The Heresy of Ideological Religion

Our Church leaders have a certain standard to uphold. We look to Titus and Timothy for them. It's very different from the standard of Government Authorities, which are not always Christians and not required to be Christians. For them, Romans 13 is the standard, and Trump does very will in this area. The standard for governing officials is very simple. Protect the innocent and punish the guilty.

The most basic qualification for a government authority is his stand on life. Does he believe in protecting all human life, or just some lives? Trump is the most pro-life president we've had in recent years. Obama, OTOH, was pro-murder and failed the Romans 13 test.

Trump has also shown a willingness to punish the guilty. He is pro-death penalty, and willing to kill foreign enemies and protect our nation.

That is the standard. Simple! Not easy, but simple.

 

His stand on abortion is not questionable in the least. He's been recognized as the most pro-life president in history. He's wreaking havoc on the abortion movement, and abortionists know it.

Your stand on abortion is highly questionable.

You shall not bear false witness. Also the sin of slander. You keep making up these lies and offer nothing to back them up.

Meanwhile, more than 100 babies murdered per hour, and you were fine with Obama. Look deep within, FTW. Who do you think is grieving God more?

You can argue that some wars are unjust. Trump argued the Iraq was was a terrible move. I tend to agree. GW Bush was kind of an idiot. But all democrats at the time agreed Iraq was holding weapons of mass destruction. Even Bill Clinton confirmed, so I can understand why all the democrats at the time authorized war.

But comparing that to 60 million babies murdered? Think about that. Think about what side you've found yourself on.

 

No, someone who has Jesus as their Lord, but still can sin at times, correct?

 

David committed adultery and murder, but was still a man after Gods own heart, correct?
I look at what he is saying and doing right now, do you?

 

This is just a thought, maybe a carnal one, but can you imagine the look on many saints faces when they die if they see Trump up there with them? Am I'm being wicked if I'd really like to be in that particular heavenly room?

I'm saying this tongue and cheek obviously, no deep theology intended, but you can't help but wonder.

BTW, I'm agnostic on Trump's spiritual condition. He's no worse than any man on a human scale, but I haven't seen any good theological statements from him that would inform me about his spiritual status. But I do like the changes he's made in recent years, and it does give me hope God is bringing him to salvation.

 

He could be a baby saint, or could be one God raised up to use just for a time like this, as God can used the unsaved to get His agenda done at times!

 

I agree, you'll know them by their fruit. You accused the President of being pro-abortion, while you support pro-abortion candidates, and while he's appointing pro-life judges. I'd say that's some very telling fruit.

 

I don't think that's what politically conservative Christians are doing though. You might have done that yourself, but if you did, it was based on a misunderstanding of Scripture. Now it appears you're going to the other extreme and throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

The GOP is currently the only viable party that stands for biblical principles, such as life, justice and nationalism. These are the simple essential functions of government according to Scripture (Genesis 11, Romans 13). If the GOP moves away from these principles, Christians will look for another avenue, but until then, we should support them.

What many Christians are doing now is becoming apolitical, which is the biggest mistake of this generation. It's foolish in fact. God does not want us to give up on justice, life and nationalism just because some politicians are unbelievers and less than perfect. Government is not the Church and Church standards don't apply to them. Government's job is simple. Protect the innocent and punish the guilty within the borders of their authority (authority given by God). That's it. We're not electing pastors and frankly many pastors would not be qualified to govern. It's a totally different job description.

We as Christians need expect Governors to do what they are appointed to do, and the Church to do what they are appointed to do. Once you have that distinction, confusion fades.

 

What fruit though? the one done 20 years ago before any claim of salvation, or the ones that fake news media Dems state that he has been doing?

 

A president can't reveres Roe v. Wade. Only the courts can. Trump is 1 - 2 appointments away. (how is it possible you don't know this?)

And are you now accusing the President of murdering children? Do you have links to back this up? Any evidence at all? Or just another false accusation?
