Obama Releases Ad Touting His ‘Christian Faith’ & Claiming He’s Leading America ‘With Faith Values’
Just three days before Americans head to the polls to decide who will be victorious in the 2012 presidential election, President Barack Obama’s campaign released a new ad aimed at courting faith voters. Despite some bumps in the road with the faith community following his administration’s controversial contraceptive mandate, among other policy moves, Obama is still actively courting left-of-center religious voters.
The three-minute clip, “President Barack Obama is Leading With Faith Values,” features numerous faith leaders, including Bishop Vashti McKenzie, a leader in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, professor Stephen Schneck of the the Catholic University of America and Chicago Pastor J.R. Kerr, among others....

You would be hard pressed to name very many elected officials that are not cursed of God due to their religious beliefs, so your point is pointless. There have been many posts, maybe not this thread, where you see people saying they are thanking God and praying for our leaders as commanded in I Timothy. If you cannot see the persecution of the Christian faith that is coming through the LGBT policies promoted by this administration then you really need to do some research. We will never know, nor would I assume, that a Romney win would have made a huge difference. Personally, I have never thought Romney would win. Also, if you cannot legislatively change the hearts of men then throw out Ecclesiastes 8:11. They may have the same wicked heart but it would be more restrained in its manifestations. If legislation makes no difference, why have laws? "It is better to trust in the Lord Than to put confidence in man." Psalm 118:8
multiple states, people have reported vote flipping...
so Mike, just ask the computer, it will tell you which one. no worries about recounts. whatever's done on the computer system owned by a foreign company can never be questioned.
I believe Christians, world wide should be praying for the outcome of the election. That it will be the closest to God's heart and that the binding, Christ hating legislation of the past few years, will in some way be undone. What a choice for the US voters. Obama: A sometime, Marxist Moslem 'Christian'. Or: Romney, a figure head from the cult of Mormon. The US is the most influential nation on the Earth. May God grant true BIBLICAL revival there as a beacon and example in these times of utter apostasy and ecumenical hocus-pocus. May God be glorified and many sinners saved, in Christ Jesus name. Amen.

Not sure who you are or where you are from Believer, but you definetly need to post on SA more. This site really needs your voice!!!
I believe that there are people on here that would support republican candidates regardless of their position on abortion and homosexuality.

We live in a Republic with an 'electoral' system for Presidential elections. Almost every State awards ALL their electorates to the winner of that State. If you are in a solid Blue or solid Red State, voting 3rd party does not lead to an Obama victory.
Since my State is 'in play,' I will be voting Romney/Ryan(mostly because of the Ryan part). If I were in say NY, Id vote 3rd party all the way

At least Romney has stated that he will appoint Pro Life Judges to the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v Wade.

Ultimately, you really can't legislate the attitude of the people. I will agree with that point. The very best defense against abortion, divorce, gay marriage, and any other sin that attacks the family is to teach your family the difference between right and wrong, and to do that effectively, the only way is the Bible. If individuals are brought up the right way by being taught to follow God, then the gay bars, abortion clinics, and divorce attorney offices may well be open and legal--but they will be empty.
However, the government that we elect dictates what we can do as individuals. If you sit on your hands and let liberal law makers and judges take control of the country--hand in hand with the liberal media that constantly pushes their agenda, then you get a society that does not honor God. These people push their agendas on you and your children and grandchildren, and put limits on what you can say even within your own household.
Mandates such as those that require churches to marry homosexuals and force homeschooling parents to teach that homosexuality is anything other than a sin are here now or around the corner. Or do you think Barry O. is going to soften up for the next four years. Christians should not vote for Obama.

Agreed, you can't legislatively change hearts, but you surely can legislatively change what actions are legally acceptable, and the consequences of actions. It's being done every day.
If Romney is elected, will you consider that providential as well?
As for the continuing decline of America, you're probably right. We're trying to catch down with the rest of the world. Prophecy will continue to be fulfilled, regardless of who's president.
No more than you'd think that the world has come to an end because of the past 4 years of Obama. You would if you believe all that has been posted here about him.

Poppycock. There have been presidents who have been Unitarian, Episcopalian, Quaker, Presby, RC, Baptist, Dutch Reformed, Methodist, unaffiliated, and Obama's wonderful UCC. And you think evangelicals have compromised the Word of God and the end of the world has come because of a Mormon?

1. Amen, well that's three of us at least on these threads. The problem though Curtis is this: If the Christian church is in need of revival, it has gotten that way through a lack of prayer. So that although prayer is the prerequisite of revival, there are so few who are willing to undertake such a task. If you have the answer to this dilemma, please speak out and make it known.
2. I have a good friend locally, who is invited to preach in diverse local churches, many of them nominal churches with hardly one born again soul in them. He preaches the word to them, preaches the gospel to them, speaks to them about eternal issues, and all with the love of God. He does that in case the Lord has plans of salvation for some of these poor religious wretches, so that as long as that door is open, he will spend time with them, prayerfully committing their souls unto him who is able to lead many sons to glory.
First we need to pray that God bring a revival to whole Christian Church. Next we need people who have good doctrine to preach, teach, and model the word of God with love.
