Great work gentlemen, thank you. We're voting here in South Africa today, please do pray us. Regards

[@QK97749]

I appreciate you men and your zeal for the truth and helping us who haven’t necessarily thought through these issues.

[@Peter_Morris]

Man, how can we get more Virgil Walkers?

[@Conservative4Ever]

As a Christian, I don't worship government. It is not my Savior. I will be VOTING for the lesser of two evils, and it is VERY CLEAR for me and MILLIONS OF OTHERS in this country.

[@zareshtea]

Neither of them are the lesser of two evils. They are just different flavors of evil. Honestly, this election, we are screwed.

[@KeithSDunn]

Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil.

​@zareshtea it doesn't look great.

[@SojournerDidimus]

First: I'm not American. The USA system boils down to a two-headed one party system. Dem/Rep are crazy close together in almost all views, which also means voting becomes single issue. Realize that in general the two parties alternate office every 4/8 years, meaning the USA mostly moves into the same general direction. Valuing human life is one of those single issues, but what about Russia, military, care for the poor, CBDC, international agreements, NATO and UN? On most of these the position doesn't differ that much. If you are serious about politics, change the system so a truly Christian party can enter the scene and reform the USA to make the government serve the people, instead of the other way around.

I think Donald Trump is playing the political game now. In 2016 he wasn’t playing that game. And I really don’t believe Donald Trump truly has a relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. But I will vote for him and continue praying for his salvation and success.

[@paulabranson6530]

It's like we like our Freedom in this Country but how many Pastors raise their kids and suggest to them to become Police Officers, Military, Border Patrol, Etc?

[@robertcarlson6061]

Just curious about people who feel God is Sovereign over all things - therefore feel no need to vote! What say y'all, Robert from Daytona Beach, Florida!

[@Zilam]

Neither candidate and neither party has a Biblical worldview. Giving your support to either means that you are aligning with their worldview. A biblical worldview and a pagan worldview cannot align. We need Christian leaders with a prophetic-like voice, willing to stand face-to-face with political leaders and call their sins out. Instead, we have leaders that tell us just to lesser of two evils. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil, of which we are to have no part. If the political parties will not heed the word of God, then Christians have the responsibility to create a political party that will. But that won't happen. Why? Because most conservative evangelicals fear that if they do that, the GOP will lose power and the Democratic party will win. Their fear overrides their faith in God. So, instead, they will vote for a party that is giving into the LGBTQ agenda at a slightly slower rate than the leftists. They'll vote for a serial adulterer who mocks the forgiving power of Christ. The same man that they champion as the hero against abortion, but has called for conservatives to tone down the abortion rhetoric.

I 💬🤔 about voting for my LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH 💯 TO RULE AND REIGN OVER MY LIFE ALL THE TIME ❤️! THIS WHO I VOTE FOR; THE TRUTH 😳 FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS SAKE AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP US LORD 🙏 AND LET THE CHURCH SAY, AMEN! HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, 😮 HALLELUJAH 🙌 REVELATION KNOWLEDGE 💡! 🎉 SURPRISE 🤗 THANK YOU LORD!

[@randydickinson4864]

It is said that even you as a group think of this country as a two party system. What about the fact YHWH put in power how He wants. So don't vote for other parties that really support or views and YHWH view just vote what will win? You want someone who openly talk of hanging elected people on Jan 6?

[@spatialoptic]

You are talking about not being a one topic issue but you did it here! Babies and Blacks! Not the Bible! Not the Body of Christ! You forgot Who is on the Throne! God IS THE WINNING SIDE!

[@HearGodsWord]

They haven't forgotten what you claim they have. What's funny is that babies and blacks are two issues, not one, so you even managed to contradict and undo your own complaint.

[@KeithSDunn]

God required the death penalty for worshipping other gods, worshipping idols, witchcraft, wizardry, blasphemy, not keeping the Sabbath day holy, false prophecy, dishonoring your father and mother, murder, kidnapping, adultery, homosexuality and bestiality. Why do you highlight murder (abortion) and don’t speak as loudly on all the other issues that God deemed just as bad?

