Christianity and Who They Support?

     In this world there are all types of people and beliefs.  Just by turning on the T.V. and watching it for a few moments it will become evident that our world is different than the world God wants it to be.  When we look at why we live in a world that is contrary to God we are left with one conclusion:  It is because people want it to be that way. 

     In 2012 there is an election to choose our next President.  This man will be one who makes laws and controls the direction our country goes.  The decisions he makes in office will effect us for years to come.  Today we face some of the crisis because of the decisions that our former leaders have made in office. 

     Behind the curtain we see another change occuring.  A change that is taking us away from the serving of the ONE TRUE GOD.   Same Sex marriage is being voted in and the acceptance of homosexuality has become the norm.  Our nation is killing infants in the womb and the rise against the Christian religion and any religion that defies the ways of this world is being treated with hostility.  The reason this is happening is because of those who we have voted in, do not care about what God thinks. 

     There are Christians who are voting people into power because of Healthcare.  They are voting people in because of immigration or because of race.  People are being voted into office because people believe that such a person has a great economic plan.  Meanwhile these people who are coming into power do not care for the principle of God.   They do not follow the ONE TRUE GOD or His ways.

     I ask you a question Christian, why do you think that voting for someone who is contrary to God and his principles is O.K. with God?  Do you believe that Healthcare for our nation is more important than the Same-Sex marriage issue?  Do you believe how a person acts economically is more important than how they treat pregnancy or what they think about abortion?  Why do the things of this world seem more important to you than the things of God? 

     President Obama and others like him do not believe in the principles and ways of our Lord Jesus Christ, but you don't care about that do you?  As long as you get your Healthcare you are fine.  President Obama and others like him accept what God calls an abomination, but you don't care about that either, do you?  As long as he can change the economy you are fine.  Why are these more important to you than the things of God??  Why?? 
1 Corinthians 10:20-22
(20)
But I say that the things which the nations sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. And I do not desire that you should have fellowship with demons.
(21) You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot be partakers of the Lord's table and of a table of demons.
(22) Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

     If you are a Christian, then you are called and commanded and obligated to vote for someone who believes in the principles of God.  Any other vote is disobedience to God and a willful rebellion to Him.
Luke 11:23
(23)
He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
     This is an automatic placement of who and what you are.

     IF YOU ARE a Born Again Christian than you will support those who support the ways of the Lord.  Now some of you may say, "I am a Born Again Christian" but I don't believe God cares about politics or who I vote for.  I leave you with these quotes made by men of God who called these people to make a vote or decision:

Jos_24:15And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Joshua was asking the people to make a vote.  Either support the ways of God or support the ways of this world.  You can not have both so you have to chose one or the other. 

1 Kings 18:21
(21)
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
     In this story Elijah was also commanded the people to vote.  Either they worship God or they worship Baal.  They can not say they worship god but support the ways of Baal.

NUMBER 16 - PLEASE READ (Moses asks the people to choose between him or Korah.  All those who chose Korah was destroyed.)

     Please do not tell me that God does not care who you choose to support.  The bible is filled with examples of God destroying everyone and everything that decides to vote for men or women who do not follow God.

     Next time you cast a vote ask yourself:  What does this person think about God and His ways?  Does this person believe in and follow the ways of God?  

     If you have comments or you think I'm wrong show me where.  If I am right though I bid you to choose the right path and the right person.  One who supports the principles of Christ.
