When the minister told people to support George Bush or get out of he church, it crossed the line of politics, IMO.
To outright tell people to vote for Bush was wrong. And to vote members out because the did was wrong.
But I feel that a church has a right, more importantly, they have a duty to expose the stands of politicians. Democrat, Republican, or whatever. They have a responsibility to preach the word of God, and the moral issues it addresses. And if ANY politicians stands don't measure up to the tenets of God, he should not be elected. Now you might not agree with that, and thats ok. But thats my beliefs, based upon the ultimate law, the word of God, and I'm allowed to vote according to my beliefs. And for a pastor to not lead his people according to Gods word is not a true servant of God. And the government should have no power WHATSOEVER what can be preached from a pulpit.
Now of course, that doesn't mean that subversion to the government should be "preached", because thats not biblical.
Hey look at Louis Farrakhan. He preaches everything political, and no one does a thing to him.
