Christianity / Christian

 I have been in several political conversations with people over the last four or five months who obviously have a preconceived perception of what it means to be a Christian. It is also quite obvious through those conversations that they have no Biblical or personal knowledge of what it means to be a Christian either.

 The progressives have been most successful at diluting and polluting the Biblical description of Christianity and Christians in general. The most common statement I hear is “If that is what your God is like”, followed by something similar to ‘then I want no part of Him’. The very statement itself reveals a complete lack of intimate knowledge of either God or Christianity.

 To set the record straight Christianity itself is not what most people, including many Christians think.  Christianity is a world view not a religion. It is the way a person views the state of the world and it forms their reaction to world events and helps one decide which relationships they should enter into and maintain and which they should avoid altogether. To be a Christian however, is to have a personal relationship with the One True and Living God. It is impossible to be a Christian without that personal relationship, and it is just as impossible to have a “true” Biblical world view without it.

  It should come as no surprise to a believer when they hear people react to seemingly harsh, in their understanding, words that sound judgmental to them. This is a result of being taught, or in some cases indoctrinated into, what is known as a social gospel.  The biggest problem with the ‘social gospel’ that most people have been taught by liberal denominations, the secular media and the general culture is that people now believe  only that God is a God of love. As a result of 50-75 years of only hearing of His love the nominal believer or God-fearer believes that love is Gods highest attribute, and it is not. His highest attribute is Holiness, and it is from His Holiness which all other attributes flow. People have been programed to believe that God will hold no one accountable and that He is only capable of loving and forgiving man even without his asking to be forgiven. They never hear about Judas or the scripture that says Jacob I loved but Esau I hated!

  As we enter the final stages of the political season it is absolutely necessary to understand the Holiness of God and to have a Biblical view of the opposing parties’ platforms. When someone picks a person to vote for they are in essence saying that this person represents who I am and I condone and support his views on the issues of the day. They are your ambassador to the body politic and you will be directly responsible for their votes after they assume office.

 Though no man or political party is perfect it is still the right and responsibility of every ‘legal’ citizen to vote from an informed position and to make every effort to contact their representative to find out where they stand on the most crucial issues facing and shaping society. Issues like where one stands, personally, on the issue of life and marriage and on the right to keep and bear arms are the basic rights to be protected in America. These issues must be known about every person running for a public service position from dog catcher to president. The position held by a candidate on the issue of sodomy (homosexuality to the politically correct, of which I am NOT) is also crucial.

 Sodomy and sodomites are an abomination to the Holiness of God and the scriptures are more than clear that those who practice such will not enter the Kingdom. The recent push to teach our children that sodomy is an acceptable alternate lifestyle needs to be exposed for what it is or it will be held against this nation on the day God judges the nations. We cannot allow the progressives to shape the argument; we must know what we believe and why we believe it or we will lose the argument.

  The choice for Christians in the 2012 election cycle could not be easier to discern. The Democratic/progressive platform is openly anti-American in that it is a disgrace to everything the founders stood for. It calls for abortion on demand including late term and partial birth, sodomy, taxpayer funded abortion, more and stricter gun control and they are openly anti-Israel and the fact that any mention of God was left out of their platform speaks volumes as to the Godlessness of their party. I contend that a “Christian” cannot vote for a democrat and remain in Gods favor.

  There is a battle for the soul of America and the opposition is growing rapidly. Those who would have us become some 1^st century Rome-like society are promoting their Socialist ideology at a fever pitch. They have combined Socialist, Marxist, Communist and Islamic ideologies to put a strangle hold on the moral standards of America and they must be stopped! With every day that passes we see more boldness from our domestic enemies and a complacent population allowing them to set the agenda. We have got to arise and be heard with boldness, determination and continually until the population awakens to the threat and begins to join the fight to achieve the goal of SAVING AMERICA.