[@christophergregory6963]

God did highlight them in his Holy Word. All 1 million words approximately. All have sinned a d fall short. That doesn't mean we can't emphasize 1 topic at a time. No matter the topic we all fall short that's the point. But there are some sins that are more severe, just as some crimes are more severe. Abortion is murder which is a capital crime, hence greater emphasis.

[@KeithSDunn]

@@christophergregory6963 I don’t disagree with the point that we all fall short of God’s standard and that capital crime is more severe and deserves a greater emphasis. My point is that “Christians” seem to be more outraged about one capital crime and not about the others. I would like to see “Christians” just as outraged about the misuse of God’s Holy name or the promotion of witchcraft. When is that last time you heard someone speak up with as much concern about blasphemy or honoring one’s parents?

[@christophergregory6963]

I agree with your statement. We do need more Christians stepping into those spheres as well. But if murder does not have a greater emphasis do you think blasphemy or honoring parents will? Probably not. I'm outraged by all sin, my own sin which anyone that's a Christians needs to fight first. Kill our sins first, and then we can step out into these spheres to influence and shape laws. Honoring parents or blasphemy is not a part of any laws or anyone pushing for that at this time. What's more important than life?

[@christophergregory6963]

God bless you for at least thinking things through. You're right.

[@margochanning6868]

How about talking about the sterilization and mutilation of children. God is in Sovereign Control NOT a political party. I am against women pastors but we need much stronger male pastors that can see through all of this corrupt and temporal world. You are in a circle, I could be more specific about the circle but for now, I will say that you are in an echo chamber.

[@margochanning6868]

None of you can speak prophetically. The Bible is the prophetic WORD. And THANK GOD for giving us the Word because we have weak physical churches with more wheat than tares. You keep forgetting that God is in sovereign control. False female teachers and preachers are NOT the only sex preaching abortion and other evils in the pulpit.

[@deborahparrish2201]

I can assure you these men never forget that God is sovereign in ALL things.

[@brianrayburn5892]

Is abortion all that they're going to talk about as an issue for voting there are 43 issues...

[@maxmustermann1206]

The problem is that politicians try to sell you a package deal. You may agree with them on some issues, but not on others. So people vote on the most important issue to them (abortion, the economy, etc. ) But when politicians win, they think you approved of their stance on all the issues when in fact you don't.

[@maxmustermann1206]

Go back and listen from about 5:00 to about 6:30 where they talk about life being a primary issue. If a person is wrong on the life in the womb issue, they will likely get other issues wrong. It's an excellent point.

[@missouri6014]

After being a Republican for 30+ years I am afraid I need to start voting democrat because I need to pick the person who is more Christian like to all people not just do a few And no, I do not like the whole gay and trans thing but they are people and people should have rights No, I do not like abortion but you can never eliminate abortion. Plus there are far too many heartbreaking stories of women who need an abortion of a fetus for health reasons, but yet they can’t because of the state they live in. That is crazy We have to have compassion for situation Lastly, when it comes to the border The Republicans have to quit playing politics especially when they had a great compromise in front of them and then they wouldn’t vote on it because they went to the person they worshiped Donald Trump and he said don’t do it wait because if you pass it then I’ll make Biden look good That is the very essence of what’s wrong So I’m gonna go with being a Christian vote democratic

[@mikeconnor4736]

@missouri6014 if you must ask, you will not comprehend, that's reprobation.

[@maxmustermann1206]

@missouri6014: "I do not like the whole gay and trans thing but they are people and people should have rights " Yes, people do have rights - and so do babies inside the womb. They should not be mistreated, but no one should lie to them by saying there are more than 2 genders. Scripture is clear on how many genders there are. Scritpure is clear that homosexuality is a sin. "...Plus there are far too many heartbreaking stories of women who need an abortion of a fetus for health reasons" If a woman's life is in danger due to pregnancy, that becomes a rescue operation. BOTH lives should try to be saved, but sometimes only one life can be saved. A rescue operation is not murder- hence it's not even classified as an abortion in this case. Republicans have NEVER tried to ban an "abortion" in this case. The Democrats are good at lying about this. "...because they went to the person they worshiped Donald Trump..." I don't know anyone that worships Donald Trump. People I know didn't vote FOR Donald Trump so much as they voted against Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.
