What is so darn CHRISTIAN about the Republican Party?

Ok, attack the messenger.

If you can supply any Biblical truth in the disputed statement, please provide it. I prefer to engage in debate whereby I might gain insight into your defense of the statement you claim is the basis for this country. Surely you are willing and able to comply with my request.

Have a good day and stay safe.

You still have not explained what makes that contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ.

I could not locate the word “gas” in any scripture, but was able to locate the word “energy” nine times in the NET translation:

  • [Jos 14:11 NET] 11 Today I am still as strong as when Moses sent me out. I can fight and go about my daily activities with the same energy I had then.

  • [Jdg 19:5, 8 NET] 5 On the fourth day they woke up early and the Levite got ready to leave. But the girl's father said to his son-in-law, "Have a bite to eat for some energy, then you can go." ... 8 He woke up early in the morning on the fifth day so he could leave, but the girl's father said, "Get some energy. Wait until later in the day to leave!" So they ate a meal together.

  • [1Sa 28:20 NET] 20 Saul quickly fell full length on the ground and was very afraid because of Samuel's words. He was completely drained of energy, not having eaten anything all that day and night.

  • [Isa 40:29 NET] 29 He gives strength to those who are tired; to the ones who lack power, he gives renewed energy.

  • [Isa 44:12 NET] 12 A blacksmith works with his tool and forges metal over the coals. He forms it with hammers; he makes it with his strong arm. He gets hungry and loses his energy; he drinks no water and gets tired.

  • [Isa 49:4 NET] 4 But I thought, "I have worked in vain; I have expended my energy for absolutely nothing." But the LORD will vindicate me; my God will reward me.

  • [Isa 57:10 NET] 10 Because of the long distance you must travel, you get tired, but you do not say, 'I give up.' You get renewed energy, so you don't collapse.

  • [Dan 10:8 NET] 8 I alone was left to see this great vision. My strength drained from me, and my vigor disappeared; I was without energy.

None of these appear to advocate fossil fuels over renewable resources, so this is NOT a Christian issue unless you can explain how it relates to the commands of Jesus Christ.

The Dems advocate abortion on demand, NO restrictions, fully support alternate lifestyles, and desire to muzzle Christians free speech as hate speech, is that not enough?

Does being a black criminal make it ok for the police to kneel on you and wait for you to choke to death (rather than attempt aid)?
Why the selective outrage over the loss of life ... is the child of a rapist more valuable than the child that becomes addicted to drugs?

However, to answer your question: Forcing a woman to carry the child of the man that raped her against her will is to commit a second act of violence against the same victim. She should certainly be encouraged to deliver it to term, but the decision should be hers. Unlike Islam, Christianity has never viewed women as chattel.

So Mary free to abort Jesus then?

Ultimately an unsupported claim of "Is not" is as useless as an unsupported claim of "Is so".
There is an entire topic dedicated to the building of a soapbox to offer the Christian Left a chance to SAY SOMETHING and be heard ... but the only sound is cricket's chirping. The criticism of Democrats that most STICKS for the majority of moderates is that they stand FOR NOTHING. They are always screaming about what they are against. You do nothing to change that stereotype. All I ever hear is what you dislike and reject.

.. and at least some of the Left are clearly rude. What qualifications do you have to render a mental diagnosis? can you be more specific about the "delusion" and who suffers from it?

After all, they're the ones who sent people to election centers to do their chanting in tongues.

At least you are an equal opportunity offender ... both "all Republicans" as a group and "all non-cessationists" seem worthy of your contempt. Unless you have evidence to back up your claim, you have in fact supported their claim that "Liberals are Liars". I am personally skeptical that the RNC sent Charismatics or Pentecostals to election centers to exhibit glossolalia.

Not I, good sir.
It is the "good Christian Republicans" that post on this board that have chosen in topic after topic to equate the 51% of the population that chose to vote Democrat with demonic forces and made emphatic statements like "no Christian could ever vote Democrat" and "God sent Trump to restore America".

I am guilty of asking for a reason for the hope you have within you for a Political Party ... no more and no less.

Not to support your claim that Republican Gasoline is Good and Democrat Solar/Wind is evil.

Since the vocal majority found the temptation irresistible to demonize the Democratic Party and everything "Left", I have a question as a registered Republican of 40 years that has heard lots of promises, but has more excuses than results to show for all those Republicans that I elected.

Like the title says...

In what way, shape or form is a vote for the Republican Party the "Christian" thing to do?

(Where is the verse on lower capital gains taxes? ... the only promise they ever fight for.)

Are you really claiming that God forced Mary to carry Jesus to term against her will?

I think you have jumped the shark, sir.

God forbid that I would think that, just stating what the Dems would allow for, as a young woman who to them was raped and abortion best way out for her!

The Dems views on abortion should have all Christians seeing them as being in darkness!

Just seems that many more among the Dems now see abortion and gay marriages and restriction on speech as all good things!

No one is saved based on political beliefs. We are saved by coming to God in repentance and faith in the finished work of Jesus on our behalf.

Ken, while I don't follow your train of thought, I agree with your statement. I also agree with Yeshua.

I do not understand how a child of God, regardless of political party affiliation, can support abortion or the gay life style and be in fellowship with God.

My brothers, the end of America is near. The Times of the Gentiles is and has been at hand since Babylon.

Rome was the first stage of the fourth beast which is rightly called the Beast of Imperialism. The church founded American society which became the greatest safe haven for Jews since the diaspora. The two legged division stage of imperialism began when Rome split into two dividing its power from east and west. This will enter a temporary one world governing after Magog of Ezekiel 38. Which will then enter the ten toed division from which the Antichrist will arise.

Take heart and rejoice, the God of Israel is about to redeem His people with the melting of the tribulation of His wrath.

“Be silent, all flesh, before Jehovah; for he is waked up out of his holy habitation.”
‭‭Zechariah‬ ‭2:13‬ ‭ASV‬‬

Glory to God in the highest!!!
