ifeelfine72: Try reading the Bible one more time, because obviously you didn't get it the last few times you read it. The Bible says that Jesus is "life". The Bible also is clear how God designed marriage. There are many Scriptures about these "two" topics. No, I am not a "two-issue Christian", I am a believer in God's Word. And I think His Word speaks for itself. If you voted your "Christian faith", than I challenge you to re-consider what you have read "many times front to back" what the Scriptures truly say about these issues.

"In spite of his all out free choice agenda for abortion, he can still find repentance if we will pray for him. He is a dynamic gifted spokesperson..." Honesty, I agree that prayer is a definate, but disagree with the use of your statement. How can you say "in spite of his all out free choice agenda for abortion"? That's the problem. We cannot say "in spite of". That's what elected him President in the first place. Because "evangelicals" voted for him "in spite of" what is contrary to Scripture. Yes, he is also a " dynamic gifted spokesperson", but he's a "dynamic gifted spokesperson" for abortion and homosexual marriage. Yes, I believe it is the Lord who puts "leaders in their positions", but this is necessarily not about Obama being President, but that Christians voted "in spite of" his contrary beliefs to Scripture.

It "blows me away" when I hear of so-called "evangelicals" placing their votes on one who supports that which contradicts Scripture. Obama has been a clear advocate and supporter for abortion and homosexuality, and yet "Christians" attempt to justify as to why they would support one that clearly contradicts Scripture. All I have heard is, "he's going to bring change". Or, "as Christians we need to be open minded", and "this is our chance at an ever first black President". You want a black President? Why not get one that has a biblical worldview like Alan Keys? Look, if your OK with having a supporter of baby murder and man on man action, than PLEASE do not call yourself Christian nor Evangelical, since with your push of the "cast ballot" button spoke for itself!

Believe it or not, it's actually exciting that people like Russel Brand, Whoopi Goldberg, Bill Maher, George Lopez, and all the liberal left comedians, musicians and actors make these sort of comments and attacks against Bush, Palin and conservatism. This shows us two things: First, that they are deeply fearful of being governed by a conservative woman. Second, that conservativism and spirituality has struck the liberal left with a jab to the jaw that they are still trying to recover from. There are going to be attacks on both sides, but I have NEVER seen conservatives make such brutal, personal and nasty attacks like the left has. Mark my words, Mcain and Palin will win this election. People are not that stupid to follow a man (Obama) that they still don't know, and elect a man (Biden) who has lost touch with the common folk. One last thing, I know that there will be negative responses to this comment, but please, for the sake of good arguments, when you comment back, please use a better argument than Bush lied and the government is worse off and the war on terror was wrong and blah blah blah. I challenge you liberals to come off with a new and "fresh" argument.

moethesleaze, where do you get your facts in the statement "Why do we have such a higher rate of abortions than countries like France when Republicans have been in charge of the presidency and congress in the US for so many of the last 30 years?" Go do your homework than comeback and rant. Until then, you sound like a disgruntled democrat/liberal who has nothing else better to say and nothing to support your hasty generalization. You have to have a better answer and comeback than "Because all of you Republican voters only demand that your leaders talk about how they hate abortion rather than demanding they do something about it." Think before you speak "Oh wise one".

LoveThyNeighbor, you stated "As an ordained minister I feel deep in my heart that Obama is the person who will lead our country to better days." Wow, deep in your heart huh? As an ordained minister you may also know that Scripture tells us in Jeremiah 17:9 that the "heart is deceitful". Be careful as to what your heart is telling you. Because as an ordained minister, I am sure you do not support abortion, right? Or same sex marriage? It would be a contradiction of your spiritual divine calling from God to agree with one who supports such genocides and sins, and thus oppose Scriptural mandate as for us to live. Especially ordained ministers. God Bless!

There are some questions/comments that are not worthy of a response. However, Stan seems as if he is trying to make a point, attempting to say the the Old Testament is not relevant, or he actually wants to know Scripture so that he can grow spiritually. I will take the third case, (he wanting to know Scripture). So here it is Stan. If you notice there are several O.T. Scriptures as well as N.T. ones. May we recognize that the O.T. still speaks to us today. As a matter of fact, we cannot understand the N.T. without the O.T. God bless and let's learn together! ABORTION/STEM CELL/PARTIAL: Gen 1:27; 4:1, Exodus 20:13; Amos 1:13; Psalm 8:5-7; 22:10-11; 51:7; 127:3; 139:13-15; Jeremiah 1:4-5. HOMOSEXUALITY: Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1:24; 6:19; 2 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19; 1 Thessalonians 2:3; 4:7; Ephesians 4:19; 5:3-5; Colossians 3:5. Thought this is enough for now. There is more if you would like some. I just didn't want to overwhelm you with so much Scripture. Thanks!

