Here is why a Christian MUST vote for Donald J. Trump.
First face the reality that Mr. Trump OR Hillary Clinton will be the next president.
Some of the following I wrote and some is plagiarized.
While both candidates have undeniable character issues, please consider that you are not voting for just Trump or Clinton when you vote for president. In fact, if it helps you, don't even think about voting for that person — think about voting for an administration and the platform behind that person.
When you vote for president, you are literally voting for thousands of people that come along with the top of the ticket and the party platform that they will implement. This year the party platforms are virtually opposites of one another and will take this country in radically different directions. So our country's future is not so much tied up in one person, but in the ideas that an administration of thousands will implement. That's how our government works.
Here is how Mariam Bell — who has worked at all levels of government for over thirty years — puts it in a recent column for The Christian Post: "We vote FOR the 4,000+ political appointees who will run all the agencies, departments and programs. We vote FOR the 3,000+ appointments to boards and commissions the next president will make. We vote FOR all those 300+ who will be appointed to the judiciary, including the Supreme Court — whose rulings will impact our country for the next fifty years, not just four. The next president will appoint a cabinet and has already selected a vice president."
Mr. Trump's choice for a running mate is a very conservative committed Christian.
Ms. Bell rings a bell — a liberty bell. Most of the liberty-stifling and dangerous policies that have been imposed on America over the past eight years were put in place by unelected political appointees in direct opposition to the will of the people.
This long list of political appointee offenses includes: the corrupting politicization of the IRS and the Justice Department; taxpayer funding of the abortion-and-baby-parts-selling Planned Parenthood; turning the military into a sexual social experiment, even to the point of paying for transgender surgery; federally imposed same-sex marriage; fining religious people for refusing to participate in same-sex ceremonies; forcing nuns to pay for contraception and abortion; forcing public schools to allow boys into girls showers and restrooms; lax border security; failure to enforce immigration laws; pay-to-play at the State Department by a political appointee now running for president (who is again under investigation by the FBI), etc. There is strong evidence she is guilty of treason and many felonies that are punishable by long prison sentences.
Want more of that? Vote for Hillary Clinton's administration who will continue the march of the liberal elites. Want a change? Vote for Donald Trump's administration who will go in a more constitutional direction.
If we are going to follow the teachings of Jesus and Paul — if life, justice, mercy and faithfulness are the most important matters of the law — then we should vote these issues above all others: life, national security, marriage, judges, and religious freedom. Life and national security because it involves the protection of innocent people. Marriage because it involves the protection and well-being of children who deserve both a mom and a dad. Judges because they can do great justice or injustice on every issue. Religious freedom because innocent people and the gospel are harmed when faithfulness is outlawed.
In fact, without religious freedom our ability as Christians to accomplish our primary mission — to know God and to make him known — is severely hampered. If the government continues to move in the direction it's been going, we soon won't be able to preach the Gospel freely. If for no other reason, Christians have to be involved in politics to prevent the government from harming our ability to live how Jesus commanded us to live and to spread the good news we were put here to spread.
So you see why I say a Christian MUST vote for Donald J. Trump. There is really no other choice. |
