thanks
That was a well written article imo.thanks
yes the policies are the most important issueThat was a well written article imo.
Considering Trump's flaws... Too many to list... This sums it up.
Instead, voting is the deliberate act of preferring a candidate who supports a set of policies over an alternative set of policies. To illustrate this approach, I submit two things voting is not.
I agree. I've never been a big fan of everything he's said, but his results stand on their own.yes the policies are the most important issue
the problem with policies is that often politicians don't keep their policy promises
one reason potus is so popular is because he kept more of his promises than any other - his personal flaws are debatable due to fake news agendas but his ability to protect the country he loves and usa citizens is outstanding and not seen in this potency since i don't know when
Because you are commanded to obey those set above you. In America, that is the U.S. Constitution, the supreme law of the land. It is your responsibility to vote, because that is how the system works.What does it mean to vote for a US president, and why should a Christian vote?
I will not be voting in US because I live in the UK, so I am not supporting any candidate. One thing I came to realize is that everyone has too many flaws when another person takes a microscope on that person's life. Every politician has flaws. It is just that some politicians's flaws are broadcast from the rooftop, while others are never mentioned. It is all about who you like and why you like them. For me, I go with policies and who will get things done compared to their opposition party.The United States is a "Democratic Republic."
When we vote, we are voting for someone to represent us in government. If a candidate is immoral and "has too many flaws to list" and a Christian decides that this person best represents them, isn't there something wrong there?
They are all immoral With too many flaws.The United States is a "Democratic Republic."

reason com did a great article on voting best line at the end ,turn it off and do,something useful.I find this passage useful in voting:
Jeremiah 29:7 (ESV)But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.
In this verse, God was commanding the exiled Jews in Babylon. Babylon was not a righteous nation, but nonetheless the Jews were to seek its welfare.
All things considered, I vote in such a way as I believe will be best for the United States. This does mean the policy goals of a candidate are more important to me than a personality.
Then why do Christians get into bed with them? Particularly this one, (who does things that I won't even mention)They are all immoral With too many flaws.
Christians have no other choice. The question is why are Christians not standing for national leadership in their country? If they want a perfect person, they have to put forward someone who is flawless.Then why do Christians get into bed with them? Particularly this one, (who does things that I won't even mention)
And they are proud of it?
And they accuse people of not even being Christian if they don't also get into bed with this one?
They claim (with their votes) that this person best represents them. I believe them. They become just like him.
It is no wonder that the Bible says "Bad company corrupts good character." We are seeing it happen.
It is shameful.
It's how "best represents" is defined. Are you demanding that the president's personality best represents your personality? Or the president's moral character best represents your ideals? Is this what you think the vote is about? If so, then the media and popular culture has done it's job well on you.The United States is a "Democratic Republic."

yes their is ,voting is a not a mandate .Christians have no other choice. The question is why are Christians not standing for national leadership in their country? If they want a perfect person, they have to put forward someone who is flawless.
Wait, What?Christians have no other choice. The question is why are Christians not standing for national leadership in their country? If they want a perfect person, they have to put forward someone who is flawless.
Well, if you think Trump represents you, then whatever.It's how "best represents" is defined. Are you demanding that the president's personality best represents your personality? Or the president's moral character best represents your ideals? Is this what you think the vote is about? If so, then the media and popular culture has done it's job well on you.
On the other hand, if the platform (the policies) better represents what you believe to be right, as opposed to the platform of the other candidate, this is what you end up voting for, whether you understand it or not. When you cast a vote, you are voting for the policies of that candidate.

Christians have no choice but to get in bed with whoever they feel have the best policies for their country. Is does not matter who that person is? No politician is flawless, neither is anyone. As I said, they can either step up themselves and run for leadership or choose a flawless person if they find one.Wait, What?
Christians have no choice but to get in bed with Donald Trump?
Do you know what "the walk of shame" is?
