So a day (more like 2 weeks XD) late and a dollar short I'm going to post some of my opinions about the 2020 Presidential Election. If I speak curtly, if I don't link to every source, my intent is not to hurt feelings or spew things I cannot source. I simply haven't the time, or strength left in me, to make the truth polite and re-look up every name and statistic I've seen over the years in what will already be a monolithic post. These are subjects I've been watching off and on for years if I get a name or number imprecise forgive me, on substance I am quite certain. Here is where I offend everyone on both sides because I refuse to lionize, or demonize, men, nor gloss over unpleasant truths for victory.
First and foremost no one, least of all Christians, should vote on feelings. The "cut of one's jib" should have no bearing on principles, moral, logical, and Biblical. One of the lies of the world is that morals, logic, and Biblical truth can be ignored by labeling them as "politics". A fallacy seemingly propagated in the face of hostility so people can avoid talking about anything that causes friction. If we are to expect swords in our own family how can we not expect them dealing with everyone else Matthew 10:34-36 . We are brought before governors and kings for His sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. Christianity has predated and outlived many governments. It is a selfish vanity to believe we are not to use all the things we are given to do God's will. Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, but not your vote?
With that in mind there are three subjects I generally rate political candidates on, abortion, LGBTQ, and supporting Israel. These are subjects which have clear Christian stances affirmed by moral, logical, and biblical principles which I will now lay out here. Yes there are other less clear (to me) issues, some which I will cover later, but these are among those confirmed by the Bible and prevalent in modern policy. Note: Click on the spoiler buttons below to expand them for each subject.
