We already know Ron Paul is the most legitimately Conservative Candidate Running, but I want to Argue now why I feel he is even the most Consistent with the Biblical view of Government.
Last Month there was a Debate held by Christian Leader, which all 4 CFR Neo-Con Front Runners blew off (The Media keeps rightfully condemning them for lowing off the Black and Hispanic Voters Debates but besides the Daily Show doesnt say a Word on this one) They also Intended for a similar Debate with the Democrats but they all turned them down.
You can watch the Debate here if you want to.

Of those present Ron Paul was technically the Biggest Defecting from the Rest even thou I principal he was in agreement with them on everything but the War. His differences where mostly base don his Methods.
Despite this however he got the biggest Reaction form the Crowd after his Introduction, and had people Chanting his Name after the Debate was over, and came in 2nd Place to Huckabee in the Polls among those who attended afterwards.
The first question asked was on Gay Marriage in which he was the only one not wanting to support a Constitutional Amendment even thou hes just as moral opposed to Homosexuality as the rest of them. He in fact expressed what has been my exact view on the Subject all along. See all these people who talk about how Important the Biblical Institution of Marriage is Biblical contradict themselves because the point is God Ordained Marriage BEFORE the State, the State has no Authority to approve of disapprove of ANY Marriage Heterosexual or not. Real Christians should be Opposed to the Government issuing Marriage licenses at all, cause all they are is another Contract to give the Government control of our Lives, and people only Supported it cause it allowed Tax breaks to married couples, but Ron Paul intends to end the Income Tax all together so that wont matter anymore.
When Abortion came up he mentioned having Introduced a Sanctity of Life Act which fro some Reason hes been unable to gain support for, he also talked about Having been a Doctor and knows from Experience that Life DOES begin at Conception.
There was 1 Issue where Ron Paul definitely had the Crowd more on his side then anyone else. When the North American came up everyone talked about how they Oppose it and how important National Sovereignty is, but ONLY Ron Paul went all the way and vowed to pull us out of the U.N. which I know the vast majority of Conservative Christians hate, and Brownback and supported NAFTA which Ron Paul immediately scolded him for, someone should explain to Brownback how NAFTA simply laid the groundwork for the NAU just like the European Common Market laid the groundwork for the European Union.
Foreign Policy was his biggest difference with the rest, Ron Paul again stated his view on 9/11 about being in retaliation to America5b4s Interventionism in the Middle East and again got dissed for it, but Ron Pauls point is even Biblically accurate, Yes Muslims are told to Hate us right in the Koran but when we do stupid thing it only reinforces what they falsely believe about us, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme-2 Samuel 12:14. Many Christian try to support being Pro War by pointing to the Wars in the Bible (Some of which Israel fought under Gods direct orders), but After their Conquest of Canaan was complete all Israels Wars (At least the ones God approved of) where in Direct Self Defense, God never told them to preemptively attack any Nation that might e a Threat to them, and certainly never sent them to interfere in the affairs of a completely different Continent. In fact after the Kingdom was Divided Judah has a Pagan Nation ran by Ungodly tyrants right on their Northern order for a few hundred years (Israel or Ephraim) which had even conspired with Syria at least once to Invade Judah but NEVER did God encourage Judah to invade it.
The Drug War Issue did come up but Only Ron Paul was asked about it at all. At this point I should express my view as a Christina that not everything Immoral should be Illegal, remember All have Sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God so if you put every sinner in Prison there would e no one left out of it, God will make sure Sin is dealt with Govb68ernment is only ordained to maintain basic law and order, meaning keeping those harmful to others form harming others. The Bible in proverbs especially repeatedly condemns Drunkenness, but it wasnt actually Illegal in ancient Israel. I feel the same way about Prostitution and Gambling. Premarital Sex is Sinful not matter what the circumstances but its perfectly legal unless theres a Finical transaction involved? If you ask me thats Anti Capitalist. As most intelligent people already know outlawing Drugs has only made the problems with them worse.
The Death Penalty didnt come in that Debate surprisingly but anyway Ron Paul only opposes it on the F
