Let us say I need to hire a plumber as my pipes are burst and the house if flooding.

But I read in the Bible and learn the righteousness of all men (except for Jesus Christ) is but filthy rags.

If I refuse to hire a plumber to fix the pipes based on the idea of given a choice between two evils choose neither, than I guess I should not fix them myself because my own righteousness is like filthy rags. Nor should I let anyone fix them, and just let the house flood and pray that Jesus come back early and fix them.

If this is my approach, then I deserve to have my house flooded.

Instead, let us say I decide that I will hire a plumber who is a sinner and have a choice:

Choice A) Thinks the pipes are fine, and was the assistant to my previous plumber who broke the pipes while telling me the pipes are just fine. An email record shows that this plumber has sold my pipes for personal profit, though they have lied about their guilt and insist that there is not water in the house and its all good.

Choice B) Is somebody who curses and swears about how awful the previous plumber and the whole company of crappy plumbers have messed up my house and has promised to make it a great house again. But the news media gives him bad press for swearing too much and seems to hate him irrationally, as do the dishonest plumbers and they are always slandering him...claiming he paints such a dark picture of everything, and there really is not plumbing issue and he is just a crank.

Whatever should I do?

My example is the three greatest kings of ancient Israel.

David: Polygamist and adulterer, had a man killed, didn’t really punish a son for raping his 1/2 sister.

Solomon: Polygamist and adulterer, did not follow God completely but worshiped the gods of his foreign wives

Hezekiah: Polygamist and exhibited the sin of pride, hung out with pagan kings did not completely abolish the idolatry on the high places

Yet these are men the Bible praises as “Good Kings” So would people today refuse to vote for David or Solomon?

Face the facts that Hitler-y Clinton & Billious Clinton
getting their grubby paws on that position ever again is
ABSURD. Also, a THIRD TERM of Hussein Obama is NUTTY.
I will risk TRUMP. And me not voting isn’t an option.
