CHRISTIANS WHO HAVE BEEN TAUGHT THAT THEY SHOULD STAY OUT OF POLITICS, AND NOT VOTE SHOULD KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME GOD’S PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LED ASTRAY BY LEADERS.

Jeremiah 50:6 (KJV) “My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.”

Politics is not the only evil that we have to contend with in life today, but it is the one thing used to elect those who will rule over us. There are over 208 KJV Bible references to the various forms of the words choose and chose, and among these are references to choosing leaders, and representatives.

If “politics” is too evil for Christians to participate, what about the rest of the world? We live here for now, and someone will govern or control how we live in our nation. From the Declaration of Independence to the election of the first President each colony had to choose representatives, and the representatives had to report back to the colonies. George Washington was elected by those eligible to vote on behalf of the colonies they represented. That has not changed, but some Christians have been taught or chosen otherwise to opt out of choosing who will rule over them.

Christianity is under attack in our nation and many Christians have chosen not to resist evil. No matter the personalities, God always has a choice. Since Jesus is not on the ballot, all others have sinned and come short of the glory of God. The only real bottom line choice is which of the candidates has demonstrated historically respect and honor for our God, and His people; and which one has demonstrated historically disrespect and contempt for our God, and His people.

Remember, true history tells on everyone and everything, especially, when their plans are written and available for public review and discussion. In their National Party Platforms they state in writing their plans for the nation if they are elected. Many Christians are straining at gnats and swallowing camels by the truck load. Christianity is under attack, Communism, Socialism, Marxism, etal, homosexuality, gender confusion, child mutilation, parental rights being denied, and many other evils, and abomniable things in the nation, and many Christians are straining at gnats, and refusing to resist the many evils in our nation. Spiritual wickedness in high places is in our faces daily, and no doubt about it there will be an election and some one and their party will lead us away from these thing and back to our Christian foundation and our God, OR further away from Christianity and our God. Regardless of the outcome of the election, and regardless of whether you vote or not the consequences of the result of the voting will be a factor in life and the direction of the nation toward God or away from God. Resist evil now or live with evil later.

So, you don’t like what many of you call “mean tweets”, and a few choice words here and there, and whatever else you have found fault with, there are other things that are more important. Although all unrighteousness is sin, all sins do not have the same consequences. AND, remember that for the Christian our God defines what is good, what is evil, what is abominable, what is righteous in His sight, and what is unrighteous in His sight.

God has never had a perfect or flawless person in any leadership position in the church or the nation, but He has always had someone He could or would use. David was a man after God’s own heart, yet he did some things right, and some things wrong. I chose to mention David because he is one of the more familiar characters in the Bible. God chose David flaws and all. Jesus chose Peter flaws and all. Do you not remember reading where Jesus was challenged because of who He said He was and responded in John 14:11 (KJV) “Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.”

Whether you read the OT or the NT choosing leaders in a common occurrence. When Judas did not work out as one of the original twelve, another had to be chosen. The disciples were told what to consider as they looked to choose a replacement. They chose two as best they could, and then asked God to show them which one of the two. They cast lots to see which one God had chosen in Acts 1:26 (KJV) “And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.”

The word vote is not in the KJV of the Bible, but the word choose is, and the process of choosing and casting lots is also in the Bible. The process is still the same. We make our best selection based on scripture, and ask God which one. Not voting is not an option. Choosing which one will turn the people, and the nation to God is the real issue in any election.

We have two candidates with their party platforms. The real choice, and the answer to the real question is which one honors our God historically in words, and in deeds. The histories, the policies, of all are open before God. To be passive is not resisting evil, and Christians are instructed to submit to God and resist the devil. James 4:7 (KJV) “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

In my lifetime, the Bible, prayer, the Ten Commandments have been removed from schools and many other public places. Now, we are living in the aftermath of all of these changes away from our God. Many Christians quote 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”, BUT, are you/we going to do this in choosing leadership that will turn our nation back to our God?

