VOTE! STOP BEING IGNORANT, PICKING OUT YOUR "PET SINS" AND HYPOCRITICAL!

Let me admit at the start ... I am personally bothered by the ignorance, hypocrisy and out singular passion to get PRESIDENT Barack Obama out of office ... "by any means necessary". For the Christian faith in me I do not understand how so called "conservative Christians" (by the way, Christians should not be labeled as "conservative" or "liberal" primarily, but as CHRISTIANS- followers of CHRIST); can in any way, shape or form support former governor Willard Mitt Romney with a clear Christian conscience. Yet, popular religious personality after religious personality come out in support of Governor Romney over President Obama- often referring to Governor Romney as the "lesser of two evils". Persons who have come out in support of Governor Romney over President Obama include: Dr. Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, Pastor Robert Jeffress, many, many more members of the Southern Baptist Convention; a few from other national Baptist conventions and still a few more from across evangelical church lines. With respect to those Christians who claim they don't want to "compromise" their Christian values and vote for a sitting President who openly claims and proclaims his faith in Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord, who both in print and from his mouth has said that he believes in Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, death on the cross and His resurrection; and instead vote for a non-Christian who shares their "values"- know that this is hogwash, and completely unacceptable. To Dr. Billy Graham I say you, Sir, should be ashamed of yourself for endorsing a non-Christian in former Governor Willard Mitt Romney for president of the United States. Moreover, you should be embarrassed and ashamed to go even further and have the language identifying mormonism as a cult removed from your website following your meeting with and endorsement of Governor Romney. Saints, Check out this excerpt concerning the Dr. Graham's endorsement of former Governor Romney via the Christian Post website- Evangelist Laments Billy Graham's Support of Romney, Says Mormon 'Lies' Spreading
Billy Graham (center) and his son, Franklin, met with Gov. Mitt Romney during his visit to the evangelist's mountain home this afternoon, while in the region for a speaking engagement in Asheville this evening. "It is no wonder why God is judging this nation by giving us a choice between two son's of Satan when high profile men of God like Billy Graham and supposed Christian leaders like Ralph Reed, Mark DeMoss, David Barton, and scores of others are publicly telling Christians that it is OK to compromise their faith and put temporal politics over the eternal souls of men to support a Baal worshipper," Keller said in an email to The Christian Post. The evangelist, who is urging people to write in the name of Jesus instead of selecting either candidate on Election Day, refers to the Rev. Billy Graham's recent remarks on Romney, which many say is an unofficial endorsement of the GOP candidate. Earlier this month, Romney met with 93-year-old Graham at his home in North Carolina, where the evangelist praised the Mormon politician for his "values and strong moral convictions." An article which calls Mormonism a "cult" was removed from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association's (BGEA) website following the Republican's visit, with Chief of Staff Ken Barun explaining that the reason behind the decision was that BGEA did not wish to be a part of the debate on Romney's faith, which has reached great heights this political season.

Now, let me quickly say that as a preacher of the Gospel who has Jesus Christ as my Savior and LORD, the Bible as my guide-book, and the Holy Spirit as my constant company keeper, I do not support same-sex marriage. That said, I do support human rights or civil rights for EVERYONE!!! All people deserve the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Jesus loves us ALL THE SAME! Red, yellow, black or white we are ALL precious in His site. There is no difference between us when it comes to the fact that we are ALL "fearfully and wonderfully made". The Bible teaches that God's ideal and plan for marriage is between a man and a woman. The Bible teaches that sex outside of marriage- whether it be heterosexual, bisexual, transexual, try-sexual (I made that one up); or what have you is a sin. So those of us who are heterosexual need to note this too. Now, regarding President Obama's positon on abortion- all of you please note that he has repeatedly stated that he is "pro-choice"; and that he does not believe the government should dictate what a woman does when it comes to making a decision about whether or not to abort a baby. It is a "personal choice"; and should not be mandated by the government. I know no two people agree on every point, however we can agree that mormonism is a cult ... period! Point blank! We can agree that none of us are perfect and live free and above sin. We can agree that the Bible in no way supports same-sex relationships or marriage. We can agree that one glad morning- The LORD Jesus Christ will return and He will rule with righteous judgment. Until The LORD returns let's agree to do our best to live for Him! And to stop lying to ourselves and others, to stop compromising our faith to fit in with the status quo. Let The LORD lead you as you vote ... but VOTE! Even if you go in and write-in the name Jesus ... VOTE!!! agape, S.J. Fort
