Clarification Re: Huckabee vs. Romney

I appreciate the comment by Stephen and wanted to make a comment for clarification. The intention of my blog is not to make fun of any particular person's beliefs. It is designed with the intention of following in the steps of what we see currently in the world of American politics.

As pointed out, the Constitution states, "No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust of the United States." While this vital document in US politics may frame such protection, it has little to no bearing on how the people of the US vote as a general rule. Religion is very much an important criteria to the general populace as seen by the fact that almost without one exception, EVERY would-be politician is seen courting the votes of evangelical or Protestant churches. This was especially true of Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush, and now the whole plethora of candidates.

While I am neither a Southern Baptist, nor a Mormon, the purpose of my comments was to point out that religion DOES make a difference. Each candidate attempts to use it to their advantage one way or the other. Personally, I believe there are a lot of people who are not aware of the truth in regards to a person's beliefs.

I for one find it very disconcerting that a presidential candidate will attempt to use half-truths or outright avoidance to try and show how he is very much like the group of peoples of whom he is trying to capture the votes! Romney started this by attempting to portray himself as a "Christian."

For what it is worth, I will state that if a Mormon, or a Scientologist, or a Catholic, or a Southern Baptist, or even an atheist gets into office, we still have a responsibility to give respect to that individual as the duly elected President of the United States. While I would have my own preference as to who gets into the White House, I will accept whoever makes it in January 2009. However, the people of America have a right to be told the truth which seems to be hidden (on the whole) within the realm of politics. The left rants all they want to and the liberal media jumps on the same bandwagons.

I can't help but wonder how much more castigation Huckabee would have received if one of the other candidates had made a comment about his faith. The thought that the other candidate (whoever it might be) apologizing for questioning Huckabee's faith in God and the Holy Bible is laughable at best!!

The Sovereignty of God

There are many in the world of Christendom who either hold firmly to the doctrine known as "The Sovereignty of God" or they hold to the doctrine that states "God is not in full control of the universe which He created."

I would encourage you to watch this almost 8 minute video on YouTube. It is the personal testimony of a man who know what it means to live life in a way that most of the world would consider to be worthless. Some would even question the mental capabilities of his parents in even considering allowing him to be born. Abortion would have been an option for many people.

This is a man who does NOT live in some ivory tower as some ministers of the Bible do. He lives and exudes the grace and mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ in his life and in his personal outreach to others.

Testimony of Johnny Farese

I hope you are touched by what you see. For those who are skeptical, consider this question -- Based on the infinitesimal amount of ALL the knowledge that is to be gained in the entire world, what if in the balance of what you do NOT know, you have missed the most important truths that will ever be known by mankind? The truth is spoken most convincingly by a man who rightly places his hands in the Sovereign care of His Creator and Redeemer.

The world will tell you that such people do not exist, but they do. The world will tell you we are better off without those who are imperfect in body, soul, or mind. The world will tell you many things which are untrue all for the sake of trying to appease a conscience which is fully and totally guilty before a righteous and holy God - the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.