Many are old enough to remember, and know that before the changes our nation looked like Deuteronomy 28:1-14. Now, after the changes, it looks like Deuteronomy 28:15-68. What happened? Christians stopped resisting evil and stopped participating in the governing process. The salt and light stayed at home, and even allowed Christians organizations to be taken over by evil in a nation that came into existence because of those who prayed to their God – our God – for deliverance from tyranny and oppression. There is something very wrong when Christians are not welcome in organizations they founded, funded, and directed for decades to honor their God. Now, our God is dishonored and Christians are persecuted.

Personally and individually our accountability is to God. Blaming your actions and decisions on others is not wise because our individual accountability is to God. God has had problems in the past with leaders leading His people astray, and Jesus warned that if the blind lead the blind they both will fall into the ditch. Study Ezekiel, and Jeremiah to see the correction of the Lord. Even in Malachi, which is a book of correction, priest are addressed in chapter 2. When God corrects, He corrects from the pulpit to the back door. I have heard many messages from Malachi 3 correcting the people, but not a one from Malachi 2 correcting the priest. WHY?

Christianity and our nation are under attack from within. The war is on, believe it or not. Remember what was said to the tribes of Gad and Reuben when Moses called the tribes to go to battle and they refused because they were comfortable. Read Numbers 32 and verse 23 in particular. Numbers 32:23 (KJV “But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.”

We are exhorted to study.

2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

We are exhorted to prove all things. Examine, discern, investigate.

1 Thessalonians 5:21 (KJV) “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”

We are to search the scriptures. Look for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Learn of Him as Jesus said. Matthew 11:29

John 5:39 (KJV) “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.”

Acts 17:11 (KJV) “These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”

What if you are taught things that contradict other scriptures or your heart condemns you? Assuming that you do have a working knowledge of the scriptures, what do you do when you are conflicted within? Do you just accept, and go with the flow, or do you seek the Lord and search the scriptures until peace comes, and the conflict is resolved because you now know what is written. “IT IS WRITTEN” IS THE BOTTOM LINE TO AND FOR ALL QUESTIONS AND CONTROVERSY. Jesus looked to the word of God and we look to the word of God. Paul warned Timothy to shun and vain babblings. 2 Timothy 2:16. Paul also warned him about foolish and unlearned questions. 2 Timothy 2:23

SCRIPTURE HAS VALUE.

2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)  “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”

Knowing what has happened before and what God did about it brings hope in a time when the will of God is unknown. Knowing what He did before does bring hope. None of these things are new to our God and our Father..

Romans 15:4 (KJV)  “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.”

We are to work out our own salvation. Our accountability is to God. He is the judge of all things, and all things are open before Him.

Philippians 2:12 (KJV) “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”

Romans 14:12 (KJV) “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.”  

Job learned that it was not wise to speak words without knowledge. Job 35:16, Job 38:2. Repeating, and acting on the words of others without knowledge, and understanding, and wisdom is never wise. The only exception I know of is when there is a specific known prompting of the Holy Spirit by the discerning of spirits. Otherwise, wisdom, knowledge(scripture), and understanding are a must. We are to know what we believe, and why we believe what we believe. 1 Peter 3:15 (KJV) “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” Blaming others does not work. Adam had an instruction from God. And of course remember that God asked Adam who told him that he was naked. He blamed Eve, and Eve blamed the serpent. The blame game did not work then, and it will not work now.

Who told you that Christians should stay out of politics and not vote? Where is the scripture? Where is the principle? There are doctrines of God the disciples wrote about often referring to the law and the prophets and the revelations that came to them. There are doctrines of men like the Pharisees, Sadducees, and scribes who Jesus corrected regularly. And, there are doctrines of devils. Choosing is a way of life. There is always the need to choose between good and evil. Passivity and apathy are never wise choices. Also, know this that one of the men Jesus chose was a zealot, and another collected taxes. Among the men Jesus chose were businessmen, tax collector, politician, physician, and two with a mother wanting to oversee their career advancement.

