    So just how far are you willing to go to uphold your self-righteous proclamations against my proclamations?

    That would be unBiblical. I am to abide by the laws of the land if they do not conflict with God's law. There is no law of the land that says I must vote for that which is against Christ.


    Is there a Biblical law that says using such products is against Christ?

    I think Romney is more aligned with the forces seeking to make American clergy dependent upon government handouts.

    Neither.....they are both militaristic, both are tied to Banksters, both have been caught demeaning Americans. Both have pushed thru unconstitutional health care systems on the citizenry. Perhaps they are halves of one whole. Ive made up my mind, I will not & cannot in good conscience vote for either.

    Yes.
    Yes.
    Speak for yourself. If that is a description of your spiritual condition you should do something to change it. If you are claiming you are more spiritual than the rest of us might I remind you of Romans 14:4, "Who are you to judge the servant of another?" Self righteousness is a terrible sin.

    Yes, God calls evil evil. And God also uses evil men to accomplish His purposes. Yes, all members of the body of Christ, should be lifting their voices in prayer. And, while looking for His return, also be prepared for His return and His judgement.

    Right now, I don't see Jesus approving/voting for any man, within the context of this thread. God, the Son, isn't making a choice as to who will lead HIM. Instead, He is waiting for sinful men to join HIS church. Prior to establishing His Kingdom, His rulership on earth, He is watching to see what we do with what we have, no matter how small the amount may be. Whether 7 pennies or 1 vote. Each of us will have to give an accounting to Him. Did we invest wisely or did we bury what we were given in the ground for safe keeping until His return? Or, did we cast it in the weeds and thorns where there was no hope of a fruitful harvest?

    If you don't vote for either of them, you are not canceling out the vote of someone who did.

    If Zaac votes for Obama and I vote for Romney the net effect is zero.

    If Zaac votes for Obama and I don't vote, the net effect is Obama 1.

    If Zaac votes for Obama and I vote 3rd party, the net effect is Obama 1 more than Romney.

    Choosing not to vote or to vote 3rd party is indeed voting, in essence, by proxy for Obama.

    Burying the vote we were given to invest or planting where there's no hope of a harvest, regardless of how meager the return on investment may be. When we stand before Him, He will judge everything in our lives, including how we chose to invest the ONE vote that we were given for the 2012 presidential election.

    My one vote isn't much to invest and there isn't a lot of potential for a good return on the investment. However, if my one vote can help prevent ONE baby from being murdered in the womb I'm ready to accept whatever my Saviour's judgement may be when I stand before Him. I already have too much to account to Him for in my life. I can't add the killing of a baby to the list, when there was even a very small, tiny, remote, possibility that I could have helped stop that single death.

    Each must choose. Each must make their own decision about the path they take. Each must don the armour of the Lord and take their stand.

    In this case I cannot vote for Obama directly or indirectly. When compared to facing my Saviour, the judgements of other men will matter little. Only His judgement makes a difference in my eternity with Him. I long to hear Him say:

    Matthew 25: KJB
    21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

    I am guilty of a lot of things but complaceny is not one of them. I will not repeat the often repeated story about the Constitution Party and the national convention and the grass roots work at home.

    Fail! You don't read the scriptures to see that God can use lost people to get the job done? Would you care who it was that pushed the button to slow or stop the baby murder machine? Obama will put oil in the machine and Romney will probably be passive but not seek to oil it further. More concerned over Big Bird?

    Amen!:applause: After seeing the way they are so buddy buddy with each other after the debates, i'm convinced more than ever that the powers that be in both parties are in cahoots and don't give a flying hoot about anything except power and money.

    Did I say He couldn't use lost people? Where's the Biblical example of God directing His people to elevate that which worships a false god?

    ?

    And I ask again, because so many keep talking about abortion, abortion, abortion. why is no one talking about this man worshiping a false god?

    That's a big probably. God deals in absolutes. And both are absolutely anti-Christs and neither will get my vote.

    Where? Where has someone proven that he will do something that hasn't happened yet?

    you haven't seen me claim anything. But let me claim that yall certainly do like to bandy around that self-righteous word. The liberals say the same thing about conservatives.

    Why? Because I don't fall in line to support the candidate you support? <PA deleted - LE>

    Little wonder that you have trouble playing nicely here. You don't know the difference between buddy buddy and politeness.

    I don't know about Romney, but to anyone with reasonable vision it's obvious that Obama has a personal dislike of both Romney and Ryan that goes beyond political rivalry. Watch the body language.
