The Israelites originally did not have kings. They were ruled directly by God, who provided them with judges to discern the law, disputes among the people, and provide them with God's word. The Israelites sinned and asked for a king to be appointed over them so that they could be ruled by other nations.
Samuel 8:5-7 Saul, a man of "standing" was appointed as the first king of Israel post Exodus from Egypt. So, in a way, they DID elect their king; they just asked Samuel to do it for them (had their representative chose another to lead them; kind of like a one man electoral college). They rejected God in favor of a man, even against warnings.
Speaking of the kings - Jerimiah 8:1-2 At that time, saith the Lord, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
2 And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
How in good conscience could anyone vote for someone that believes they will one day be made even higher than a king, but a god (Mormon Romney)? (let's not forget about that pesky Commandment about not having other gods before the Big Guy)
Or vote for the practitioner of a barbaric religion that follows sharia (Muslim 0bama)?
Both of them reject the true deity of Christ. (Muslims have Him as a prophet and the Mormons have Him as a devout man that became a god.
John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Between 0bama and Romney, which candidate does NOT support -
Baby murder
socialized medicine (which leads to rationing)
restriction of gun rights
fag marriage
The answer is neither, ergo there is no viable choice. Faggotry is an abomination. But, Jesus was sort of lax and rather lenient regarding children -
Matthew 18:5-6 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Or, for the "lesser of two evils crowd" take a look at Genesis 37:12-28
When Joseph, Jacob's favorite son was plotted against by his brothers. They sought to kill him, but one brother convinced the others it would be less evil if they just threw Joseph in a cistern. Then another brother decided it would be lesser evil if they sold Joseph as a slave. Most likely, the Ishmaelites would kill Joseph. Yet, the evil was still in their hearts. They chose the lesser of two evils. And then again chose the lesser of two evils. But, the sin is the same committed in their hearts.
Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Sometimes, a man must discern for himself whether he will be committing a sin against his own covenant with God - Romans 14:2-3 For one believeth that he may eat all things, while another who is weak eateth herbs.
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him that eateth not, judge him that eateth; for God hath received him.
If one can clearly see another as sinful and abominable, not a follower of God how are they foolish in chosing to not follow-
James 14:7 7 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
If you truly believe and hear God telling you that neither is an option for you, as some other posters have stated (myself included on other threads); I would go ahead and recommend not going about your own course. God doesn't have an (R) after his name and cares not for affiliations you put before HIM.
If you cannot vote for either man in good consciousness, it is perfectly justifiable to vote for neither -
We can be in the world, but not of it.
John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
This is the lesser of two evils argument - Option A: eternal damnation in a lake of fire.
Option B: Cast into darkness with wailing and gnashing of teeth.
