AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 1:10 ¶ But I urge you, believers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in full agreement in what you say, and that there be no divisions or factions among you, but that you be perfectly united in your way of thinking and in your judgment [about matters of the faith]. |
Subject: Can a Christian be a Democrat? |
Bible Note: Norrie: You wrote: "I believe that this country was founded by our forefathers with one thing in mind and that being freedom, mainly the freedom to worship God." I'm not aware of any problems the British citizens in America had with their government as regards freedom to worship. The issue I recall had to do with taxation without representation, and it led to a bloody revolution against the Caesar of the time. Glory Bound and you seem to get the gist of my initial comments (tongue in cheek) - politics divides, rather than unites, Christians. As such, we do well to consider the origin of politics, nationalism, etc. The true God is a God, not of disorder, but of peace. (1 Cor 14:33) I thank those who do not totally ignore my comments made in earnest because we may disagree on certain doctrine. Jesus said that wisdom is proved righteous by works. As someone so correctly pointed out - A Christian is much more than someone that believes. "Anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:27) "By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." (John 13:35) May the "Prince of Peace" continue to be a source of strength and light to you. |
