Which issues are most important to you in the coming election?

Too bad there was no option for The Economy, which was only the biggest news story besides the election.

Dave G and anonymous man, funny how there is no response to my Bible verses- you are either with God or against Him- there is no middle ground. 

•  "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth
  with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to
  death. Their blood shall be upon them." Leviticus 20:13

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

—John 3:16

Repent now and be saved.

If you espouse anything other than Jesus, the Son of the living God's words are the Truth, you are deceived and in dire need of repentance.  I will pray for homosexuals, abortionists, women who facilitate abortionists, and anyone who do not believe the Word of Jesus. You are loved as equally as I am, whether you believe in Him or not. God does not hate, and I don't hate.  There are rules, not our rules but His rules. Repent so that you and your children will live!

Pray for the enemies of the Word of God.  The outcome of this election is a call to action by anyone who sees Barack Obama for what he is- an Athiest and a Communist who wishes to subvert the freedom we have seen in America up to now.

This is a somber day for America, and I will praise He who is control of all things.

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14

Disregarding that we are not to kill:

 Think about it this way-

The Bible tells us that God fashioned and formed us before he placed us in our mother's womb, he new us by name. If we allow abortions to become a method of sex control not only are we committing murder but we are calling God a liar. We are telling him that His Word is not true because a baby is not alive until it is born.... We are doing the same thing that was done to Jesus- we are denying ever knowing him. Barrack is not a Christian. He has lost values that were here before the foundations of this earth, how dare he call himself a Christian.

For all of the so called homosexuals, Christians around the world love you and we pray for you all the time. We pray that you seek God first and all the rest will fall into place. God did not place you on this earth to be persecuted but to use you for his Kingdom, one day you will realize this.

Education- we need to bring God back into the schools.

As far as National Security and Judicial system I trust God will guide us every day into electing our officials. God covers us with his blood and protects us.

Economy- God supplies our every need not the world.

God bless you all.

WITH ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT BEFORE THE ELECTION, I have concluded that I cannot vote for OBAMA. He believes Partial-Birth Abortion* is perfectly acceptable ... AND he has taken this atrocious procedure to another level.... he voted 4 times to deny comfort or care to 'babies born live from botched abortions'. Some of these babies could have lived if given the usual care allotted newborns, see http://www.nrfc.org.

I CONSIDER THIS MURDER.

Aren't you, the voter, as guilty as he, if you support (by voting for or giving money to elect) the candidate who intends to see that these procedures are available? When you vote, you are saying, "Hey, I approve of what you stand for - here is my vote... go to it, make it happen!"  If you don't vote/support that candidate, you are saying I do not approve of these activities. 

Obama has also stated that using aborted fetuses for stem cell research would be approved if he becomes president. Stem cell research might be a great things, but why use 'fetuses' when tissue from umbilical cords or from 20, 30 or 50 yr olds can be used. The drawbacks for researchers, I have read, are, more steps and longer processing times are needed using older cells, but they work!

Should Obama be our next president, I can envision women being 'paid to become pregnant' for the sole purpose of using the fetuses for experimentation.

SO WHERE DO YOU STAND? .... are YOU "for" or "against" Partial Birth Abortion? are YOU "for" or "against" letting the baby who survives a botched abortion - live? Voting Is Serious Business.. Do you know what you are voting for?

*  If you do not know what "partial birth abortion" is, please look it up on the web at www.nrlc.org/abortion/pba/diagram.html I watched the Congressional hearings on C-Span when brave nurses, who could not bear to keep this information to themselves, testified under oath what they witnessed taking place in abortion clinics where they worked. They wanted Congress, the nation, and world to know. And they want you to know...

We as Christians are required to speak the truth in love!!

If anyone speaks with hate, accusation, or condemnation they do not speak for Christ because Jesus came to save the lost.  Jesus came to give freedom from the law, but not to condone behaviors that will cause us pain.  I was a parole officer for 8 years and I worked in a juvenile detention center before that.  People do not need judgement, they need to be loved.  To all who read this here is the requirement of love.. it must come from the Lord Jesus Christ first.  We know how to love only because He loved us first.  Stop pointing fingers at each other.  Yes, if Jesus was here he would be hanging out with homosexuals, prostitutes, and women who have had abortions.  Not because he condones it, but because he knows the pain each and every one of these choices cause.  He would love these people, set them free with HIS perfect and powerful love...and they would be changed.  They would not continue to do the same things, make the same choices.  When we vote me must remain firm on the word.  SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS... Read your Bible find out what a kingdom choice is, would it align with the word. These are the choices He wants us to make, not wether or not we have more money to spend on more things.  Protect our children, protect our eyes, and protect our hearts.  The enemy comes only to steal, kill, and destroy our families and if we co-operate with the enemy he gets a two for one deal. 

