Scripture Reading: 1 Kings 7:13-14; 40-45
Why You Can't Vote for Either Candidate
In Tuesday’s (10/9/12) The Cincinnati Enquirer there was the front page article, “Fewer in US claim a religion; Protestant ranks slip into minority while non-religious grow.” The article starts off by saying, “Protestants have dipped to 48 percent of the American population, becoming a minority for the first time in generations, while the ranks of people claiming no religion has steadily risen, a new report says.”
The article goes on and says on page 5 that Ed Hensley, an organizer with the Louisville Atheists and Freethinkers believes that “People are becoming more tolerant; they’re learning that gays are not evil people, that atheists are not evil people.” He adds, that “Those with no religion are more liberal politically and more tolerant of homosexuality and abortion.” That shouldn’t be a surprise to any Christian! For it is because of our GOD’S law is what makes homosexuality, abortion and atheism an abomination. God is against all of these sins.
How did this happen? When our nation started in 1776, the number of Protestants in the United States was a dominate religion with a lot less denominations than now. Many more Protestant denominations started during the last two centuries; and their doctrine and practices have change greatly. There were no (501) (C3) churches so most all of the Protestant Churches preached against their hearers committing sins; like homosexuality, abortion, the errors of feminism, usury in the banks, evolution and they are forbidden to tell their congregations not to vote for either of the vice-Presidents because they are Roman Catholics and the non-Christian, anti-Christian present President and the non-Christian, anti-Christian Mormon. Their main doctrines were total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace and perseverance of the saints.
