Question for all you 3rd party voters out there.
(I may be one of you, so don't go too crazy):
How could Jehoshaphat be doing what was right in God's sight, according to the Chronicler (2 Chronicles 20:32-33), but not tear down the idolatrous high places because of the people?
Is it possible George Bush has been doing right regarding abortion, for instance, even if he hasn't been able personally to overturn Roe v Wade? What judges would we have gotten, what court decisions would have come re partial birth abortion, if 1 million more Republicans voted 3rd party against Bush and Gore?
It seems God does not consider a ruler guilty if the majority forces sin on the nation, and the ruler cannot politically stop it. Better to stay in office and hope for a more favorable day, than to have them run you out of office when you try and fail to impose the ideal thing on an unwilling populace.
But how does the godly ruler abstain from complicity in the people's sin?
