Should Christians Vote for Democrats?


Should Christians Vote for Democrats?

“Don’t become partners with those who reject God. How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That’s not partnership; that’s war. Is light best friends with dark? Does Christ go strolling with the Devil?”
– 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 (MSG)

I’ve heard Pastors say, “It doesn’t matter who a Christian votes for or what political party they support. We’re just called to love Jesus.” Uh, sorry senorita. That’s spiritual-sounding stercore tauri.

I think it does matter. If a political party is cool with…

  1. Murdering unborn babies (Hos. 13:16; Ezk. 23:29).
  2. Same-sex marriage (Rom. 1:18-28; Mt. 19:3- 6).
  3. Teaching 5–9-year-olds that sodomy and transgenderism is groovy (Lk. 17:1-2).
  4. Declaring only white people are pure evil when everyone, outside of Christ, is radically corrupt (Rom. 3:9-18).
  5. Bowing to godless foreign countries that hate America (Ezk. 28:9).
  6. Allowing a lawless invasion of our Southern border (1 Tim. 1:9; Rom. 13:1-5).
  7. Being unable to define what a woman is (Gen. 1:26-28).
  8. Big dudes competing against smaller women in sports (Prov. 20:23).
  9. Forcing little children to wear ineffective face masks and take ineffective vaccines (2Jn. 12).
  10. Publicly booing God at their National Convention (Isa. 1:4; Prov. 24:24).

If a political party does the aforementioned (and supports many other anti-biblical policies) then they are officially raging against righteousness and a Christian would be sinning if they supported that garbage (Prov 4:14; Jas 4:17).

Governments are supposed to protect and praise what is good and punish what is evil. That’s “good and evil” as defined by the word of God and not Netflix (Rom 13:1-5; 1Pet 2:13-15). When a government ceases to do that then the Christian is duty-bound not to support those less than civil magistrates (Acts 5:29).

4 Lessons From The Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk 3 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES Here’s four things that hit me after Charlie Kirk was assassinated yesterday. ONE: Jesus said if you follow him you will be hated and some will be killed because of fidelity to Him and His word. “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.” John 15:18 “If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as...

Are "Youth Groups" Biblical? 4 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES I’ve got a big problem with Christian youth groups. Here are four reasons why I don't like them. It could go up to fifty by the end of this chapter, but for now … we’ll keep it at four. Number one. In my experience, youth groups are lame. When I first got saved, I was twenty-one and a college student. So I was advised to go to “the College Group” that our church had. So I did, and it was weird. Most of the guys and girls that were there...

Thou Shalt Not Kill, but Thou Shalt Hunt 4 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES I wish I had a new gun for every time I’ve had an anti-hunter who (more often than not) is also an agnostic or an atheist, quote to me the sixth commandment, namely “Thou shalt not kill” as a proof text against my God-blessed pursuit of hunting. If I had a new gun, per misquote, from the desperate bunny lovers, then my battery would make Ted Nugent’s arsenal look like Ed Bagley, Jr’s, because, OMG, do they toss that verse around...
