My daughter got pregnant at 16 so yes, we had the abortion issue first hand. My granddaughter is now a beautiful 22 year old who has brought so much joy to me and to others. I was told by Planned Parenthood that my daughter could abort without my knowledge and permission. lucikly my daughter made the right choice.
I got pregnant when I was 16. I made the choice to abort. A month later, I realized that was a baby that I had taken part in killing. That was 52 years ago. I made some really bad choices after that. Sex, drugs & alcohol became my life. Then, I became a Respiratory Therapist and started trying to save as many premies as I could. I finally met The Lord, at 36, and have been trying to save pre-born babies ever since. It took having 3 children, in less than 3 years to bring me to my knees. God will forgive you, if you ask Him. Repent and turn, it’s the only way to peace and joy in life. SAVE THE BABY HUMANS! SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND
Amen. Every person I've ever known regret abort their baby. I believe the same reason you said after having children cause the regret more. They say it's so painful. Praise the Lord we have a forgiving God. You will see your baby again in heaven. That's something to look forward to.
I was raped at 16. I did not give my son the death penalty for what his father did. He is a good son who gave me two good grandkids. I cannot imagine them not being part of my life. What does God want with my vote? To uphold the morals of the Bible.
Sorry to hear about what happened to you. I also know that if you were if someone who had a similar circumstances became a single parent without any family to help which needed help to support their child, the Party would have left them in the dust calling them lazy because they struggled to work, care for a young child, pay for daycare, and no opportunity to go to school to further their education because they had no time or money to sacrifice in order to help them get ahead. This is one reason why we have generations who struggle with poverty. Abortion is wrong, we can all agree with that. We can still work to address that issue, BUT we should also look at EVERY issue and vote for the party that will work to address the wrongs in life - it’s also why we should force politicians to work together instead of rejecting bills simply because it was written by the opposite party.
@briellecastello4770 So what if your rapist was your father, uncle, brother, or cousin? What if you were a 9, 10, 11, or 12 year old child when you were raped by your relative?
I'm glad you were able to make that decision and you are blessed to give birth to your son and now have two grandchildren. Unfortunately that is not the case for many people. 16 years old and being 12-year-old years old is two different places in life.. I will not want to force my 12 year old daughter to have a baby by a man who raped her.
I want to thank you for sharing this video. This election has been weighing so heavy on my heart. Your video is what I have been searching for. I wanted a high level of what each party stands for without watching the debates as they just criticize one another and never really talk about the core values each party stands for. I also didn't want to spend a large about of time on politics as I feel it's more important to study God's Word and stay focused on Jesus Christ. Thank you again for posting this. I have shared your video on my Facebook page I'm hopes it will help others. Prayers for you my brother. ❤
Yeah. This is the difference between Progressive Christians and Conservative Christians. Progressive Christians shape their religious views around their progressive views, whereas conservative Christians shape their political views around their faith.
They dont have to be perfect, but why in the hell should a so called Christian vote for a damn lying cheating criminal traitor! And, this is the damn main issue!!!
@@aaronharlow2137 Jesus said in the parable of the sower, the cares of this life is one of the reason people would walk away from the word of God, race/racism (a care of this life) is one of the major factors black except abortion, abcdefg... amongst other things the left presents.
@@roger44alan teaching your children that sex is a gift from God, not to be open until you are married would help immensely! I raised daughters that were taught to respect themselves and to never give away that special gift until God has blessed their marriage! If a woman or child is raped, a mother’s life is in jeopardy or the child will be born and suffer excruciating pain before it departs this world is not what our loving God would not want any of His children to go through. I don’t believe abortions should be used for birth control, but if I have to choose between my daughter or the child in her womb I will choose my daughter! I hope none of us ever have to make that choice, but someone will!
Our youngest daughter was born at 22 weeks. The OBGYN kinda fibbed and told the hospital staff the baby was 24 weeks. They wouldn't have been willing to do what was needed to save her at 22 weeks. We would have lost her. She is a healthy 17 year today. And I thank God for her everyday. The way abortion impacts me is the callousness it has created in the medical community. Also, I was adopted, I am thankful for the parents God gave me and for life.
The rationale behind Planned Parenthood’s objective should not be forgotten which is the reduction in the population of minorities. That’s why abortion clinics are located in predominantly minority areas.
@@Bigmyoun1 Blessings upon Blessings to you and yours! I cared for many premies like your girl. My two favorite Neonatologists didn’t turn away any newborns. Some were too small for out equipment, but family were able to say good bye to their littles, which were given the dignity of being treated like the human beings that they were.
How can you vote democrat when they are an Antichristian party? They kicked Jesus Christ, the Kennedy's and MLK out of the democrat party sometime ago. They have no Christian virtues.
