What the republicans did last December is the reasons why I'm not on board with any candidate but being critical of all of them and their supporters. I've been down that road, supported so many candidates in the past that have told the American people how conservative they were only once they got into power, they screwed the people who sent them into office. I don't trust any of them but I will hold my nose and vote for who ever wins the primary over Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton any day.
I would submit that there hasn’t been a Godly man elected President for a very long time if forever. God doesn’t care. God puts leaders up and takes them down according to what he needs to accomplish.
Some of Christians I know realize that their vote doesn’t mean anything and that God is in charge of who is president and what he/she will do as president. So they don’t vote.
Ted Cruz gives 1% to charity.
Christian ?
Best response is, “But Jesus isn’t on the ballot this year. Who’s your SECOND choice?”
These guys just love losing. It’s what they do best....
Yep. By this author’s standards, is he voting for Carson? Or even Huck?
You're quoting an article from a site founded and run by a Mormon (Glenn Beck).
Who is “Godless”? How arrogant does a person have to be to declare another person Godless when the target of the attack says that he is Christian? Presbyterians don’t march around proclaiming how much more Godly we are than other people because we understand that ALL and sinners and fall far short of the perfect standard required by God. We understand that God did all the work in our salvation and that we should not boast.
But, the prideful boasting of people who “know” what is in the hearts of people they’ve never met is just getting ridiculous!
I used to just say Beck was dead to me.. Now I’m pretty sure that I despise him.
Romney. McCain. Dole, Trump!
“Another, “I will only vote for Jesus himself†voter?”
There are many here, and you know who you are, are not a stranger to the scriptures and surely have read Pauls warning to those who flaunt God's laws.....and to those who by their silence, agree with their disobedience! It is to these people this message is directed.
Last time we elected a Sunday School teacher, it didn’t turn out very well.
So we should all just shut up, not vote in the Primary because Trump will win the R-ino nomination, and have Sanders as Prez then right?
Your post is moral relativism at it’s finest.
With all due respect, I listen to a lot of people on YouTube that articulate conservatism better than most anyone else, And most of them are outspoken atheists:
Problem #1: you assume that "conservatism" (which apparently means many different things, since many on FR think that Trump and Reagan both fit the definition... quite the "big tent", it seems) is the highest priority, and you assume that "conservativism" trumps (no pun intended) God. Wrong. Any so-called "conservative" who flouts the law of God is betraying everything good about conservativism. The way some people talk, they'd try to vote in another God if He did something which didn't fit their mold of "conservatism".
Problem #2: the statements of atheists (like those of anyone else) are only true and good if they align with the law of God. Honestly: by what standard are you measuring "the true and the good"? By what standard do you evaluate whether any so-called "article of conservativism" (and there are many contradictory ones) are GOOD, or not? I personally feel that fighting communism/socialism, securing the border, working to eliminate the horror of abortion, and eradicating legal recognition of "gay marriage" are all good because they are in keeping with the law of God (in the sense that a denial of private property, and a willful disregard for law and borders, contradicts and makes nonsense of "thou shalt not steal", Romans 13, etc.; and the latter two are clearly defined as abominations in God's eyes).
So I think this whole if you aint Christian, then you are a closet communist line of nonsense needs to stop,
Perhaps you should tell that to someone who holds that view. I don't, nor did I say anything even remotely in support of it. Atheists can be correct about a good many things... but it's in SPITE of their atheism, not because of it... and certainly not because they anoint themselves with the totemic title of "conservative" (that, and a buck or two, will get a cup of coffee). Christianity possesses the truth, but it doesn't follow that those who aren't Christian cannot have the truth; they can absorb it through sources in the culture, "inherit" it (albeit unwittingly) from Christian predecessors, or even read the "writing on the human heart" (cf. Romans) put there by God. My point is that there is such a thing as objective truth... above and beyond any political movement, any personal opinion, any vote, any constitution, etc. Our Founding Fathers knew this.
because it seems like there are plenty of people that are “Christians†that have been real good at screwing over us real well.
And that proves... what, exactly? Are you saying that atheists haven't done at least as much damage? Why are you so forgiving of them, and so willing to wave away Christians?
I hear what you are saying. Then I see post after post of contempt, scorn and derision.
Folks seem to believe that the chastening hand of God has withered and died.
Rude awakening coming.
No. Nor do I think it's at all necessary. I can read what people write, hear what they say, watch what they do. If someone contradicts the Law of God by any/all of these, and hasn't shown sincere, visible repentance for them (aside from political, election-time opportunism), then it's reasonable to conclude that they still hold to those false views. Yes?
