I'm not American, so I wouldn't vote for him in any case, but an adventist running for president raises certain interesting issues...
First of all, adventists have taught that USA is the beast from the earth spoken of in Revelation 13, the one that "had two horns like a lamb, but was speaking like a dragon". Obviously it'll be interesting to see how adventists will respond if an adventist is elected as a president. Will adventists be convinced to have a second look at Revelation 13, or will they conclude that an adventist for the time being is the "head" of the beast? I can see that there would be some lively discussions about this if Ben Carson indeed were to run for president.
Secondly, adventists have traditionally been non-combatants, and the church has leaned towards pacifism. Now, a president is obviously the commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces. Will an adventist president be willing to go to war? And will adventists continue to be granted status as conscientious objectors if there was a draft?
Finally, how would an adventist president deal with the sabbath? Would he feel free to do political work on the sabbath? Is fulfilling presidential duties on the sabbath in accordance to the fourth commandment?
Just a few thoughts...
I think the republican party should nominate him, It would really help the republican party's image, even if he doesn't win. Democrats won't be able to play the race card.
I would personally vote for him.
