Can A Baptist Vote For A Mormon And A Catholic?

Common Sense Commentary:   Remember, we are not voting on a pastor.  The main National issue today is Socialism or Freedom.  Socialism is not new. Judas was a Socialist.... I would prefer a Constitutional Mormon and Catholic to a Socialist Muslim and a Socialist Zero.


"Then Jesus six days before the passover (and His death) came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always." John 12:1-8.

There are so many things on which I disagree, with Catholics and Mormons. All are important Biblical doctrines which I will never compromise. But at this crisis point in our nation's history, there are other vital Biblical points on which I agree more with most Mormons and many Catholics than I do with "Baptists" like Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.... and I am a Baptist. Some of the Biblical points I agree with most Mormons and Catholics on are Right to Life (anti-abortion), Male/Female marriages only, Our Constitutional Freedoms and Private Property Rights. I disagree with everything Socialists, Muslims and Zeros stand for 

Our RIGHT TO FREEDOM: "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32. Political lies take away freedoms of all but the politicians and their supporters.
Our PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS: "Thine own house." Luke 8:39......."Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power?" Acts 5:4..... "Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat theirown bread." 2 Thess.3:12

Socialism is a contradiction of FREEDOM and PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS.
Socialism robs frugal, independent, successful, hard working Americans in order to subsidize the spendthrift, lazy, unsuccessful, dependent on Government, Americans.

Just because I, myself, was not as frugal and successful as others or as hard working as some, does not give me the right to envy and dislike those who rose higher in fame and fortune than I ... or to covetously, greedily want them to give me any part of what they have a God given right to, or for me to vote for politicians who will take it from them by the force of taxation to give me or anybody else. That is the same as carjacking, mugging or burglary. Socialism is robbing from the haves, giving half to the have-nots and keeping the rest, for their own causes. God encourages us to give freely to the deserving needy.... not to be forced or robbed so politicians can give your hard earned money to someone else who will vote for them. Mrs Blair and I have supported good causes, on our own, all of our married lives.... as well as 20% of our income to the church, so I am not opposed to helping, on a voluntary basis, those who cannot help themselves.


May I remind you that Judas was the first Socialist, that we know of, recorded in history. In the above Scriptures, Mary brought a ''very costly" gift, which she had worked hard for, been frugal and saved it for her own use... maybe her retirement, but she was moved to sacrifice it for Jesus. It was hers to do with as she pleased, but self-righteous, greedy and envious Judas played the "poor" card. He wanted control of what was her's, and used "the poor" as his concern ..."Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. He was a Liar ! And so are the Socialistic Judases of today. The giving record of so called "Liberals", including our President and Vice President, is practically nil, whereas, that of their opponents is exceptional and generous. In Romney's case in the millions of dollars. That alone tells me volumes about the candidates. The two Socialists are only liberal with other people's money.
