"Although I think Palin will energize the conservative base, I don't think the Palin pick does anything for progressive evangelicals," said Jones, who caucused for Obama.
I don't know anything about Jones or his niche in the so-called "progressive evangelical" movement, but I am very skeptical of anyone who calls himself a Christian of any group or denomination and still supports the ant-Christian, unGodly, liberal social agenda of the Democrat party and it's candidates. Any true Christian who supports a candidate or party whose primary objective is to keep the American holocaust legal will have to answer for their choice when they stand before Jesus Christ.
That will be at the Believer's Judgement (2Cor 5:10) where the works of every Christian's life will be judged and rewards given for good works or withheld because of evil works. No Christian is saved by his of her good works. Jesus paid the penalty for our sin with His own life's blood, and salvation comes by faith in Him alone and not by our righteous works (Gal 2:16).
But our works in our earthly lives, whether good or evil, will be the deciding factor in the rewards that are to be given or withheld at Jesus' Judgment seat. Those Christians whose works are abominable in His sight will be saved "so as by fire" (1Cor 3:15), but they will suffer losses greater than they can possibly imagine now.
And IMHO, voting for or supporting in any way an anti-Christian, pro-abortion, pro-sodomy candidate, such as the Democrats nominate every four years, is an abomination for any Christian that he or she will answer for when they stand before their Lord.
Progressive is progressive — just like in a political context. :-(
