With the U.S. elections less than a week away, I thought it might be interesting to ask the following question. Should born-again believers vote? Yes or No Why or why not? |

2 | Should Christian's vote? | Heb 11:13 | Robert Nicholson | 65514 | ||
Greetings New Creature: First of all I do not judge my brothers or sisters as to their personal convictions on this issue. However, a few thoughts for consideration. I have quoted Heb. 11:13, one could ask what does this have to do with voting? I believe it reminds us of the Christian's walk of faith and occuppation on this earth. We read of those who walked by faith and how "they confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims (exiles) on the earth" This world is not our home, we are "strangers" away from home and "pilgrims" going home. As such we are ambassadors for Christ (2 Cor. 5:20), it is our responsibility to be a postive testimony for our home country which is heavenly. Peace Robert |

3 | Should Christian's vote? | Heb 11:13 | JJO | 65648 | ||
Agree that Christians need to vote. Yes, our main focus should be on God, the Gospel, securing our heavenly home, BUT, God calls us to be light and salt to this earth also. The political process and candidates (however flawed and imperfect) do effect us and others. A prime example is what judges get appointed by elected officials. These judges then have a direct bearing on issues such as life and death (abortion), prayer in schools (remember the pledge one nation under God judge?) using some of our tax dollars for Christian schools, etc., protection of our wives and children from pornograhpy, etc. I want candidates and judges who support judeo christian values. Elected officials also effect us by tax laws (i.e. how much of your paycheck you can keep) and many other important issues. Lastly, the phase 'all that evil needs to truimpth is for good people to do nothing' does apply somewhat in this situation. We need Christians to vote! |
