All these so called Christian leaders are being exposed by this election. Even a child could tell you that Trump is a bad person to put your support behind. But for these leaders to use the weak excuse of "we are all sinners, there is no perfect candidate" shows these people care more for comfort and security than for the Word of God. They have compromised themselves by making excuses to vote for this man. He is a prideful unrepentant sinner who boast about not asking for forgiveness. The same kind of pride that caused God to strike dead King Herod. God is going to give this country exactly what it is a asking for and that is scary.
I'm taking this story with a grain of salt and caution. When the story first broke, it was said that he was removed because he was not allowed on base due to disciplinary reasons. Yes a person can have clean record but not be allowed on base due to previous actions. Now the story is claiming it was because he mentioned God??? Christians need to be careful with these kinds of stories. There is a legitimate effort to divide and destroy this country from the inside out (Trojan war). Don't jump on these stories when you here them without first veting them. Is there a paper trail or audio recording stating that was the reason??? There is a paper trail showing the CO denied him from coming to the retirement ceremony (not flag folding) but he came anyway.
It's really sad to see so many "so called" Christians place their hope and confidence behind Donald Trump, a man who admitingly said he doesn't need to ask for forgiveness. Why are we so surprised that these leaders are doing these things and going after this wickedness??? This country is over due for the judgment of God. And a part of his judgment can be seen in the leaders he had given us. Donald Trump and the current president are the leaders we deserve after turning our backs on the greatest light and blessing ever given to a country.
It is easy to point out the blasphemy in statements like this. It's easy to condem statements like this. It's easy to see the error in statements like this. But what is hard for a lot of Christians to do is provide an answer to statements like this. As Christians, we have to be ready to give an answer always...staements like this are legitimate questions that many unbelievers and even some christians have. Instead of always taking the easy road and condemning a statement like this, we should all personally work on our skills to be able to provide an answer. How many times have new Christians (and some old Christians) had questions like this statement but were too afraid to ask out of fear? Let's work on ourselves people and be ready to provide an answer in the hopes of leading some to Christ or educating those young in the faith.
One of the goals of the translation of the Authorized Version was to remove the man made notes in the margins of the other translations (Geneva Bible Bishops Bible). It seems that this is a marketing ploy to "pimp" out Bibles for money. It seems that is the case with Bible makers today. Like the temple, Christian bookstores have turned into a den of thieves selling the latest study Bible from whomever the coolest preacher is at the moment. And all these Bibles are filled with their fallible notes. If you want to learn about the reformation, go pick up a book. Don't lazily settle for learning about in the margins of the Bible.
Nat, as a home school parent I will have to stand before God on judgment day and account for how I raise my kids. We must remember Jesus' words about offending a little one. How many of us have offended a kid by allowing them in an antichrist environment. One of the parents of a child killed in columbine admitted that it was his fault that his son died because he neglected his responsibilities of protecting his child (spiritually and physically) and turned that responsibility over to someone else (read the book and watch the movie "Indoctrination" by Collin Gunn) while I know that not all can homeschool, there is nothing redeemable about public school that "95% of Christian send their kids to" (Voddie Baucham)
Hey Nat I've met a lot of socially awkward kids in public school. As a home school parent? The argument of social awkwardness fails. Some Parents are deceived by that argument and don't shelter their kids enough. God gave the parents the responsibility to educate His kids. If we turn them over to the world to be educated and socially trained, then we should expect nothing less then what we see now with 75% of kids leaving faith in college.
She said on a radio interview a few months ago she still supports abortion in case of rape or invest. When will Christians drop the conservative movement and its false conservative leaders? Everything that glitters is not gold and every so called conservative leader who is against abortion or gay marriage is not always a true beliver. When will we realize Conservative does not equal Christianity.
Most of this is right but people soon forget the founding fathers intentions when it came to voting. We have gone from founding for the best candadite to voting for whoever is most likely able to win and beat out whoever is the current bad guy. You can't blame someone who voted for a third party candadite or somebody who stayed home because your guy didn't win. If that was the case, Ron Paul supporters could make the same claims about the primaries. Those wouldn't didn't vote for Romney had every right to do so and should not be blamed. He was not the best candadite and the founding fathers probably would be ashamed that he was even considered. If we really want to look at fault start with ourselves. Where were Christians at 4 years ago so we wouldn't have this problem today. Where were in the 90s, 60s, &70s when this stuff started creeping in..
