The following is quoted from a previous post, but I removed the identification because I'm not directing this at that particular poster; I'm simply using his statement, which is echoed by many.
The "fact" is that Trump has been noncommittal about gay marriage.
The "fact" is that Trump has said he is not for abortion; but what evidence do we have that he is not for abortion? Or will do anything about it?
-- Remember: abortion is primarily addressed at the congressional or Supreme Court. The only argument you can make is that Trump could propose conservative judges; but those still have to be approved by congress.
Do I *know* Hillary will be bad? Yes.
Do I *believe* Trump will be no different? Yes.
In the fable of the scorpion and the frog (or the wolf, depending on who's telling the fable), the scorpion says he stung the frog because it was his nature. I expect Trump to be Trump. I expect him to focus on what he knows, which is the economy and business. Social issues? I don't expect any changes.
Who won the debate tonight?

I said 8 things. Which do you find disagreement with?:
1. Warmongering is wrong.
2. That I don't believe the GOP is defined by warmongering.
3. That some people associate the GOP with warmongering.
4. That it is not fair to reduce sin down to "abortion".
5. That we are accountable for our vote, for our actions, for what we support.
6. That we are called to holiness.
7. That we are not to stand against evil except that stand be for God.
8. That Christians should be identified not for what we stand against but by our stand in Christ. -

But the Democrat/Hillary Party platform is clear. They support and even commend infanticide and the resultant genocide.
How's that? :) -
I never said that you were a Republican. I don’t know your political affiliation…but like many here, with that statement I assume you are “independent”. I am a Republican. Like I suggested to TCassidy – God is not one to take our side on these issues. You may think that the Holy Spirit is “telling” you to vote for Trump, but I seriously doubt He speaks such direct revelations in that manner. We are to be obedient to God. Concentrate on that when you decide what to support and I think you'll be OK.
I never said that you were accountable to me, or anyone else. We are accountable to God for how we use what we have been given in this life (to include our voices). I agree.
My question is not what you believe, or what you think I may believe, but where you actually disagree with what I said (I’ll tell you what I believe…you don’t have to make things up).
You answered.

From 1970 to 2010, the population of Blacks in the United States increased steadily from 22 million to nearly 39 million in 2010. Abortion in the black community isn't leading to genocide.
Now in the white community that just might be the case as white births continue to slow and there are fewer births and more deaths. That's one of the things leading to a non-white population majority in the near future.
How's that? -

So no, I don't think it a false dichotomy. The reason is Paul's words that it is not us but Christ in us. Men may do the same things but for very different reasons. We need to stand in Christ, this stand will materialize in how we act, and how we vote, even when we differ. This is because we are not perfect but moving from glory to glory. Our motivation should always be Christ.
