” Electing someone with a record of everything antithetical to my faith and Conservative principles IS NOT reflecting Christ. It’s surrendering to this evil world and it’s standards and values. “
I see how you arrived at your conclusion. You see faith as black & white, but leave out fallible, innately sinful acts
done by the human species. Strict adherence to your principles(at least as you have outlined them) would seem to necessarily preclude your ability to vote for anyone.
My minister once asked our congregation the following....
If you were harboring a dozen Jewish kids in your basement, and two of Hitlers legmen knocked on your door, and asked you if you were hiding any Jews, would you tell the truth,and turn them in?
If your choice is to vote for an admittedly sinful, flawed politician, in order to remove one you believe to be tantamount to a disciple of satan, would you vote for the lesser evil to remove the satanic politician?
Your steadfastness regarding christian principles is laudable. I just don’t see how you survived in this world
completely insulating yourself from human sinfulness. Jesus spent an inordinate amount of time with sinners.
There’s a BIG difference in teaching a sinner to walk in the way of righteousness, and enabling them to continue sinning.
Because we’re all flawed, you somehow have arrived at the conclusion that Conservative Christians must support an opportunist politician whose POLICIES on record promoted killing babies in the womb, homosexuality and denying Constitutional rights, so that we can supposedly STOP a Marxist.
In short, your argument is a non-sequitor. This isn’t about breaking the law to hide Jews to keep them from being exterminated, this is about willfully supporting a politician whose policies on record are antithetical to my faith and principles.
Like I said - YOU may be able to compartmentalize your faith and put God in a box so you can justify compromising your principles - but I won’t. Not any more.
We are in this mess with a debased culture and a Marxist ruling us PRECISELY because Conservative Christians have been doing the same thing you advocate we do now; compromise our faith and principles to support the lesser of two evils.
We keep getting moved Left - until Conservatism itself will become extinct. As it is - the choice between a Democrat Socialist and an overt Marxist is a pretty good indication of exactly what I’m warning about.
I’m not going to contribute to that any more.
