I perceive you may be lacking in the necessary rigorous background in logic and philosophy necessary for you to grasp my point there.
I grasp it fine. I disagree with it. A majority of people use rigorous logic and philosophy to reason their principles away when convenient or pragmatic. And when they do, they no longer possess those principles - they have traded them for what is expedient to the destruction of the very foundation their principles once existed.
Think "math functions", and you will have a better understanding of what constitutes actual reality.
I don't care about the math. 379 million people could sieg-heil Trump - 379 million people could have me surrounded - I'm still not going to surrender my principles simply because 'they have more'.
Which will continue under Clinton, but which may be stopped under Trump. I see Hungary is offering asylum to Christians in the Middle East. With Obama's policies continued, we will not do this, but with Trump? We might.
You totally missed my point - whether it was deliberate or out of ignorance - I don't know. I'm assuming the former, so as to deflect the point made and try to get into a debate about Trump being The Savior of Christians. The point I attempted to make was, you could reason it better to surrender your faith and your principles in order to save lives (which is what you are advocating), and in the context of scripture - you will have surrendered salvation.
That is how I view casting a vote for Trump. A surrender of the very principles that govern me, I might as well deny Christ.
You are reasoning it better to surrender principles in order to save lives from Hillary, and in the context of liberty and the Constitution - you have surrendered them wholesale.
Some things are non-negotiable.
For me, voting for a lifelong NY Liberal Democrat running as a Republican is non negotiable. I don't care you assert he is less dangerous than Hillary. I see him as equally and potentially MORE dangerous to my liberty than Hillary.
I didn't get death threats from Hillary supporters, only from Trump's militants, simply because I have publicly stated I will not vote for him. So much for liberty with the mobs for Trump. They have proven themselves every bit the tyrants you are attempting to insist Hillary and her hordes will be.
And that is the delusion I am constantly fighting here on this website; That we are merely talking "Politics" here. No, we are talking *LIFE* AND *DEATH* HERE as well, it's just that some of you haven't yet quite grasped the essential point I am trying to make when I say *HILLARY IS A NAZI*!
And Trump is Mussolini to me. But fine - if it's life and death you're talking about - my answer is exactly the same as if you said vote for Trump or watch my family die. My reward is with Him when He comes - and this earth will pass away, but a surrender of my faith for expedience will not pass away.
Murderous policies are coming to America if Hillary gets her claws on power.
They have already been put into place under the last two regimes. I'm still here. And better an enemy at the head of government we can clearly identify, rather than one from our own ranks who will stab us in the back having deceived everyone he is on 'our side'.
There are big principles and there are little principles, and one of the most important principles is the need to distinguish them by priority.
And some people think you can categorize sin too and list which ones are more acceptable to God than other sins.
You appear to be big on the bible, so heed God's admonishment about rescuing your Ox on the Sabbath. [/url] The lesser principle must always yield to the greater.
You do not want to go there with me. Nowhere in scripture does God permit sin in order for good to come from it. Jesus simply laid bare the fact that man's traditions of burdensome do's and don'ts of Sabbath Keeping were built on top of the Rest Command and were not what God intended. God did not set aside the Commandment and state that saving an Ox was a greater duty than remembering the Sabbath Day and to keep it holy. All Jesus did was show the burdensome fallacy of the ordinances and traditions of men that were grafted on top of the 4th Commandment.
