But, when one believes in Christ and claims abortion is a right from God, then politics is part of religion, because all we do, and all we have should be guided by our faith.
Thus, a good Pastor will guide his members to know which politician to vote for. If he does not, then he is not properly guiding his flock.
Thus my politics is as much of me as my faith, for I do nothing political that is not controlled by my faith. Thus God is always in control.
I don’t view abortion as a political issue. “Thou shalt not kill” is straight from the Bible, and doesn’t require a party affiliation. “Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molek” is also clearly religious, not political. Religion is above politics, and I don’t believe in watering it down.
Your pastor advising you which politician to vote for is an example of bringing religion into politics, not politics into religion, such as your elected official telling you which church to attend.
