You really believe in the grand scheme of things, God is going to care about the religion of the person you voted for?

 

On Judgement Day, the Bible indicates that I will be held accountable for my actions. Why would I think that voting for a Pro-Abortion candidate or a candidate who rejects Christ would not be one of the actions. I think you and I BOTH will be accountable for every action that we have ever done. You for yours. Me for mine.

 

From my understanding, that is what Scripture indicates.

I wouldn't vote for a Pro-Abortion Rights candidate but if there were a Muslim (or Bhuddist or any other religion) who was Pro-Life, Anti-Death Penalty, in favor of limited government, etc. I would have no problem voting for them. I can't vote against my values but I don't think that God would have a problem with me voting for a non-Christian so long as their political positions did not contradict my personal values. Supporting unChristian actions is sinful but supporting non-Christians is not inherently sinful

So, a guy/gal is up there running and you agree with everyone of his political stances but he says Christianity is a crock and you could vote for him and don't think God would be upset about your vote?

 

Remember, I did not say non-Christian. I said a person who rejected Christ. What I mean by that is someone who says Christ is not who Christ really is.

You didn't say someone who claims "Christianity is a crock" but instead you said someone who rejects the idea of Christ as savior. I don't know what I would do about someone who explicitly said that "Christianity is a crock" but no politician would ever in their right mind say that, so I won't have to make that decision. :lol:

Okay, let me rephrase again.

 

If a Muslim who rejects the idea of Christ as the Son of God but merely is a man is running for President, I could not vote for them and ask them to represent me in the White House when they stand firmly in the belief that makes up the very core of me.

 

If an Atheist who rejects the idea of there even being a God asks for my vote, they will not receive it.

 

Could you vote for either person and really believe that God would be okay with it? You supporting a person who rejects God's Son?

Such as a Muslim or Buddhist, correct? Since they believe was only a prophet and deny he was God's only begotten son who died and rose again 3 days later.

 

You've posed an interesting question LBBC.

 

Rejecting Christ personally or supporting someone who you know rejects Christ would both be difficult things to explain to God on Judgment Day.

Yes. to your question to me. Might not be politically correct but it is honest.

 

Now, I am not talking denomination. No problem voting for pro-life Catholic although I disagree with many of their stances and even their view of the pope. Or any of the other Christian denominations.

 

I am not saying they have had to accept him as their personal Savior, although, that would sure make it easier for me, but not reject who Christ was/is.

 

And let me repeat, while I am not always successful and that really perturbs me when I am not:irked:, I tried to make those decisions with the thought in mind, when I stand on Jdugement Day in front of God, what is He going to think of this decision. Unfortunately, I am like Paul and get frustrated when I fail too many times at this.

So what you're saying is that if they aren't Christian, you wouldn't vote for them?

 

I can't even begin to grasp that way of thinking...

Nope didn't say that.

 

Even so, can you grasp the way of thinking that some Dems would never ever vote for a Republican? Or vice versa?

Yes, because we're talking about politics. I could never vote for anyone who didn't share the majority of my political views, just as I'm sure many others could not do either. To say that you wouldn't vote for a candidate that shared your political views, solely because of their religion is a form of discrimination.

So, the faith that is supposed to be the most important thing in my life and drive every decision that I make is NOT to be used to drive my political views?

 

Am I supposed to be a Christian 24/7 except when I walk into the voting booth.

 

It is okay to never consider voting Republican but not okay to consider not voting for someone that has openly rejecting God and Jesus Christ?

 

Are you saying that being a Republican than is worse than being a person who has rejected God? Because you would be okay with a person not voting Republican because they are Republican but not okay with them rejecting a person who is an atheist?

How does a person's religious preference have any implication on their ability to run a country? If politically they agree in every instance with your political views, then I'm sorry that is just as bad as not voting for someone because of race or gender.

I would vote for a Catholic I consider them Christian, but I'm not sure I could vote for a non christian.

It's not okay to not vote for someone because of their political party affiliation if you agree with their stance on the political issues. Most of the time, people don't vote for a particular party because they don't agree with their views.

 

I can't see myself voting for a Democrat anytime soon, because I don't agree with much of their platform. During the past election, didn't we have numerous posts talking about how we need to vote the issues, not the candidates? You can't compare the two situations at all IMO.

I would vote for a Catholic I consider them Christian, but I'm not sure I could vote for a non christian.

 

Catholicism is a form of Christianity if I'm not mistaken.
