1 | Can a Christian be a Democrat? | 1 Cor 1:10 | survivor | 134007 | ||
Sorry! My irony is lost on the internet. My concern is actually how can we be united when we are being squeezed into Satan's mold. Paul counsels: "Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]." (Rom 12:2) And what are the works of the flesh: "enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper), selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit (factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies)" (Gal 5:19) Can anyone else see the disgrace and the futility in worldly debates? Shouldn't we already know the future and God's will as Christians, well-versed in Scripture? Though every man be found a liar, may God be found true! Personally, I don't care who's elected, nor do I think God cares. The nations are as dust of a scale to Him! (Isa 4);15) |

2 | Can a Christian be a Democrat? | 1 Cor 1:10 | Glory Bound | 134022 | ||
God knows. He knew. And He is. We who know His word, and in whom is His word, know too. It is rather tiring, wouldn't you say, trying to open the eyes of those who claim to see. So sadly do we see their blindness. So proudly do they reveal their ignorance. We will admit that we too, see through glass darkly. but then face to face: now we know in part; but then shall we shall know even as also we are known. I have often wanted to take on the same "don't care" attitude you profess, dear soul, but there is something inside which tells me that this is not why I am here. This is not why our Savior lived and died. PLEASE, as Christians, lets not advocate a "don't care" attitude. Neither with politics, nor the salvation of others. For if we can save one aborted child with our vote; prevent one same sex marriage, there will be one more soul who may lead someone else to Christ, one less perverted househole in America, and we will have done at least one usefull thing in life. Don't let the enemy fool you. God Knows, but this does not mean that He does not care. For it is not His will that any should perrish, but that all should know his Son. "Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. Mat 18:14" Were you to get involved, could you possiably save even one of His little ones?

GB: I agree with your statement: "For if we can save one aborted child with our vote; prevent one same sex marriage, there will be one more soul who may lead someone else to Christ, one less perverted househole in America, and we will have done at least one usefull thing in life." I choose to do this with my Christian ministry - the word of God is powerful. (Heb 4:12) I am not so naive or presumptuous as to think I will stop Bible prophecy from being fulfilled - the love of the greater number will cool off, and things will go from bad to worse. But if I can help one person to accept the good news before the end comes, I will have (and have had) great cause for rejoicing. I spend considerable time, effort and financial resources in this regard, so that no one can legitimately claim I have a "don't care" attitude. I am convinced that living a Christlike life and speaking about the undeserved kindness of God to all that will listen is the best way to follow Jesus' example and please God. Personally,I find politics degrading and ineffective for doing God's will. Despite any small exceptions, I believe history and the present state of world affairs can attest to this fact. Your friend. |
