Imperfect Candidates and the Christian Vote
Gary Kelly
October 31, 2012
Would you have fought against tyranny in 1776? Was not declaring independence
from tyranny, “Biblically-based?” Read the grievances in the Declaration and see
how many are again prevalent today.
I am disturbed by how a Christian could consider allowing the Obamanation to
continue! Will we be better off with Romney or Obama? Until someone is on the
ballot that meets all Biblically-based requirements are not Christians committed
to working and voting against the most evil choice? Are not Christians to
continue to spiritually and politically confront unrighteousness and challenge
Christian complacency? This is not the same America when candidates were
Christians and most voters were Christians.
As I’m visiting grandchildren, does it not give credence and appreciation for
vehemently opposing the reelection of a Marxist? We have been given a choice
between Obama and Romney as a result of the complacency of Christians. As a
citizen of both the Kingdom of God and the United States can a Christian justify
encouraging me to not vote for Romney, which I contend is the same as a vote for
Obama? Was King David perfect? Under which President will more babies be
aborted? Under which President will progressive politically correct Marxism gain
more momentum? Can I count on Christians to explain to my children and
grandchildren that Election 2012 is a “test” and not a step in reversing the
damage Obama and his Democrat/Marxists/RINOs have perpetrated on this REPUBLIC
the last 4 years. Until "Christians" elect men of Biblical moral virtue then as
Christians we will always fail the “test.”
Charles Finney wrote: "The time has come for Christians to vote for honest men,
and take consistent ground in politics or the Lord will curse them...Politics
are a part of a religion in such a country as this, and Christians must do their
duty to their country as a part of their duty to God." ..."God will bless or
curse this nation according to the course Christians take in politics."
Jesus is the King of the Kingdom of God and not running for President (and
neither is Allen West). Therefore, since the only One Who is perfect is not
running, than someone who is imperfect must be. Plus, how many candidates, even
Christian, will satisfy all Christians? Christian voters must decide, in this
present day climate of prevalent progressive left-wing culture which candidates
are likely to do less harm to the Republic and adhere more to Biblical
Righteousness.
Yes it is disturbing we have to choose between a Marxist and a RINO. Christians
in Marxachusetts consistently have to choose between Marxists or RINOs, as we
did when Romney ran for Governor and Brown for Senator. Yes I am beside myself
with Romney after he did NOTHING and to uphold the Massachusetts Constitution
and prevent same-sex marriage from being made in court and again when he
violated the liberty that comes from God with Romneycare.
However, it took decades to denigrate into this moral decline and America will
not be restored overnight as Christians sit on the sidelines refusing to
confront “politics and religion,” as the Marxist media continues to deceive
complacent American voters. As long as preachers only preach John 3:16 and not
what Jesus said in the same breath through verse 21, or 1 Timothy 2 and not 2
Timothy 4 as well America will continue to decline.
"A vote is like a rifle: its usefulness depends upon the character of the user."
Theodore Roosevelt
