THIS IS SO DANGEROUS!
Probably a bad idea but I decided I was going to give this election some of my time in order to make a possible informed and in good conscience God honoring decision, so I've been following the despicable and appalling body of work by both sides. Though I have sparingly shared on social media what others have shared or said I resolved to not make any original comments of my own. Though much of what I have heard and seen is disturbing and upsetting I have done well not to let it get under my skin and have been able to keep my silence. Well, not anymore. By far the worst thing that I have seen and heard thus far has not come from a candidate or their constituents, any politician, journalist, or even the media, it came from Eric Metaxas.
Eric Matexas on Fox News (Watch video below from 10/14/16) in essence said if Christians do not vote for Donald Trump you are voting for Hilary Clinton and God will hold you accountable. What Metaxas basically said was It is not only okay for Christ followers to vote for Donald Trump, but it would be sinful not to do so. What else can be inferred by him stating emphatically that God will hold them accountable? Why is it okay? Because Metaxas rationalizes that God would rather have a president who does not espouse or exemplify a Christian worldview that might possibly appoint supreme court justices who may possibly judge and interpret the constitution closer to a Christian worldview. The result could be that America would be a little better off than if the other candidate became president who would appoint supreme court justices whose non-existent worldview is a little worse.
Metaxas includes God in the equation as grieved and unhappy and wrathful over Christians who will vote for the worst of two evils and also for those who will not vote for evil at all. This is so dangerous! Yet Metaxas leaves out of the equation God’s sovereignty over the whole situation as if our all powerful Creator needs our help to appoint supreme court justices and is wringing His hands hoping we get out and vote for DJT. God is in control of it all and can be trusted to put whoever He wants in power and also bring down whomever He wishes. I’m sorry but I have prayed and prayed and prayed and I have received no such “go ahead” to vote for evil. Evil is evil wether republican or democrat. Besides, God is not American and only He knows what His will is for America we are citizens of heaven and when you get right down to it live in a different kingdom here and now with the Only Righteous King.

Christian voters face a dilemma: Trump's behavior is low, without honor, but clouds of corruption follow Clinton
