Romney Loss - Evangelicals "Again" Stayed Home

IFB ^ | 11/7/12

[The Ignorant Fisherman]

Many of us could not imagine that Romney could lose this election, especially after four years of Obama’s radical Marxism and its social and fiscal consequences that America will NEVER recover from. All the hype and all the Romney rallies; it indeed looked like a sure victory for Romney except for one equation, the Evangelical vote. We here at the IFB have talked back and forth among ourselves since the RNC convention and with others also in the know; that if the Evangelical vote did not show up on Nov. 6th the jig would be up and Romney would lose big… and indeed he has.

Remember, the GOP and Romney gave NO place to the Evangelical vote at the RNC convention. They outright snubbed us and that act rubbed Evangelicals the wrong way.

Remember, the GOP and Romney gave NO place to the Evangelical vote at the RNC convention. They outright snubbed us and that act rubbed Evangelicals the wrong way. The Evangelical vote consists of the TRUE social and moral conservatives of the party (i.e., the Right). Romney and the GOP also gave very little time to the Tea Party who is the heart of the grass root movement and the engine of the Party! The viewer ratings for the 2012 RNC convention were way down, some 40% and many of us- including myself - did not watch one lick of it. Why should we have? We knew what we were getting and many of us felt “diss’d” being left out as we were. That in its self should have set off warning bells to the RNC but in all honesty many of us who are Evangelicals were still going to vote for Romney holding our nose. It is our duty as Believers and an Americans to be salt and light (Matt. 5:13-16) and even though Romney was who he was; he was the better choice still and the lesser of the two evils for our nation. We were not going to trust in a Romney win but that a Romney win would slow down the final deterioration of our nation.

Many Evangelicals who voted for Bush in 2000 and in 2004 felt betrayed by his agreeing with and passing many of the Marxist policies of the progressive Left. To this day it still has left a bad taste in our mouth and many have NOT forgotten it. Evangelicals felt betrayed and many did not vote for McCain in 2008 which gave Marxist Obama the victory. When you add the convention snub of Romney and the GOP that was the straw that broke the elephants back.

Now we come to today, the day after the election and we once more again see that the Evangelical vote has stayed home; and in doing so have given Obama another four years to finish the job of transforming our nation and fundamentally changing our culture and way of life which includes the elimination of sound biblical Christianity. I know I am going to get a ton of hate mail for this statement, but SHAME ON YOU for sitting home and not choosing to be light and exercising your God given right to vote (Matt. 5:13-16)! I know all sides of this argument and there is still absolutely NO excuse (Matt. 5:13-16). Your self righteous pride, biblical ignorance and foolishness has open wide the door now for Christian persecution in our nation and the end of the freedoms we have for the furtherance of the Gospel. My friends, indeed the Day of the Lord is at hand, but WOE to any who seek to bring it about who call on the Name of Jesus Christ by being idol and slothful.This is NOT a sanctification matter and God will hold you accountable for hiding your light and voice.

In the end, this 2012 election has revealed without a shadow of a doubt that the Evangelical element has lost its salt and light and that America has absolutely no problem in FULL LIGHT re-electing a radical progressive secular Marxists to reign over us.

I think of Samuel when all of Israel wanted a king and not the Lord (1 Sam. 8). It broke his heart and rightly so! He knew what was coming. Thus America in this election has said quite loudly that we DO NOT want the God given freedom to exercise what our Founding Fathers envisioned, which was based on the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. In doing so we have REJECTED the Judeo/ Christian values and ideals which once made this country great. We have now as a nation fully taken on the mantle of Lawlessness and the spirit of Anti Christ as our nation’s ideology and culture.

Indeed, we as Evangelicals will now see what we must surely endure under lawless administration of Barack H. Obama and many Evangelicasl will be sifted and found wanting. That there... you can take to the bank!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Good to hear. We just have to keep on keeping on and fighting the good fight...

Ephesians 6:12 -

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

[Will88]

How has it been determined that evangelicals stayed home, this soon? Romney sure won the most conservative states with the highest number of evangelicals.

[Springfield Reformer]

Painting with rather a broad brush, FRiend. I voted for the only person in the race I could (Virgil Goode). I did not sit at home. But I could not vote for an antichrist in any form, whether Marxist or Mormon. I am sad that God is asking us to endure four more years of Marxist misery, but delighted he has withheld us from a greater evil, the mainstreaminging of a soul destroying cult, whose damage isn’t measured in election cycles lost or even decades lost, but in eternities lost.

If you still object, consider Romans 12. Say you are the “liberated” Christian, absolutely confident it would not be sin for you to empower a man who sees himself as being a god in embryonic form. Fine. Your choice. What about those of us who cannot get past that, who find 2 john 1:9-11 compelling evidence that we should offer no support whatsoever to anyone who brings an antichrist gospel, which Mormonism clearly does? Would you have us destroy our consciences for your benefit? What was Paul’s position on meat offered to idols? While the world stood, he would not destroy his fellow believer over his own sense of freedom.

So while I do not expect essentially secular conservatives to ever understand or forgive us dissenters, I expect better things of those who make their fame from their commitment to the Gospel. You of all people should know that our being salt and light is simply a side effect of being faithful to Christ. We have no preservative effect in the world, no power of illumination, if we lose our ability to trust God and do what is right, no matter what. Those who have died to preserve our liberty have not died in vain, unless and until we stop using our freedom for good, for truth, and for the Gospel of salvation.

