My Christian and Political Opinion Ping List
Faith and politics are written into law as being intertwined.
The first amendment speaks to this.
Democrats and Communists want to eliminate organized religion because they see it as a threat to their power.
See the Soviet Union and their treatment of Orthodox Christians, Jews and all other religions.
It is not possible to separate one’s faith from any aspect of his life, including his politics.
The pastor of my congregation has quite enough to do without presuming to advise me on matters political. That is no part of his professional functions or obligations. He can, and should relate the precepts and teachings of religious doctrines and teachings to public policy issues, but never presume to instruct me or my fellow parishioners on how or for whom to vote. He is no better equipped for that role than am I and my fellow laymen.
The issue of separation of politics and religion can, I suggest, best be dealt with by asking the politician if his actions in office are congruent with the last six of the Ten Commandments.
The Founders were quite clear about this being a form of government suited only for a moral and religious people.
What galls me, is a politician that claims to have faith, and then turns around and says their religion will NOT influence the way that THEY would rule over us.
WORTHLESS!
Is there any aspect of this existence where Christ isn’t sovereign?