MARRIAGE WAS INSTITUTED BY JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF, ANYTHING ELSE DESECRTATES THE MARRIAGE INSTITUTION. MARRIAGE ACCORDING TO JESUS Christ 1 Man + 1 Woman = 1 Flesh = Marriage 4 And he answered and said unto them, Have, ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For, this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. - Matthew 19:4-6 KJV it CHOICE, make them vote on ABORTION. “PRO-CHOICE is PRO-ABORTION!” The birth process originated with Jesus Christ; it was designed by Him! Interfering with it at any point goes against that God given design and terminates a soul for Him
There is a huge difference between advocating and protecting one’s right to choose. Just like there is a huge difference between what the right says it’s doing and what it is actually doing. Abortion is just the banner subject in front of the many rights they tie in with banner legislation that they don’t advertise.
As a medical professional, just as some babies are born with too many x or y chromosomes, sometimes they are born with both sex or hormonal discrepancies. There needs to not be blanked laws. Families should not have to leave this great country when considering treatment options for these types of rarities.
@@ginastephens873 yeah that's definitely the primary issue right now.. rare genetic mutations/issues. Not the 99 percent of these surgeries the are done to 16 year olds without any genetic issues and just have social justice warrior parents or have identity issues like every teenager. Imagine parents encouraging mutilation while a child is in this state. If you work in the field you absolutely know this is true and choose to ignore it or you do not work in the field bc it is one of the 2. It's almost like how incest or the r word is the biggest problem in abortion land, not the 99% that use it as birth control. Thanks for your help embracing this increasingly rising issue and supporting mutilation of children in the name if admittedly ultra rare scenarios. You should pat yourself on the back in my opinion. It is almost impossible to be kind to those that embrace the mutilation of any child healthy or not.
@@jerrodriley429099 percent don't use it as birth control. Why trivialize people suffering to make you feel better about their decisions? You. Are. Not. God. You're not even he's adjacent. Why aren't people as concerned about the children who are born to poor situations? Who are born with no bootstraps? I'm not adopting children. I don't want them. Even if I did, I couldn't afford them all. If a woman simply doesn't want to carry on with a pregnancy who are we to make her and you know that you can't really stop her.
I’m 25 and grew up in a Hispanic household in Massachusetts. I was taught in school that voting republican would mean that I’m racist and against my own people. I love Jesus and once I started to research what the democrats believe in, I was torn to see that they stand for many things I am against because of my faith. In my school they breezed over issues like abortion and medical transition for children. After years of wrestling with this I am glad to say that my eyes have been opened and will be voting republican this year. I still struggle to talk about my political views at church and with my family because people in this state blindly vote for democrats and demonize republicans. Pray for our nation
God bless you my sister. I totally understand where you are coming from. When you are in a system and a bubble where everyone around you EXPECTS you to vote a certain way, it can be hard to be countercultural in those situations. Kudos to you for standing strong on what matters most!
This must be difficult, just as it is when our soldier see people heads shot and roll in front of their face. Or when a woman come home and catch her husband in bed with another woman. I gave these scenarios to say this. God have all Power. He allowed the constitution, the law of the land. That law allows equal rights to vote, for job equality and things that may be of discomfort to some , however who are we to pick and choose who benefit from equal rights . It's almost like saying it was OK for slavery and deny colored folks rights. Now let's talk about another guide. God gave us a guide for eternal life. The Bible. He instructed us to follow the 10 commandments: thou shall not lie, kill, steal, fornicate, committ adultery , envy, greed, to honor they mother and thy father And He said His greatest commandment was Love. For us to Love one another. I posted the two scenarios, adultery, killing because some will say that is no where near abortion . We'll I stopped by to tell you God said No 1 sin is greater than another except blasphemy which shall not be forgiven. We are all of sin. God ask us to pray for one another not judge. He said judge ye not unless you be judge. He is the 1st and the last. He is the final judge. He said His ways are not our ways. Meaning no way will we ever understand all his doing or allowing. Who are we to choose the degree of sin when the master said they are all of equal. We must Let God be God. He is A God of Love. He loved us so much He gave his son Jesus the Christ to die for our sin. He is not a God of confusion, hate or division. He is a God of Love, grace and mercy. I trust and stand on God's love. I choose Love over hate. My Vote Kamala blue 💙 I c
You are right on, BROTHER! As a Christian I appreciated the way you showed both sides...the good and the bad BUT your last question, the question that show be ask was perfect. Thank you for the time and effort you put into this video.
Most people fail to realize the ideologies of parties have changed overtime, but Christian values will forever remain the same. Vote your values not party names!
@@kingquest2000 I don’t question the infinite goodness of the Lord. But I know He doesn’t tolerate those who support and protect the killing of innocent unborn babies.
@@Gsef1120 ProLife is for protecting the innocent babies and ProChoice is to prevent the birth of the Antichrist .No Christian will support the birth of the Antichrist.
