“...people content to choose between Satan and Beelzebub have made clear their willingness to let things go to hell. Moreover, the nature of their choice is so clear to them that they practically boast of the passionate hatred that impels them to it. With this practical boast they become the willing, proud accomplices of the very evil they profess to hate.
People who put their trust in God need never accept the devil’s choice, fighting evil with evil. ....Many Americans pray and profess to believe that His kingdom is near. But in their sovereign duty as citizens they now propose to abandon their profession. It is what has made self-government possible for them. It can do so again, even now, but only if they remember it in time. As for the choice between Obama and Romney, it’s the devil’s choice either way. Only evil can come of it.”
There’s the unabashed BIBLICAL TRUTH.
Anyone wanting to play with that and spin it for political truth and expedience, are serving a devil.
Between Obama and Romney, voting for either one is not a choice - it’s a trap served to us by the Destroyer himself.
How do you ever, ever get a candidate that is unbad enough to not be a “devil” in this formulation?
I’ve never seen that defined in the context of the argument. All we have available in the political contests of this fallen world, and all that God sees, is sinners pitted against other sinners.
“People who put their trust in God need never accept the devil’s choice, fighting evil with evil. ....Many Americans pray and profess to believe that His kingdom is near.

AMEN! It is a horrible sell out for Bible Believing Conservative Evangelical Christians that know that Mormonism is a false Christianity and Cult. In the past, I have bought into the “lesser of two evils” argument, because there was truly a lesser. However, putting a Mormon in the seat of POTUS where he can use that office to mislead millions into accepting Mormonism as “OK” and possibly “converting” to it is just too far to go. Romney has already, shown himself to not be a conservative and holds evil positions (not really pro-life, actually pro-homosexual, big government statist, etc.) To me the Mormonisn was the final straw. I cannot support Romney, and if fact argressively oppose him just as much as I do Obama.
Speaking of spin.

The election is still a ways off, and after the results are in, and the first year is over, there will be ample opportunity for apologies on all sides. It ain’t over till it’s over. I’ll just say that no one named Mitt Romney, will come within a thousand light years of the destruction, division, and destitution perpetrated on this country by the present occupier of the White House.
