2. You completely took that verse out of context and misused it. Christ was saying that people ought to follow the laws of their country (by paying taxes in that instance).

3. We are not electing a pastor, we are electing a civic leader. If you do not like the choices, exercise your ability to choose by voting in other elections as well and changing the political climate. Or run for office yourself.

Representational government in the framework of a constitutional republic is a unique blessing we have been given by ancestors who died earning and defending it. Shirking your duty (and justifying it via misapplied Bible verses) is frankly appalling.

“Although some of his beliefs may differ from those held by many in the university community, it’s important to remember that our political leaders are not our spiritual leaders.”
“render unto Caesar what is Caesar, and unto God what is God’s. Can you name anything as a Christian that does not belong to God? NOTHING, even your vote belongs to Him. So can you vote for someone who openly is against Christ?

As to the comment about loving 40 Buhdist: I love Mr. Romney. He is a fellow human being, but he is lost and so I pray for his salvation. That is a far cry from accepting his belief system.

Have you read Ghandi’s response to “Why did you reject Christianity.” “I did not reject Christianity, I rejected Christians.” In American we are so deluded by our wealth, that we are as hypocritical as the pharasee of Jesus’ day. The only solution is not to vote for either. For one claims to be a Christian, but his views on many things are not biblically based, and the other is a non-believer. Again how can you vote for someone who believes Jesus and Satan are brothers?

Just one example: Does the person who calls himself Christian accept the doctrine of the Trinity? Christians do; Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses do not. Any person who denies the Trinity cannot be considered a Christian.

The Apostle Paul warned about false or distorted gospels (e.g., 2 Cor. 11:3-4; Gal. 1:6-9). Jude enjoined Christian believers to defend the historic faith (Jude 1:3).

Truth is not “tolerant.” Truth is narrow, it excludes all falsehood. But, Christian love is expansive, gracious, generous. Christians are to “speak the truth in love” (Eph. 4:15).

These two–truth and love–are essential. Both are needed in carrying out the mandate of the risen Christ, to “preach the gospel to all creation” (Mark 16:15).

I stand with Rev Falwell who said:“If 25,000 Christians can’t love 40 Buddhists in the name of Jesus then we need to shut down this university.” Change the words “40 Buddhists” to 1 Mormon and the word “university” to Liberty Champion and you have my view.

Get over this because you are not talking about Christ’s view you’re talking about your view.
