Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Can Democrats Be Christian?

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged......And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye?

Above my pay grade.

No. The model was how pre-king Israelite society was structured during the period of the judges.

Jesus knows.
He wants others to know too.

Very clear...
"He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

Who is the god of this world?

"But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."

It is the devil whose servants want Christ's gospel to be hidden.

If Crappy Hamster can consider himself a Christian...I reckon a Muslim could too.

Actually Muslims do revere Jesus

Thank you for the correction. I don't know what sect of Judaism you belong to, but it is my understanding that at least several sects believe in progressive revelation.

What you said at least partially explains why you are such a good, admirable man.

Exactly. Happy seems to have a problem with that.

Not in the same way true Christians do, for the record.

In That Same Chapter Jesus teaches those who will learn we can know believers by their lives. Jesus even called unbelievers pigs. Believers have an obligation to judge with righteous judgment. If we judge by God's Word and are judged by God's Word every thing will be fine.

I think Christians can start out as Democrats. The better question is can they stay Democrats? Since we're too soon oldt and too late smart - usually, We can reasonably expect a person of faith to eventually realize the truth of a situation and act appropriately. If life isn't sacred to the unborn then life isn't sacred at any age. Most people of faith will eventually have a problem with this. Roe V was something rammed down our throats by a bad court case, and seems to fly in the face of the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

You need to read the book Jesus and Mohammed. You will learn Muslims don't honor Jesus.

He is mentioned in the Koran . Tell a Muslim extremist that you love Jesus and you'll ruffle some feathers.

When Roe vs Wade was decided, were not six of the nine justices on the court Republican-appointed…?

For nearly the last fifty years, have not Republican-appointed justices outnumbered
Democrat-appointed justices…?

We need to define the word Christian. From the standpoint of scripture the word means "Christ Follower" or more accurately perhaps Christ Imitator".
So the teaching of Jesus was about love and peace, and non-conformity with social norms to the point the social norms disagree with God.
So if we hold to the literal teaching of the New Testament a democrat can become a Christian as easily as any other sinner and sinners are those that need salvation from the penalty of their sins. They need Jesus to pay them because it's too late for them and nothing they can do can pay for their own sins other then being cast into the Lake of Fire for ever. (Just like every other Christian)

But the very foundation of the Democrat part (Communist party) is anti-God and if God is for something the Communists are against it. If God is against something the communist (democrats) are for it. From Pharmacia, (drug addiction and use of drugs to manipulate) to mass murder of kids to mass theft of labor, to supporting homosexual activity, to sales of humans as 'tax chattel" (a slave by any other definition) and every other egregious sin you can think of and a lot you probably can't.

So........can a democrat become a Christian? YES! Anyone can. The very worst of us can.

Can a genuine Christian continue to be a democrat, and believe it's OK with God?


Oh Hell no!

Exactly.

I don’t think a democrat baby murder supporter or a godless marxist can or should call themselves a Christian


Also, I don’t think ole “saddleboots” or crosseyed bo from idaho that never cracked open a Bible or has used the last 467 Sundays to be drunk or fishing or sittin on his ass sucking ice milk and watching Big Jake for the 12th time can call themselves one either. Regardless if they are conservative

Because when Democrats select nominees, they go right ahead and select those with clear track records of leftism on the issues of importance to the left. When Republicans select them, they have to select those who have no clear track record on issue of importance to conservatives (or the left will crucify them in the press), so it's a crap shoot.

Judge as in accurately access - yes. Judge as in render condemnation - no. There is a difference

Since Christians are admonished not to associate with those committed to ungodliness, to suggest that Christians are forbidden from exercising judgment of individuals based on Christian principles is absurd.

"Judge not" refers to judging the ultimate disposition of an individual's soul. We are in fact required to judge whether individuals demonstrate a pattern of acting in an ungodly manner, or have a pattern of condoning such actions in others.
