The last 224 years of constitutional elections has only resulted in this nation becoming less Christian and more ungodly, regardless who's elected. After every election, Americans eventually have cause for regret (Proverbs 29:2). And yet, every four years, they march right back to the voting booths with eternal hope (or is it merely short-sightedness?) and do it all over again. It's time we figure out that elections are nothing but a political shell game by which we are always provided the establishment's choice. Christians need to reconsider trying to salvage our nation via non-Biblical means. America cannot elect her way out of her problems; she must repent her way out.

Unlike the God's system, which provides for the appointment of the best of the best – the Constitution (particularly Article 6, which, with its interdiction Christian test oaths, eliminated Biblical qualifications) compels people to (hopefully) elect the best of the worst. It also necessitates political parties that are not only un-Biblical but whose platforms are invariably ungodly. Political parties are the mechanism by which Christian constituents are offered up on the altar of WE THE PEOPLE.

The Constitutional Republic’s surrogate election process is essentially no different from what occurred in Numbers 14 after the Israelites refused to go in and take possession of the land of Canaan. Verse 4 informs us that they clamored for a leader of their own choosing. Nehemiah 9:17 aptly depicts their substitute plan: “[The Israelites] refused to obey … but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage….” History has demonstrated that the Constitutional Republic’s election process has produced spiritual, political, and economic bondage for Americans. Simply put, with men’s elections we lose, and with Yahweh’s elections we win.
