The ONLY thing that ultimately matters is salvation. All this political nonsense has no relevance to eternity.

Well, I’m not one of those. Why don’t you go argue with one of them?
Yes, I hear this a lot of politically compromising Christians. Sorry, I have to let you die, cause I don't feel like voting. But let me tell you about Jesus!
Testimony matters.
The Libertarian platform is not pro-life: Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.
Platform

Candidates of a political party are not bound to a platform. For instance, Ron Paul, who was a Libertarian Party presidential candidate, stated in his book, Liberty Defined:
“A society that readily condones abortion invites attacks on personal liberty. If all life is not precious, how can all liberty be held up as important? It seems that if some life can be thrown away, our right to personally choose what is best for us is more difficult to defend. I’ve become convinced that resolving the abortion issue is required for a healthy defense of a free society.”

Question for you - Do you place advancing your political positions ahead of and more important than spreading the gospel?

Fortunately, I am not one of those. And if you call me something like that one more time, then I will have to do conclude that you are doing so maliciously and are purposefully bearing false witness towards me.
I see a flaw in their thinking, however. They say they wan't government out of it, yet they allow government to determine personhood or lack of personhood in individuals (the unborn). This seems to contradict their basic thinking, that government should stay out of matters like this.
Voting for a lock step democrat (they are all lock step when the abortion chips are down) means you ARE voting for abortion in all of it’s stunning lack of glory & grace. Scripture instructs us but will not save us if we choose to bend it, or use it to cover for an abomination. Fact. Democrats are the party of abortion, among other undesirable things. There should be NO debate, yet you continue, & try to appear the victim. Another democrat trait that is disingenuous. Grow up.

One, you are assuming I will vote for Biden. Bad assumption. Two, you don’t know if I will even vote on November 3.

I do not support abortion is any shape or form. No abortion should be performed for any reason.

Scripture has never and will never save anyone.
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” - Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV

I would not intentionally bend the Holy Scriptures nor use the Holy Scriptures to cover for an abomination. Would you?

Got news for you. Republicans are nowhere near pure as the wind driven snow. No one is, much less anyone involved in the worldly business of politics.

Yes, I have noticed a growing tendency among Trump supporters who also wear the name Christian to want to shut down debate. Almost like they are ashamed of their support for Donald Trump.

I am doing no such thing. I would appreciate it if you stop casting personal slurs. It is unbecoming of a Christian.

Remember that your hand with that one finger you are pointing toward me has more pointing toward you. If you can’t engage in honest discussion, perhaps you should excuse yourself from the conversation.
Then why do you bend over backward to defend them? So you can be PC? Or maybe you have close friends or family who vote dem, & you are showing loyalty? My 94yr old father votes dem, & when he could still hear, & debate, I gave no quarter. There is no excuse, except ignorance of facts. Here is the excuse that I see thrown out by died in the wool leftists......Trump’s private locker room quote about grabbing ‘them’ by the............How sad is that? Meanwhile, dem governors literally murder the elderly to promote their agenda.That is why I say grow up. There is no middle of the road anymore, it is not your safe space. Your vote will either mean something or indicate that you don’t really care enough about the reality to take a stand on where we will go from here. Should be enough here for you to make another dozen or so posts. Cheers.

I could not disagree more. Maybe for someone on the far right or far left. However, thankfully, only a small percentage of Americans are extremists politically.
