An Email Response To A Bad
Message
"Though I can certainly
understand a Christian pastor slipping and casting a vote out of
fear, I cannot understand a Christian pastor persecuting Christians
that are not slipping along with him."
Pastor
David Jeremiah,
For the first time in this 2012 election season I can
honestly say that I hope Mitt Romney wins. This has come as a result
of having viewed the video of your church message on this up-coming
election. (Click Here)
You see, Pastor
Jeremiah, I now see the need for Christians, such as yourself to see
that fear is not of the Lord and neither is the persecution of God's
children. Though I can certainly understand a Christian pastor
slipping and casting a vote out of fear, I cannot understand a
Christian pastor persecuting Christians that are not slipping along
with him.
As so many fellow believers in Jesus Christ, you
have chosen to ignore Mitt Romney's Mormonism and encourage voting
for him, while making the claim that America needs to turn back to
God. Which one, Pastor? Our God? Or the Mormon god?
You say
that a president should have reverence for God, while encouraging
people to vote for Mitt Romney. Again, Pastor, which one? Our God?
Or the Mormon god? Do you really believe that our God is suddenly
okay with sharing His glory? Scripture says that God will share His
glory with no other.
In the same message that you say a
president must reverence God, you admit that Romney is not a
Christian, and yet you are encouraging people to vote for him. That
is talking out of both sides of your mouth, Pastor
Jeremiah.
You say that a president should respect the life of
the unborn, while encouraging people to vote for Mitt Romney. Mitt
Romney has gone on record several times throughout his political
career as being pro-choice for abortion, and only when he decided to
run for the presidency suddenly became pro-life. Do you not know
this?
You say that a president should have family values,
while encouraging people to vote for Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney is who
declared homosexual marriage legal in the first state to "legalize"
homosexual marriage, as the governor of Massachusetts. --He did not
have the power to do so, and he certainly did not fight
it.
God says my people perish for lack of knowledge. Yes they
sure do. And pretending that which is, isn't, does not make that
which is, anything different than it is. And being the mouth piece
for Mitt Romney with Christians, to tickle their ears for him is
simply wrong.
You implied that "a thinking Christian" would
vote for Romney. You said that those of us who are not voting for
either candidate are "morally lazy," "evil," "sinful," and that we
are "protecting our holiness." Considering your generalization of
judgement on the whole of us, please consider the
following:
By not voting for either of the wicked men running
for the presidency, I am waiting on the Lord and trusting in
Him.
Psalms 37:
1 Fret not thyself because of
evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of
iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do
good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be
fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give
thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the
LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
I
will not in one breath pray that God will heal our land and in the
next breath cast a vote for a known wicked man to run that
land.
There is nothing morally lazy, evil, or sinful about
trusting in the Lord and not trusting in a Godless man whose only
consistency is his inconsistency. And since God is my holiness, I
have no need to protect it, as He is the same yesterday, today, and
forever. Amen!
It is written that in the end, evil will be
called good and good will be called evil. And it is also written,
"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness
for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and
sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and
prudent in their own sight!" ...Isaiah 5:20-21
You finished
your message by claiming that before God, you have done what you
believe "He's asked" you to do. No, Pastor Jeremiah. Your fear
driven message was not of the Lord, as fear is not of the
Lord