Some Christians will replace Jesus with a political candidate as savior of the country. I believe that we should definitely vote but realize that all political candidates are flesh and blood humans like us and very flawed
Vote for the best candidates that move towards God's virtues and Commandments. We, humans, don't have all of the virtues and fall short of a lot of things. Just pray and ask yourselves who is the best candidate that we should put in charge, or if you or someone in your community should run.
Similar especially growing up in a black Baptist church iykyk BUT even after switching parties, I have now realized that both sides are the same. Wicked and evil As Christians, we need to be set apart. I will never again endorse a man/woman or a country. We are supposed to be set apart and a peculiar people. Both sides are the same, it’s all a game, smoke and mirrors. Too many people are caught up and attached to the wicked systems of this world.
Agreed. In 1992 was the last time I voted for a Democrat (Bill Clinton). But in examining what I stand for, I could no longer support that party that seems to stand against Godly principles.
Excellent! Thank you for the thorough and fair handling of the positions of these 2 parties. Thankful for you! I listen to you a lot. Keep up the good work!
You don't have all the facts, you're just skimming over each topic per Democrat and Republican views. Republicans want to band abortions for women who have been raped, molested by their father, I'm sorry, but if my body was forceably taken over without my permission and forced to pleasure a man while he beats and holds me down to rape me and I become pregnant I'm going to be forced to carry a baby by those means I don't believe should be made a law by a bunch of men who have no idea what it's like to be a woman. Grant it I don't believe in abortion after a heartbeat around 6 weeks. Yes, there should be a law for any abortions after 6 weeks, but there is a lot that plays into a woman's decision to not carry a baby if done that early. The church isn't going to keep me out of poverty, help pay my bills, and now the Republicans are talking about making contraception illegal . Don't we have enough Americans living paycheck to paycheck and you now want to take my right to contraception. The Republicans work for Big Pharma and Big Corporations making sure the Rick don't have to pay taxes, but when I was making minimum wage, with children as a single mom I had to pay every year. Where were the Republicans at when Americans were still needing help after COVID. They had enough money left for 3 more stimulus checks for every American, but voted against helping the American people. They are too busy padding their own pockets with government money that is put aside for us Americans, to busy cutting important programs for Seniors and low income families. It cost more money a week for 1 child to go to daycare than what amount of money that parent would bring home in a paycheck. You need to do some more deep fact checking when it comes to Republicans at least the Democrats fight to set up programs to give a leg up for a family. We're not living back in the 60's where a one parent income was able to provide a good life for his family. Abortion is always going to be an issue and I'm completely against them at over 6 weeks, but if I was raped by law I would be forced to have the baby. That's traumatic. Neither candidate should be running, but Trump has screws loose in his head. He's dangerous and a convicted felon, but if an American with a felony conviction on their record tries to get a job even at McDonald's they would deny him an opportunity, but we're supposed to vote and elect a convicted felon for president of the United States??? Who already started an insurrection that cost 2 people their lives. You're all not thinking about Trump clearly. I'm telling you he will cause a nuclear war, he's so stupid like that. He lies and only looks out for his upper class people, he does not care about the struggles of the regular average family trying to make it. He has to keep the rich and corporate friends happy with tax cuts, so when he isn't the president anymore he'll still have his connections to make money with.
@@Moont706 He manipulates scripture to fit his patriarchal ideologies. That’s the business that blinds people to loving their neighbor and from offering healing hope. There is no condemnation in Christ. Work on that log in your own eyes.

Your video explains the positions of both sides where people can really appreciate. I am a Christian, a Republican and a retired Army Veteran. I changed my political affiliation almost 15 years ago for several reasons. As a Veteran, I have witnessed too many homeless Veterans who are eating out of trash cans and sleeping under bridges. There is NO WAY that illegal immigrants should be able to come here and have access to benefits that Veterans can't get from our own government. As a Black woman, I owe the Democrats nothing. I do not agree with any of their stances (abortion, being "woke", etc...) My Christian faith has guided me...and I cannot and will not support a party who has a problem with saying the Name of Jesus...or with saying "Merry Christmas." I thank you, man of God for this informative video.
Former U.S. Immigration employees here. I'm always stunned to read this take that the Undocumented are free loading. Every single hour of their labor for wealthy employers as well as small business owners is flipped for a profit that is a multiple of their wages. These profits and the taxes they generate easily cover the paltry benefits that an extremely small group of immigrants qualify for. I'm not sure where this narrative started that every migrant hopping the fence at the border immediately begins receiving "free money". As a Christian it is unsettling to see other Christians speaking false testimony.
I'm a Vet also and the Vets on the street want to be there and not come and get help the help is here for them I know in Philadelphia went to the Vet center and got help so I don't agree because I know help is here for them if they want it .
I'm a veteran also, served 25 years. I agree with you on the homelessness, neither party has done anything about this issue. Also, the National Defense Act of 2017, hurt veterans. We were promised free medical care for retirement, but now have to pay. Also, don't forget about Jan 6th. Vote how you want but neither party has done anything for veterans.