The 4 major issues in today's political culture are: 1.) War 2.) Financial Deficit 3.) Health Care 4.) Oil (not necessarily in that order) However, the issue for evangelicals is how we should vote. Do we vote on the basis of cultural/society issues? Or do we as evangelicals-whether proclaimed Republican, Democrat or Independant, vote solely on the moral issues? My personal conviction is to stay biblically directed and vote on the moral issues (ie: abortion, partial birth abortion, stem cell research, same sex marriage, etc). You may ask why not vote on domestic and cultural issues? As for the war, why vote against it or for it when Matthew 24 says that "war" is inevitable? In other words, whether it was Bush, Gore, Kerry or Omama/McCain in office, war is going to happen regardless because of what Scripture tells us. Secondly, why not vote in the area of finances whether we should raise or lower taxes? Because as Christians we don't live or depend on Uncle Sam and the government, we depend on Jehova Jireh our provider. The Lord provides for those who are His. Why not vote on health care and other health situations? Because our Healer and protector is the Lord. Do you see where I am getting at? Yes, we live in America and votes and amendments and rules and leaders do effect us as believers, but we do not trust in man or his government, for our hope is in Christ and His Kingdom. Therefore, if we as evangelicals vote on morality, we vote as Christians should.

Diana626, you seem to take McCain's divorce so personal. Since yesterday, his divorce and the church "overlookng" his divorce seems to be your argument. Is there a reason for your concern? Or are you bad at debate and that's all you have on McCain? Or, have you been hurt by men ad thus use McCain as your "scapegoat"? Hmmm, you tell me.

It's funny to me how it seems as if everyone wants the "perfect Christian" in office. It just won't be the case. Obviously, no one, including those of this blog panel, are not perfect by any means (including myself). Here we have Diana626 using the term "evangelcal puppets" and making statements like "woe unto you blind guides" as well as quoting Revelation 3 and not using this Scripture in true Biblical context, is obvious support that no one is perfect. I do not agree with McCain in everything but I do think he did a whole lot better than the "fumbeling" Obama. By the way Diana626, in your definition, who are the "true Christians" that we should not be confused about?

ronwilson4u: I agree with your statement. Especially with being deceived by the likes Obama. In no way am I a "conspiracy" theorist and/or one who tries to find a demon behind every bush. However, as I read the Word of God, 1 John 2:22-23 is very powerful not only for Obama, Oprah and all the "universalists", this is for anyone and everyone who has this philosophy. Read what it says, "Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ. This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also." It's as simple as that! As chapter 4 of 1 John tells us, this is the "spirit" of the antichrist. I believe that Obama, Oprah and/or anyone who does not believe that Jesus is the Christ is a form of the spirit of the antichrist. Obama needs to be real in his beliefs and stand on one thing or soon enough it is going to catch up on him as it seems to already be doing!

Radius: I'm offended by your statement about the special olympics and being retarded. Though you might have meant that trying to be funny, not funny here. Especially when I have family that have been diagnosed with down syndrome. However, to argue your point, politics is nothing new to Christians. Was it not Paul that stood before the governor on several occasions standing for the faith? Was it not Jesus who stood before the politcal leaders of those days-pharisees and sadducees? Being political and standing for the faith are two different situations. What Dobson did was merely stand for biblical truth.

I think what's pretty funny to me is how every Presidential candidate claims some "form" of Christianity. What's interesting though is why no one has yet to claim being Buddist, Hindu, Muslim, Bah'hai, etc? Why Christianity? Very simple; the Bible says that the "law of God has been written on the hearts of man". Therefore, one can only associate themselves for what has been written. They may be far from truly knowing God, but that's all they can claim. This is why people will blame God about 9-11 and not Buddah. Or blame God for the war in Iraq and not Allah. Or blame God for the levees being destroyed in New Orleans during Katrina and not Krishna. Why God? Because it was His law that was written on men's hearts not the other one's that don't exist! Therefore, if Obama and McCain claim God and Christianity, it's because it's written on their hearts and not necessarily because Jesus lives in their hearts. Obviously, if Jesus was Lord and Savior of their lives, their biblical interpretation would be sound and doctrinal, and we as believers would all agree. As Scripture tells us "our spirits will agree we are from God."

dongard: Do you remember the Jim Jones story of a man who murdered hundreds of men, women and children by making the drink kool-aid? Did they not see him as an "authority figure"? How about in the late 90's a man by the name of David Koresh? Were not many men, women and children killed by the name of being a Branch Davidian? They saw him as an "authority figure". If we could take history back, wouldn't we go above the law and take them out? Or would we let them die so that we may not violate their first amendment rights? I'm not saying that Scientologists will necessarily go to that extreme, but I think what Touretzky is simply saying is that we have seen the outcome of those who have followed the teachings of an "authority figure". L.Ron Hubbard being one of them.

Church Attendance Key to Marriage Success, Researcher Says

pgcfriend: Though I agree with you in theory, I may disagree with you in the following statement, "People that apply the word, whether attending services or not, will mature and become better people." I agree that people who are truly in the Word will have a stronger foundation and less likely to fall in times of trial and testing. However, to "forsake the assembly of the brethren" causes a lack of accountability. I guarantee that people who DO NOT attend church service and felowship with other beleivers are more than likely NOT in the Word and use the whole "I can worship God wherever" bit as a statement to justify there actions. Does that mean that divorce is not prevalent amongst church goers? On the contrary. You can go to church and still wind up in a divorce. However, church, fellowship, accountability and truly studying the Word, gives a marriage a stronger foundation that can become "divorce proof."
