[QUOTE="shearwater, post: 95112, member: 6123"] Guru Fateh. Thanks for the response. My question was very simple. I did not ask you the justifications of you voting for McCain and not voting for Obama but I am surprised you as a Christian who has some affection for Sikhi for whatever reasons would bring President Obama's color into the equation. One wonders the underlying reasons. We will leave that for some other time. You have distorted the facts about Obama. He is not black. He had a white mother. And as we are at the hue of people's skins, what color do you think Jesus was? A blond with blue eyes? [B]No. I would assume that Jesus was semitic in his appearance and had brown eyes and olive skin color. As a matter of fact, my interest in having a brown president is simply my belief that intellectual capacities and virtue are not exclusively confined to any one racial origin but God has embued every nation, race and color with these qualities.[/B] The fact is that McCain is an adulterer and I am surprised you did not mention anything about that but you did talk about the 10 commandments in your thread and also in your response you gave some generic justifications in a political sense. I thought we were talking about moral values especially when you are promoting a book by a Christian that you seem to admire and its title is, "The Disappearance of Moral Knowledge." Where did you moral knowledge disappear when you embraced an adulterer? [B] As I mentioned in another post. McCain was the lesser of two evils and I considered Obama as the greater evil because of his world view and his anti capitalist propensities, i.e. socialism.[/B] So, my question is why this hypocricy in the name of a religion ? [B]I don't think I am hypocritical because my only other choice would be not to vote at all.[/B] How come you set aside your moral values that you base your religious life on when you knowingly voted for an adulterer? [B]I did not set aside my moral principles. I will venture that most presidents we consider are not virtuous people. Most of them were adulterers or philanderers at some point in time. Bill Clinton was an adulterer. John F. Kennedy was the same. I am told from my reading that President Isenhower had a mistress while as a general was commander of allied armies in WW2.[/B] What kind of punishment is subscribed for an adulterer in Christianity? [B]The Bible says that unrepentant, these kinds of people will go to hell. They may get the applaud of contemporary society but will suffer the greater loss when they discover that their souls experience of hell. Christianity says that these kinds of people, if they do these kinds of evil deeds are to be ignored so that the guilt of their sins will have its effect in redirecting them toward God and purity available in Jesus Christ, who the Bible says, was tempted in all points as we are, yet never sinned. [/B][B]1 Corinthians 6:9-20 (New International Version)[/B] [B]9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.[/B] [B].[/B] Shearwater [/QUOTE]
