Sins of Omission “aka God's blind spot”, are still sins. Lie to yourselves all you wish, you cannot lie to God.

Romney or Obama will be President. Not voting for Romney means you are voting for Obama by omission. Dress it up all you wish, you can answer to God for your sins.

Romney has stated he will rescind Barack Obama’s executive order authorizing US taxpayer fund to pay for overseas abortions.

But that single act alone a Romney Presidency will reduce the numbers of abortions.

There is NO other rational vote for any truly Christian voter. Your inaction empowers evil while your action would oppose it. Moral cowardice, not matter how carefully hidden in a fake gloss of morality, is till cowardice

I believe that you should pick your favorite candidates, support them and vote for them on election day. If you do that, you will have done all that you can do as a human being. If Romney is your choice for president, go for it and stand proud.

We may disagree on this point, but I believe that God will play a role in these elections. We won't have to wait much longer for God to reveal His will.

Those of us who are willing to accept God's will and to defer to His judgment will do fine. Those who choose to resist God's will or to criticize God will be choosing a more difficult path.

Trust God. He does know what's best.

Sins of omissions are still sins. By your action evil may prosper. You can explain yourself to God one day, however you will no longer be able to claim you were unaware of what you were doing.

I’m not a Christian, but my morals coincide with Christians. I do believe Romney will be a plus for Christian beliefs. I want a moral, earnest, grown-up man for president again.

Yup, I’ll choose my own path and God will punish me alone if he sees fit.

BTW my original comment about God’s “blind spot” had to do with those who were attacking Romney for his religion 6 months ago but now call others bigots for not liking Romney.

Its gotten to be awfully hard to tell the difference between FReepers and DUmmies when it comes to this stuff.

I going to answer for all of us who are receiving your lecture.

Lie to yourselves all you wish, you cannot lie to God.

Fortunately for us, God can read our motives far better than you can.

Not voting for Romney means you are voting for Obama by omission. Dress it up all you wish, you can answer to God for your sins.

Fortunately for us, God is much better at logic than you are. Fortunately for us, God defines sin, you don't.

Romney has stated he will rescind Barack Obama’s executive order authorizing US taxpayer fund to pay for overseas abortions.

That would be outstanding provided he actually does it. Anyone who knows Mitt Romney's political history is rightfully skeptical of anything he says. He worked hard to earn his flip-flopping reputation.

Moral cowardice, not matter how carefully hidden in a fake gloss of morality, is till cowardice

You made this cowardice accusation before. I'm convinced that you don't understand the meaning of the word cowardice, just like you don't understand standing on principle.

Do not judge my heart, you do not know my heart.
Stop mind reading.
To say that if I do not vote for Romney I am not a true Christian is not only stupid it is unBiblical.
You do not have the authority to judge my heart.
And not only did you ignore that I live in California you judged my heart.........be gone.
I really disl........OH, never mind.

Romney has achieved the status of God that they say Mormons believe (I don’t know or care if they believe it or not)

Just today a FReeper announced that “The light of freedom shines from his eyes”. LOL

I’m really glad I don’t have to answer for my vote to the likes of you.

Don’t bother responding to me. Or pinging me, for that matter.

Its in this thread.

I personally have never had any issues with mormons. When they start exploding on buses and cutting off heads I’ll worry but for now they’re just an odd sect.

I understand voting for Romney as a means of getting rid of Obama but these clowns are demanding that all build him up into the next coming of Reagan when we all know its a lie. That’s behaving exactly like democrats and will come to no good end.

Actually, I speak to God quite regularly. I prefer to believe that He hears me and that He knows what I will do before I know what I will do. I believe that if it is His will that I vote for Romney, He will make His will known to me.

I don’t think you or I should try to speak for God. Please be patient. God’s will shall be revealed soon enough.
