Has Jesus Become a Cult Leader?

I have stood by and said nothing as long as I am willing. God has graciously given to each of us an amount of time over which we may steward and do as best as we know how and I will not stand idly by and say nothing while my brothers and sisters in Christ take part in reducing the glorious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to little more than a cult leader. I am compelled to speak and fully recognize that many will vehemently disagree.
Our country is in a mess, worse than at any time in history. In fact I am convinced that we have never even been near the trouble that we are in and there is no area that is not touched; politically, economically, socially, legally, and the list goes on. I know that none of us live in a vacuum and as such I am certain that you are well aware of everything that is going on and as such I will not take the time to detail the problems. In this time of crises many believers and perhaps even unbelievers are calling out to God and seeking help and to varying degrees I am sure that each of us understands the ramifications of the direction that we are heading and the gravity of the consequences for not turning back. My fear in this time of great upheaval is that we as the body of Christ are paying lip-service to God as our deliver yet at the same time we have actually given up on Him intervening in any meaningful way and have resolved that we must walk through these evil days alone and chart our own course.

Specifically, I am referring to the open and blatant willingness of Christians to promote a cult member as the leader of the United States of America. Considering God’s number one goal is to glorify Jesus Christ do you really think that He has sent a man that believes our Savior is the brother of Satan, nothing more than a man, and that while Jesus is perhaps some sort of god He is only one of many and if you behave yourself you can be a god as well with your own universe to manage. Sort of like your very own Chick-fil-A just bigger. Has God totally lost control and this just happens to be the best He can do?

I have a question; where along the way did we begin to think that our job was to just pick the lesser of two evils? It is not just in this presidential campaign, we do it everywhere; in movies, music, books, elected officials, and really every area of life. No longer do we measure by God’s standard but we have completely bought into this world’s ideas in every aspect of life. May I share with you that God has not given to any of us the responsibility to elect a president as each of us only gets one vote. Your job is simply to seek to honor God with that vote and there is no way endorsing, campaigning, supporting, or voting for the member of a cult does that?
I am well aware that many will see this and argue, “What about, protecting the unborn, what about stopping gay marriage, what about our economy, what about keeping the United States from becoming a socialist (or worse) nation?” I can assure you that if you will study your Bible you will find that God does not care nearly as much about those things as you do. Right now I am sure you are recovering from shock but it is a reality. I am not saying that God does not care about those things; what I am saying is that He cares first about glorifying Jesus Christ and as terrible as those things are, they are side issues when compared to this. Our goal should be to do what God would want done and that means looking for a presidential candidate that glorifies Him.

I am also aware that many are quick to add in their defense of this sort of action that, “We are looking for a president not a pastor.” May I with all due respect say that for a Christian, that is one of the most ridiculous statements you could make and it is again yet another illustration of just how biblically illiterate we are as a nation. In the body of Christ, a pastor is not the guy who is getting it right and living like God would desire while the rest of us run amuck. I do realize that this is the reality in many churches; however, this is not the intention God had in mind. In fact I would submit that anyone that is chosen for any leadership position regardless of whether it is in the church, a business, or government should be a committed follower of Christ first and foremost. I did not cook that up on my own either as you can look at many of the original State Constitutions and see this requirement.
Throughout our nation on every conceivable source of media, “Christian leaders” have surrendered their responsibility and bought into this demonic idea that “All we need is a little more time and we can win the lost.” I hate to point out the obvious but we (Christians as a whole not Jesus) are losing and most of it has to do with our unwillingness to just live by the Word of God. Read through 1 and 2 Kings and you will see that Israel was in exactly the same place we are in and they did the same thing we are doing, looking for human answers rather than just turning to God. “How do I live out my faith practically?” you may ask. Here’s how; trust God, look for a candidate that seeks to glorify God and vote for him, then forget about the results and get back out there and tell people about Jesus.
I am no profit and do not claim “A word from the Lord,” however, if we do not turn from this course I believe that Mitt Romney will be our next President. I also believe that everything he says he will do will be done as he is a good business man and I am sure he knows how to fix many of the problems. However, in doing so Mormonism will be normalized and in many ways assimilated into “Christianity” in the minds of most and it would take a miracle to weed it back out and ultimately that will doom people to hell as the masses will put their faith in a lie that does not have the power to save. They will hold to a form of godliness and it will ensure their destruction. I fear what another four years of Barrack Obama would mean to this nation as I do not believe this man is a Christian and I think his ideas will destroy the United States but at the same time I cannot in good conscience stand by and for the sake of my own benefit choose a temporary fix that will seal the fate of so many. If I have to decide between earthly persecution and temporary “happiness” I must take the former.