Amen! I’m also a black woman, long standing democrat and became a republican just from reading my Bible and using my Brains to see what the Demoncractic party is truly about. -Anti-Christ!
It took great courage to make this video. I’m glad you’re voting not based on the popularity of a candidate or the skin color of a candidate, but by biblical values.
@@LisaBrown-ys6ke I understood it to mean that many black voters are beaten over the head with the narrative that black people only vote democrat. Or, as President Biden said: “If you don't vote for me, you ain't black.”
I am prolife, and anti abortion. What I don't hear addressed, and condemned in the pulpits and the public forum are the sins of fornication and adultery, which for the most part lead to abortion. God equally hates hypocrisy. All sins are sins in the eyes of God.
I agree with the reasons in this video and they were very well stated. But the most pressing issue is that the present Conservative Party are do not establish these precedents FAIRLY. They have always pushed agendas and reform that are favorable to the rich and affluent under the guise of faith based values. I believe this is why many Christians compromise and vote democrat.
Yes! Why are so many Christians willing to overlook such things and say they are character issues and don't matter? Breaks my heart. I mean that sincerely. 😢
Because the modern Church suffers from self-righteousness, hypocrisy & pride… it’s easy for Christians to stand strong against abortion & the gay “stuff” because those are not our sins but it takes real courage to stand against adultery, fornication & other sins that run rampant in the Christian community
As a Christian… We do have a different standard so as far as I’m concerned, you do not vote for someone who genocides babies, you do not vote for someone who is promoting castration on children… Definitely goes against the moral compass of Christians. To me, it’s a no-brainer.
@eddiestory5083 I agree more with the preacher in clip Allen showed screaming and yelling in no uncertain terms, A true Christian can't possibly vote Democrat. Sorry guys, but I like a strong, direct approach. We can't play footsie with Satan.
My husband was a pastor for 21 years and always spoke on abortion from the pulpit. He left the pastorate 12 years ago to present pro-life apologetics and the case for the unborn. You would not believe how many people come up to him after he speaks to ask, "Why doesn't my pastor speak about this issue?" It's too important to not speak out when abortion is such an affront to the character to God. Thank you for sharing this most important video.
@coz7891 Abortion is not the only issue, but when over 2200 children are being killed daily by it in the most barbaric way - through dismemberment, disembowelment or decapitation - it is the most pressing issue. If you have ever seen what abortion does, you would see it for what it is and that is the intentional killing of the most vulnerable among us. It should be foremost in our consideration as believers.
Lady abortion must be painful but look at the world we living in now, before abortion there needs to be Education on both sides men or woman, but also at the same time have You seen stories of how many patente and family memebers abuse of their children where is the church to talk about that.
@@bentmch1 I agree with you, but as human beings, it is our responsibility to eliminate suffering, not those who suffer. Abortion takes a human life. And I would guess you wouldn't be okay with killing toddlers because they were in abusive homes. We have to start seeing the unborn and full human beings with worth.
Everything you shared is exactly the reason I found myself Republican about 8-10 years ago. As a young black woman I felt that I was a victim to the democratic ideals and values and ultimately when my life became more in step with Christ my political beliefs followed.
Amen. On the job, I work with White Liberals/Progressives who are quick to advocate and encourage the worse pathologies in the Black culture (promiscuous sex, single parenting, aversion to marriage, abortion, victimhood, lack of intellectual curiosity; as a matter of respect for culture that they would never encourage in their own families or their friends families because they recognize the destructive nature of those beliefs and practices. They do so with the kindest dispositions, but I know inwardly they are wicked and not loving. Those are the true racists of society. They encourage the destruction of Black culture, and then encourage Blacks to vote on the issues inflicted by Liberal policies then blamed on Conservatives, actual sincere White people, and the Republican Party. They encourage Blacks trapped in dire financial and moral circumstances to continue to vote for the policies that further entraps their lives. They dissuade Blacks from taking advantage of the issues they vote for while these racists take advantage of it within their groups, affording higher education and success from one generation to the next. Black Americans have supplied a well-oiled financial machine for the people who have told them that they are victims and that they should accept the tokens of success as a measure of good progression into the future by ensuring that their votes provide the best lives for the people who actually care about them and work tirelessly to ensure their success while actualizing the opposite. The sad thing is that many Blacks I speak to would rather shout me down and embrace their victimhood. Commonsense is kept strongly outside the door. I'm hoping that Candace Owens and others like her have made such an impact, that Blacks really turn out to vote for Trump in a landslide and teach the Democrat Party a lesson. November 5, 2024!

