"America's basic principles are on the ballot this November," says Wuthnow. "The choice is ours." A critical question iVoterGuide helps voters answer is, "What have those who have been entrusted with power as an elected official done with that authority in the time they have possessed it?"' - Charisma News
This
final point is bare naked politics. It literally is the platform for Donald
Trump. It is what he is running on and just like when he says it, it is nothing
but a lie. I do not wish to get dragged down the political rabbit hole however.
I just want to make two observations for our consideration.
1. Will America vote for politicians who will restore and maintain social order, knowing that where there is no social order, there is anarchy and, eventually tyranny?
This sentence is written as if the person it supports is the challenger, not the incumbent. I want you to seriously think logically just for a moment. If one has to restore social order than it is disorder right now. The conditions that Donald Trump rails against so fiercely, he created. Everyone knows he accomplished this be pitting people against each other. You are either blue or red. Liberal or conservative. Pro-mask or anti-mask. It is ridiculous. I actually saw him make the case yesterday that if we didn't count the states with democratic governors than our COVID deaths number would be lower. The saddest thing is that he pits Christians against the unsaved. This is what makes it all a plot from hell. Only the devil could figure out how to make Christians despise the very people they are supposed to love and deliver the Gospel to.
2. "Christian voters realize that citizens must always be aware of the potential for abuse by government, including law enforcement," says Wuthnow. "But we are also aware that 'no authority exists except from God' (Rom. 13:1) and that the police are 'a minister of God to you for good'" (v.4). The Choice Is Clear.
Yes it is clear that you are a raging hypocrite. The gall it takes to use Romans 13 after ignoring it at every turn in this crisis is just staggering. It just highlights how the NAR abuses scripture. The word of God means what God intended it to mean. Not what we can leverage it for at any given second. For months now the NAR has cried that Romans 13 does not apply to their refusal to obey their local governments regarding masks and public gatherings. Then they close their voting argument by reaffirming Romans 13 to brush away concerns about police brutality? It doesn't work that way. Bottom line here is there are political forces at work as always during election season. They target the church to do their bidding. The very best argument anyone can make is the lesser of two evils argument and then you must ask yourself if God will be impressed with your defense of evil, no matter how lesser you feel it may be.
