The answer is No - as long as the communistic - Islamonazi cabal retains control of the D party apparatus they’ve purchased/hijacked. Once that (essentially anti- American, anti-Christian, anti-Jew) element is removed — and the D party is restored to normalcy, then of course a Christian could be a D again— - it’s fine when folks have differing views. It’s just that their party machines should reflect their views and not be, in effect, under the control of enemy forces

Hard to reconcile the dim support of the murder of the unborn child and pro-homosexual with Christianity. The two don’t blend at all.

Didn’t they take God out of their platform in 2012?

NO! Abortion is one of the democrat’s platform planks. Anyone who votes democrat is complicit in abortion.

Well, at least as far as I know, not a one of them has ever murdered a child or committed acts of homosexuality. I think they can reconcile just fine their living of a good life with the fact that others are free to make their own poor choices.

This ain’t your granddaddy’s D party anymore. They even refused to pledge allegiance at their convention. A serious D party boss house- cleaning needs doing — ASAP!

Bigotry is the unwillingness to consider positions that could refute a held position.

Faith and belief and certainty and experience are not bigotry. Most of the intolerance and bigotry today is held by people who accuse others of bigotry and intolerance, rather than trying to defend their own positions rationally and consider that they themselves might be wrong or biased.

In spirituality, bigotry is almost impossible, because spirituality is based on faith. In politics bigotry is always denied, in favor of chosen political philosophy that denies an effective alternative.

Bigotry is a severely abused word.

“Of course they can. I have dozens of friends who are committed Christians and committed Democrats.”

Can a person be mentally retarded and be a true, born-again Christian? I would think so if their intellect is high enough to understand and believe the necessary truths?

A true (born-again) Christian and a serious, Dem Party person? Well, Paul was a murderer BEFORE he met Jesus. But he changed his life and became a different person AFTER meeting Jesus.

So, answer is no. Once a born-again/true/real Christian, one can not be other than repulsed by the DNC and the Dem Party beliefs, goals and platforms.

One CAN be a “christian” .... along the lines of...in that day, many shall say, Did we not...” But Jesus will say to them, “I never knew you...”

So...poster is either joking or delusional about what a born-again/real/true Christian is...a saved sinner who can and does sin, but seeks to overcome their sins and sin such no more.

And I still remember the time before that when the Democrats booed the Boy Scouts and the American flag as the Boy Scouts were presenting the colors.

The Democrats are evil and are not Americans.

CORRECTION : " In spirituality, bigotry is almost impossible, because spirituality is based on personal faith,
which is intimate , endearing , enduring, and personalized.

we are to help be a light to brothers and sisters as well as those still lost. The Holy Spirit makes them aware of new areas they have been blind (not in line with God and His word) and we can help them along with encouragement and truth in God’s word.

we are all accountable to God for what we do, and could have done but didn’t (for whatever reason)

Yes we all have free will, but folks who call them selves Christian and Democrat are like Laodician Church - trying to live in the middle (world&God mixed loyalties), and Jesus said He’d spit out folks like that. And it’s not just democrats - I know many Republican Christians who are Laodician too (Though the Repub platform tends to line up more with Word of God)

God will help anyone who seeks HIM instead of their old thoughts, habits etc etc.

You may be a great light for them. prayers for your friends and you.

Okay, but still, what other kind of faith is there but personal faith?

I only mentioned that I have many friends who are both Christian and Democrat. I am neither. But thanks for the thought.