Peace,

SR

I don’t think that an evangelical should feel that this loss was upon his shoulders. The GOP was not courting conservative votes in this election. They were courting independents with a left center policy, not knowing that there was already a candidate running with a far left policy that everyone already knew about.

We as a nation got what we deserve. The GOP just happened to really get what they deserved. I wonder whose “turn” it is next time.

Bingo. You hit the nail on the head.

[arjay]

AMEN! Stupidity is never a virtue.i

[Hound of the Baskervilles]

Mormonism is a benign religious denomination. The description of it as a cult is religious superstition and fear run amuck. Who cares if Mormonism becomes mainstream? I could not care less! Mormons are moral people and good citizens. I do not give a fig if they are not “true Christians.” Some Evangelicals are such religious fanatics they think they are Gods CHOSEN and everyone else is unclean, demonic and damned. This blending of superstition and arrogance is just disgusting to me.

[Ann Archy]

To all the people that voted FOR Obamaor STAYED HOME...WOE to you.

[mak5]

The Goode/Johnson votes made the difference in Virginia, Florida and Ohio. Thanks for helping to reelect Obama.

[Ann Archy]

THANKS for hastening the decline of America! A vote for Virgil Goode??? OMG!! I guess you feel so GODLY!

[gitmo]

If Jesus wasn’t real and if the stakes weren’t so high I would agree with you.

Romney won most states, but lost via the electoral votes, which overall or possibly all came from the least evangelical states, these being mostly Catholic or among the least religious. Where the evangelical gospel was received a hundred years ago still bears fruit. Compare Fox news state by state voting here, with chart of states per evangelical voting (and past voting as a whole) here In the days to come I think more stats will bear this out. Only so-called black "evangelicals" vote more for Obama, as race and victim-entitlement mentality (which is from Hell:Is. 14; Gn. 3) trumps faith. Also

You have believed the lies of Satan - and blew our last chnace of turning this nation around - we will not make it to 2016.

I’m an Evangelical and know the Bible inside and out - do you not think that God could use an unbeliever like Mitt Romney to do His work here? If that is what you think then YOU don’t know your Bible and shame on you.

- - - - - - -

What lies of Satan would those be? Mitt’s liberal record? Nope that’s a fact. Mitt’s heretical and BLASPHEMOUS theology? Nope that’s a fact, too. I used to be Mormon.

I can ask you the same thing, God used pagans to break Isreal and get them to repent. Why can’t God use Obama the same way? If you think that you don’t know the Bible as well as you think and I can pretty much bet I know it better than you.

Your comment that this was the last chance to turn this nation around shows a lack of faith in God on your part.

Trust God even in trials. I COULD not be a hypocrite and vote for either Mitt or Obama. I took it to God in prayer and believe I did what was right and in line with my Christian faith. Shame on your for criticizing that.

[GlockThe Vote]

Screw the “Evangelicals” F em all. Ban me for all i care. Anyone who stayed home in 2012 to give obama four years is a piece of S$%.

[Ann Archy]

I’m surprised you didn’t vote for Jesus then!! You’ve got NOTHING Reaganesque about you...he had common sense and brains!

[daniel1212]

The GOP-e thinks Evangelicals are dumb hicks, but they surely can’t win when even a fraction of that base stays home. Perhaps they should reconsider making Evangelicals sit at the back of the bus and then expecting them to show up at the polls.

True, they keep them at arm's length, and also tend to end up doing what the Dems did a few years ago.

[Hound of the Baskervilles]

Who the hell is Virgil Goode???

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

I didn’t stay home... I was working the polls as an officer of election....sent my vote in absentee

[reaganaut]

thx for obammey..thx very much...

children will be murdered, women raped, towns destroyed, perhaps widespread famine, riots, Israel destroyed, and then please go tell God you did it in HIS name?.......

you will be judged and not pleasantly, for your arrogance and your fake self righteousness..

- - - - -
Don’t blame me, blame the GOP elite. We have an electoral college, not a popular vote, my vote didn’t swing my state (red state).

And really, all those things would have happened under Romney too.

God will judge me but not for this. You are the one who is arrogant and self righteous. I’m following my Christian faith and not compromising. You however seem to be rolling over for an abortion loving, gay marriage loving, gun grabbing statist (to quote Boss man). I didn’t.

[KeyLargo]

“To all the people that voted FOR Obamaor STAYED HOME...WOE to you.”

And woe to all of us because of the Anti-Morman vote.

Evangelical anti-Mormonism: A guide for Jews

Posted by Mark Paredes

It is my hope that Evangelical leaders will eventually choose to shut down the anti-Mormon industry and devote themselves to the exclusive preaching of their faith. Until they do, they’re not going to get any applause from me for their occasional praise of individual Mormons’ virtues. If I had to choose today between having Romney win with the support of pastors who think he belongs to a non-Christian cult, or having Obama win without it, I would toss a coin.

“My pastor got up the Sunday before the election day and did a sermon on how Mormanism is a cult. I am leaving this church as I think electing a Muslim is a worse sin. I was appalled”

I was wondering if this article was true until I read your comment.

Thank you for leaving that Church. I’m sure you will find a better one. Maybe someone needs to tell your old pastor that Obama thinks “the Muslim call to prayer is the most beautiful sound in the world.”

I think Mormonism is a cult, but Muslim is a much scarier and evil cult and if Obama isn’t an outright member, he is a Muslim sympathizer and supporter.
