I fail to see the problem with relating His Word to real-life situations. Do you doubt the insinuation that Jesus might lean more toward a man of faith vs. a man of sham-faith? As a Christian, I am made to understand that it is my DUTY to fight evil on every front. I happen to believ that Kerry is more closely aligned with evil than with God; if a minister doesn';t feel this way, he shouldn't be a minister.
I'm not going to make the same mistake these ministers make - namely claiming to KNOW what Jesus would do. I'll simply repeat an applicable line from the NT - Render unto Cesar what is Cesar and render unto God, what is God's.
If Jesus was an American in our day and age, yes I believe he'd vote for the candidate who holds Godly principles.
My wife and I were discussing this last night, and I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. My position is that Jesus wouldn't be too concerned with politics, that saving souls is more important to him than lowering taxes. Nonetheless, I believe that the War on Terror and Bush's role in it is God's will. I believe for the Islamofascists this is clearly a religious war. Do you think Bush is "an agent of God" or is he merely a man trying to do God's will? Any thoughts?
