I personally like voting when I feel moved to; and I see absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Doug:
I am confused, does not God determine our leaders? How can our vote change anything God has already determined?

I don't think God hand picks all of our leaders, perhaps far less of them than we think; I don't think he even cares about most of the worlds leaders. I think he picks just those he has a will to deal with for his particular reasons. I don't think God looks to determine every little thing in government, or in the world. I think he couldcareless about most of the affiars of men, they are meaningless to him. Thats what Isaiah said about him. It is our human right to vote on things which concern us as humans; such as local issues; racial issues, rights issues, and zoning issues. Family issues and neighborhood issues; all kinds of issues that may concern you. Why would God be mad at me for voting for my son to have rights to go to school where I want him to go? Am I being " Unspiritual" if I choose to vote for jails not to be built in my neighborhood? Am I an unbeliever if I vote for blacks and minoritys to have more rights in my state? Will I be frowned on - on this website if I vote to have a new road built on my street?
Wow!

Hi Mickiel
"...for He has appointed a time for every matter, and for every work..." (The New Revised Standard Version).
"For He has set a season for every event and for every deed..." (The Concordant Literal Old Testament).
There is no wasted motion in God's creation, purpose and plan. Everything has an appointed time, and everything includes: "every purpose, every work, every matter, every event, and every deed."
I believe God cares about everything and chooses every leader in every nation on planet earth. Everything is predestined even this post.
Love and peace to all.
