Remember we ALL will stand before GOD and give an account for our votes.

I have a real problem with this statement. I can see it being used to browbeat people into voting for a particular candidate, with the threat that God will punish them if they don't.

We no longer live in a Christian nation and from this point forward will rarely see a committed Christian running for office. Not in the current political arena and I don't believe it will ever change for the better. Besides, what do we truly know about ANY candidate? All too often I've voted for the one I thought was, "Christian," only to watch them vote time and again against freedom and in favor of statism. What about the so-called Christian Democrat who was supposedly pro-life until he found out that he could benefit by voting, "against his conscience." If I had voted for him, would God be happy with me or not?? How are any of us supposed to predict the actions of an elected official. Truth is 99% of them are corrupt to the core. The are corrupted so easily and so quickly it's hard to believe otherwise.

Sorry, but I don't buy into God judging me according to my voting record AT ALL. Most of the world's Christians, past and present, have lived in non-Christian nations. When it came time to vote, was it a mark against them if they voted for a sinner?

This is so un-Biblical that I'm finding it hard to believe that people are giving credence to it.

First of all’
We are to recognize that ALL will stand before GOD whether we like it or not;
then we need to recognize who exactly IS in charge.
WE are to do pur best, HE will “chastize/punish/spank” or what ever we call it.
People do not read their Bibles, so they don’t know what it says; or they read it so seldom, they get it out of context.
How do you think Prophecies are done?
If one person won’t do what HE wants, he uses another. there are, however a certain number of people that can not say no. That is how we got SAUL or PAUL.
Scripture will tell you ALL of these things.
Hey; I am seventy plus yrs old and I still make more than my share of mistakes, and I can’t tell how many times I have read it. But I’m a KJV only because of those many scriptures that warn us not to delete or add anything to it.
You are responsible to YOU to do right; GOD is responsible to do the rest.
