How can someone claim to be saved yet still voted democrat?
I don’t know thіѕ. Seriously. Hοw саn people claim tο bе saved Christians, уеt thеу vote democrat? Thе democrat party goes against everything God stood fοr. Higher taxes, abortion, same sex marriage? I јυѕt don’t know. Thеrе іѕ thіѕ woman іn mу biology class whο claims tο bе a Christian аnd votes democrats аnd I ѕаіd "Uh, sorry tο bе thе one tο tеll уου, bυt уου аrе nοt really saved".
Whаt dο уου rесkοn?
I’m not going to get too many thumbs up for this answer…
I don’t know how anyone could believe in god or in the Democrats. The people who believe in both are the most delusional.
I don’t know it either.
I am a Christan , that’s why I am a socialist.
You make claims against Democrats, but would Jesus really say tough to 47 Million uninsured Americans? Would Jesus favor unprovoked wars for profit? Would Jesus favor dropping high altitude bombs on the pregnant Women in Iraq and Afghanistan?
SOCIALISM MEANS BROTHERHOOD:
"all ye are brethren." (Matthew"23;8)
"Thou shalt like thy neighbor as thyself."(Matthew: 22; 39)
"All things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." (Matthew: 7; 12)
"Let everyone who possesses two shirts share with him who has none, and let him who has food do likewise." (Luke: 3; 11)
"Give to every man that asketh of thee." (Luke: 6; 30)
SOCIALISM MEANS JUSTICE:
"Give and it shall be given unto you…for with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." (Luke: 6; 38)
SOCIALISM MEANS BEING FOR POOR PEOPLE AND AGAINST THEIR OPPRESSORS:
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor…to preach deliverance to the captives." (Luke: 4; 18)
SOCIALISM MEANS OPPOSITION TO THE GREEDY RICH:
"Woe unto you that are rich, for ye have received your consolation."(Luke: 6; 24).
"No man can serve two masters…Ye cannot serve God and mammon." (Matthew: 6; 24)
"It is simpler for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."(Matthew: 19; 23)
SOCIALISM MEANS CHRISTIAN CONCERN FOR SOCIAL PROBLEMS:
Jesus’ life, as well as his teachings, was a model of concern for his fellow human beings. Though poor in material things, he and his disciples shared what they had with all about them. For centuries afterwards, those who called themselves Christians were most noteworthy for the cooperative fellowship that characterized the community in which Jesus lived. For these men, Christianity was a matter of making over their lives to bring the greatest excellent to mankind. So, too, for many of the early Christian missionaries who came to Jamaica. It was Churchmen like Knibb, Burchell and Sharpe who fought the planters and got slavery abolished. Land settlement to provide land for the freed slaves and public education for the children of the poor also came about through the efforts of these right Christians. George Williams Gordon and Bogle of St. Thomas were Churchmen who were willing to suffer martyrdom to improve the conditions of the people.
Abortion and gay marriage should not even be issues for the party platforms…those are state’s rights issues.
hahahaha…
you really reckon god is for lower taxes…
did a pixie from him come and tell you?
i didn’t know god had a position on economics
i hope you get around to banning divorce soon and other ungodly things like red lobster
"The democrat party goes against everything God stood for"
You clearly know very small about the Democratic party or God.
God bless…you’re going to need it.
It was a choice between two evils as always. I voted for the least evil.
religion and politics never mix very well…….not all democrats bekieve in same sex marriage….
I don’t know the thinking behind that myself, but be careful about judging someone else’s salvation. You don’t know whether they are or not. Only God does.
I don’t get that Tiller was an Usher in a church.
Judge ye not, lest ye be judged. Matthew 7:1
Some one that is saved would not judge others and certainly not judge others on the way they cast a political vote.
Jesus despised the hypocrisy of the organized religion of his day & so do I
Jesus hung out with the rejected people, but didn’t reject anyone himself, me too.
The better question is:
How can someone believe in Jesus, and NOT vote Democrat?
So you’re saying that God wants you to vote Republican? God supports, war, torture, the oppression of minorities and the bombing of children? Do you know how many wars have been fought where both sides were sure God supported them in slaughtering the other side? Why do so many Christians act like Jesus never existed? Did he preach violence and hatred? Not in the bible I read.
Not every democrat believes the same things. No I’m no democrat but I am a christian and I know God knows my heart.
Obama and McCain have the same positions on same sex marriage.
I’m curious, what do higher taxes have to do with religion?
Why do you have such narrow thinking? Did it occur to you that just because someone is democratic doesn’t mean they support abortion?
Hell, I’ve seen a Republicn vote for a democrat before.
And please keep your religion to yourself. I am NOT evil because I am a democrat. I just believe in helping out my fellow man, unlike republicans.
How can somoebody who calls his or herself a follower of Christ could NOT be a liberal
If Jesus of Nazareth was anything, he was an extraordinary friend of the down-trodden, certainly a Liberal, whose advocacy on their behalf so infuriated the ultra-Conservative religious and political leaders of his day that they had him killed to prevent the public from hearing the very liberal teaching that you will see quoted abundantly in Jesus’ own words on this web site !
Those who really know what the Bible says about the life and teaching of Jesus recognize that far from being like Jesus of Nazareth, today’s "Religious Right" are much more like the kind of clerics who battled this revolutionary prophet from the day he opened his mouth until the day they had him nailed to a cross. Although these people claim to represent Jesus Christ, they rarely quote his teaching or follow his example. What they do instead is use his name ("in vain") to promote their thoughts, thoughts which Jesus himself did not teach, and might well have opposed

Christs message was one of like, and doing the best for all those around you, since we are all Gods children.
Republican policies have been associated with unnecessary murderous wars, hurting those around us by not being unwilling to pay taxes to help the poor and needy, and by bearing fake witness about the crimes we have committed, some of which are in the name of God.
So voting Democrat doesnt stop you being saved. It depends on what your intentions are in your vote. God listens to your heart and your mind. God doesnt care who you vote for, as long as your intentions are those that Jesus taught – ie. like, forgiveness, tolerance, and above all, do not kill.
Sincere Christians who are American citizens try to choose political issues based on the best choices for the country. To suggest that this can be determined from the pulpit is diametrically opposed to the concept of separation of church and state. That’s a fundamental precept in the founding of this country.
The church should concentrate on the arena of sin. We have a country to run.
I have often wondered this myself. But now that I’m older I know. There are a lot of people out there who call themselves Christians, really go to church, know the Bible, speak the lingo, and believe that they are saved, but do not have Christ in their hearts and in the center of their lives. These people are the people in the book of Revelations that belong to the church that was "lukewarm" and because it was "lukewarm God spit it out of his mouth. Living in the times we are in there are a lot of "lukewarm" and even fake christian churches around. So, it’s not surprising to find a Christian who is a democrat. Just tell them they need to take a closer walk with Jesus because when you are a Christian you like the things he likes and despise the things he despises. Then leave it at that.
You might as well question why every Christian doesn’t have the same beliefs.
Democrats or Republicans or members of any other party for that matter do not always adhere to a single party viewpoint on every issue. People tend to vote on issues that are vital to them, or vote against specific people, or blame a party for a particular state of affairs and vote against that party as a whole.
What I really wonder though is why you’re commenting on someone else’s state of grace when you don’t know this issue.
Of course you don’t know this. That’s why home schooling is a dimwitted thought.
Religion and politics are completely separate.
If you haven’t noticed america like most developed countries is a secular state.