You don't have to be a liberal to vote Democrat. You can be against abortion and vote Democrat. Trump said his presidency will be "great for women's reproductive rights" what does that mean? Trump also incited an insurrection and shouldn't be qualified to run for president due to violating the 14th amendment. Mike Pence who is vocal about his faith was turned on by Trump and MAGA and has been essentially banished by the party. Same with Liz Cheney. Republican party has been co-opted by Trump and MAGA hope you know that.
welcome! the conservative/republican party is not perfect by any stretch BUT we have a duty as Christians to not allow people who HATE OUR RELIGION to get in to control.
Good for you, the Republican Party isn’t perfect, at all. But I couldn’t vote for socialism, which is where the democrat party is headed, whether soon or not. Socialism necessarily crushes any religion it comes across.

As a wedding videographer, I make it really apparent on all of my advertising and social media that I do not support and will never support a same-sex civil Union, because it is not a marriage, and it's an absolute disgrace to the beauty of the gift of marriage that God created For a man and a woman, through which they can honor God.

As someone who has been on both sides of the Political Spectrum, I appreciate how you described each side accurately. I used to be a Progressive a few yrs ago, but now I would say I much more traditional & conservative in my views.
i agree. i had "friends" try and convince me I was transgender and that actually pushed me away from being progressive, which means I'm more conservative. I do however think Kamala is the better candidate for president
Neither side is truly Biblical though🤷🏽♀️ I’m in my 40s and have always voted but this year I decided not to vote anymore (not just this election but moving forward) It’s a decision between the wicked versus the evil. One bird and two wings. It’s best to stay out of it. I will NEVER pledge allegiance to any country or endorse any mere man. The only person I will ever endorse is Jesus Christ our Messiah
@makebawatson3264 Neither side are following Christian values fully. Sin you’ll name for the right side is on the left; the right side does not have murder or push unnatural as the left side does.

God gives us choices. Eternal life or hell. So who gives man/human authority to take our choices n away. No one but God. Folks are using human emotions. Because the truth is hard for human to swallow, which is we all are of sin. The bible says any sin is unholy therefore cannot be categorized. Proverbs 6:16-19 - Six things the Lord hates Proverbs 6 lists six sins that are detestable to God - arrogance, lying, killing the innocent, plotting evil, hastening to do wrong, and stirring up trouble. This makes it clear that sins like pride and deception are just as disgusting to the Lord as murder. The truth is God asked us to pray for one another. However, He did say he is a God of love, peace, grace and mercy. He asked us to help the poor, disable and needy. That is what our earthly choices should be focus on. God will be the punisher of all of us at judgement day. In other words, folks need to step back and: Let God will be done. he said prayer changes things. We are not listening to his words. Folks here are doing what God ask us not to do. Idolize others yet not study for themselves. He is angry, folks can't see love vs hate. Oh, I can imagine many more hurricanes. The US has grown racist, divisive, folks voting to not help the poor. Get ready for many more storms. Folks on this page getting tricked like Adam & Eve.
@@janicedraughn9005You are deceived! Well, on judgment day, you will be asked why you withheld to do good when it was in your POWER to do it! I wonder if when you started your first job, you went out and looked for it and/or applied for it. Or did you only pray for it?? As if the Almighty don't require any action from you 🤔.
@terrisammons007 It's not about how I feel. That is the exact point I was making. We are not to allow our emotions to categorize sin. As I have mentioned several times, the Bible says all sin , no small, nor large separates from God. Anything unholy. God gave reference in the Bible an example that a liar is the same in his eyes as a murderer. He also said in Romans 13.1 we should abide by our authorities inwhich he have appointed. He explained we should know the difference. That the righteous one would represent Love and joy and the other would cause the world to groan. God is a God of love and peace. He exemplified that when He gave us His son Jesus to die for our sins. He said @ judgment day we will all be accountable for our thoughts, words, and deeds. He never asked us to judge those in sin. Why not? Because we are all of sin. And because he said confess a and repent and you shall be forgiven. My question to those who think they have authority over God. If God forgives all. Who are we to punish whom he have the power to forgive. You think a just God would want you to vote your rights away. The rights of equality in which he allowed. You see, God has all Power. No man will ever understand his doing. That's why He said: His ways are not our ways. To trust Him. He gave us a guide to live on earth, which came with leaders. We have to trust God wholeheartedly. How can we be so strongly about 1 sin, abortion yet overlook all the verses he commanded us to feed the poor, care for the old and disable. God is not a God of confusion. Humans are. He asked us to pray for the sinners. As disciples we are to use His words to lead people to God. He said: If I be lifted up, I will draw all men to me. God is angry because we are not studying his word, asking him for understanding. Not recognizing the difference from love and hate. How can you folks justify saying God is a God of love, yet say we will vote for hate. All I can say is I hope everyone continues to study God's word. We all will need Him. We are about to see storms, tornadoes, and hurricanes because so much evil and lies. I pray He has mercy on us all.
@@janicedraughn9005, I’m thinking you’re protesting too loudly. Encouraging people to not make the mistakes I have, is my mandate from our loving God. Sharing my testimony is His mandate to me. That means sharing His love with as many people that are willing to talk to me and prayerfully have ears to hear.
