As to the OP, without Christianity, there is no liberty: politically or spiritually. Without Christianity, there is no justice. So, punishing tyrants to protect freedom is eminently Christian.

The problem with tyrants in the USA is that no matter which party they come from their faithful followers will defend them no matter how evil they are or how much damage they do to this country.

I find it incredible that as Christians we'll argue that we have a duty to defend the oppressed in every other country in the world but our own. It's okay for us to remove tyrants in Iraq or Libya but we have to obey our own tyrants here at home?

It don't add up.

Why what would happen if he did? You'd post silly pictures. SN would. stalk him around the board and call him names and Salty would ask questions but never answer any. Big deal you guys don't scare anyone but you are kinda entertaining . . . sometimes.

He's about the only one with the documented facts to hold CBT, MP and the other resident Marxists' feet to fire.

He's right.

Holding to your position is selling the U.S. down the river.

Arbo doesn't have a position with him it's just . . .

He'll wait until someone else starts the personal attack train rolling then he'll climb on board for a free ride.

Poncho- I have done you a disservice by not encouraging you in your work, so in the spirit of new beginnings, I would like to congratulate you on the fine job you have done educating others about the dangers of playing with fire:

That's been done before Arbo. :sleep: If you ever were to come up anything original I'd probably fall off my computer chair. Gee golly wow man I'd be shocked if you could just stick to the topic instead of trying to emulate Salty and SN.


The three amigos ride again. :1_grouphug:

FTW, just want to make sure I understand what you are saying.
I agree with you in that we should preach against immorality.
However, are you saying its wrong to ally with a political party?

Jesus said "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto God that which is God's." My belief is that as Christians we need to always have the perspective that our allegiance to Christ must always take precedance over any worldly alliances. We certainly should take part in the business of America by speaking out on the issues and voting from a Christian perspective. For an individual to join and be active in any political party is also fine. But these are individual actions. The church as a body should never ally itself with a political party nor should pastors or church leaders express support for any political party or candidate. When church and state become intertwined as they have become in m,any churches today the church always suffers.

For one thing if the church endorses one political party it immediately loses its ability to reach the 50% of Americans of the other party. Our first objective must always be to spread the gospel not to win political battles.
