So I guess that means the platforms aren't lies after all.<br /><br />Again, it sounds like you either made the video or are in agreement with it. My explanations as to the proper view of voting are in the article. Feel free to disagree, but don't say it's because I accept lying.<br /><br />And don't bring in comparisons do dealing with heresy -- I noted well that politics is a whole different ball game because we cannot hold pagans to Christian morality.<br /><br />Have a good day, sir. <br /> <br /><br />Glenn E.

If I tell you what you want to hear but have no intention of actually doing them, you're saying I'm obligated to act on your lie?<br />So when I'm exercising my privilege to say no to both candidates because I believe they are unfit for the position I'm now in error? Would you use that with any position on a biblical heresy? You have to choose between two wrong choices because it's my "only" option? No you don't believe that and neither do I. Keeping the Republican party around when in reality it's a wolf in sheep's clothing is not good for the country. They crowd out a real party that is for the people. I'm not talking about positions on ideas I'm talking about lying. I will not enable liers nor work to put them in positions of authority over me. They can not be trusted to do what is right. Honesty is better than a lie you like to hear about moral issues any day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043971967398769903.post-35952007454637281042016-06-20T12:06:09.190-05:002016-06-20T12:06:09.190-05:00To the person who hides his identity - Someone wil...To the person who hides his identity - Someone will win this election. Your responsibility is to do the best you can with your one vote.

You are in error.<br /><br />When it comes to party platforms, you have to use them as the basis of the ideology of its members. I understand that not all members of the party will follow the platform ideology, but we have to deal with what we have.<br /><br />And yes God can work without our votes, but in this country we have the privilege of having a say-so, and when we don't exercise that right of getting the best on the ballot, they I think God gives us what we deserve -- the Obamas of the world.Glenn E.

They can't seem to see that voting for politicians is not the same as electing a church leader. It's so simple that it just passes over their heads. Sad.Glenn E.

Platforms are talking points not action items for laws. Just look back at history to see this truth. Republicans have held the majority in the House and Senate but didn't act on the platform items (abortion...), end of discussion.<br />We will all give an account of how we live our life. Knowingly voting to put a person in any office who is a lier is to give them the right to do what ever they want to us. We know they are not truthful and give them power to rule anyway. How do you kill millions of your own people(Hitler, Pol Pot)? Lie to them, that's what they did. Political leaders have done it multiple times in history for it only to be repeated again. Why because we are voting for the better of two? If they lie neither are fit for office, our lives depend on it. Don't be deceived God raises up and puts down leaders with our without our votes. But we give an account only for how we lived a life that glorifies our Lord.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043971967398769903.post-3666302095479223612016-06-20T10:54:55.078-05:002016-06-20T10:54:55.078-05:00Great post; you nailed it.

For a while, I couldn't understand their convoluted thinking until I put it together with their misguided doctrines of the Church. They believe the Church is Israel and so they are bound to Israel's covenants. They are amillennialists who believe that Jesus is already reigning; they despise our constitution and they hate our government because they want it to establish Christianity ONLY and outlaw the freedom of existence for every other religion. They will not vote for any candidate (either party) unless he (NO women) is a Christian (who meets the biblical qualifications for elders) Or, some may vote for any unqualified third party candidate just to confound the process. And the worst thing about it is, they won't be reasoned with.<br /><br />I am going to share this on my blog if you don't mind. hymns that preachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14456829104120421972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043971967398769903.post-90044973932452917912016-06-19T21:18:24.332-05:002016-06-19T21:18:24.332-05:00This was very helpful, thank you!