Thank you, Allen for your clear and concise commentary on these issues. You’ve made it clear that I have been asking the wrong question as well as trying to have discussions from this perspective. My husband pointed out to me the same issue that you discussed-both parties are promoting some values that are Biblical-so now what? Now I will be asking the right question, “Which party is promoting values that are un-biblical? Values that go directly against the scriptures and directly against a Biblical worldview? Thank you again, Allen. Be encouraged. Your work here on RUclips is needed and it is appreciated.
I was always a Democrat until COVID/BLM then I opened the word of God, married a beautiful woman, and had my first baby boy. I’m now a Republican, even though the party has plenty of issues.
@@KristopherWilliams_tahmson there is clustering of principles between republicans and democrats, all Gods commands are being contradicted by the democrats
So articulately expressed and so respectfully laid out. I’m so glad i stayed up and heard this video. Thank you. May God continue to bless you and may He heal our land. In God we trust!
Thank you for putting the truth out there. As a Christian, it’s not about race or gender, it’s about which party’s agenda lines up with the word of God.
There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
@@locosmith2005medical needs is one thing as if something very negative is about to kill the mother but MAJORITY of abortions are NOT about medical need it’s about convenience and not wanting to take responsibility of their actions. Abortion is murder flat out! God knows when a mother is in harms way or not. I had an option to have a DNC back years ago and did not choose that route. I let my body have the miscarriage. I let God rule. HalleluYah!
I do not normally response but, I would like to thank you for this commentary. I appreciate how you respectfully pointed out view’s , issues and concerns on both sides. The tone of your conversation was refreshing and respectful and how you lined it up with the word of God was totally awesome thank you and God bless you.
Much respect to you Brother Parr. Most pastors and other Christian RUclips influencers won't have these conversation neither go on record to say "I won't support this" or "I won't vote this way".
Actually if u look on RUclips there are a lot of Pastors speaking up about this, a lot of white ones and some black. Last election a lot of them were talking about it then also.
As an African American male. I didn’t want to hear any more people tell me I have to vote democrat. It makes me angry. Im extremely pro life. As a follower of Christ that’s one of my biggest issues with the Democrat party. Furthermore I don’t believe government should give universal healthcare or social welfare programs for all. Im most certainly a registered Republican. Keep up the great content Allen. Lord bless you.
This video was timely, respectful, and just what the body needs in this moment. I agree wholeheartedly with my brother’s position as a Christian. There’s no way I can vote for a party that promotes things that are antithetical to my faith.
THEN YOU BETTER NOT VOTE FOR DICTATOR HARRIS WHO HAS DESTROYED AMERICA WITH OPEN BOARDERS FOR 20 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS COMING ACROSS OUR BOARDERS IN RECORD NUMBERS!! TO DESTROY AMERICA!!! PRESIDENT TRUIMP LOVE'S AMERICA AND HE LOVES OUR WONDERFULL CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN AND HE WILL FIGHT FOR AMERICA FIRST AGAIN!! HE IS NOT ONE PARTY!! HE IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!! WHO WILL FIGHT FOR AMERICA!! NOT DESTROY AMERICA!!
Alan, you are by far one of the most courageous Christians influencers. Your ministry encourages me to step out on faith in areas where I am unsure that God might be leading.
Vote for Donald Trump if that's your choice. If you really believe Republicans are more suited to your values, go for it, but keep in mind that there are those who can't vote for a party whose leader represents none of the qualities that are so important to you.
Well, then your are putting your personal hatred above your faith. Trump was a very good President. Who cares if you don't like his personality? It's irrelevant.
So you ever see Joe fact checked on his lies? He is the biggest liar in the history of our nation. Kamala told us Joe was sharp as a tack etc.etc. She was not picked by the party... she was installed... should make you suspicious?
@@suzanneobrien781when did they use the word hate? You are reading your own preconceived notions into what they are saying. Regardless, how could Trump be a good president when he tried to overturn the legitimate results of our election? All based on "a lot of theories but no evidence" (paraphrasing Giuliani)
@@jankystrausberg5376 Let us pray this person is granted repentance and believe in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, Who died for sins of all who would believe on Him to the glory of the Father Who is forever blessed. Amen. I say that first statement because I see a demonstration of one who has been blinded by the enemy, Satan. Trump's character is terrible and nothing to praise but many of the policies he stands for are good and wholesomely in line with our Christian values. If anyone can't see that abortion is the curse of modern-day offspring sacrifice and consuming of children, then please seek Christ's forgiveness for wickedness.
I wondered when I would hear a pastor address voting in the upcoming election. I think that you handled the subject very well without telling me who I should vote for. Thanks!
Pastor Jack Hibbs @ Calvary Chapel Chino Hills along with Pastor Gary Hamrick @ Cornerstone in Leesburg, VA have been addressing election issues for years.
