In response to your comments

I received this comment on my latest post on Chuck Baldwin.



"I had no idea Mr. Baldwin was going to be in Springfield! I'm so out of touch. I concur with him on voting for a non-Christian over a Christian who does not support the Constitution. The President of the United States is entirely an office created by the Constitution, not by the Bible, so the holder of the office is bound only to uphold the Constitution. Character would be an issue for any man, and it's doubtful that good character can abide without Christ, but I wouldn't have a litmus test for that. If I only voted for Christians I would rarely be able to vote for any office. By the way, none of your brothers meet the constitutional requirements for President - yet!"

I would like to reply.

I think we agree that God is ( or should be) the foremost thing in our lives. Which then follows that the Bible ( the word of God) should be next, not our man made and erred constitution.

For me to consider voting for a man. He has to first, live by the word of God, second the constitution.
If you really research it more I think you would be surprised by the number of people running independently for all different offices, who are Christians, and who uphold the standers of the Bible. But I admit that I have not lived though nearly as many elections as you have=) But I would sooner not vote, then vote for a man I do not think completely for fills the requirements that I think a president needs. I will not be responsible for voting a man ( or woman) into offices who does not live out what God expresses so clearly in his word. I am a Christan. I only ( will) vote for christens. Remember, a lesser of evils is still EVIL.

In your comment you said; "The President of the United States is entirely an office created by the Constitution, not by the Bible, so the holder of the office is bound only to uphold the Constitution" I can not disagree more! As Christan's we need to make every single little thing in our life glorify God. We are supposed to apply Gods law to everything in our life. Just like it is in every other place of our life, the Bible needs to be our guide book in choosing our President the constitution comes second! Also God allowed us, and guided men to make the position of a President. There is not a single thing in our lives that do not belong to God. And we must live by the rules that he gives us. I have to say that I am shocked by how many time I have heard this said! I can hardly believe that someone can really hold these beliefs!

Edit: I apologize if I sound angry in this reply. I really wasn't. I just happen to have a strong opinion on this ( can you tell?) I really don't mind answering your comments.
