Old chum, you say in your profile that you're a Christian, but what TYPE exactly? If we knew that we might be able to understand your beliefs better..
Me, I'm nondenominational because I regard Jesus as my only pastor/minister..

I don't rail against the democrats because no one here needs convincing of their evil. If people here were supporting the dems agenda, then yes I would be speaking out against them as well. But I don't because it's not needed here.
Yes in other forums I do speak out against teachers who are leading our children astray. My dentist is not preaching to the masses so him I don't hold as accountable. Same with the waitress. You're mixing apples and oranges.
God tells us over and over again that false prophets will come in His Name, leading His people away from His Ways. If I see that happening, would I not be derelict for not pointing that out and warning my brothers and sisters? If I am called to be a voice in the wilderness calling out such a warning, would I not be sinning if I did not do what God has called me to do?
Because trump supports abortion, you turn a blind eye to all the ways he is leading believers away from Christian values. And you turn a blind eye to all the ways he bears fruit not of the Holy Spirit. I don't moralize your vote, I say open your eyes and take in the big picture. Because what has been prophesied is coming to pass, and you will be deceived into accepting it if you don't.
I speak what God has given me to speak only because I DO care

When we get our faith in Him right, we have no need to post on the negative or people who have failed, we ALL come to Him as we are, but we must NOT stay the way we are.
We all know people, our required path is to seek his direction and walk it out, not be distracted by anything such as gossip, and that is what it appears to be from here.
best wishes.

I appreciate the sincerity of your answer. I truly do. But I'm not at all fooled by who Trump is. Unlike many, I'm not convinced he's a Christian. But it was certainly worth voting for Trump for the thousands of lives being saved every day that are no longer being aborted.
You seem to have the idea that Trump is leading Christians away from God. I believe anyone looking to any political leader for spiritual leadership has already been mislead. I see Trump as a modern day Cyrus. He's just someone God is using to defeat evil. In the process, I believe God is laying the foundations to bless His people. Trump is not ultimately important. He is just a vessel. But what God is doing is of paramount importance.
As a Christian, my faith is in God, not Trump or anyone else. But I do see that perhaps God is using Trump to accomplish His purposes and bless His people. I could be wrong. We'll see how it plays out. The children of Israel disapproved of God's choice of deliverer. I'm not so inclined.

If Trump refused to go to East Palestine, Ohio, sorry bad example he has already been there.
OK, if Trump were to go and stand in the middle of Lahaina, standing on the ashes of close to a thousand people incinerated because the water was turned off, most of whom were kids, and talk about how he almost lost a 67 Chevy, if he could really be that heartless, that clueless, that completely devoid of empathy, then yes, I would agree he is not fit to be president.
"I can understand the loss of your children and your house, once my car got dinged and I knew then what real loss felt like"

Let’s look at some of the scriptures that warn us what’s coming…
Matthew 24
3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.
...
10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
...
23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time. 26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.
2 Peter 2: 1
But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them — bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3 In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
1 Timothy 4:1
Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy...
2 Timothy 4:2
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Romans 16: 17
I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause division and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naïve people.
Galatians 1:8
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached, let them be accursed
Mark 13:5
Jesus said to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 6 Many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many.
A couple things that stand out –
Cameron claimed I don’t care. He couldn’t be further from the truth. I care increasingly about what is becoming of my brothers and sisters. And that is why I speak out! 2 Timothy 4:2 tells me to!

A couple things that stand out –
- These are regarding believers, people who have confessed Christ as their Lord and Savior.
- It warns that believers will be deceived by some who claim God’s Name, but don’t follow His Ways.
- The very definition of the word deception, is that those who fall prey to it have no idea they are falling prey to it.
- Following these leaders will cost some their salvation.

The fact that Trump is a billionnaire means he's not in politics for the money, and he was already famous before he ever ran for President, so he's not in it for fame.
His motive is to make America great again and I don't think any of us would disagree with that..

As a wealthy man, Don could have spent the rest of his life relaxing and putting his feet up, but he saw the mess Obama made and hit the campaign trail to make America great again, what a man..
He didn't get us into a war and the economy was good under him. He promised to appoint pro life judges and he did that.
since I have to make a choice between two people if it is between Trump and Biden it is a very clear choice for me, I would vote Trump and would have a very poor opinion of anyone who thought that Biden was a better choice.
