  Well I'm tired of all the the debate and the bible verses being taken out if context to suit the situation . Maybe Romney needs to win since they're are so many against him. And perhaps God will manifest through him.. Remember the verse :
  When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

  
  So whoever wins ... It is what it is

  I am a Baptist pastor who has been asked many times "who should I vote for"? The first part of my answer is always "never vote without praying first".
  I matters not if it is a vote cast for a person, or for law, or for a referendum, pray before you vote. I hear many religiuos voices intimate that we should vote for the 'christian' candidate over any other. Well, that may not always be true. Being a christian does not qualify the person for the position they are running to fill. Let us not forget the Bible tells us 'God takes down rulers and He raises up rulers.
  Throughout the Old Testament, Israel's history is filled with kings that God allowed to rule that 'did evil in the sight of the LORD'. God's chosen people did not always have a Godly king, yet God used whom He raised up for His purpose.
  The second part of my answer is 'you are not voting for a religious leader, but a civic leader'. I know the world would be a better place if all public leaders were 'religious'. But, of what religion? Jesus prayed the great prayer in John 17 on behalf of all believers from his day forward that though "we are not of this world, we are in this world". I will stand in unison with all who say we should do our best to change the government for the good, by voting..YES..AGREED. But, also remeber while Jesus was on the earth, he did not try to overthrow the government. Quite the opposit. He said render to Ceasar that which is his, and unto God that which is His.
  My main point is this. When you don't have a 'christian'(not self-proclaimed, but a Christ-like) candidate to vote for, you must choose the one who will do more for promoting your beliefs and not hendering them.

  You are to busy getting Romney elected to spend time on this now.
  Go Romney/Ryan!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  When you get a chance check out "When Governance Worked" on Amazon.com by myself. If you are interested send me an address and I'll forward a copy. Some say it would make a good piimer for legislators and congress.

  I am a Christian. The MOST important value I have is that Jesus is Lord and savior. Like atheists, Mitt Romney rejects the divinity of Christ. Unlike atheists, Mitt Romney pushes a false gospel. The Bible is clear about which is worse. Mitt Romney might share some of my values, but on the only one that truly matters, he is worse than wrong. If I cannot trust Mitt Romney on the most important issue ever, why would I trust him to lead the country.

  Here are some Bible quotes that address how we Christians should deal with Mitt Romney and others to profess a false gospel:
  2 John 1:10
  If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting,
  2 Timothy 4:3-4
  For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
  1 John 4:1
  Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
  Romans 16:17-18
  I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
  Jude 1:1-25
  Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ: May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. ...
  Matthew 7:15
  “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
  Colossians 2:8
  See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.
  2 Peter 2:1-22
  But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; ...
  Psalm 26:4-5
  I do not sit with men of falsehood, nor do I consort with hypocrites. I hate the assembly of evildoers, and I will not sit with the wicked.

  Mike, I am 65 and a 2 tour Viet Nam Vet. I am very lost in the current political mess we have in this country. I fought for all the rights of the Constitution as a young man but everyday someone or some group with an agenda wants to kill those rights. I am not so much concerned about myself as I am for my kids and grand kids, their future is lost in political red tape and corruption. Even is Romney wins, it will take generations to recover from the Obama mess in the last 4 years. I live in Ocala and will be coming to see you tomorrow, really looking forward to it.
