2. Huckabee was called of Christ to preach the gospel as a minister of the word. He forsook this office to become a politician. “Luke 9:62 “ And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his had to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

So what? (You've consigned Huckabee to hell?)

Jesus words are to be taken seriously. He is after all the one who will judge the issue you mention, not me.

My point is that he does not meet the standard of a sound committed evangelical, which standard is important to one who takes the bible seriously. He is portrayed as a great evangelical. In many ways, of which the text I pointed out is one, he fails to meet the biblical test. You disagree with that, fine. it is ultimately the Lord's to judge.

But the argument from his Christianity as a reason to vote for him, and he not just the media makes it an element of his campaign, makes it also both a political issue and a matter which one may question.