When a woman becomes pregnant there is not ONE body anymore. Her body is now impregnated with another life, another body.  Her choice is not about her body alone. We women are being influence by lying voices telling us that it is our choice, it is our body.  Science tells us that the unborn heart starts to beat as early as the fourth week. The lungs, muscles and fingers are already starting to form. Many of the physical attributes of the unborn can be seen with the physical eye from day one.  Can any woman tell me that what she carries is not a human being? You can't dispute, what science has already proved.   Now besides science, every woman has a moral obligation to be informed, to be given the opportunity to choose life before choosing death.  The Pro-Choice agenda is not a Pro-life agenda, can't you see? CHOICE VS LIFE or better yet DEATH VS LIFE.Abortion, hurts woman, abortion takes away woman's dignity and robs us of our natural desire of being mothers. Abortion is a lie.Here is an excerpt from my book:

Dear Mommy, LISTEN! A voice from the womb.Dear Mommy,  The sun rises on the living, I feel its warmth. It is as if the heat of your womb and the heat of the sun becomes one. I am alive… I am in you and you are in me. Mommy, I hear your heart beat, can you hear mine? A new motion is in my body today, I can feel the growth and it causes me to want to hurry to be ready, to see you face to face. Only you and I understand what we feel.  May I tell you how I feel? I am created in your image and being formed in your likeness, I am small, but I can still reach for my thumb and savoir the taste of your womb.Mommy, this is just the beginning of a long walk together, I will disappoint you at times, I will bring joy and tears to your life….. Wait for me; wait ‘til I come. I am coming to see you; I am coming to walk through life by your side.  I love you mommy. Nothing to fear, for I know I am loved. I know you’ll welcome me into your world.  I am not an interruption or an inconvenience. I am your child, I am loved. The comfort of your womb is home to me for now, but soon in no time you will hold me in your arms.  Nourish me Mommy, continue to impart life into my small being, do not stop wanting me, do not believe when they say I am not yours, for I am yours, I am your child, I am your baby. I can’t comprehend time, I don’t know how long, I don’t know tomorrow, I just know I am here, I exist.  How wonderful, how amazing to feel that in no time I will open my eyes to the light, to see for the first time the faces of those who desire to hold me.

My life is in my blood, it is in the beat of my heart. I am a new creature, just made, just created for a purpose, with a divine plan. I live in you or rather you live in me.

Please consider "listening" to your baby's voice. I know it is not an audible voice, but I am sure that if you open your heart you will hear, if you open your eyes, you will see.

When you vote for the next president of this great country, remember the voice of the unborn that cries SAVE ME!  protect America, protect the unborn. God is waiting for us to do what is right, God will either bless us or condenm us. Do not let the blood of the unborn be in your hands when you vote.

Do not let the economy, for God says that He is our provider, Do not let national security be the issue, for God says that He is pur fortress our stronghold. He will protect us if we protect our children, His children.

Pray for America!

ALL of these issues, and many more, are vital to this election and the immediate future of our country. Unfortunatly, most of those calling themselves "christian" are much more interested in personal agendas, former parental political choices, maintaining their status, or some other world-oriented fiction than with a through knowledge of God's declared will in His Word.Because of their reluctance to separate themselves from the world's perverted point of view will cause great damage, not only to others, but to themselves as well. Distracted from the light of the Word, they wander farther away into spiritual darkness, and link arms with those already "condemned"(John 3:18) I challenge the members in this organization to examine whom they are seeking to please with their vote. Its either God, or "them". Whom do you account to? whom do you choose to be your "master"? Jesus said you cannot serve two. This alludes to the fact that you WILL serve One. Do you truly know whom it is you serve? So, who do you vote for? Jesus also said,"by their fruits you will know them". Perhaps we all should check the past fruits of the candidates and pay more attention to that than the current political rhetoric. By all means vote, but dont vote stupid.

Good Afternoon from Xpress

First time respondent.  I read the comments with interest and I think that is is singularly curious that people who use this site (Christian) have such diverse views in terms of how life relates to God's word.  There is a tendency me thinks, to reinvent God's word or perhaps re-interpolate (not interpret) to fit it to a sort of "feel good" experience we would like to believe existant due to relationships with friends or relatives or as a result of a life long belief or political agenda.  Sadly, it does't work that way.  God's word is inerrant.  It doesn't change and it is not subject to upgrade to fit any personal or political agenda.   As to the person who suggested that Jesus would be a little put out with us over the manner in which the question of homosexuality is approached,  I would suggest that you devote yourself to the Pauline letters so that you might become better acquainted with the Word as it bears on that issue.  It is also very true that Jesus gravated toward sinners because he came to the world to offer life to all, not just the "do gooders" if you follow me in the venacular.  Recall his reference to the Pharisees as a generation of vipers even though they were stictly adherent to the Mosaic Law.  As pertinent to the issue of Abortion, either visit my blog on this network or accept this as your compass.  Jesus said,  "Take heed that you do not despise these little ones for I say to you that in Heaven their Angels always see the face of My Father who is in Heaven" [Matthew 18:10]  "Let the little children come to Me and do not forbid them; for of such is the Kingdom of God" [Luke 18:15].  Jesus didn't say anything about sending children to him vis a vis Roe v. Wade.

God Bless You...Xpress  

I BELIEVE THAT ALL THE ISSUES ARE IMPORTANT. 

