Evil prevails when good men stay idle. This is exactly what will happen if Christians do not vote for Trump. I cannot fathom why anyone who is a Christian would either 1. vote for Kamala or 2. not vote because you don't like either candidate. There should be no question or comparison of the two. I am not saying Trump is a model Christian but he is a saint compared to his competition.

He somewhat suggests a lesser of 2 evils analogy but the truth is any discerning citizen should see that Trump's America first policies are overwhelmingly positive and the only negatives relate to his personality and choice of supporting cast in his first term.
But I have seen improvements in Trump's attitude and hopefully he will clean house this time and hire/appointment smart people who will support his policies.

It's been studied and polled to death.

There are over 400,000 hunters not registered as well.

What Christian isn’t voting Trump?

The pseudo Christians ie, Lutheran's, Presbyterian's, Episcopalian's, the Uniterian weirdo's. Basically the whack job's with ordained lesbians.

Jesus Christ in Heaven will decide Who He wants where, when and how so that His purposes are fulfilled. He doesn’t ask men to compromise themselves so His plans are accomplished.

This lesser of two evils talk is nonsense. We have a duty to vote for representatives who will follow the U.S. Constitution…Trump is the best choice in that regard. Period.

But to say he - or any other politician/person - is the best hope for Christians is ludicrous. This world will fall away into darkness prior
to the tribulation of the anti-Christ and it is spiraling more that way everyday.

Putting our hopes in any man to stave off the path to Armageddon is a fool’s errand.

God decides.


And no where in God's Word are we not to participate in government.


If I do nothing Jesus will handle it?

While I agree, to many Christians though, Jesus and The Bible are the only thing they’ll listen to and follow. That is their government. Everything they do is based off the Bible, not politics. Of course they have the freedom to do that because of US politics, where you can just remove yourself from politics.

But they just don’t see either candidate as being Godly people, who are great representatives of Jesus Christ. I kind of agree with that too. I voted for Trump on Saturday, but the man is far from a Godly person, and shouldn’t be a representative of our religion. I don’t think it’s crazy that Christian people would decide to not vote in this election.

It is when you realize one candidate is going to push for codifying killing humans in utero at almost any stage of development. God will ask them why they offered no resistance to that and they'll be hemming and hawing standing on "principles" while others died. Mortal sin.

this is what I've been saying all along. when I was taking heat from the salty OnlyRons after the primary, this was the message. Trump is gruesome, but the alternative is dire

You are misconstrued here.

Government is here. Religion is spiritual, We are not to be of this world as in participate in things that would separate us from God. Politics is a design of man to rule. There has to be rule. God asks for obedience.


Some say you should allow God to rule over your life. That is truth scriptural. Not meaning to not participate in life.

They exist.

Apparently, they don't read their Bibles. God does not command us to separate from the world He commands us to change the world. You will not do that by not voting.

This is a great cop-out for Christians. I don't have to do anything, because God will take care of it. If God didn't want those widows and orphans to starve, he would give them food. I don't need to share with them.

Why do we even need preachers? If God wants someone saved, he can just do it. He doesn't need a preacher to spread the word, just like he doesn't need Christians to vote.

It would be most unfortunate if Christians stand idly by. That is not the purpose of your faith.

Voting has zero to do with it either.

I said nothing of the sort, yet Jesus does not need you to accomplish any of His plans. He wants you to participate but if you don’t, that doesn’t impede Him.

I don’t think voting or participating in politics is the purpose of faith either.
