agreed
I couldn't have said it better myself. I've been saying for a long time that so-called "conservatives" have been emulating the liberals 'cuz they turn to the federal government to prohibit things they don't like (drugs, porn, queer marriage, abortion, etc.) rather than prating & working for a more Christ-like society.
Just like the liberals, they have been working from the top down rather than from the bottom up, & doing so has come back to bite them in the hind end.
Just like the liberals, they have worked @ giving the federal government additional powers that are not written out in the Constitution rather than letting the States decide these issues like the 9th & 10th Amendment requires....& look where we are today: a national debt of nearly $11 TRILLION & growing, w/ no end in sight.
The problem is that the liberal churches are the only ones who get to preach politics. These are the ones Hillary and Barack and every other democrat who never go to church, go to when they are campaigning. Totally fine for the libs to do this.
Everyone gets a stick up their butt when it’s a conservative church trying to do that.
It is an injustice that churches are not able to talk openly and honestly as they see it (except for the libs again) about politicians in their city, state or nation. We all know that freedom existed from before the founding of this country to 1954 with LBJ adding that law as a Texas senator to get certain non-profit groups off his back. He didn’t ever see it being used against churches but nobody ever changed it. that should be dumped and churches need to weigh in on political issues because there are always issues of morality behind political decisions, and that’s why half the time it seems Christians get duped: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
Churches need to get their kids out of the atheistic and secular humanist govrernment schools.
If Christian churches are to preach, there **most** important mission field is, first and foremost, their **own** children!
James. James is the ultimate internal smackdown book for a church, IMO.
“Maybe if the Churches would get out of politics and get back to preaching this will be reversed. Too much reliance on Caesar to pass laws.”
My people have worshiped our Triune God in the same manner for better than 1600 years. It doesn’t get much more conservative than that...and we stay out of politics, rendering unto Caesar only that which is Caesar’s. The world will change when people experience that metanoia which only faith in Christ can bring about through the Holy Spirit. Involving The Church in the political affairs, left or right, of the world cheapens its spirituality and distorts its Christian message.
