I've seen two Democrats as the choices on the city level in Honolulu.

David,
When you talk about the COG heritage and a Wesleyan Holiness traditional world view, you must understand many in that movement were Populist and not conservatives when it came to the role of government and economics. I’m not in any way implying they were liberals because that’s not what Populism was about. The economic and government hard right worldview is a modern addition to the evangelical world.
In fact A.J. Tomlinson ran for Hamilton County Auditor as a member of the Populist Party in 1893. |

One county I know of in the South had a convicted felon running as an independent candidate for county sheriff on basically nothing more than a marijuana legalization platform. He said as sheriff he would simply not pursue marijuana growers, dealers, or users. The incumbent sheriff was a strongly pro-life Democrat with a good record of law enforcement. Christians and all other sensible persons voted for the Democrat in that case.

Do you have to be a jerk all the time? You gave a great idea to read a book I knew nothing about then you had to be you. | mytimewillcome wrote: | | PastorJackson wrote: | | I have been in services where it was brought up by my former Pastor who had just graduated from the PTS that they quit teaching the speaking in tongues as being divisive. If not true that great but if it is then there is a huge problem. |
Sounds like your "former pastor" liked to get people stirred up like the Music Man in River City.
It always makes for a shoutin' time in a sermon but it is simply not true.
I went to PTS. I experienced more worship and speaking in tongues in class there than the most COG's i've been to.
Read the President of the PTS' book "Pentecostal Spirituality" and see his stance on it. Wait, that would be too hard. Better to take a preachers sermon point as the gospel than read for yourself. |

Thank you. Well stated. | burned out wrote: | Is it just me, or does anyone else look at this dialogue and think of StringBender defending unions?
Yes it is good to give exact examples when speaking of someone specific; however, I am not sure that one can cast aspersions on someone without issuing a name.
When speaking of an entity I would think that generalizations would be easy to defend with specific details. Instead of giving what should be easy proof that these generalization are untrue, you guys attack those that are making statements/asking questions.
If you speak against the local assembly where I worship, it would not bother me at all. 1) I know the truth about our assembly 2) I can easily dismiss false accusations with factual information. But to get upset and complain about the people asking questions/making false statements, well that would reek of a weak defense...probably making someone listening more prone to believe that there is a problem. |

That's interesting. I've never seen anything like that happen.
Regardless, however, I would not vote for either. If both are DNC candidates, then both support the murder of children. If I were to vote for either, I would be supporting it, as well, since I would be supporting the platform they're running upon and have pledged to support.[/quote]
Such stupifying ignorance can't be reasoned with!
Thankfully you are not God. |

Local elections do not have primaries.
If no one gets a majority - the top two vote getters face each other in a runoff.
It has often been two Republicans - it could also have been two democrats.
Perhaps Honolulu is the same way.
