How Are You Different?

Sure it's a big way, politics rule & govern an entire country.
This is about trying to preserve the country as it was intended by the forefathers - liberalism was NOT what this country was built on and succeeded under.

Tell that to the slaves

(YOU DON'T THINK SATAN WORKS THRU POLITICS??) I work against my enemy

Jesus was offered the power spot of politics in Satan's temptations; He didn't buy into it[/QUOTE]

And I'm not real sure what you mean by Pinnacle of acheivment? Are you referring to pride & power? If so, you're WAY off there & it's an inaccurate judgment on people's motive.
It's more like fighting & scrapping before you go down for the count.
I DO live here and don't want liberalism ruling over my country - is that so wrong?

As long as it doesn't become idolatry~and that's much of what nationalism is~idolatry.

I may be a citizen of heaven, but for now God has me right here and I have the freedom to exercise my worldview; something OT Christians didn't have who had tyrants ruling over them & persecuting them.

?Old Testament Christians? What are they? You mean Jews living under the OT theocracy?

I dunno which church you're talking about here -- not in my church and none of the churches I went to or hear on the radio use their churches for political platforms.
The ONLY time a church I know has involved itself in politics was to announce a petition that they hoped we'd sign that would leave our State's definition of marriage as btwn a man and a woman.
it was to combat homosexual marriages.
Nothing wrong with that. It's a MORAL issue and therefore spiritually important.

And I was HAPPY to sign it & so was my husband.


Why skip it? Can't we walk & chew gum at the same time?

How hard is it to take 1/2 hour out my day to go to the church gym and punch some buttons on a screen?
Is this too taxing??

For me to NOT vote is to violate my own Christian conscience in not doing ALL I can to combat liberalism which I view as a growing cancer in the land. More harmful to Christianity than ignoring it to say "I trust in God, I don't have to ACT to do anything"

sorry Jim, won't do it and it isn't even a logical consensus to me when we can do all of the above.

Personal liberty is fine~frankly though from what I've seen in the past 20 years this "Religious Right" political stuff isn't working out very well~putting trust and hope into the lesser of two evils.

LESSER OF TWO EVILS~~that's what this politicking business is all about, then hoping your guy doesn't sell out too much. I know you don't like your choices but I will repeat what I've said before:

In a choice of the lesser of two evils~evil STILL wins the day.
