It can be difficult to vote your Biblical principles when no one on the ballot shows any sign of following them.
Yes, it is very difficult. But it seems that it is nearly always a choice between the lesser of the two evils, without regard to party. I agree with the author of this piece, that we have a responsibility to vote.
It is the world, and we are not OF it, but we are IN it. My vote, at the very least, may slow down the coming of the avalanche, by slowing down evil. No one really knows.
IMO the reasons Obama won the last election is because of voter fraud, voter apathy, and Christians (whether true or in name only) who refused to vote for a Mormon.
Now we have MORE voter fraud because little is done about the ones who are casting illegal ballots. In other words, justice and adherence to our Constitution is nearly absent.
I do not see any solution to our national problem—which is we have turned our back (as a whole) on our Creator, the LORD God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who sent His Son into the world to die for our sins, in our place, taking our sins upon Himself, and shedding His blood to redeem us from the penalty of our sins. He was raised from the dead on the third day, as He said He would be, and He now sits at the right hand of His Father in heaven.
He is coming again to this earth to redeem His remnant of Israel, to judge the nations, and to set up His kingdom in Israel. His saints will be coming with Him when He comes, and they will rule and reign with Him on the earth. He will rule this earth for 1000 years.
At the end of the 1000 years the wicked dead will be raised up for judgment and thrown into the lake of fire, along with the devil and his angels, where they will be forever in torment, separated from God.
A new heaven and a new earth will then be created for all of the Father and the Son’s kingdom.
This time here on earth is but a blink, I guess not even that, in comparison to what lies ahead for His Redeemed.
But this time is when IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEART, repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and a NEW LIFE in Christ. All the things of this world, including the ballots and the voting machines will be burned up.
May God have mercy on our nation and draw hearts back to Him.
John 6:40 - For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him, may have eternal life; and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.
Got a flier today from a candidate for US Senate in Delaware. Carl Smink is running as a Conservative Christian. He is running as a write-in candidate, with no party affiliation. (Disclaimer: he did run in the Republican primary garnering 24% of the vote)
So, at least in Delaware, we have a chance to vote for a conservative with Christian values. I urge all Delaware voters to make the extra effort to write in Mr. Smink’s name.
Right on. You didn't see Daniel bowing down to the statue, did you? You didn't see 1st Century Christians bowing down to the Emperor, did you? This political system is full of idolatry to the 'almighty' State. I'm about done with it.
Jesus isn’t running!!! VOTE REPUBLIACN ALL THE WAY.....WE ARE AT WAR WITH DEMOCRATS FIRST, THEN WE CAN GET RID OF RINOS!
Try. OK? Things have reached the point that if you don't vote, those MOST opposed to Biblical principles will prevail. The Two-Party System requires that a Christian often must choose The Lesser of Two Evils; or cause everyone to suffer a greater evil as a consequence.
There is no "neutral."
Revelation 3:15 - 16:
15: I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16: So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
“It can be difficult to vote your Biblical principles when no one on the ballot shows any sign of following them.”
In many elections; there are CLEAR, stark differences. A few more “imperfect” Republicans could have stopped Obamacare for example.
