I think it is wrong to say "A Democrat can never be a Christian." That would imply they are beyond God's grace. However, I would say A Christian can't be a Democrat. How can you support abortion which is a fundamental statement in the Democrat parties political position? I also believe homosexuals are not beyond God's grace, so should also be ministered to.

No difference. Republicans have acted to favor the rich over the poor and take necessary food, shelter, and medical care away from the needy. Inasmuch as you have done it to the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me. Those who act in this way will be on Christ's left at the last judgement.
First if is NOT the responsibility of the Govt Especially the feds - to provide those. That is the duty of our churches!
and what have Republicans done to favor the rich over the poor?
We've probably gone through this before, but are all Republicans going to be at the left hand of Christ and others at His right? Or will that be determined by what we each, personally, do in regard to putting out faith into practice?
Name-- ed. well, identify in some way, if not by proper legal name-- someone you know who had his or her food, shelter, or medical care taken away by Republicans, and tell how it came about.
Then i suppose you don't think the government should regulate abortion? That's not in the constitution.
Nothing true about this post.
Since the COTUS does not address - then (legally) the decision is up to the States/Commonwealths
Too bad the founders of the country did not have the foresight about abortion - then they would have included it.
Sine you made a comment about abortion- will you also comment on the second part of my statement
"what have Republicans done to favor the rich over the poor?"
Cut taxes on the rich which produced a $1.7T deficit. Now McConnell is saying they'll have to cut Medicare and Social Security to reduce the deficit..
wouldn't be that way if Obama hadnt destroyed our military
Once again not true. The fact is the military is either extremely inefficient in spending money or is using the funds for other purposes.
You fail to demonstrate that your allegation is sound and true.
Do the Scriptures teach or support the opinion that one group of people should pay a higher percentage of tax than others?
Would you suggest that God is unjust or that God acts to favor the rich when the Scriptures teach the same 10% tithe for all believers regardless of whether they are rich or poor?
[Luk 18:22-25 KJV] 22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. 24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Those verses do not teach what you alleged in earlier posts, and those verses do not state nor teach that the government should require a higher percentage of taxes from the rich than from the middle class or than from the poor. Evidently you try to read something into the verses that they do not teach or you misinterpret them.
I follow Jesus. Do you?
If you chose to fund more war and cut taxes for the rich instead of helping the needy it's the same as not doing it yourself.
Chapter and verse please
I didn't ask you that. You quoted Jesus telling the 'rich young ruler' to sell his possessions and give the money to the poor and then follow him. Have you done that? Yes or No.
Does voting for an anti-abortion candidate count as opposing abortion?
I've given money directly to the poor on many occasions. Jesus wasn't asking everyone to give everything they have to the poor. he was making the point that He must be the master of our lives not money, politics or anything else.