Matthew 9:9 (KJV) “And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.”

Luke 6:15 (KJV) “Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,”

Acts 1:13 (KJV) “And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.”

WHO TOLD YOU NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN POLITICS OR VOTE? WHERE IS THE SCRIPTURE? The political world is as it is because people are involved. Some do good things. Some do bad evil things. Some play by the rules. Some break the rules. Some are vicious. Some are kind. Some are deceitful, lie a lot, and devise evil in the darkness behind closed doors set to intimidate and use extortion to get their way. Some are honest and speak the truth in the open. Some want to be clear and specific to make known the purpose. Some choose to be vague and ambiguous to allow room for manipulation and reinterpretation later. This is the good and the evil at work in the nation. Someone will want to control, and others will want to govern with the consent of the governed. VOTERS CHOOSE WHICH ONE THEY THINK IS BETTER FOR THE JOB. HOWEVER, AT THE END OF THE DAY, GOD IS THE JUDGE OF ALL THINGS, AND NO ONE ESCAPES THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD. THEY EITHER DID GOOD IN HIS SIGHT OR THEY DID EVIL IN HIS SIGHT.

Remember that Jesus walked in the earth as a man, and He did not consider it too dirty or too evil for Him. He came from glory and did not consider Himself too good to be here, or associate with fallen man – flawed men – imperfect men, unrighteous man. If He had, we would not have had a redeemer, a savior, a reconciler, or a mediator between God and man.

Woman to woman – do what you want to do, but don’t send me the bill. You and your partner should take care of that. Finish what you started.

For years I have heard those who objected to our founding Christian values insist that morality could not be legislated, but for some time now they have been legislating theirs.

Every law has a moral code attached to it. There is no vacuum void of good and evil or right and wrong. Some things are right and other things are wrong. Stealing is wrong, period. A bad childhood is no justification for stealing. Yet no matter the crime there are those who seem to think that any excuse justifies the crime.

Lawlessness and anarchy are not the American way of life. Our original moral code served us well and the results was mostly law abiding citizens and low crime. The new moral code teaches hate and has resulted in high crime, lawlessness, destruction of property, and the loss of many lives. And, not just lawlessness but disrespect for law and those who are to enforce the laws. Yes, there is corruption, but ALL are not corrupt.

Just so you know, those who promote defunding the police have their own private security, and some at tax payer expense. Every problem we have can be traced back to changes in our moral code. Remove the Bible, remove prayer, remove the Ten Commandments, and now we live the results of those who wanted to fundamentally change the USA. Go back to the beginning and you will see what is wrong now, and it is not hard. Start with a Webster 1828 Dictionary, and a New England Primer and you will see what was taught in school. In the beginning our children were educated, and taught right from wrong. A child had to choose to do wrong knowing the consequences. Now, they are indoctrinated, taught that there are no moral absolutes. Many believe this until something bad happens to them personally. How quickly they come to believe that somethings are wrong.

Now that some states has decided to return to our original moral code and teach our children what is right and what is wrong their are those who object. The question to consider is how did we mover from neighbor helping neighbor to neighbor hating neighbor, and from the Golden Rule to no rule? The answer is simple. “They” legislated their morality and now the USA has been fundamentally changed into a nation that we never were, and were never meant to be.

Our children have been taught lies, but older Americans should know better. Life was better when truth was our standard, and honorable men were in leadership. Lets get back to our beginning when a lie was a lie and everybody knew it. Repeating a lie will not make it true, but Americans must do their own research instead of blindly depending of their favorite news source.

The real division in the nation is between those who know the truth, and those who have believed lies. Our true history and our way of life made us number one in the world in good things, and we were respected as a nation. This new morality had brought us disgrace and disrespect. I want the nation that I grew up in as it was before all of the changes. OUR ORIGINAL MORAL CODE WAS GOOD. THE NEW MORAL CODE IS BAD. WORKING AMERICANS ARE HURT MORE THAN OTHERS BECAUSE THEY ARE TAXED TO PAY THE BILLS. CREATED BY THE NEW MORAL CODE WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OUR NOT. Take the time to see what tax dollars are paying for, and who is benefiting. – certainly not working people.

REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU VOTE YOU ARE VOTING FOR ONE OR THE OTHER, AND ELECTIONS DO HAVE CONSEQUENCES. CHOOSE WISELY. YOUR LIFE AND THE FUTURE OF YOUR CHILDREN DEPEND ON IT.

Our nation is in trouble and those who hate us have positioned themselves, and those who agree with them in places of power. How did they get there? Whether legally, lawfully, or whatever, they got votes to put them in office. Somebody voted for them, but are they voting for those who voted for them? Now that the truth has been revealed, and is coming to light almost daily, they are fighting with all they can devise or make up to remain in power. They have been depending on the masses remaining ignorant and or apathetic; and blindly following, as in the past.

Between ignorance, apathy, and blind party loyalty they have enjoyed ruling and even controlling the people by ignoring our Constitution, breaking many of our laws, and failing to enforce others. In case you have not noticed, working people, law abiding citizens, small businesses, veterans, the elderly, and honest Americans are the ones who have been harmed by the changes, suffered lack, and loss while our enemies prosper at their expense. Hard working tax paying Americans are facing higher taxes and armed IRS agents to pay the debt created by certain politicians – debt that has nothing to do with the good of the nation.

The sad thing is that many well meaning trusting Americans actually voted for what we are living with now because of unquestioning party loyalty, and playing the blame game based on believing media lies; and not paying attention. The young have been taught lies, but older Americans should know better.

The United States of America is a Constitutional Republic, with a Constitution, and the Rule of Law where our laws come from the people and are agreed on by the people, not dictated by individuals or special interest groups. We are not trying to “destroy their Democracy” they are trying to destroy our Republic. Special interest groups are dictating to us how we should live, what we should believe, what we can and cannot have, who can stay in business and who cannot. As a matter of fact those who hate us have been step by step implementing their plan to change from who we were designed to be. They have used crisis and in some cases created crisis to advance their agenda.

Who voted to allow our flag to be desecrated while other flags are being flown in our nation without penalty? Do you know who voted for the desecration of the American flag? The Supreme Court made a ruling, but the Supreme Court does not make law. Another thing you should know about judges is that judges are not conservative or liberal in their rulings. Judges are Constitutional or unconstitutional, meaning that they rule in line with the original intent of Constitution or against the original intent of the Constitution. The US Constitution is not a living evolving document as some have said. It is set and has in it standards for each branch of government and for the states; and procedure to amend it if necessary; and executive orders is not one of them. There are those who tried to follow the procedure to overturn a wrong Supreme Court Ruling about our flag, but the last effort that I know of failed to pass by one vote. Do you know who voted to desecrate our flag? Have you been voting for those who voted against protecting our flag? Flags represent the nation. Where in the world would any country or nation allow its flag to be desecrated and another flag flown? How does an elected official take the oath of office and desecrate the flag at the same time? Maybe they are just used to blind trust, and knowing that few Americans actually know the Constitution well enough to know the right or the wrong of a ruling. Ignorance and apathy are used to the advantage of those who hate us. Many wrong things have gone under the radar, because many follow blindly and others do not care until it comes to their house. As long as many continue to vote without thinking and paying attention we all suffer the consequences.

Life was better in these United States when our flag was honored, our Constitution was followed, and our laws were respected and enforced.

Here is a link to how they voted. Voting records tell a lot about who you vote for. Search voting records yourself and see if those you voted for are voting for your good, for what is good for the nation, or if they have a different agenda. If they love the nation, they will vote one way. If they hate the nation, they will vote another way. If they cater to special interest groups, and other large contributors, they will vote that way. You need to know how they vote, and why they vote, so you will know how to vote in the future because voting for them either helps you and the nation, or hurts you and the nation. REMEMBER THAT YOU LIVE HERE.

