More or less. Supposedly it'll determine what to do in the NEXT ROUND of voting.

Well, without knowing more, I think they set it up so that any decision needs 50% of the people to endorse and none of the options have that. Think of it like a primary.

The poll was cut off about a week early. Last time I had checked, IIRC #5 was sitting at around 48% and only 10% of the CF population had voted.

Hmm. Sounds like the percentage of Americans that vote in a non presidential election cycle.

Here are the calendar dates for the remaining, upcoming state primary elections according to both chronology and state names. In my opinion, the state primaries are just as important as the General election. As of today, about 22 states have yet to do their primaries, and 5 states have the last day of voting for today, the 4th. How many allow for early voting, I don't know.

I am praying for as many conservative, right-leaning victories as possible. Praying God will get his People out to vote. Praying the Lord will move the minds and hearts of voters to vote for the right people.

God’s people are the light and the salt of the earth (Mat 5:13-14 ).

Salt preserves.
Salt make something more desirable.
Salt is a vital nutrient and thus nourishes.
Salt affects the entirety of that to which it is applied.

God wants true good to come forth in society. No true good will come forth in society unless God brings it forth through His people, primarily by means of prayer and preaching/teaching God's Word. (Matthew 9:38; 1 Timothy 2:1-2; Jeremiah 29:7; Psalms 119:130;107). Consequently, the Church has the duty and responsibility to effect positive change in society by such means. If such good does not come forth, then the responsibility lies largely at the feet of the Church. Such positive change encompasses the outcome of the US and other national elections. Therefore, the Church of God has the duty and responsibility, as salt and light, to vote and pray for the current and future elections, ballot measures, referendums, etc.
If the Church neglects the political arena, then there will be plenty of evil to occupy ourselves with.

It is difficult, if not impossible, for the Church to exercise the necessary faith to positively effect the outcome of the elections if it believes the claim that moral decline in society is a precondition to the 1 Thess. 4:17 Event. However, such supposed inevitable decline, as a precondition to that event, is certainly not Scripturally supported.

Christians must think, talk, and act as if we have the victory in the political arena. Believe for it, pray for it, and fight for victory in all areas of society.

Ok...Im going to sound somewhat liberal to a few of you by what Im about to say but here goes...

I'm not sure what the big deal is in letting people state their opinion. Is God not big enough to deal with that? Are we not big enough to deal with that? Why are we so threatened by someone else's opinion? Granted...like I stated in the poll thread...I would like the option to turn certain peoples siggys off while keeping those I like on...but who cares what they say? Why is it always us against them? I guess I've belonged to other forums who are, and always will be, far worse than this one. So what I've seen here is pretty tame in comparison.

Here's another thought to ponder...doesn't the Bible say we're not supposed to argue about these types of issues but rather show them love...
Romans 14

The Danger of Criticism

1 Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong. 2 For instance, one person believes it’s all right to eat anything. But another believer with a sensitive conscience will eat only vegetables. 3 Those who feel free to eat anything must not look down on those who don’t. And those who don’t eat certain foods must not condemn those who do, for God has accepted them.

Now I know the issues we are talking about are different than this...but I don't think arguing like we have been about this is winning anyone over to Christ. Do you?
Of course we can argue and win souls. Paul argued strenuously and so did Christ. They also used some heavy labels for certain of the godless and false brethren while also operating in the Love of God. Of course such arguing/debate should be conformed to Christ-likeness.
