So one has to put aside the religious affiliation/aspect for the purposes of an election. There is separation of church and state. Yes, as believers we acknowledge true from false religion. However, we need to use wisdom and vote for the one who will most likely reflect the values that we uphold as Christians such as protection of the innocent and justice for all. From a Christian standpoint, both would be unacceptable, but we cannot compare apples to oranges.

We have to face the fact that we live in the world, but we are citizens of heaven. We are pilgrims passing through. It is not the place of the Church to run the government. The Church needs to be the Church. But sadly, the Church has become so laden down with leaven and invaded by wolves that it has ceased to be salt and light. As believers we have been given freedoms and one of them is to vote. we have to ask God’s guidance as to which person will best allow us to preserve the freedom too share the Gospel and reach the lost. If we fail to exercise our right to vote I believe we are squandering one of our God-given rights.

That is just my opinion and the way I see it. I respect that others may disagree, but it should be based on sound reasoning.

Anyhow.. what I want to say to you Redeemed is about our discussion. The thing is, Romney is a Mormon, but his sidekick, Ryan, he is Catholic. So I do not see how either side is actually better than the other?

Alf, exactly what DO you believe?

Apparently you consider exposing doctrines of demons as bashing?

I would be interested in your response.

Alf

Alf, you are false teacher of biblical proportions. You preach a false twisted gospel, you are a Roman PAGAN Catholic, and you hate Jews – I think you are the one that has the problem.

The motivation behind his assassination is still not clear and even the circumstances surrounding it are still under debate and speculation. There are various theories and the conspiracy theorists have a heyday. It may be true and then again it may be partially true and then again, it may not be true at all. The whole truth rarely if ever comes out in these types of events and one must recognize that and let it rest.

The fact remains that there IS a clear choice in this election. Romney is not the white knight charging in to rescue, but he is the better choice and will at least slow down the tide of corruption and the landslide into the moral morass. As believers we have a moral responsiblity to vote for the one who will protect life rather than destroy it and protect the family rather than destroy it. The election is not about choosing a pastor or a spirtual leader, it is living in a secular society under a secular government and making the best choice under the situation while we are on this earth. We can speak out against Mormonism and expose it without getting personal. But has the Church done it’s job? The Mormons have effectively stolen sheep from every denomination because the sheep were not armed with the truth of the Word. Whose fault is that?

But most importantly, Christians cannot blame secular society for the ills we see escalating. The Church has failed to be the salt and light it was meant to be.

Redeemed

Thanks for that comment. And I agree, it’s better the devil you know than the one you don’t really know (so to say) when it comes to politics because they are ALL downright nasty.

Saying America was found by Christians and is a Christian nation is about as nuts as saying South Africa was founded by Christians and is a Christian country.