A partial copy of vote record is below for quick reference to see what happened in your state. However, I would recommend going to the site and reading the entire record and learn how to check voting records for yourself. How those you voted for to represent you may not be representing you. Do you agree with how they voted on this? I see no way to desecrate the flag and take the oath of office to defend and protect the constitution of the nation. Both of these cannot be true. When citizens do not pay attention, and blindly vote D, R, or I, they allow ignorance and apathy to be used against them by those who mean to do us harm. When citizens do not know the Constitution or how our three branches of government are supposed to function tyranny, anarchy results.

You live here. Are you enjoying the lawlessness, and riots, and disrespect for our flag and our Constitution?

YOU LIVE HERE, BUT ARE YOU ENJOYING HOW YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN LATELY. WHAT’S DONE IN WASHINGTON BY THOSE ELECTED TO SERVE US CAN HURT OR HARM – MAKE LIFE BETTER OR WORSE – PROTECT AND DEFEND OR DESTROY. HOW DID YOU VOTE? HOW DID THEY VOTE? CAN YOU REALLY TRUST THEM WITH YOUR VOTE AGAIN?

A 2/3 vote was needed to overturn the wrong ruling and follow the procedure to amend the Constitution to put things back in order. Did you know that the courts do not have the final word. The people have the final word, but the citizens need those they elect to follow the Constitution and the Rule of Law instead of advancing their party agenda. In every election we will end up with a Democrat or a Republican because these are the only parties on the ballot in all of the states. Have you read their National Party Platforms? No one deserves blind trust or total loyalty. Dictators require this. Have you noticed different opinions being banned and censored in a nation where we have the Constitutional right to free speech and freedom of the press. We are Americans and our elected officials are accountable to us, not us to them. They serve with the consent of the governed. What are you consenting to when you vote? If you do not know, this is a very good time to find out. Every election going forward will take us back to the free people we have been from the beginning without a class system, a dictator, or king; or to a different form of government like Socialism, Marxism, or the like, where there is a dictator with a ruling class where the people have no rights. FREEDOM OR BONDAGE ARE THE CHOICES. CHOOSE FREEDOM. YOU WERE BORN FREE. WHY CHANGE? IS BLIND PARTY LOYALTY MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU THAN FREEDOM? PAY ATTENTION TO HOW THEY VOTE. YOUR LIFE, AND WAY OF LIFE DEPENDS ON HOW THEY VOTE. DON’T JUST LISTEN TO MAINSTREAM NEWS, AND CAMPAIGN RHETORIC. CHECK THOSE WHO ARE CENSORED. CHECK THOSE WHO HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION. AND CHECK THOSE YOU DISAGREE WITH. YOU MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING, OR FIND SOMETHING ELSE YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER. ONE OPINION IS A DICTATORSHIP, AND ACTIONS STILL SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. YOU NEED TO KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. USE OTHER SEARCH ENGINES. WATCH OTHER MEDIA OUTLETS BESIDES THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA GIANTS. ANY AND EVERY CONTROVERSY HAD MORE THAN ONE SIDE – LOOK AT ALL OF THEM AND THINK FOR YOURSELF.

DROP THE LABELS AND STUDY THE CONSTITUTION. AFTER ALL IT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND, NOT POLITICAL OPINIONS OR COURT RULING THAT VIOLATE THE CONSTITUTION. WE ARE TO BE GOVERNED NOT CONTROLLED. THERE IS A BIG BIG DIFFERENCE. CHOOSE LIBERTY, CHOOSE FREEDOM, AND DO NOT VOTE FOR THOSE WHO TAKE AWAY EITHER. LISTEN, AND IF/WHEN POSSIBLE RECORD WHAT THEY SAY, BUT ALWAYS WATCH HOW THEY VOTE.
