"Am I voting Democrat or Republican?"


 
Dear Doves,

Someone forwarded the following to me from RaptureReady this morning, and I thought it was worth passing on to all of you for your prayerful consideration.

Maranatha!

Am I voting Democrat or Republican?
 

(This was asked to a local Pastor and I thought he answered very well. Maybe you will agree and pass this on to someone you know).

Should a Christian vote Democratic or Republican?

Dear Pastor:

I'm one of those who are still undecided about our presidential election in November. My family has always voted Democrat because we thought they did more for the working family than the Republican Party. I think President Bush is doing a good job with the war on terror, but Senator Kerry says he can do a better job. I am very concerned about the economy and the future of the Social Security. Does the Bible give any direction that might help a Christian vote wisely?

WHAT A QUESTION FOR ALL CHRISTIANS TO DEAL WITH AND ANSWER.

There are two issues that separate the two parties and they are very, very important to a God fearing person. 1. Legalized abortion. 2. Legal sanction on homosexual activity.

God warns in the 18th. Chapter of Leviticus that such sins defile a nation and the land it occupies. He promises that such sin will cause the land to vomit out its inhabitants. Our country is facing the time of acceptance and legal status to homosexual marriages.

If we can do this and survive, then God Almighty is a liar, the Bible is a fable and our faith is a sham. One party is loudly in favor of both abortion and homosexual approval and the other party is against both issues. As a Christian, I can NEVER vote for those who promote what God condemns. There's NO choice when it comes to approving what the Lord forbids. It's not the economy or the war or Social Security; it's what is right as the Bible so says. Vote but vote right. God will be watching as you do.
