LIBERAL CHRISTIANS?

[Guest kitkat]

Greetings LadyC,

I see that we do have areas in which we CAN agree.

Keep up the fight!

Blessings,

Dad Ernie

cerran, maybe this will help you understand.... the founding fathers did NOT want God to be left out of our government.

they DID want RELIGION left out of our government.

to leave God completely out of our government is to become a completely amoral society, not much (if any) better than the ones hussein or bin ladin were running. we're headed that direction as it is, because our society has worked so hard to remove any traces of God in government. do we, as christians, really want to push that agenda along?

I agree, but I see many people here forget that God does not always mean Christianity. Although we would like all people to know Jesus it just isn't going to happen, but I keep trying =).

I am not normally a very active person in politics. This year, however, I have taken a more active role in helping choose those who run our country.

This years election is getting closer. We need to get behind those leaders who stand for godliness. Those leaders who profess Jesus Christ as Lord and live the life. George W. Bush is a praying man. I am told he seeks the Lord on the matters that concern our nation. He has a compassionate heart. He seeks the face of the Lord for wisdom.

The Lord truely has "Shed His grace" on America. Today we can see by the issues that our nations is facing, issues like, gay marriage, abortion, homosexuals in church pulpits etc., etc., that we need strong leadership that is not afraid nor ashamed to let everyone know that it is the God of the Bible he trusts in.

I looked this up in Websters and was pleased at what I read.

Republican Party: one of two great parties. It's beliefs are that of a republic: soverign power resides with the electorate and exercised by elected officials.

It was organized in 1854-56 for oppossing the extension of slavery.

The Democratic Party: one of two great parties. Established in 1828. Favors social equality, not snobbish or socially exclusive.

I don't remember the issue of can a Christian be a democrate or liberal, ever coming up in years past.

Because of the issues facing our nation today, however, issues like gay marriages, and partial birth abortion, etc., etc..and because the Democratic party seems to lean in favor of these issues, I don't think it is wise to let this now too liberal party into office. However, there are those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and so to say every democrate is too liberal is as foolish as saying every republican is against abortion. It is wise to get to know the candidates. I have not always been one to search out backgrounds. I have taken anothers opinion and said well if he's o.k with you, then he's fine with me...which is o.k to a point, like if President Bush approves him or her, but not wise all the time. I will tell you something that I have never confided to anyone before because I believe in a person's right to personal privacy when voting, plus too many arguements arise...but because I believe this election is so important...I normally vote a straight republican ticket. I have no qualms in telling you , however, that if it comes to my attention that a certain republican was a too liberal thinker and the better opponate was a democrate, I would split my ticket. The Lord comes first in every choice.

I have also discovered that those people who rage at anyone being a democrate and yet being a Christian, are usually those who have a critical spirit and don't even go to church themselves.

Get out and vote! It is a divine right given to us by the Lord. If we all thought that voting didn't matter men like Sadam Hussen could rule our nation.

"Almighty God. We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection...and that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with charity and humility...which are the charecteristics of the Devine Author of our blessed religion. Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."---George Washington

"God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are a gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, and that His justice cannot sleep forever."---Thomas Jefferson

"Earnestly praying, as we are in duty bound, that the Supreem Lawgiver of the Universe by illuminating those to whom it is addressed may, on the one hand, turn their counsels from every act which would affront His holy prerogative, or violate the trust committed to them; and on the other, guide them into every measure which may be worthy of His blessing."---James Madison, known as the father of our constitution.
