Religion and Politics

I want to tackle an issue that we Christians must tackle while we have a choice to vote. I am not saying that we need to vote for a certain candidate or with a certain party but based on the word of God.

As Christian in America, we need to protect the morals of the Bible. We need to stand up and show the unbeliever that their sins are not welcome to Heaven. What sins do you ask? Homosexuality, abortion, and a false gospel that lead people away from God.

First with homosexuality. 1 Corinthians 6:5-10 clearly states,

I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers, but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers? To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? But you yourselves wrong and defraud—even your own brothers! Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.(ESV)

The King James uses the word effeminate, which means 1)having feminine qualities untypical of a man : not manly in appearance or manner or 2) marked by an unbecoming delicacy or overrefinement (merriam-webster.com).
The word effeminate in Greek is malakos which means:

1. soft, soft to the touch:
2. metaph. in a bad sense,
• effeminate
1. of a catamite
2. of a boy kept for homosexual relations with a man
3. of a male who submits his body to unnatural lewdness
4. of a male prostitute (Blueletterbible.org)

These are not my words but God's word. The agenda of the homosexuals are to make their sins equal to the Christians who have repented and trusted. Homosexuals can not go to heaven when they continue to live in a homosexual lifestyle. Homosexuality is a chosen lifestyle and is not natural. Homosexuality is a sin that came because of the fall of man.

Abortion is also another issue that Christians must be against. A current presidential candidate has been quoted saying that children are a curse because of a sin that created it (ie rape, sex outside of marriage) but yet fatherhood starts at conception. I do not believe that when a baby is aborted, that the baby could be the next greatest thing on earth, but I do believe that every child is a gift for God no matter how it was started. A women who was raped could give the baby up for adoption and that child can be an answer to a prayer for a married man and woman. Did you know that more African-American child have been aborted then who died because of oppression in America. African-Americans have been killing more of THEIR OWN than what the white Americans have done since the creation of the US. So is abortion right?

And now I tackle the reason behind all of this and it deals with "churches" that claim to preach the true Gospel. The problem is that they do not mention that ALL WILL GO TO HELL unless you repent (turn from sin) and trust in Christ. These "churches" has fallen away from the Word of God and preach what the people want to hear. They also try and use the government to do what CHRISTIANS are called to do. Christians must go and help the poor and preach the whole gospel, the law/hell and grace/Jesus. Helping the poor does not advance the will of God, the will of God is to preach the whole gospel to the whole world.

As I do not currently go a preach the gospel to the lost, I do give money to people who do and shortly will be going to start preaching to the lost.

With all this said, as Christians we must understand the Word of God and vote based on what it says. We see that a disobedient country will fall to the hand of God and God wrath will be against that country. Tornadoes, floods, and hurricanes are all weapons that God uses to show us his wrath. Even those natural disaster, God shows his power and also shows that he is above all things.

So voting for a liberal agenda will undermine God and that is not what a country should do when it was started based on God's value of life and morality. Let us not turn away from God or let the earthquakes shake our country down.
