American Roulette--The Choice
- Thread starter InTheLight
- Start date
We Christians living in a Democracy and having the right to vote find ourselves in a unique situation.
We could have a "perfect" nominee for President. He could love Jesus, love others and oppose abortion. He could follow Jesus' teachings to the letter and be blameless among his peers. We could eagerly cast our vote for this person feeling just before God that we have supported a candidate that has represented Jesus Christ very well. And yet in doing so we could be voting against God's very choice to be the next President of the USA.
We do not fully know or understand God's plan for this time and place. It appears, barring any unforeseen tragedies, God has narrowed this down to two people. God has already chosen either Trump or Hillary to be the next President. Both appear ungodly, yet God has chosen one of the two ungodly to be our next President.
I personally believe Trump would bring positive changes for the better even though he be an ungodly man. I believe Hillary would also bring changes in the sense that this country would take another step lower into the gutter of immorality just because she will stack the Courts with ungodly antichrist judges.
The sad part is there will be hundreds of thousands of Christians voting for that garuanteed step down through Hillary. For the choice is not between the righteous and the ungodly, both are ungodly. The choice is between furthering moral decay with Hillary or reversing moral decay through Trump. We have to vote on the issues at hand, not on the worthiness of the candidate to stand before Christ. This isn't a choice between which candidate has the lesser sins, but rather which candidate will work towards protecting Christ honoring moral values for the country.

Pro 29:2 When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
That's a great post and verse.
