should we as christians vote for a mormon as our leader?

Hey Worthy family

Yep its been a while since ive been able to post, however i really do learn a lot from the christians here at worthy and when i get time i like to post. Here is the question that has got a lot of mixed views and would like to hear from you all.

Do yo as a Christian feel that it is right to vote for a mormon as our leader? why or why not

I do not and here is why? to vote for someone who believes that satan and Jesus are brothers, i find that very offencive and place that sort of belief on the same level as voting for someone who thinks killing unborn babies is ok. Not that mormons are bad people and would never treat them any less than any other person, but voting for one as our president, just cant do it.

the fall out of this is that if romney gets the nomination i feel that it will split the base and the president will get 4 more yrs because those of us who feel the way i do will not vote in this election.

i know some will say, not to vote is a vote for the president, i can see that, but i really do not see much difference between romney and the president in terms of there voting history.

what say you?

thanks

The thing that is bad, Christians didn't vote for a Mormon for the president, so they allowed a Muslim sympathizer who puts members of the Muslim Brotherhood into his cabinet.  That is the sad part.  Look it up.  See who this president has put in his cabinet, you will be surprised.

If we have a nominee that says he is a Christian and the fruit he bears, shows he is. then, yes we vote for him.  Now in the last election we did not have a true Christian involved.  When you find an individual that stands up for laws that break Gods laws, you have a problem.  Obama was for abortion, Romney was against,  Obama was for gay marriage and said it should be legal in all states.  Again, Romney was against the gay life style all together.  I know the Mormon beliefs is a false religion, but one of these guys would end up president.  If you are a Christian you can't say I'm not going to vote.  That is a cop out.  This could give The one you didn't want to win one more total amount to win and that is probably what happened  the last election.

 While I would consider voting for a nominee who is a true Christian, in all honesty they need to know what the they are doing. I am a Christian, but I hardly think I am qualified to be President of the United States. But tell me, just how would you know that a true Christian is running for President? Would it be because they are not pro- choice? Would it be because they are against gay marriage? I know of many non-Christians who are not pro- choice and many non-Christians who are against gay marriage. Politicians tell us what we want to hear. If they think that it is worth to them to get the "Christian" vote, they will spout what the "Christians" expects them to spout in order to get their vote.

 

I want to see what they have done for humanity. Have they cared for the poor and the sick. Have they given of their time to help those in need?

Is that the only reason a christian should vote? What if they didn't care who won?

Amen,  a lot of wisdom in those word.

If you don't vote then you have no right to complain about how things are run. I vote so I can complain!

 

These people work for me, why are they not doing what I tell them?

Is that why people vote? So they can complain? Every time I've brought up the fact that I don't vote, the very first thing that is said to me is, "If you don't vote, you have no right to complain". I find that odd.

It's why I vote. I don't know why other people vote. You will have to ask them. But also for me because I am a woman. Women fought long and hard for the right to vote. And I feel it is a slap in the face to those women who fought for my right to vote if I don't vote.  So anyway, That's how I feel about the matter.

I do not believe we should vote for a Mormon as our President.He or she will be the leader of our Country.The mormon religion is a cult.They do not believe in the Jesus Christ of the Bible.If I am confronted with two Presidents who compromise my Faith and Jesus Christ I will not vote.
