I had a boss one time who was a hardcore Apostolic woman. She was also legally blind, but that's not important. Her "rules" at her nursing home included that all the women had to wear DRESS uniforms - no slacks. And NO jewelry or make-up of any kind. She wasn't thrilled about the fact that some of the patients had TV's in their rooms and she certainly was not providing one in the common rooms for anyone who didn't have one. She was the roughest boss I've ever worked for, by the way.

Margie, we were indeed from the same area... You are not the only one that felt that way! LOL

[KeptByTheWord]

Jesus never came to create a perfect earthly kingdom. Because that is what his disciples and all his followers wanted. That is why they were so shocked when Jesus died on the cross, because they had seen his miraculous works, and knew he could call 10 thousand angels if he wanted to, and lead the Zionists to victory against the Romans. Yes, Jesus could have done that, but that was not part of his plan. His plan was for a different kind of kingdom, one that changes and transforms men's hearts completely.

You see, politics will never transform these earthly kingdoms into the utopia we desire it to be. The only way to live in peace, and happiness is carrying a cross, the cross of Jesus.

If Jesus had desired to change the politics of the world during his time, he could have, but he didn't.

Why do we still think 2000 years later that our political activities are going to bring about the change we desire?

THE ONLY CHANGE that works is a heart transformed by the power of Jesus, and no other political promises or performances will change that. This kingdom that Jesus introduced to us at Calvary is still in operation today, and no amount of politics (republican or democrat) can change the fact that there will never be peace in the world, but there can be PEACE IN OUR HEARTS.

Mormonism? Catholicism?

What changes did Catholicism make in our political system after a Catholic was elected to the presidency? The uproar when Kennedy was running was about like it is now with Romney running. Are we not chasing the same proverbial rabbit down the same dusty road?

And what about Obama's religion? I can't really define what he is.... Christian? That means Christ like and I am still looking for that. I do know he was in a church for 20 years that taught hatred, (or at least the pastor did), and Obama revered a pastor who used God's name in vain in cursing America. Boy, I don't recall any Mormon or Catholic going to that extent! I personally think we need to realize politics is politics and religion is....????? Wow! what is religion. A host of people on AFF, (who are supposedly Spirit filled, what ever that means), can't even agree on that!

One final question. Does God really care who we vote for? If He does we better get down to the business on deciding what His will is when I enter the voting booth! Don't you think?

Rose, have we talked about this before........ Do I know you? Do you know me???? Did you work for this lady too? (it was a nursing home).

Interesting interview. The Mormon faith is not Christianity. People are free to believe what they want but Romney wants you to believe he is a Christian and that simply is not true according to Ed Decker, a former Mormon Leader.

This man who was a former Mormon speaks about most Mormons being good people, but deceived. I guess with all the anti-UPC bashing done here, it might be good to pay attention to this as well.

I think that we agree on this to a point. I do believe that God does care who we vote for, and we will have to give an accounting for every vote that we do or do not cast. I would not be in the position of never having cast a vote for anything. At the same time, I am not thrilled with my choices this time. The differences between the two are quite substantial with each having 'evolved' in various ways over the course of time. The problem is that each has returned to their original positions on issues such as abortion and gay marriage. Romney moved from being anti-abortion to pro-abortion, and has now returned to being the anti-abortion candidate. Obama supported gay marriage (and anyone who believes differently has never lived in the state of Illinois), moved to being against for his first run for the presidency, and has now returned to his original position. Obamney Care is another issue I have, but as Romney claims healthcare is a state by state issue, I am willing to trust him for the moment. However, I will be keeping my eyes upon him in intense scrutiny.


Hoovie, would you support Bro. Booker, Bros. Godair, or Bro. Tenney for the position also. I can think of only a very few that I would be nervous giving that office to.

Oh, really? How much of the sermon did you hear to get some context? He didn't use God's name in vain. JW was saying that God will d**n America for the atrocious acts she has committed around the world.

Oh please!

Does God really care who we vote for?

I'm sure He would not like us to vote in support of abortion.
God cares about every aspect of our lives, that includes what we vote
for or against.
