God and Government

I grew up "Democrat" simply because that is what my parents were registered as. I also believed that "democrats" were the "not so wealthy" people and "republicans" were the "rich" people. Within the last several years, I've changed my views but just within the last couple I've strongly changed my views on politics. I've come to realize doing God's will is the right thing to do and when we do that God always provides for us. It's time for us (christians) to step up and do our part for the nation (under God), we've got to elect people into our government(s) that are willing to do the right thing.
Why should God continue to bless us while "we" are allowing abortions and gay marriage? I can't vote for somebody who is going to allow those things to continue. However, we have to be ready to do our part when abortion is illegal, we have to be willing to teach girls how to be mothers and be willing to adopt babies/children. I can proclaim to be 100% pro-life right now but if I'm ever approached by a girl who says she is about to have an abortion, I have to be willing to offer to adopt her baby. That offer would truly describe being 100% pro-life. When I was younger I believed that it was the womans right to decide on that issue but now I know it's not, it's the baby's right. A baby is not at fault if the mother "accidentally" gets pregnant, it's never the baby's fault in any situation so it's rediculous to abort the baby. God doesn't destroy life, He creates it.

Truthfully it's not the governments place to take care of the poor and needy, it's ours, however I do understand that the government does have to assist at times. I (Jaxon) gets government assistance but I'm not going to let that allow how I vote simply because I want benefits. If I vote for what is right, God will provide. God doesn't want people to be poor and needy, if we vote for what is right everything will be taken care of. We're God's people, not "democrats" or "republicans", I'm gonna vote for what God wants and I want what God wants for this nation. Seriously, would God vote for somebody that his killing His children?!

Issues that are blatant sins are first and foremost to the Christian voter. Certain foreign policies and and "fiscal responsibilities" are not as subjective to blatant counteraction in the Word of God, allthough I'm sure God has an opinion on our foreign policy. True religion is helping the poor and widow, (according to the Bible) and in Psalms God states that He Fathers the fatherless and protects the widow in His habitation. He would more likely inhabit a nation that doesn't kill the unborn, or endorse the sins of Sodom--no political party can end fatherlessness or hunger or poverty--only Him. We cannot keep endorsing "sin" as a choice, or we may as well say that murder or stealing should be a person's "right" as well. There are some issues that are debatable for the Christian community and have nothing to do with party--there are some issues that directly go against God's Word and are not up for debate if we are Christians.There are pro-choice republicans and pro-life democrats out there. Political party is not totally the issue, the issue is if we should elect a person that wants to kill babies that are born and even survive an abortion because of their original intent to kill it, raise my taxes so that welfare checks get bigger, allow and endorse homosexual unions, and tell Rick Warren on tv that the question about what his Christianity means to him is a "tough question". That is not a tough question to any true Christian.

I'm aware that it is not a democrat/republican issue however, I know God will take care of the economy when we settle the 2 major issues of abortion and gay marriage because in reality we are killing babies that God created to be used to glorify His kingdom. Another way that I look at is like this...just because we have a "choice" doesn't mean that a person killing somebody is right just because it's his/her choice. I'm not trying to argue with people it's just time for US to speak up, God is a part of the government, it's just that we have let our worldly needs interfere with His will for this nation He created.

It is a person's right, technically, to murder and steal--I belive that. It's a different story if our government makes it legal to choose to do so, and we just let God deal with them because we are pro-choice when it comes to murder--but anti-murder. Abortion issues are dealing with the shedding of innocent blood. The death penalty, (which without it, we would not have had a Savior crucified--so God must endorse it) is not dealing with the shedding of innocent blood according to our country's court system which has its flaws but does let more go free in wrong doing than punish the innocent. 9/11 dealt with the shedding of innocent blood. The same organizations around the globe cry out for action where there are injustices upon the innocent--genocide, etc. But they refuse to want to take action on behalf of innocent 9/11 victims, mass nameless graves of the innocent found in Iraq under their previous dictator, and 50,000,000 innocent babies. It goes back to Abel as his blood cried out from the ground, and runs through to revelation where the innocent are around the throne asking God when He will avenge their blood. Do we really think our country will prosper financially if we change this law or that law, and God will pull us out of our debt as a nation while we trample 50,000,000 more innocent in our own genocide issue here? That would be our biggest sign of arrogance and pride--thinking we can just change policy and "think" our way into financial gain (we can do it ourselves) all the while ignoring His stance ..ion and killing His blessing (or "punishment"--an exact Obama quote) of a newborn child. This election does have many issues within it. Economy, Immigration, Marriage, etc. I just feel that as long as we continue to slaughter babies in the name of our law and our "choice" that this will be our arrogant downfall and our nation will not be blessed in its economy or education system, etc. we won't protect the children in the womb, but expect our laws and policies to cover that sin up and bless that same generation in our school system and through their careers. I'm afraid it's a burden much greater than a national debt, or empty social security fund that we are handing down to our children and their children. it's the curse of being unwanted, unfathered/unmothered, and man's law being above God's law ultimately.
