You don't see a connection between Christianity and Conservatism? Nope The precise problem with the GOP.

Any Christian who sees fulfillment in the Republican party or any other earthly kingdom is a heretic.

Well, the Christian is under no illusion that a Republican victory is any better than a Democrat victory, in terms of the Kingdom of God. In that respect, neither are any better than the other.

However, that being said, there are platform issues that one party has which is in accord with certain issues in the Bible and Christianity, and others which are not in accord -- depending on which party and/or candidate you are talking about. And as far as those particular issues are concerned, either you support or reject them, as you come across them, either as a candidate or as a party.

So, when it comes to a candidate who doesn't represent the Biblical position on some point, then you have to oppose it. That is -- reject it as a Christian, as as one who votes. It's not based upon which party should win and which party should lose. You seem to be basing it on which party should win.

That's all it amounts to with a Christian. It's not a matter of whether the Republican party or the Democrat party should win or their proposed candidate should win, or who might win if I don't support this or that candidate.