Thank you so much for articulating these issues with such clarity and honesty. I plan to share this video with many people in my life and hope that they will receive it openly.
I’m glad to know there is at least one video on the internet where someone presents his AND the other side’s views accurately and fairly. Great job, as usual!
The Pastor needs to be corrected, it is not accurate do your research the Democrats have created more jobs than the Republicans. God does not show Partiality. Believers speak the truth and judge righteously we do not cherry pick sin.
Allen was disingenuous because he acted as if MAGA (TRUMP) platform is the same as Republicans and it is NOT! Trump is using the Republican banner to carry out his project2025 and none of it includes the Christian values Allen listed. Be honest people!
True, people are brainwashed into believing democrats are for us. But they are really racists and against Christian beliefs. Thank God I'm not democrat anymore. People need to do their own research on this party and stop believing whatever the news and media tells them. I don't even try to reach people 18 or older, it's a waste of time for me. I support Trump and don't care if my democrat co-workers or church members are mad about it. I stand up for what is right. If you fall for this party, than you will surely fall for the anti-christ. Hosea 4:6, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me.
Agreed. No one is stopping you from being kind, giving money to the poor, caring for immigrants, etc. if that’s your concern. You can live out those Christian values without voting for the gov. to forcibly take/redistribute other ppls money, or take away their children to be transitioned/mutilated, or shut down their business if they don’t affirm other ppls lifestyle choices

Can someone help me understand how a party that supports “unrestricted” religious freedom with one hand can with the other hand push to legislate against ideals that do not align with their religion? I struggle to understand how that is religious freedom. It sounds more like “you are free to follow any religion you want as long as it is exactly the same as mine”.
Before watching all I'll say is that: Whether you vote democrat or republican, whether you identify as liberal or conservative. A christians main focus is on the word of God at the end of the day not the ideology of whatever side 🤔. Have a blessed one everyone.
I read a quote that says “There are no morals in politic.” Politicians compromise to get what want what the people want. Either way who wins I am not afraid. We are living in the last days.
True but it also get worse when we put people who are unashamedly and unapologetically antiGod into power. All they do is enable demonic forces to advance in their wickedness by their policies, what they promote and stand for. Which will eventually come down to the persecution of the church, and all wouldn't comply with their ungodly laws and policies.
But if the king follows godly rules, the whole nation benefits. Otherwise...the whole nation..sucumb. Try to study..the two.. different destinations of the northern kingdom = Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah.
@@justingarner9806 you need a basic study on the history of the Kings and their political -religious policies. Try learning the ministry of prophet Elijah.
I have A LOT of respect for you Pastor Parr. Many pastors now days don't want to touch this subject for fear of scrutiny. But you have shown no fear and care more about the truth. Thank you
No necassarily. How can you not talk about the person and their character. That matters allot to most people. If character doesn't matter, than voting doesnt matter. I'm voting also on character and will not just let that slide
@@CH-xr5uz I have never seen Trump show any of this: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. So I can't vote for him. Kamala has shown some of these traits. And she's less in the spotlight. Character matters to me.
Honestly though most pastors including Minister Allen are wrong. As followers of Christ we need to stay out of it. It is wrong for us to pledge allegiance to a country and to endorse men. It’s not Biblical And no I am not a Jehovah Witness but I agree with them on that stance. We shouldn’t be involved with any wicked and corrupt systems of this world.
@@ogechijulius8956 okay, but while there's sin in this world there will be no perfect party or candidate. You don't have to vote if you don't like them.
@@sanfran3323 the point I am trying to make is that whichever side one chooses, it shouldn’t be a reason for condemnation, as both sides have their flaws. What truly matters is that God is still in control, and in His eyes, no sin is greater than another
@@ogechijulius8956 I'm not condemning anyone, but I agree with you. My point is that one party is much closer to my values and beliefs as a Christian than the other.
“According to a Gallup poll in March 2024, 21% of Americans attend church every week, and 9% attend almost every week. This means that 3 in 10 Americans attend religious services regularly. The remaining Americans attend less frequently, with 11% attending about once a month, 25% seldom, and 31% never.” Can you legislate morality? As Christians have we ever thought our witness to the world is so weak that few are convinced by what they see. The identity crises we see is due to people not knowing their true identity in Christ. Politicians are politicians. They are beholden to cooperate interests and lobbyists, both parties. Behind the scenes they chum it up together, while all the while the people are divided and distracted. This is Babylon. We know that this world system is not going to last. It seems so confusing that many can not see this….
When I read the Sermon on the Mount I am always blown away with this verse, “For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:20 Meaning that as Christians, Christ is concerned with our hearts, our motives, how we treat one another. In the political realm we are putting our trust in politicians who have their own self interests ahead of those of the people. Perhaps if the church acted like the church in the Book of Acts, people would want to change their lives. The church took care of one another, supported one another and they were one in purpose. So many societal ills is because churches adopted became organizations/business's instead of remaining a movement.
