I agree that you answer to God and not to me.

Well thank you very much.

I spelled out the deficient logic of those who tell a Christian that they should do evil so that good will result. That is unbiblical logic. My biblical analysis, on the other hand, is supported by both the bible and by centuries of similar interpretation.

Well preacher, in that case you need to take your Biblical analysis and your sermons, and head to the rear with the gear, the rest of us have a battle to fight between now and November 6th, ok? Like the saying goes, "either lead, follow, or get the Hell out of the way".

So far as some necessity to keep our religious opinions out of our political discussions, that is not the case on Free Republic. The religion forum exists for specifically religious threads, not to prevent freepers from speaking out on the religious basis of their political positions.

Then you might kindly counsel your fellow evangelist SoConPubbie who seems bent on passing religious judgment on FReepers who live in the real world, faced with real world situations which are not perfect and which have no absolutely pure and simple answers as you prefer.

Jim Robinson, on the other hand, has said that Free Republic is a God, life, guns, etc., forum.

And it remains so. And since you wish to cite our Founder, here's another thing JimRob says with every post in his tagline:

"Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God!!"

None of us are enamored with the idea of having to vote for Romney in order to stop the tyrant known as 0bama, but unless you have a way to pull a rabbit out of your magic hat and provide ANOTHER method of removing 0bama from office, the only way that is going to happen is by voting for Romney & Ryan on November 6th.

But you go right ahead and be a conscientious objector.

"Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God!!"

Generally, an appropriate line.

It falls apart when the idea is to replace one evil baby killer with another evil baby killer, just because the 2nd guy kills a few less babies.

The Apostle Paul says the idea of trying to get good out of supporting evil is an already condemned plan. He goes on to say in Ro 5:"1 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means!"

And, BTW, I am leading. You just don't like the direction. It will not be toward either Romney or Obama. You are absolutely correct, I conscientiously object to both of their evil plans for this nation.

I will not vote FOR aborted babies. I will not vote FOR gun control. I will not vote FOR gay couples. I will not vote FOR gay adoption. I will not vote FOR gay boy scouts. I will not vote FOR a gay military. I will not vote FOR Romneycare. I will not vote FOR social crony corporatism. I will not vote for phony "revenue enhancement" and pretend it isn't increasing my taxes. I will not vote for phony budget balancing schemes that take 27 years to come to fruition and cut not one red cent of spending.

Romney voters are voting FOR all of that.

Is that what conservatism has come to?

That, jessup, is CINO: conservative in name only. OR, it is deceived.

Then you might kindly counsel your fellow evangelist SoConPubbie who seems bent on passing religious judgment on FReepers who live in the real world, faced with real world situations which are not perfect and which have no absolutely pure and simple answers as you prefer.

Please do me a favor and ping me if you are referring to me.

Furthermore, our Lord and Savior commanded us to "Be ye perfect as I am perfect".

Some choices are hard in this life.

Some choices leave you standing all by yourself.

But the choice of who you vote for is not hard at all for a Christian.

SImply ask yourself, would Christ be happy by me voting for someone who is actively support the murder of unborn babies?

Would Christ be happy by me voting for someone who is actively supporting a sin, Homosexuality, that he calls an Abomination?

Those two questions alone, take away all the grey area when making that choice.

Furthermore, since you, nor anyone else, can find an example where God, his Prophets, Christ, or his Apostles commanded us to do Evil to do Good, the answer is perfectly clear, from a Conservative CHRISTIAN perspective that is.
