Anti-abortion, not anti-war


.
I read of a man from La Crosse recently who stated, “You can’t be a true Christian and vote Republican.” It is absolutely true that the Bible is a Christian’s authority. However, it is false to say you must be anti-war and anti-capital punishment in order to be a Christian.

I suggest people read God’s word and see what he actually has said through the centuries.
In numerous passages in the Bible there are examples of people going to war because of God’s judgment. Over and over again we see God does not only allow but commands people to protect their lands, subdue their enemies, and allow men to correct injustices done in our society.

The reason we have capital punishment is because God calls on us to correct injustices.

Christians believe life begins at conception. In God’s word, we read: “He knew us before we were ever formed.” (Jeremiah: 1-5).

I urge people to examine the Bible and honestly and sincerely look at what God says in his word. God will hold people responsible for the death of approximately 50 million babies.

This election is bigger than Obama or McCain. It is, in part, about the fundamental right of the unborn to have a life. No man or woman has a right to decide if a human being can be killed. A baby in the uterus is a life from God.

No party is perfect on every issue, so therefore no one can end up with a perfect answer.
