God calls evil evil. Bib, I thought you believed in total depravity. Romney is a big time mormon. Read up on what they believe. I am not voting for the "lesser" of two evils again. I will pray to the One who is really in control of all human events though. And look only for His return. I don't see Jesus approving/voting for a man who thinks He is a created being and that Lucifer is His bro and then say he is more moral than Obama. And no I would never vote for him either.
Yes, God calls evil evil. And God also uses evil men to accomplish His purposes. Yes, all members of the body of Christ, should be lifting their voices in prayer. And, while looking for His return, also be prepared for His return and His judgement.
Right now, I don't see Jesus approving/voting for any man, within the context of this thread. God, the Son, isn't making a choice as to who will lead HIM. Instead, He is waiting for sinful men to join HIS church. Prior to establishing His Kingdom, His rulership on earth, He is watching to see what we do with what we have, no matter how small the amount may be. Whether 7 pennies or 1 vote. Each of us will have to give an accounting to Him. Did we invest wisely or did we bury what we were given in the ground for safe keeping until His return? Or, did we cast it in the weeds and thorns where there was no hope of a fruitful harvest?
If you don't vote for either of them, you are not canceling out the vote of someone who did.
If Zaac votes for Obama and I vote for Romney the net effect is zero.
If Zaac votes for Obama and I don't vote, the net effect is Obama 1.
If Zaac votes for Obama and I vote 3rd party, the net effect is Obama 1 more than Romney.
Choosing not to vote or to vote 3rd party is indeed voting, in essence, by proxy for Obama.
Burying the vote we were given to invest or planting where there's no hope of a harvest, regardless of how meager the return on investment may be. When we stand before Him, He will judge everything in our lives, including how we chose to invest the ONE vote that we were given for the 2012 presidential election.
My one vote isn't much to invest and there isn't a lot of potential for a good return on the investment. However, if my one vote can help prevent ONE baby from being murdered in the womb I'm ready to accept whatever my Saviour's judgement may be when I stand before Him. I already have too much to account to Him for in my life. I can't add the killing of a baby to the list, when there was even a very small, tiny, remote, possibility that I could have helped stop that single death.
Each must choose. Each must make their own decision about the path they take. Each must don the armour of the Lord and take their stand.
In this case I cannot vote for Obama directly or indirectly. When compared to facing my Saviour, the judgements of other men will matter little. Only His judgement makes a difference in my eternity with Him. I long to hear Him say:
Matthew 25: KJB
21 His lord said unto him,
Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