ABORTION: GOD DID SAY "THOU SHALL NOT KILL" THE MEANS JUST WHAT IT SAYS NO MATTER AT WHAT STAGE THE BABY IS IN (UNLESS CARRYING THE CHILD WOULD KILL MOTHER[ONLY REASON TO TAKE BABY])

EDUCATION:  ALL CHILDREN HAVE THE RIGHT TO AN EDUCATION.  AND WE (AS PARENTS) NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR CHILDREN HAVE THE SAME EDUCATION AS ALL THE OTHER CHILDREN.  WE ALSO, NEED TO GET MORE INVOLVED IN WHAT OUR CHILDREN ARE LEARNING AND DOING.

JUDICIARY: JUDGES NEED TO REMEMBER THAT THEY ARE TO UPHOLD THE LAW, NOT CREATING THEIR OWN.

TRADITIONAL MARRIAGES: GOT SAID THAT THOU SHALL NOT LIE WITH MAN THAT THOU SHALL LEAVE THEIR MOTHER AND FATHER AND LIE WITH WOMAN.  I DON'T HATE GAYS, I HATE THE DISEASE NOT THE PERSON. IN FACT ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS IS GAY.  I LOVE THEM DEARLY AND TELL THEM THAT THEIR LIFE STYLE IS WRONG.  THAT GOD LOVES THEM BUT HOW THEY ARE LIVING IS WRONG, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER SINFUL THING. HATE THE SIN, NOT THE SINNER

Well, I know that a woman is alloted the "right" to choose what she wishes to do with her body, however, if you believe in the bible then you will know what I am about to say.  The body is a temple of the holy ghost.  You are to treat yourself with respect.  The bible also commands us that thou shall not kill.  Even though we may choose to do whatever we wish with our bodies we will refrain from doing what is evil #1 and also what will cause one to stumble or become offended from the faith #2.  So, my friends to not be confused or mistaken about the movement of the right to choose.  You must choose and continue to ask yourself WHat would Jesus do?  Remember the verses about you having the right to eat meat but you would choose not to do so in front of a person who you know has a problem with people eating meat because it kills the animal.  So be wise.  Do you want to be responsible for leading someone astray?  And for those who do not believe yet.  God loves you and understands your desire to be listened to, heard, and respected however he must stick by his word and killing is killing no matter how young the child.  We just made different names for the child.  It says in the bible, Before you were formed in the womb I knew you.  So how can a child a gamet, zgote, or fetus not be alive if God allready knew them?

I think that regardless of our personal views that the right to choose should be made by the woman. Our country was founded on free will and the rights of all. If people can own automatic weapons and live on communes then why shouldn't a woman have the right to decide about her own body. Abortion may be wrong for me but not for someone else....God does not decide what we do every day....its called free will and thats what separates us from anilmal. If the republican party was so against abortion then elect a president with the back bone to make it illegal.

John McCain is ruining the republican party....he just stated in last nights debate that he doesnt think judges should be appointed because of thier belief on issues such as abotion which matter greatly in this country...he said that the only thing that matters in appointing justices is thier resume' and how muh experience they have...THAT IS DANGEROUS FOR THE UNBORN IN OUR COUNTRY!

It's the economy, stupid...

Abortion is the worst thing that this country has ever done. The only way we can overturn this horrible decision is to elect the person who will put Godly judges in the supreme court. So changing the judiciary is vital to ending abortion since, as I understand it, this is not a ballot issue but a judicial one.

All of the issues are vitally important. However,
abortion is MURDER, and "Thou shalt do no murder." is a
Commandment from GOD. If we do not stop this abomination, we will have no
legacy as "Christians". They will have been murdered before we can
"go and teach the world", and we will be responsible for NOT STANDING
UP, NOT DOING OUR DUTY, to stop this senseless slaughter. 99.5% of ALL
abortions are for convenience, not for the health or safety of the
mother. The number is now over 4,000 babies a day in America. GOD said, “I
knew you while you were in your mothers womb”.

NURSES, I BEG YOU DO NOT ASSIST IN THIS PROCEDURE; for GOD will hold you just as accountable as the Doctor.

AMERICA BLESS GOD!

BECAUSE

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!

I voted that Education is the most crucial because educating our young about traditional values not only at home but in our schools needs to be re-invented. The fact that so many schools do not even want our children to know that marriage and even procreation is only for those of the same sex, (biology 101), is alarming. So much is made now in the media about Lesbianism being so popular. In fact, the news almost makes it a desired life style for young women to explore. That is deplorable!

And in terms of abortion. Well, educating the young again on abstinence instead of "safe sex" and use of birth control is missing from schools and on television. Church is not the only place where morality should be enforced, what is missing in our nation is the intestinal fortitude to tell the ACLU and the Left, that doing what you want is not alright and that our children need to be educated properly, not raised by Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan.

This is a nation of freedoms, but being free does not mean being free of responsibility and morality. I strongly believe that education translates into more young persons understanding the life-long impact of abortion and acts of immorality in terms of homosexuality. These are choices, however, they are the wrong choices and education is more important than simply talking about these issues. I have done things to support my nation all my life, and one of those is to teach my young soldiers what is right, not what is easiest.

That is my opinion.
