LOL...
Here is the informative
- I'm a pastor and there are Christians in our church that are Democrat
- I'm an indépendant and the only reason I am registered Republican is to influence the system.
- Painting a broad brush that Republicans have NO interest in people is erroneous because:
- People are people. You have those who have no interest as well as those who do
- It makes it sound like that Democrats and Independents are all virtuous people and have no interest in corporations.
- It assumes that Democrats don't need votes to survive and don't cater to corporations and organizations to get their vote
- It assumes that ALL laws desired by Christians are "evil". Not sure even which laws have been postulated that are evil.
- It assumes, erroneously, that we are "MARRIED" to the Republican party which, if they are an evangelical, most of the times would be false. We are married to a Kingdom where Jesus is King.
- It forgets that a majority of Evangelicals want to get the "rot" out of politics
- It makes it sound like Evangelicals should just vote for those people that you think should be in office
I could go on and on...
Is this your personal statement? Or are you repeating an 'evil' media promoted agenda?
If I state that ‘the sky is blue’, it is not assumed that the sky cannot be orange, nor is assumed that something else cannot be blue. Perhaps the assumption is in you?
Simple statements of fact do not assume anything else. Only the reader creates the assumptions. Which arise from the blindness of the reader.
Christians, and very very much, specifically, evangelicals are not married to a kingdom where Jesus is King, except in words.
Please check out some of these:
John 3:18
James 2:17
Matthew 5:16
Matthew 12:33-35
Matthew 7:21-23
James 2:26
Luke 6:46
James 3:13
There are so many more.
Saying the sinners prayer at an alter call, does nothing for a person’s salvation (spiritual life)
Going to church does nothing for a person’s salvation (spiritual life)
A person is not in the Lord if the Lord is NOT in the person.
How can we be assured that the Lord is within?
Only through actions. Our actions reflect our wisdom. Wisdom only comes from the Lord, not a church or pastor. The church or pastor can only provide facts.
For instance: John 13:34 A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
You can preach this to your church, but it is only a fact. Like any other statement you may read from any other book. It does not become wisdom (from the Lord) until it is coupled with an action from the person who hears it. Knowledge of the Bible is useless without love.
LOVE
LOVE
Something missing from the Republican Party. Love of money, love of corporations, love of tax breaks for billionaires, love of controlling other people, love of building walls to keep ‘those’ people away from us. These are NOT the things the Lord speaks of when he talks of Love.
A person can only vote for the evil candidates that do evil, because they haven’t the slightest idea what it means to LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Our Lord commanded that, and if you observe the bible in totality, that is the message.
The votes that were instrumental in getting the insane evil in office which controls the US, were the evangelicals. The blind.
But then of course, the rest of us who must suffer through this great evil period must still remember the Lord’s words: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.“ Luke 23:24.
Sorry I broke my own rule about bible verses, but I want you to know that I am quite familiar with the Bible.
And ANYONE who really is interested in the Word (which IS the Lord), instead of interested in supporting their self centered illusions through cherry picked Bible verses, would know that the Lord has ABSOLUTELY no interest in walls to be built by evil leaders, nor any interest in filling our supreme court with evil people selected by an evil president elected by evil people so the court can pass laws to oppress other people.
LOVE, not a wall
LOVE, not reduced benefits to poor, sick, and elderly (so billionaires can get richer)
LOVE, not anti homosexual bullshiet.
LOVE, not: I’d rather have a child molester in office than a Democrat”
I could go on and on as well.
