Here's the issue StMark...if you place a moral value on your vote and you vote for the lesser of two evils...you still voted for evil.
Ask yourself, who would Jesus vote for, Nero or Caligula? Answer: neither. Jesus wouldn't vote. He'd be out preaching on the mountain side on election day.
You really have no scriptural backing for this. Pure speculation.......

Now that's a "prophesy" that's coming true as we speak. But everyone's too afraid of the political bullies of the right wing to stand against it.

I'm voing my conscience after reviewing policies and crunching numbers....and I'm holding my nose and voting Obama. Not because he's a Messiah and America will be blessed if he wins (like Republican Christians think about their candidate), but because the policies are far better for the average American family.
All this persistent "right wing bashing" has become so tiresome.
So...The Right wing is evil, but Socialism/the Left wing is good.
Ok. We get it.

So people like me and most of the others on this forum, chose the one who we considered the lesser of the two evils and God neither blessed it or favored it. Unless you call the greatest economic crisis since the great Depression and 4500 U.S. soliders killed the blessing and favor of God.
Now you're hoping and suggesting people go vote for the "lesser of evils" again, when it didn't work out so good in 2000 or 2004.
I think in this election, the gulf between the 2 evils is MUCH wider and more obvious.
Obama certainly is not the answer to our problems.
I think that many of you preacher types are disconnected from reality. When I was a computer technician for LexisNexis I got laid off. When I went to find work I found myself competing with technicians from India here on specialized work Visas. I then did some research...the Government was issuing these work Visas to various corporations like they were CANDY just so they could hire cheap foreign labor...at the expense of AMERICAN FAMILIES. That's the only REAL American VALUES the Republican party lives by...the value of the almighty dollar. My family got washed out and just when we get back on our feet the gas prices skyrocket and the housing market tanks and we're gouged to death. That's food out of the mouths of my children pal. And as far as I'm concerned those who are colluding with corporate power (ON BOTH SIDES) are going to pay for every second of fear and agony our families have endured....along with the idiotic preachers who tell us to vote for those extortionists. They blame the housing problem are CRA....but what these idiots don't tell you is that most of these ARMs that went sour...DON'T QUALIFY under CRA! In addition the CRA doesn't demand ARMs, ARMs were just a tool divised by various lenders in effort to fulfill some of the CRA's requirements, then when they saw how easy it was to lend, lend, lend and make profit off the interest, they over extended by lending to those who couldn't pay. They were AFTER MONEY honey. And guess what...the Bible calls that USURY, and it's a sin!
I got news for you...darkness is coming to America. But it isn't the Democrats who will bring it...nor is it the Republicans. The real problem is that darkness is overwelming our land because the church has become the political lap dog of an earthly political establishment, just like the Catholic church of old! And it's all the political nutcase preachers who are doing it to us. Scaring us into voting the way the pulpit wants us too...news flash...church is BUSINESS. And guess what party panders to BUSINESS? It's not rocket science folks. The church is in bed working up a sweat with the Republican harlot. America is doomed as long as the church is in bed with the system.
Perhaps real Christians would either back out of politics and EVANGELIZE or just allow Christians to vote their concience and focus on EVANGELISM. Either way...the key to fighting the darkness is to spread the light...not elect John McCain!
How's that for a prophetic word?
Yeah Hilter had nothing to do with the darkness that descended upon Germany and much of Europe in the 1930s-1945. You need to read the Book of Daniel to see the connection between Political world and the spiritual world.
It would be good for you to read "Who Moved My Cheese" to help you come to terms with your life experiences.
Our answer and solution is not found the realm of Politics. Jesus said beware of the Leaven of the Herodians.

Keith...I'm curious...
Was this a tongues and interpretation message, or was it a straight prophetic word delivered in English?
Why would you wish bad upon someone just because you dont like who they vote for? That's kinda grotesque.
I know several good Christians who will be voting for Obama. I dont agree with their choice... but that doesn't make them bad people, and I don't think the need to suffer for their decision to vote for him.
Tongues and Interpretation.

If you was voting on economics alone, then I say fine, that's your perogative. However, there are serious moral and spiritual things that are at stake for America and we are at a crossroads
Bro...the only answer to America's moral and spiritual problems is the Gospel...not a Republican President. When I hear these kinds of threats it makes me fear and tremble inside because it only demonstrates how carnal the church has become...it trusts government more than gospel. The Government can only do so much. Government never has been able to resolve issues like abortion and homosexuality. Those are very serious issues yes, but the government is incapable of adaquately dealing with them. But government can pass laws that regulate a system to protect from extortion and protect the boarders. That's about it.
The answer to America's moral and spiritual crisis isn't going to come from Washington...it's going to come from private organizations and churches stepping in to educate and HELP those who are hurting.
I just stated that I heard a preacher make that statement and that may be what takes place in America. the folks that want Obama may get him and then wished they had not voted for him
You might be right. But here's the deal...I know for a fact you'd regret a McCain Presidency.
