Nope.

Tell you what, prove that voting is essential to salvation and I will agree you are correct.

Essential to salvation? Different issue. Specific works aren't essential to salvation.

Very extemporaneous, his mind is sharp. Not like slothful Biden losing his mind while he talks. Like his video about his hairy legs, and learning about roaches, the little black children who liked to sit on his lap.

wonder how you would feel when you get old, and start to get dementia, and others start to mock and make fun of you? some christians really make me wonder!!!

This comment reminds me of a comment my Daddy made when I was about 10-12. We were riding somewhere & a country singer, with an excruciatingly terrible voice, came on the radio.
After listening for a few seconds, my Dad in effect said, "That poor guy can't help the voice he has, since he was born that way, BUT, he doesn't have to show everybody how bad it is"!:Laugh:rolleyes::eek:

But, in the Anglo-American school of Baptist thought, it is allowable if not encouraged.

Heard an interesting quote today: "There are no answers, only choices." - Stanislaw Lem

Now, obviously, that is not true in all cases; however, there are a lot of issues in life where, as Christians, we do not have a direct "Thou Shall" or "Thou Shall Not", but we can make choices. And, as Christians, we should give leeway to our brethren in a lot of those areas, as the Apostle Paul makes clear in Romans chapter 14. Thus, to say that a person who abstains from being involved in voting or even being involved in politics altogether is acting unBiblically is simply not a Biblically defensible statement.

which one is that?
Anglo-American comes from a lecture given by a lecture by a Russian Evangelical Christian-Baptist historian in Sacramento, California. It was at a celebration of the 150 anniversary of the first Russian to be Scripturaly baptised. According to him, there were three main schools of Baptist thought and practice. Teh Anglo-American, Continenmtal (German), and Slavic (Russian).

Cubans, who daily see what communism has done to their once rich country, are wild about Trump:

Makes sense as they were forced to live under communism. I also knew a Bulgarian who left Bulgaria and said it was bad times when the communists were running things, no freedom. He was glad to come to USA and is an enthusiastic Trump supporter who says democrats are bad communists and USA is heading down that same dark path. He says NPR is democrat propaganda, mostly agree with that. And gets funding from our government which is bad.
