41 | Can a Christian be a Democrat? | 1 Cor 1:10 | Glory Bound | 134044 | ||
Will do. Thank you mommapbs, but I stand by statements concerning the posts to which they are attached. I appologize if I appeared to be critical of Hank. Though we often dissagree, I love that fella. I also respect him very much. GB |

Dear mommapbs, you read my mind and state the words I forget. GB |

43 | Can a Christian be a Democrat? | 1 Cor 1:10 | Glory Bound | 134038 | ||
Thank you, dear soul for putting it like it is, without the "political correctness" demanded by so many who profess, yet know not what it is that they profess. Might I add concerning "the party of the Homosexuals, Abortionists (Murderers) and Generations of Welfare recipients", that "Anyone who condones these acts is (not just spiritually blind,) but spiritually DEAD," for we can not serve two masters. Nor can we serve one master while advocating the actions of the other. Those who think otherwise should reevaluate their position in Christ. Sadly, many are into the Word, but it is through their actions and words, that the evidence surfaces, that the Word has yet to make its way into them. GB |

Point 1: There are biblical attributes to this person’s question. If such a discussion is inappropriate for this forum, perhaps this forum is not the forum it appears to be, a biblical discussion forum. Point 2: Being a Christian is not only believing in Christ, but living in Him, and teaching others to do the same. Being a Christian is much more than what you, dear soul, have denoted. Point 3: We cannot pass judgment on anyone, but it is by the authority of the Living Word that we ARE to judge on the ACTIONS of others. Point 4: Perhaps this person’s terminology could have been better chosen, but who are we to judge his heart, and what he is trying to say? Can we not simply correct the terminology? Are we not all “saved sinners,” or are there some among us who have no sin? Can you Hank, vote for one who is a murderer by association? Or are we, because we are Christians, not to vote, or advocate what it is we are to live by, the Word? If I were to knowingly vote for one who advocates abortion, would I not be just as guilty of killing that innocent infant as would be the doctor who sucked out the cranial matter (brains) from that tiny, helpless, living body? Some Christians desire just to sit on the sidelines and watch. I do not believe this is what Christ taught or why He lived, died and rose again. We are told not to be conformed to the world. We are not told to keep our mouth shut and just sit by and watch while the world is conformed to the enemy. GB |

47 | 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? In christ GB |

48 | Can a Christian be a Democrat? | 1 Cor 1:10 | Glory Bound | 134017 | ||
I think it is what the Democrats stand for today that this person is addressing. The so-called "Democratic" party advocate abortion, same sex marriage, etc, etc, and it seems, everything that scripture teaches against. A person who knows scripture and truly loves the Lord [will not] vote for one, no matter the political party, who advocates the opposite of what scripture, teaches. Many who profess to be Christians will, for whatever reason (and whatever reason it is, it is a DEMONIC deception), say that they can support those who advocate such as what the Democratic Party does today, but I have news for them... One, who supports another who murders, or makes it "legal" to murder, will be just as guilty on judgment day as the very doctor who removed the cranial matter (brains) from that partially born infant. There is ABSOLUTELY no medical reason for a partial birth abortion! And the fact of the matter is that fewer abortions are performed with the health of the mother in mind, than simply because the child is not wanted for whatever reason. If you do not believe me, check the stats for yourself. Scripture addresses no specific person or political party concerning such matters. It does however, address specific actions which individuals or political parties may practise. We cannot judge anyone, but for heavens sake people! We have the authority to judge their actions. That authority is called The Word… Scripture… When will we learn to use that authority? GB |

49 | Did God create evil? | Gen 1:31 | Glory Bound | 133916 | ||
God created man. Rather than following Gods one simple rule,(not to eat of the forbidden fruit,) man chose to disobey. Thus the evil of Satan took root. It has flourished ever since. In the beginning, man knew no evil. Through disobediance, his eyes were opened. Through hard headedness, many still choose to follow their own "free will," thinking that they are smarter than God. There is good news and bad news. The good news is that God saw that man was incapiable of maintaining an obediant nature. He sent His Son to pay the price for mans disobediance. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. Romans 6:23 and John 3:15 The above is the good news. It is also the bad news. For, what are the wages of sin? And what is it that one must do that they should not perish? It is bad news to those who do not believe, for if they do not accept the gift of Gods Son, then they themselves must pay that debt... GB |

50 | Was Paul speaking a believer or not one | Rom 7:15 | Glory Bound | 133913 | ||
This is my favorite passage in Romans. Paul was most assuredly speaking as a believer. He was pointing out the battle that goes on in most believers. The battle between the sinful flesh, the lusts thereof, and the Godly desire for righteousness in the mind and soul of the believer. Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. These rulers are not only external, but only too often they are internal. GB |

52 | Jesus' resurrected body? | John 20:27 | Glory Bound | 133911 | ||
With the exception of the infirmities inflicted, Jesus' resurrected body was as it was while he walked on earth. It is apparent that though he bore no ailments, he did bare the scars thereof. John 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. He was inviting "doubting" Thomas to check out the nail holes in His hands; the hole in His side made by the soldier with his spear when they removed him from the cross, and to BELIEVE. GB |

Thanks folks. It appears that somehow I may have posted my original post twice. I appreciate your responses. It took little more than for me to open my bible, for me to remember the following. I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good. So then it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me. So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God, in my inmost self, but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I of myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin. Romans 7:15-25.NIV I pray this passage will be as strenthtening to others as it, and your posts are to me. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. GB |

We all have our ups and downs, our spiritually strong and weak moments. Scripture tells us that we are to judge ourselves. When I do this I can imagine nothing other than what it is I know I deserve. And that, most assuredly isn’t what I desire. Though I know without a doubt that my Savior died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins, I also know, that for every promise in scripture, there is a requirement. There are two sides to every covenant. Try as I may, I cannot uphold my side. My spirit indeed is willing, but my flesh is weak. I do not succumb to the temptation of believing that the only requirement for salvation is to believe, for I know that one must also repent, and that even the demons themselves believe and tremble. Though I am very familiar with scripture, it is when I am weakest that I learn the most. Often I am put in mind of a very familiar passage in a more revealing light. Where do you go when in doubt concerning your salvation? GB |
