I don’t blame you and I think you’re making a reasonable decision. That said, I can’t in good faith not vote for Trump as the consequences of a Harris administration are unthinkable. Im not ready for God to turn us over to our sins.

Not this church going Christian. Even if you don’t like Trump, the other side is pure demonic.

Even Trump--who I actually hope wins--doesn't have a consistent view of abortion.


....but you are cool with the sterilization of kids? The mutilation of the genitals of kids? You are so moral.

Well this churchgoing Christian and his entire family will be voting for Donald J Trump for President in a few weeks. I'm not buying it IMO. Everyone that I talk to at church is pro Trump.

Which book, chapter, and verse tells you to sit out elections or to sacrifice the good for the perfect?
That specific statement? There is none.

I'd be happy to provide an in-depth response to why I believe what I believe, however I'll sum it up by saying that I am commanded to do all things for the glory of God (1 Cor. 10:31) and that anything done not in faith is sin (Rom. 14:23). I, personally, cannot vote in good faith for someone who does not give honor to Christ as King and therefore it would be sin for me to proceed to do so.

I'm soon to be 66 years old, the only president I honestly believe may indeed be a Christian is Jimmy Carter and I don't think he's a particularly devout Christian or he would have left the Dim party of death on their pro abortion stance.

Every Christian should vote Trump for two reasons.

1) A Trump administration is going to be the most pro life/anti abortion vs Kackles who is unashamedly running for POTUS on the promise of unfettered abortion throughout the the US.

2) The SCOTUS nominations. If Kackles and the Dims win and they control Congress and the presidency there's a real chance the Supreme Court is expanded to over 15 justices and you can 100% kiss this constitutional republic and traditional US/Western norms goodbye.

So you’ve never voted in your life?

Because if you ever did before, you voted for exactly what you said you wouldn’t.

Romans 13:1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

Okay, then, you are disobeying His word in the scriptures by not voting. Because the scriptures say that elected officials are established by God. You are doing His will by voting for the candidate of your choice. The winner is established by him through you.

This is fricking stupid. Won't vote for the person more likely to buttress religious values and freedoms knowing the opponent wants to cut down religious freedom and make abortion with few limits the law of the land. You are a fraud.

So let me get this straight. This “survey” wants me to believe that Trump will lose Christian votes after putting 3 Christians on the SC?

If Trump survived access hollywood, he will be more than fine this election. This survey is bs

show me where we are required to vote for a priest or pastor?
I'm not interested in looking for a priest or a pastor. I think good men, and good leaders in particular, should be seeking Christ's kingdom first. That's a command for all Christians, not just pastors.

you are a CUCK PUSSY COWARD
I'm sorry you feel that way but I personally think taking the unpopular position based on conviction of principle is not cowardly.

this country is on the line and you basically vote for KAMMALA by non voting?
I'm not voting for Harris. At all. That's my point: my vote is my endorsement and I can't vote for any of the current candidates in good conscience.

Yeah I don’t believe you, did God speak to you?

Why wouldn’t you believe him? I don’t understand what motivation he would have for lying about this.

He is secretly going to vote, but just wants to antagonize this board?

He has always opposed Trump, but wants you to think he used to support him?

What?
