Hi I appreciate your faith in God, but I am always careful of how others interpret scripture....Didn't Jesus also say render unto Cesar's that which is his, as an American I have the privilege of voting. Since Jesus is not on the ballot I can only do the best I can to have a say in how the country I live in is governed..If you believe Jesus is getting ready for his return (an I find things according to Revelation traveling faster toward us than ever before, but I don't think Jesus said, when given a chance to vote for those who govern you, don't do it....The world will go according to God's will, and I find no laws against voting and caring for the type of country my grandchildren will live in..... At my age I will not be here when the Antichrist is in power,but my family will...warn the family on the mark of the beast, stay fast with Jesus and have a say in who you allow to govern you....

There are a few things in your response I find confusing but thats aOK. Some days I find my life confusing...:O)

At the risk of upsetting you, I am not a big follower of Paul...He called himself a apostle, but God called him an instrument to the gentiles. The 12 apostles preached only to the Jews, and there were 12 before Saul got knocked off his horse...and became Paul.....

And as scripture states what the qualifications are to be considered and apostle, the lot fell to Matthias to fill Judas spot of having 12. Paul does not have the credential to call himself an apostle...

One of my son's and I have been arguing this point for years, but we have fun bouncing off each other on scripture..

I am very careful of who I call God's chosen, and even Jesus warned that many who think they will be in, will be out in the end...I personally believe God has his people in every religion, they don't know it but they will be brothers and sisters to Christ...Bible also says you will know them by their fruits (I find the manifest fruits of mormons better not worse than fruits of others that call Christ their lord and God....Billy Graham gave his full approval to Romney and from what I have read has taken off their Home page that mormons are a cult....Its like you say Potato and I say Pototo...Hope you have a great weekend...GG

Granny the LORD Jesus Christ was talking about taxes not voting...

Search the Bible scriptures and see if you can find a verse where He told us to align ourselves and agree with those who run to shed innocent blood

or those who agree with the unnatural affections of one man with another..
