Voting: The Bullies Say It Is The Measure of A True Christian

Something weird is happening. Actually its tragic and pathetic, really.

Professing Christians are making politics an essential to Christianity, but at the same time turn a closed eye to the essentials of biblical Christianity.

Apparently "Christians" can view God's role for women, the literal 6 Day Creation, faith in the resurrection of Christ Jesus, the Lordship of the Lord, believer's baptism by immersion, and absolute truth, as all Non-Essentials. Yup, they are ready to generously "agree to disagree" on these doctrines and more, because these are issue of conscience (however Romans 14 is not about biblical doctrine, but about true gray issues, matters of conscience that Scripture has not spoken for or against).

But DON'T YOU DARE NOT VOTE! That's right, Christianity is now determined not by doctrine but by your patriotism.

HUH?

Scripture doesn't demand I vote. Voting is not an essential to my faith in Christ Jesus alone. But it seems that Christians (and Republicans in general) are bullying those of us with a clear conscience to vote for the "lesser of the two evils".

This is pitiful. And its based on fear of the opposing political party.

Where's their loyalty to all things of Christ Jesus? Scripture? Biblical truth?

Gone.

Charity is wide and tolerance high for those who hold to evolution, feminism, Romanism, eastern mysticism, pragmatism, and humanism. But vile anger is directed toward those who refuse to support evil in this year's elections.

What utter nonsense.

Let's remember that as Christians, we are loyal to Christ alone. We are to fear God, not man. We are to live faithfully to biblical truth, not be pragmatic.

Jeremiah 17:5, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord.’”

Prov. 21: 3 To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

A friend of mine sent me an article written by Peter Ditzel. In part he said:

Quote:

So, let’s picture Jesus faced with the possibility of voting in an election in which the best choice is merely the lesser evil. Can you honestly imagine Jesus voting for any kind of evil? If Herod and Pilate were running for the same office, would Jesus have voted for Pilate because he was the lesser evil? I can’t imagine it, can you? I can only see Jesus among the masses saying, “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man” (Psalm 118:8), and, “Put not your trust in princes” (Psalm 146:3), and, “My kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36).

At election time, is the only way we can show our patriotism and Christianity by voting for the lesser evil? I refuse to believe it. Did you know that most tyrants in the world legitimize themselves by making sure they win elections and then saying, “The people have spoken”? In the United States, we are only slightly more sophisticated. Here, the wizards of Oz who are working the controls behind the curtains set out two or three candidates for us (Tweedledee, Tweedledum, and Tweedledummer). Then they tell us to vote for one, and they convince even Christians that it is their patriotic and Christian duty to vote even if they realize that all of the candidates are some degree of evil. Having discharged their duty, the masses can feel good about themselves and go back to sleep while the powers that be pour more detergent into the brainwashing system called public education, erode our First Amendment rights, gain control over our food supply, and pick a fight with the next country that they want to control for strategic reasons.

Whoever wins, here are three Scriptures to keep in mind:

“Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above….” (John 19:11)

“This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.” (Daniel 4:17—emphasis mine)

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

End quote.

How is it possible to keep one's hands clean from supporting evil while at the same time be accused that by not voting for the evil, we ARE responsible for evil prevailing? How does that make any sense? By NOT supporting evil, I'm supporting evil?

By not supporting a pro-abortion (in rape and incest), feminist (tear a mom of a infant away from her family to rule a nation), liberal (voted FOR two liberal Supreme Court justices and stood against the conservative SCJ candidates) RINO, I am standing for a higher standard: God's. My hands are clean before God. I take a stand AGAINST evil by not supporting it. I pray against it (prayer is now considered "doing nothing" by "Christians"). I pray for HIS righteousness to rule this land. I trust in HIM.

But apparently these "Christians" think I'm perpetrating evil by doing that.
