I’m not sure why it is so difficult for people to understand that votes not cast do provide positive support for Obozo.
Many valuable principles were brought to the Light of Day, by the teachings of the Master Jesus Christ, and his Apostles. For example, St. Paul said, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Indeed, the “rulers of darkness of this world” a very important principle.
We see how the forces of darkness can manipulate large groups of people, in this case, Romney supporters, by the energy of blind hatred, in the pursuit of an agenda that trashes the Will of God, in a manner no less egregious than we see in the policies supported by Obama. Romney supporters in this regard are like leaves on a strong current, having become completely unanchored to principle, and having no inherent power in their own souls to swim against the tide. As the current pulls them along, they are trapped in the most self-destructive response patterns as well. As people tell them they are being swept in the direction of destruction, all they do is raise their middle finger into your face.
The teaching of the Master from Luke 6:46-49 is especially instructive in this regard: 46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
The Master was speaking to this situation exactly, where people, having lost their anchor to the principles expounded by Jesus Christ, are lifted up and swept away in the strong currents of hatred that the “rulers of darkness of this world” send in their direction as a mighty storm.
Of course, in evaluating this teaching, if it is to make any sense, one must bring to mind something that Jesus Christ said, in terms of admonishment, which would be applicable in this situation. For example, the teaching the Master gave in Matthew 22:37-40, might be the single most important place to begin: 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Here the Master Jesus Christ is giving us the key to what it means to be anchored to the rock of which he spoke. To love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
And what does it mean to have such a love?
The fullness of this love is far from any of us, I must admit. But there are portions of the soul that have been set free in many that allow the posture of simple respect to take hold.. We can say, to love/respect God, means to love/respect his purposes. To love/respect God means to love/respect his laws. To have such a love/respect means to have His purposes, and his Laws at the center of our attention. This is a characteristic of love/respect. That which you love/respect is always at the center of your attention. And when we have these things at the center of our attention, we know and understand that obedience before God’s Laws is required before we can receive the blessings of Divine Providence.
That is the most important point when it comes to the survival of America.
To vote for an individual who has rebellion against the Laws of God in his heart, such an act of support, for a rebellious heart, will result in the further cutoff of the resources of Divine Providence for our nation, and indeed, it will come to pass as the Master promised, “the ruin of that house was great.”
The most simple application of the Teachings of Christ tell us clearly, that to vote for Romney is to vote for ruin.
And in this way are the “rulers of darkness of this world” tempting the Children of God to leave the rock, and flow in the direction of this blind hatred for Obama. And this is a powerful temptation because none of us have any degree of appreciation for Obama's leadership in our souls. But the temptation this time around is too blatant. Too obvious. Obama and Romney are one heart when it comes to rebellion against God.
We see therefore, that the wave to support Romney is really a strategy of the “rulers of darkness of this world” to divide the Republican Party to such an extent, where the re-election of Obama will be assured.
The conscience of a Christian will never allow a vote for Romney. A vote for Romney requires us to turn our back on the clear teachings of Christ above. Yes, to go in the direction where we know the end from the beginning, and the ruin of that house was great.”
Perhaps America has followed this downward path, where we currently teeter on the very edge of an economic abyss for this very reason, that we have fallen for this temptation time and time again over the last 50 years.
Yes, Romney is Just a Pawn in the Divide and Conquer Tactics of the Dark Side. A pawn moved into position in a relentless manner, and played at a point in the game where checkmate appears to be a certainty. Yet we have more moves left to us. The game is not over.
The only hope for the Republican Party to win in this election cycle is to come up with a candidate that does not require us to turn our back on the Teachings of Christ to win.
