Let's think about this question...abortion? Conservative. I don't think Jesus would want to be around the current Democrats, other than try to offer salvation.
And what would Jesus actually do about abortion?
How comfortable would you be with a law that stated every pregnant mother was to be cared for until her child was born, at tax payers’ expense?
Wouldn’t fly with conservatives at all.
You see, conservatives rightly condemn abortion, and rightly want to outlaw it. But I see very few that open their homes to unwed mothers and care for them and their children. Oh, there are plenty who would condemn them. But few who would put their money where their mouth is.
You call into a trap when you try to pick an issue and take a simplistic, non-real-world stand on it. Jesus came for this world, to redeem it. His ways are neither conservative nor liberal. He will not fall into that trap.
Further, the very idea that the solution to our problems can be fixed with more or less government, or one party over another, is pure heresy. Jesus and his Gospel are the only things that can save this world. Nothing else can, and placing our trust and hopes in the “right” kind of government (as many conservatives and liberals do) is idolatrous.
TommyDale; Arguing with Silly is well, silly.
Silly; Actually, I think it is the other way around:
Conservatives are conservatives because of Jesus.
We Conservatives have great respect for our Constitution, and the founders of this great country.
The reason for much of its greatness is due to the fact that the founders were Christians, and the Constitution was written from that perspective.
We conservatives will continue to promote conservatives to public office and expose liberals in the hopes that none of them are elected because that is what we do.
