‘Vote your conscience’

I did. I voted for the man who wouldn't mind Jesus being Lord at his rallies.

I'm in the middle of a podcast that our pastor just did about the election. A Q&A type thing. He lead off with some general points, first off was that we (as Christians) should vote for those that will further the Kingdom of Heaven, and/or restrict Satan. His second priority was to protect children and families.

He teaches and believes that at conception a baby is a human with a soul and that abortion is murder. One of the questions was about single-issue voting (he doesn't think that is reasonable). BUT - some policies should rank higher in one's decisions. He noted that the democrats have made this a single-issue election around abortion.

Every speech at the DNC mentioned abortion rights. Every stump speech afterwards has mentioned abortion.

So far his discussion favors the Republican policies and based on his preaching it will continue to do so - without him ever stating his preference for candidate. I doubt he will say it in this podcast either, but the inference is there.

Q: “How can I vote for either candidate? Both have terrible morals.”

A: “They both have done things. Trump cheating on his wives, vulgar talk. Harris in bed with a married man to get her start in politics. I think it is more important to focus on their policies.”

He said at another church their was a guy thinking about becoming a Christian that had been high up on a state level helping Obama back in the day. After going to the church numerous times the guy said “So what I'm hearing from your sermons is that I need to become a Republican if I want to be a Christian?” The pastor said no - of course not. But becoming a Christian will change your world view. (He didn't say if the guy became a Christian - or a Republican.)

I will be interested to see what he says about illegal immigrants. I think I know the answer, but we'll see. I was reading about the Pope and I guess in some Catholic teaching it talks about how immigrants should follow the laws of the country that they are in. That would be my line as well. And if you came in illegally, you aren’t following the law.
