If God were walking among us as human, would he be Liberal or Conserva

[luke22ministries]

Jesus Christ seems to be the most popular figure in American politics. You can walk into any evangelical church in suburban America and the bumper stickers supporting Conservative candidates would look as numerous as the stars in the parking lot. Have you ever looked? Think that is piety? Well how about driving down to an inner city church in Chicago. You will see so many O bumper stickers with a red, white and blue rainbow (the Obama 2012 bumper sticker) that you might beleive the letter just replaced A atop of the alphabet.

Both parties quote and claim reference to the bible when talking about the reason for their passion. From the national health care bill, to debt, to abortion, to same sex marriage, to medicare and medicaid both sides that you talk to believe they have a mandate from God. So lets get to the bottom of this. Would God be a Democrat or a Republican. Read this article and respond.

Which party platform do you think God supports? Democrats, Republicans, neither, parts of both? Do your feelings come from specific biblical scripture or gut feeling. How would you address someone with a different political leaning in a church setting if these topics were discussed?

Honestly, since he is going to destroy all the nations and bring them under his rule I can't imagine he's too happy with either party. As far has someone with differing political ideals, the main things in the bible are the plain things. As long as they don't try to change those main things then I don't have a problem but if they do then I feel that we should correct them so they don't start to drift away following false doctrine.

Thats a great answer Peter. I know that in my church, politics is a hot button issue. If there is even a whif of that, some people get up and walk out.

Joshua 5

13 Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, "Are you for us or for our enemies?" 14 "Neither," he replied, "but as commander of the army of the LORD I have now come."

I believe what you have asked is the wrong question. The better question is which party platform is on the Lord's side?

[~candice~]

Yes the question needs reversing.

God is not constrained by this two party system. It is a design of man.

The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

Very true. So, folks, what party platform do you think is on the side of the Lord?

Well, we'd have to break that one down by issues.

The truth is that neither or none of the parties (if you include Independents) are on the side of the Lord - because that is not their goal and objective. We do the best we can to focus our collective parties into what we believe is the Lord's ways, but the parties themselves are not in it for the Lord.

Obviously we side with the party that we believe is more in line with the Lord's ways than the other. But if we seek perfect alignment, we couldn't belong to any party...which would mean we couldn't vote.

It's a crazy mixed bag.

Right! Political parties and philosophies are a creation of men, not God. No political party or movement has God at its center, irregardless of what they may claim. It's all about social and national policies and choices, not about advancing God's plan or message.

[luke22ministries]

All true. However, both political parties court evangelical Christians. The Republicans count on them and they have a large influence on Republican primary voting...however, urban church goers have just as much of a influence on the Democratic primary. Without inner city vote or rural evangelicals and that influence, neither Bush or Obama would have been in the White House. Are these guys using God for personal gain or do you think these parties actually believe that what they stand for is the same as what God himself commands of us?
