Turn about is fair play and RA won't see this anyway. For the life of me I look at the mess the country is in and can't understand why anyone would not vote, or vote other than conservative, now that everything has been fully revealed about Biden's health. Other than just flat out hate for Trump, which I don't understand either, why would you sit back and watch this dumpster fire instead of helping us put it out?? I don't understand the apathy. I don't even have children, and if I had it would be an even bigger reason to make sure I voted the Marxists out in 2024. What is the lack of concern with Christians, this apathy? Can someone calmly explain why we should risk a Biden/Harris four years?
Hi
@ThereRoseaLamb
I can only speak for myself concerning my understanding of the political issue that is being manifest in this election, but I would challenge some of your claims.
When you say that the country is in a mess, is this a phenomenon that has just popped up in the last 3 years? I mean, from where I sit in my small little city, I see that America has had problems politically and morally for quite a while now. So, I'd question that this is something that the present administration has brought on. We, as a nation, have been fairly supportive of the immoral sexual practices of the world for quite a few decades now. We also, at this point in time, accept divorce as pretty much a normal occurrence and don't seem a bit bothered by that, and haven't been for at least 40 years. And that's exactly what the Scriptures portray will be happening. So, I can't understand how you seem to think this is some new problem.
But the GOP contender doesn't have any answer for that phenomenon. And if we really are a democratic republic, then those ungodly attitudes are likely to get more support than any godly initiatives, as far as the future of our entire nation. Look, we are not a godly nation. Maybe some time 300 years ago one might consider that our rule of law and Constitution certainly gave a nod to God, but those days are long gone and mankind continues to fulfill Paul's claims about the sin that festers and grows to the point that people are inventing new ways of doing evil and not only doing such things but giving approval to those who do them. I'm sorry, but as I understand the Scriptures, the world, overall, is going to hell in a hand basket.
Now God asks His children not to be a part of that. We are to be about promoting and proclaiming the truth of God's word and His offer of salvation through the blood of His Son. That doesn't mean that we can't vote for who we feel is the best person to run the nation.
Having said that, here's why I can't support the likes of a man like the GOP contender, no matter that I know the world is going to hell in that hand basket. He is morally bankrupt. Now, you can argue that the policies and laws and considerations of the entire governmental system of the United States is not in line with what God asks of us, but I'm not considering any of that. I'm just looking at the two people that are standing before us and asking for our vote to support them as the next leader of the nation. The GOP contender is morally bankrupt himself. He is a compulsive liar and preener of his own beauty and greatness. Literally everything he claims about himself is that he's the best that has ever existed in whatever he says and does. Friend, that's just an impossibility. And I saw his first administration. So I can say with all truth that isn't true. He has not been the best president. He has not been better to blacks than anyone has ever been. He is not nearly so grand and glorious as he holds himself up to be. He's a liar. He's a fornicator. He claims that he's never needed God's forgiveness. Just that alone causes me to question why believers would think that he's some greater person than anyone else. He believe, honestly believes and understands in his mind that denigrating and disrespecting people is how you get things done. I'm sorry, but there is nothing godly in that. In fact, God's word says that we give everyone the respect and honor that they are due.
Now, let's look at VP Harris and the type of person that she is. She's only been married once. So, on the matter of a godly marriage, that puts here ahead of the GOP contender. Now, whether she tells lies or not is always going to be seen differently by different folks, but for me, I don't think I've heard anything near the amount of lying that I hear from the GOP contender. So while she likely isn't perfect in her abilities at being truthful, I find that her words are more reliable than his. She is able to work with others fairly well. Yes, she's had those in her past that have had issues, but then, if you've read about those who have been aligned with the GOP contender, about 80% of the people who have ever worked with him have some fairly derogatory stories to tell about him and his attitude towards others.
Despite the fact that people say they don't want a politician, there is something to be gained by having experience with the system, if you're going to start running that system. The GOP contender, even now, is trying to sell you the idea that now that he's had four years of experience, now he knows how to get things done. Now, I doubt that, but my point is that he himself admits now that he didn't have any idea what he was doing or how our government works. I mean, I still chuckle over his early comment after just becoming president and making his one feeble stab to wipe out the ACA with his new and glorious health plan, which as far as anyone knows doesn't exist, and saying, "who knew that healthcare could be so difficult?" Well, if he had been awake and aware when the present healthcare plan was passed, he should have known how difficult passing a healthcare plan would be. Yet his own words condemn him that he had no idea. He honestly thought that he could just walk into the office on day one and just wipe it all away. Not the performance of someone who knows how our governmental system works.
So, for me, on demeanor, Harris wins. For me, on honesty, Harris wins. For me, on experience in working within the confines and laws of our nation, Harris wins. I'm just not willing to put some bully that can't respect others as the leader of my nation. You're free to vote for him if you like. I mean this is America where everyone gets a vote. But my vote will be for the person I feel is the most mature and experienced for the job. Harris wins.
And really, do you even know what Marxism is? Because nothing that you see going on in the political arena of the United States at this very moment in time, has any ties to any Marxist ideology.
Would you consider my response to be a calm and concise answer to your questions?
And of course, my final word would be that the GOP contender had a four year term. Were all these problems not there when he was in office? Did we not have just as much sexual immorality while he was the leader? I mean, how hypocritical can it be to think that someone as immoral as he, can set the nation back on some moral track that you think we need to get on.
God bless you and use your vote wisely.
Ted
