WWJ...V? Who Would Jesus Vote (for)?
Original Air Date: December 9, 2007
Show Category:
Politics
Show Description: This week Mitt Romney addressed his faith while giving a speech at Texas A&M. Huckabee has also seen quite the bump in the Iowa caucuses. So I figured I would talk about WWJV: who would Jesus vote for. Here's my shocking revelation: I don't think Jesus would vote. And if He would vote, He'd probably quietly vote and go back down the street doing what He was set to do for that day.

Allen's Legal Pad for WWJ...V? Who Would Jesus Vote (for)?
HWJV – How Would Jesus Vote?
Mitt speech on his Mormon faith
Huckabee surge but discomfort – creationist view coming under fire plus past comments about AIDS patients
Obama campaigning with Oprah but Andrew Young says he is too young, voting for Hillary – Bill went with as many black women as Obama did
For a lot of people, faith is important factor
HWJV
If He were here, what way would He determine person to lead America
How Would Jesus Vote
What atrributes – how would He assess character
Compassion, freedom, personal faith, defense, problem solving, leadership, honesty and integrity
Scientists – 5 questions,conundrums
Compassion – John Edwards
Personal faith – Huckabee
Defense, threat of Islam – Rudy
Honesty and integrity – Romney
Problem solving – Obama or Rudy
Intelligence – Hillary
Freedom – to me, this one really matters and I am not sure who values our freedom
I think that is important to God – let people make their own decisions – good or bad
But those are my opinions
What about Jesus?
Here's the deal – I don't think He cares
Not even sure if He would vote
Tired of the overblown conversation as if we were electing a pope
Jesus spent almost zero time with the ruling authorities
When He did, they killed Him
He told folks to accept the authorities, render unto Caesar that which was His
Because Jesus' point was a whole lot bigger
Something far larger to be concerned with
Your soul – eternal
Would Jesus vote? He might – pretty sure He would not worry about it
He'd then go spend the rest of His day in a leper colony
Should Christians vote? Sure, right thing to do, let voice be heard
But don't take it too seriously – Kingdom of God not riding on it
How would Jesus vote?
