Leftists Hate God

Are you suggesting that leftist are not saved but being saved requires you to be a Republican? If so, what about those with no party affiliation?

 

.

In general, I agree with you. Leftists hate God. Look at the most Left-leaning countries - they are there are very few Christians in their populations. Look at the states which are most Leftist - there are very few Christians in their populations, as well.

Having said that, there are many (foolish and/or ignorant, IMO) Christians who take up the Left's cause and are deceived because they fall for the "social justice", "equality", and "diversity" propaganda. They are well-meaning, but many are just young and naive, so I give them some allowance due to their lack of experience in these matters, so I would not come down as hard as you do on all Leftists, but in general, your assessment is correct.

 

That’s funny... do you, NA forget it!

 

I didn't say they don't need the gospel, and I also am not saying that Conservatives don't either. Being correct in your politics can't atone for sins.

 

The OP presents a weird idea that begins with ill-defined terms.
Politically "Left" is not the opposite of "Right" (as "correct") but the opposite of "Capitalist." And "Right" is not the opposite of "Wrong."

Or the opposite - generally those on the right are the rich & have no need of God while the poor have good reason to pray.

Was he a Christian? A Christian's country is spiritual, with no borders & no ethnicity. How do the rich show their love of country & Creator?

Social welfare programmes are a concern for the poor & disadvantaged, sick & elderly. Ideally they follow the example of the church on Acts 2.

44 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.​

State welfare involves the action by "Caesar" to collect taxes for all state purposes, including welfare. The use of the funds raised from income does not deprive those taxed of self-sufficiency nor does it prevent charitable giving. And the state returns paid taxes to charities.

You whole argument is a rejection of Scripture - the general principle where God, addressing Israel says:

Micah: 6:8 He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?​

And specific to believers of many nationalities:

1 Peter 2:13 Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, 14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men— 16 as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God. 17 Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.​

 

Every point you make is flawed.

"generally those on the right are the rich" This is incorrect and propaganda.

"A Christian's country is spiritual" A Christian has dual citizenship. We have a real, physical existence, and live within a certain society in which we ought to be active in politically if we can.

"Social welfare programmes are a concern for the poor & disadvantaged" Conservatives are concerned for the poor, which is why Conservatives give more of their own money to the poor than Progressive Liberals do. However, handing able-bodied people checks is not helpful nor loving. It's a cruel form of slavery.

"You whole argument is a rejection of Scripture - the general principle where God, addressing Israel says:"

Micah: 6:8 He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
​

Is it just to take from one hard-working man and give to a man who refuses to work?

Is it merciful to keep people dependant on handouts for multiple generations?

 

Leftist can be Christians because sinners can be Christians. Any Christian can commit any sin, including the sin of supporting abortion, globalism, etc. But I do have my doubts about most professing Christians that are also leftists. I can see new converts struggling with these things early on. It's more difficult to explain leftists that claim to have walked with the Lord many years.

Heb. 3:12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;

2Cor. 13:5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.​

 

While true that the Left, as a group, hates God, in all fairness, all the unregenerate hate God, regardless of whether they're Left or Right.

 

This kind of lie is a result of the unholy alliance between "Evangelical Christians" and the republican Party and demonstrates that your allegiance is not with the Lord but with the republican party. May God have mercy on your everlasting soul.

 

The so-called "Evangelical Right" is filled with hypocrites. Those are the only people that jesus reallt hated.

 

Your post is filled with hatred.

 

Leftists aren't interested in truth. They aren't even seeking truth. They are seeking an equal outcome. They are seeking cosmic "equality". They are seeking a world in which there are no distinctions, and play God in trying to arrive at such a place. In doing so, as you rightly point out, they remove the consequences which God has designed to teach men how to live and replace them with rewards. The Left rewards sin. Get pregnant out of wedlock and get a free apartment, for instance. The Left is trying to bring about a world in which there are no consequences for sin. In doing so, they keep sinners from seeking the salvation of Christ because they remove the need for it.

If the only way to help the great number of needy people in America is to change government policies because churches and individuals cannot afford to do so that does have eternal value. The same argument goes for medical care. Supporting candidates who are against helping the poor is exactly the same as not doing it yourself. Supporting weapons and war through supporting candidates who increase the military budget and turn their back on the large number of senseless murders in our country is also not something a true Christian should do. Jesus said love your neighbor and even your enemy.

You go on to say: "Poverty is God's way of teaching sinners how to behave! To lift people from poverty without them learning God's intended lesson, condemns them to hell! That is of Satan!

Poverty is God's way of teaching sinners how to behave! To lift people from poverty without them learning God's intended lesson, condemns them to hell! That is of Satan!"

That is absolutely unBiblical and wrong. Jesus emphasized this time and time again. Firast, He said the last shall be first and the first last. In Luke 6 He said:
[Luk 6:20, 24 KJV] 20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed [be ye] poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. ... 24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

The story of the rich young ruler is another example:
[Mar 10:23, 25 KJV] 23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! ... 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

The story of Lazarus and the rich man is another:

[Luk 16:19-26 KJV] 19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that [would come] from thence.

You seem to accept the "Prosperity Gospel" as preached by Joel Osteen and others. This is a false gospel and leads straight to damnation.

 

Jesus hated hypocrites.

 

FTW, why are you admonishing? Just simply, let him go.

 

You sound like you don’t enjoy sin...what are you some type of Calvinist?!?

 

Have you ever read Dante's Purgatorio?
