Featured Why voting for Donald Trump is not a morally good choice.

AMEN!!!

I invite all on Baptist Board to view this video. It's not quite 8 1/2 minutes long. This is part one of a five part series. I found that once I watched part one I was compelled to continue on with the rest of the series.

Among the many things it does, it shows that voting for the "lesser of two evils" is a variation on situational ethics and dismantles the "voting for a third party is a wasted vote" argument.

Folks, if we Christians continue to vote for the lesser of two evils, like we did in 2008 and 2012, the GOP will continue to give us lousy candidates and we're going to stay stuck in this rut.

 

Why Voting for Donald Trump Is a Morally Good Choice

 

Situational ethics choice. Same old lesser of two evils clap-trap. Ignore all the flaws Trump has because Hillary would be worse. Compromise your beliefs.

Says the newest hog feeding at the trough. I seem to remember you singing a different tune in past elections.

 

Your "conscience" is OBVIOUSLY unaligned with the Holy Spirit if you think that's your first priority as a follower of CHrist. God hasn't commanded that you nor any other Christian keep anyone out of office.

He wants your obedience over your "sacrifice".

Knowing that there is nothing Christ honoring about Trump, you like many, seek to sate your own wishes and are using Hillary Clinton as an excuse.

Given the completed Canon of Jesus Christ where HE does not go against Himself.

Christians unrepentantly keep trying to sell this lie against Jesus. If your conscience is telling you to suport that which is against God, then you better test that spirit.

A house divided of itself cannot stand. And Jesus isn't warring against Himself.

I would think that the Body of Christ would have enough GOD sense to look at the last two candidates for President that many Christians in the GOP have UNREPENTANTLY supported , and understand why you'll get Hillary Clinton as the next President.

HE desires OBEDIENCE over sacrifice.

 

YEP!

I think what you're seeing out of Christians today is the same type of disobedience you saw out of God's people, the Israelites. Anytime they went against Him, HE let their "enemies" win.

Is it mere coincidence that just like the Assyrians and the Babyonians were used to discipline israel, that they now may be being used to discipline God's modern day followers?

I think the more Christians continue to spit in God's face by supporting that which is against Him, the more you're going to see Him use what we don't want to discipline us.

We try this foolishness about "electing a President and not a pastor" to try and remove God from the equation while we spit in His face.

The same type rejection of God that was present in 1 Sam 8 is on full display from a lot of Christians.

 

You don't say?! Where in the world did you get that idea? From this?

It really shouldn't matter if you used to think that way. I will freely admit that I used to make the same argument that not voting for the Republican was a vote for the Democrat. But then the Republicans crossed a bridge too far, and nominated a democrat so it gave me a chance to actually think about that argument and realized that it is a flawed argument. My husband has always voted 3rd party, and it was something we debated since he has always voted for a 3rd party person. But I knew that getting married to him I would be submitting to him, including in the voting box. The republicans did me a favor by showing me that my husband has been right all along so I will have no problem voting the same as him this election cycle.

 

Exactly! I've finally realized that to continue to vote Republican just because the Democrat is worse while ignoring your conscience and morals is wrong. Nothing will change if Christians continue to support flawed candidates. We're simply going to continue to get flawed candidates.

The sad thing is, Hillary Clinton is eminently beatable. I believe that Cruz, Rubio, and Walker could have all beaten her, and I could have voted for any of those three candidates. While I would not have voted for Bush or Kasich, I think they could have won as well. Yet we got Trump.

 

So you think any of them could have beat Hillary...but they couldn't even beat Trump.

Pretty weak.

What you're telling us is that you really just wanted another establishment republican like McCain or Romney.

 

Trump got about 40% of the GOP primary voters. Trump required going into May before he won enough delegates to clinch the nomination. Pretty weak. For most of the primary season Rubio and Cruz were beating Hillary in the polls.

You do have a reading comprehension problem. I just got done saying that I would not support those kinds of candidates.

Cruz is not establishment. Rubio is an original Tea Party candidate. Walker is not establishment.

ITL, he's adopted that old Nazi philosophy:



It doesn't matter what you say. What matters is what he WANTS to be the truth.

 

Because all of the above were able to secure their nomination early in the race and didn't have to drag it out until the end. I never had a chance to vote in any primary before this year since by the time my state voted it was over.
Securing early I think shows more strength than a 40% weak win, which is even worse than McCain 46% win in the primary and we all know how well he did in the general election.

Donald Trump though has appeared to some degree changed his past sinful decisions, and to have come around to at least understanding nore of the Christian and blical position on things now...

Basic choice right now is between him, someone who has sinned against God by his moral decisions in the past, as we all have, but who seems to be trying to get towards more of a christian concept, to a woman whose life history is to keep on giving to us ungodly and unchristian views and posiyions on moral issues...

I will be trusting that Trumpo can and will change in his areas far more than Hillary can, and also think that his financial cjouces and Supreme Court appointments will be far superior to hillary!
