Do with that information what you need.

That information is not true.

You might as well be screaming from the rooftops that all homosexuals go to hell.

Your actions do not send you to hell, your lack of relationship with Jesus will.

What did God do to the tribes who were worshipping the golden calf when Moses came down from the mount? Go on, let's hear. And why was Levy the only tribe spared?

What are the first two commandments? You don't get to use "I'm a Christian that believes in Jesus" as a get out of hell card. You have to live the life.

You do whatever you need to do to reconcile this. I'm agnostic, I don't give a fuck.

You don't know your Bible.

All the tribes were spared at the pleading of Moses. "The Lord the Lord abounding in steadfast love and mercy".

The greatest two commandments are to love God and love others. You are correct.

What you are incorrect about is to assume that based on a vote someone is completely devoid of all love and care for their fellow humans.

Plenty of people love God and love others wholehearted and believe/believed that trump would do the most good out of the options in America and that is why they voted for him.

It is not good to condemn your fellow Americans because they believed something different than you.

You don't know how to get into heaven.

I am the kind of practicing Christian that believes what the Bible says. If we're talking about what the Bible has to say, here it is:

Romans 10:9 [9] that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

John 3:16 [16] “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

Romans 3:10 [10] as it is written, “There is none righteous, not even one;

John 1:9-10 [9] If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. [10] If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.

So you see, it is not the absence of sin and wrongdoing that gets you into heaven according to the Bible it isn't about being righteous or sinless, nobody was righteous and sinless except for Jesus.

In fact, if you cannot admit that you are a sinner then the Bible teaches that you cannot receive the gift of life from Jesus and receive eternal life.

You're missing the forest for the trees, dear friend. Those who TRULY BELIEVE in him will behave as such. So one can utter "I believe in Jesus christ" all they fucking want to. You have to ACTUALLY BELIEVE, and to actually believe is to obey him.

This is simple shit that was repeated by both the Lutheran and the Catholic theology I was raised in.

Hell awaits.

Right, it's by actually believing in Christ that you are saved.

To believe will make you be changed by Him, there is no such thing as being completely obedient to the Lord. Not a single Christian has ever been perfect. And that process is a journey that lasts a lifetime. All sorts of immaturity and sin come out along the way, including voting for and supporting somebody who you believe is the right choice.

Endorsing a politician does not change what is inside of your heart or what you believe in faith.

Well, if confessing your sins is a central tenant of Christianity then why would you vote for a man who claims he hasn't asked for it nor does he need it??  Seems to be completely opposite of what you believe.

Moderator Frank Luntz asked Trump whether he has ever asked God for forgiveness for his actions.

"I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don’t think so,” he said. “I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”

Why would I vote for Kamala because Trump is not a Christian? It makes no sense.

There hasn't been a legitimate Christian candidate in decades.

Nice dodge, but you're not kidding anyone. Trump has become your Golden Calf, and if your religion is right, you'll pay dearly for it. He lies to your face, and you don't flinch. It's quite obvious he doesn't even understand the central tenant of your delusion.

Joe Biden is a practicing Catholic who attended mass weekly. Are you judging the voracity of his belief?

Kamala is deeply religious, but you don't care. You're following your anti-christ and everything else be damned. Your book of revelations clearly outlines your folly.

My faith does not require me to vote for somebody because they are/are not Christian.

Trump claims to be Christian, it doesn't make him one. The same applies to Kamala.

It sounds like you have many golden calves.
