Democratic Black churches have been doing it for decades!

It’s past time Republican churches leveled the playing field!

It is not necessary to endorse by name.

Simply point out that it is immoral for Christians to support or endorse politicians or measures who’s actions or results are contrary to God’s laws.

I’s OK as long as it’s a BLACK (as in WHITES not allowed) church and supports the Dhimmocrats.

Only if they are endorsing Democrats - it’s allowed - written on the back of the Constitution.

I think they should denounce candidates from the pulpit. Problem with endorsing candidates is the candidate could be lying (George Ryan, 1998; Barry Goldwater, 1980; both on abortion).

Canonization should always wait until after death.

Yes, if it is their desire to do so and it should be done without fear of repercussions from government. Colonial churches planted the seeds of the American revolution and that tradition should be honored.

"It was Sunday morning early in the year 1776. In the church where Pastor Muhlenberg preached, it was a regular service for his congregation, but a quite different affair for Muhlenberg himself. Muhlenberg's text for the day was Ecclesiastes 3 where it explains, 'To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven; a time to be born, and a time to die, a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted...'"

"Coming to the end of his sermon, Peter Muhlenberg turned to his congregation and said, 'In the language of the holy writ, there was a time for all things, a time to preach and a time to pray, but those times have passed away.' As those assembled looked on, Pastor Muhlenberg declared, 'There is a time to fight, and that time is now coming!' Muhlenberg then proceeded to remove his robes revealing, to the shock of his congregation, a military uniform."

"Marching to the back of the church he declared, 'Who among you is with me?' On that day 300 men from his church stood up and joined Peter Muhlenberg. They eventually became the 8th Virginia Brigade fighting for liberty."

"Frederick Muhlenberg, Peter's brother, was against Peter's level of involvement in the war. Peter responded to Frederick writing, 'I am a Clergyman it is true, but I am a member of the Society as well as the poorest Layman, and my Liberty is as dear to me as any man, shall I then sit still and enjoy myself at Home when the best Blood of the Covenant is spilling? ...So far am I from thinking that I act wrong, I am convinced it is my duty to do so and duly I owe to God and my country."



A Christian who isn't politically active is no Christian at all.

The idea that if you do, you lose your tax free status is ridiculous. Who came up with that??

Obama virtually declared war on my Church, and there was nary a peep from the pulpits.

Only if they endorse Democrats, otherwise it should be illegal.

What! Wait! That's the way it is now!

Denouncing and giving reasons and examples of past actions and words would be much better.

"Should Pastors Endorse Candidates From The Pulpit?"

YES, I want to know where the Pastors stand and it tells me a lot about the candidate based upon who is doing the endorsement. YES on both accounts.

“Mormon cultist.”

Any bozo can pretend to be “right with Jesus Christ.” Anyone who votes for or endorses a politician because he’s “right with Jesus” is also a bozo.

It’s idiocy like this that gave us Jimmy Carter. And Obola.

What matters is what the politician will do in office. I’ll take an insincerely pro-life Mormon cultist over a sincere baby-murderer any day.

PRAY for Country. Consider voting Biblical Principles - view www.123vote.com and the Youtube Video at iPledge.

You can see iPledge Video via the Link at the bottom of the www.123vote.com web page.

We would be much better off as a County if we had Mitt Romney as President vs. the current occupant of the WH.
