    I guess you approved of your own post so much that you put it up twice!

    Telling people what your political opinions are should not even be a part of evangelism.

    What people? Baptist Believer? I agree with him. I think Hillary poked the bear, the bear went crazy and then she said "Oh look! Bad bear!" She really didn't have to do much to make herself look better. Now had this been a REAL debate with a REAL Republican candidate, it would have been much more interesting and I think Hillary would have been cowering by the end. But a 5 year old could debate Mr. Trump and win.

    A "REAL" republican candidate couldn't have withstood the unprecedented coordinated attacks from the media and the establishment politicians from both parties. They would have folded like a cheap lawn chair and surrendered to the Clinton political machine months ago.

    Outside of this country and with folks who have immigrated to this country, politics gets brought up quite a bit.

    Christians need to vote for the best candidate whoever that may be. Christians are not called to live in a monastery. In the world but not of it (John 17:15-19).

    And hopefully they understand that the important thing is faith in Jesus Christ, not who you decide to vote for.

    I don't see what Jesus' prayer for his disciples has to do with voting.

    Suppose there was a situation where both candidates were pro abortion. You still voting for one of those candidates?

    Suppose candidate A was pro abortion and pro gay marriage.
    Candidate B was pro abortion but was for marriage between one man and one woman. You voting for B?

    In this election, there is none. Not even third party.

    Yes, "in the world, not of it.." If the focus is on that last part, then I agree. I also think that since we call God our Father, and since God will judge impartially according to what we do, how we live our lives, and those things that we choose to support by our actions (e.g., our vote), that we should conduct ourselves in fear during our lifetime knowing that we are purchased with the blood of Christ. We should not so quickly throw our voice behind a candidate because we are "in the world" if we believe the platform immoral.

    I am not saying that it is wrong for a Christian to vote for Donald Trump. I am saying that when we say a Christian should vote for Trump we have traded the gospel for Christ for another gospel all together. Again, Christians need to stop playing politics with their faith.

    Facts are unimportant to Poncho. It's all a grand conspiracy to him. Fortunately he has the insight to see through the schemes.

    Of course it's not. You can't build an argument to communicate with someone if they have a completely different basis of reality.

    Many say the big election situation is the nomination of the Supreme Court Justice - and possibly 2-4 more over the next 4-8 years.
    Well, this if very true.
    But lets keep in mind the 100's of lower court justices as well.......

    What they understand is a bunch of Christians who say they have faith in Christ, but who have aligned themselves with that which is against Christ.

    What they understand is a bunch of Christians who say they have faith in Christ, yet hypocritically support those who are against Him in their desire to "turn the country around".

    Not really sure why so many Christians try to divorce Jesus from their politics until it comes to abortion.
