maybe you are.

...but I don't try to be more discerning than He Who Created Us.

You just claim to know what He sees through His eyes.

I know what the Bible says - we are all sinners and the penalty for any sin is death. Jesus died so those that accepted Him as Savior could be washed of their sins and have eternal life. The only unforgivable sin is to blaspheme the Holy Spitit. If either Romney or Obama has accepted Christ, God sees them as holy and pure, just like all who have done so. I doubt Obama has and find it ironic if Romney has, but I don't know any more than you do. Being saved does not exclude us from sinful acts, it just means that the acts aren't counted against us anymore - anyone who thinks differently is fooling themselves. I've known many in various churches who proclaim their infallible goodness because they are saved, yet I have also recognized their imperfections. It is said that the poor in spirit will inherit Heaven - Paul demonstrated what it is to be poor in spirit when he lamented that he was doing the things which he would not do, and not doing that which he would do. he was distressed at his inability to not commit sinful acts and to always do what was right and good - he recognized his imperfections and knew that withjout God's love and forgiveness he was unworthy.

It has nothing to do with me, it has all todo with God. I repeat: Do not try to be more discerning than God.
