It really isn’t complex at all. Upthread I believe you also said it’s not black-and-white. Well, it is.
That verse behind your Freep name isn’t vague nor open to interpretation. Look-—I’m not telling you what to do nor how to vote. But I would think that someone who promotes the crystal clarity of such doctrine would also understand my points.
And I don’t think you can compare the murder of innocents to a problem with drink.
As I said, you do what you want, but I have my own standing with God to think about, and I’m not saying that to come across as holier-than-thou. I caved in 2012 and voted for Romney, and I experienced a, shall we say, personal spiritual crisis as a result.
I learned a tough lesson. I won’t endanger my relationship with God for a political candidate again. I’ll take all the flak that comes my way for that, but it’s not going to change my stance.
I voted against Mitt Romney in my state primary. Are you saying I sinned when I voted for him in the general election? President Obama supports unlimited, government sponsored and promoted (!) abortion on demand at any time for any reason. As a state senator, President Obama actually voted to kill babies who somehow survived the procedure!
In the general election, Mitt Romney was the only candidate with a realistic chance of beating Obama. Again, I’m not talking about primaries where RINOs like Mitt should be exterminated! No. I believe Mitt Romney was (is) pro-abortion, but he’s clearly no Obama in my book. Are you saying I’m evil for voting to stop Obama the best way I could at the time?
BTW, I will not do what Kansas58 did and accuse you of sin by not compromising. I don’t think blood is on your hands any more than it’s on mine. We both want abortion gone. It sickens me to even think of it! If you believe it’s sin to vote for someone like Romney to stop an Obama, please don’t vote for Romney! I’m sure we both know it’s wrong to cause a brother or sister to stumble. Do what you believe the Lord wants—always!