The deception of evangelicals is evident. When a highly esteemed pastor such as Billy Graham can compromise the clear teaching of the Bible concerning false gods for political gains and evangelicals can look the other way, then you know deception has come. People get the words evangelical and Christian mixed up. They even confuse evangelical for The Body of Christ. Evangelical is just a political word used to identify a certain voting block. It is clear that evangelicals have come in unaware and deceived many by placing politics before Christ. By placing abortion and homosexuality before Christ. It's a shame that some Christians have been deceived and followed after these so called "believers" (evangelical leaders) and placed the issues ahead of Jesus.
With two days before the election it is clear that evangelicals have chose their side. And there our only two sides. Jesus said you are either for me or against me. These evangelical leaders have scared people and intimidated people with their voting retoric saying things like vote for the lesser of two evils, if you don't vote then you are the cause of the problem, if you don't vote then you reflect President Obama, you are not voting for a preacher, you are wasting a vote on a third party candadite, etc. What is said is
I too served in Afgan and it is a defeatis attitude. Defeatis is another word for compromise and that what we Christians are doing. Everybody know that these are the two worst candadites. Intead of voting for somebody who is right for the job, people are voting for who will win. As a Marine i am taught that you fight until the end or you die trying. I am glad the founding framers didn't say " The British are too powerful. Let us just work under the system we have know and we will win small victories later on."
The point is, the country is under God's judgment already. Look at the choice He has given us. A Marxist and a Mormon. And it is a shame that Christians are guilty other Christian in voting for this false god believing man. If a person does not want to be represented by a president who worships a false God, how dare another Christian try to put a stumbling block before him and guilt him into voting for that man?
While abortion is wrong, a sin, and should not be allowed, we have but life before the obedience of God. We should fear God and follow Him while at the same time fight abortion but we put life (even if is a baby) before the principles and council of God.God will give us what we ask for and may He have mercy on us when He gives us Romeny.
The excuses Christians have to come up with in order to convince themselves to vote for Romney. "I'm going to hold my nose and vote for Romney" " I'm not voting for a preacher." That kind of thinking is hog wash. Christians will avoid a car salesman because he flip flops to get a sale but they allow it for their leaders.
John yurich asked what makes me think he won't fill flop? What makes me think a pig won't get dirty again after he has been washed?
As an active duty Marine it shames me to see citizens have an defeatist attitude of voting of the lesser of two evils. As a Christian it saddens me to see fellow believers deceived and align themselves with a false god. They fear Obama so much. How can Christians forget things after only 4 years. Since I was little I have always heard "this is the most important election." And these politicians promise Christians the world and they fall for it and every for years they are disappointed.
Ronald Reagan asked "are you better off now than you were four years ago." Let me ask "has the abortion situation gotten better than it was 30 years ago? Has the homosexual issue gotten better than it was 30 years ago? Has evil decreased from 30 years ago? The answer is no. So why do you think Romney will change that?

It is a shame what Christian leaders are doing. They are spreading fear throughout the body. People fear the president so much they are willing to elect a man who believes he will be a god after death. Wake up people and realize what you are asking for. Christians are asking to be saved from the Marxist by electing the Mormon. The presidents record and stances are bad but Romney's are just as bad. He flips flops just to get elected. He supports gay rights. He supports abortion. Christians quickly forget, that is why didn't vote for him in 08. And please stop saying "vote your values." How we forget that we are fallen creatures and our values can get messed up. How about voting according to the Bible. We forget that God sets up and removes kings. We are blessed that He gave us the opportunity to elect our leaders. But this time I think He is going to give us exactly what we ask for. I want to see these so called Christian leaders stand up after Romney gets elected but lets them down. When he supports homosexuality, abortion, and other bad things. I bet some of these so called Christian leaders will hide there faces in shame because they voted for this guy.
Starlet wrote Do you mean you will refrain from voting Republican - AND BY DEFAULT allow the abomination to get back in just to demonstrate your "perfect" and "sinless" theological position in politics?
Wow.... Nothing more for me to say and no point in arguing. Go ahead and side with your Mormon who will be so much better. Go ahead and change the system with your vote. More power to you. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.