Can you legislate morality? All US laws are based on morality. We don’t force Christianity onto people, but morals and laws based on those 10 universal principles are real.
Well reasoned video. The challenge is both parties and candidates are not fully practicing their stated positions. In fact, some lie about them…saying one thing and doing another. In the same way some churches “say” they stand for biblical principles but in practice do not abide by them. Given that, it takes more than just a review of stated positions to choose. Thanks for the video. I pray the Lord leads all believers to make good choices based on biblical principles and effective discernment.
I will not combine church and politics. It’s imperative for me to vote. I research the candidates up until the very moment the whole time taking it to God… I am praying through the whole process of researching and asking God to lead me in the decision and I will stand on it. I will trust God in my decision and him ONLY! Thanks so much for this video.
We must realize that the government is run by other people, with human flaws and personal agendas, so we must, especially, as believers in God, never put our trust in the government.
@@ManSittinNext2DaMan I have lost my faith in most Pastors, as I started researching his teachings, I realize that most jobs are created by Democrats not Republicans, did Pastor do his research before teaching the flock.
That part!!! I had a awakening and will no longer be entangled with the cares of this world. I am not voting and not because of these specific candidates but in general. The government and politics are evil. I do not want to participate in any shape or form. Including “pledging allegiance”. As Christians, our only allegiance should be to the Most High
Don't be deceived brothers and sisters!! The political party a person attaches himself to doesn't change who he really is. A person's character matters!
He left character out because if he didn't his argument to vote Republican would be flawed since that candidate does not possess an iota of Christian values. Disappointing if you ask me.
None of these issues will matter if we no longer have a Democracy to vote in. I am voting for justice and for continuing a way of life that allows us to debate which party a Christian can vote for. Supporting a candidate who frankly spits in the face of God is not a vote that I can live with.
The Democrats have been lying to you, pretending to "save democracy" as a cover for implementing their evil agenda. Don't fall for it! Kamala voted against medical care for babies who survived botched abortions. She's heartless!!
@@thebeatagp This is such a great topic. It's so clear that just as there are many members of the Body, there are many Christian views on voting. I've heard there are even some Christians who don't believe we should engage in politics at all. I would love to see you facilitate a group discussion of Christians who have various voting opinions. I believe we could all get a lot out of it.
I appreciate your honesty and time! But to me it is so much more than the list that you provided! I am struggling as a Christian because of course we all want to do the righteous thing . A person character says so much about their heart!
Thank you Pastor Parr for this video. I have shared it on my FB page to help any family member or friend who might be struggling with selecting the candidate that best aligns with our Christian principles and values. God bless.
Excellent video!!! This clarity came at the right time for me because I’ve been omit plating who to vote for.Instead of focusing on the individual themselves, I’ve been focusing on the values that each party represents
The pro-life movement should encompass every aspect of life, from conception to natural death. This means advocating not only for the unborn but also for the well-being of individuals after birth. We must strive to support people throughout their lives, ensuring they can live free from violence and poverty. A true pro-life stance rejects systemic injustices, including the disproportionate violence against marginalized communities. It also calls for the abolition of the death penalty, emphasizing that all life is valuable and deserving of protection. By fostering a culture of life, we can create a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
I also think that if you are prolife, you can't be pro-guns, because at least 40,000 Americans die from gun violence each year. We can't overlook that. We are the most violent and pro-gun nation in the West, & this is unacceptable.
Yes, all of this except where it contradicts the Bible on the death penalty. But we should all be supporting all stages of life. And, helping young families who are choosing life.
Classic leftist rhetoric. First, will you denounce all convenience abortion as murder, excepting only cases where the life of the mother is in imminent danger? I bet you won't, which is why I don't expect a response from you. Second, the death penalty has NOTHING to do with the "pro-life" position. There are ABSOLUTELY times where killing someone is not only just, it is commanded by God. You have an ignorant view of what the pro-life position is, and you certainly do not understand God's position on the matter. Committed Christians have no business voting for a Democrat at the state or national level. It is an abomination.
I was very surprised at this video! It was interesting, it was informed, and it was very much on point! I feel the exact same way that you do about all of the topics. God bless you, my brother.🙏🙏🙏
That doesn't mean that we should sit around not doing anything though. For example "natural death" exist but just because I might die today shouldn't stop me from eating and looking both ways before i cross the road
That might be true, that is not an excuse to vote for wickedness, I don't mean sin, there is a difference, one party is anti-God and just me saying that you know who that is.
That's true. We have the responsibility to vote. But we always have to remember that God is in control. Whatever happens, it will serve His ultimate purpose. Nice comment!
Must be a Calvinist or someone who has been influenced by their thinking. God gave us free will to choose and we will have to live with it. God will make his overall plan work no matter what we decide.
My daughter got pregnant at 16 so yes, we had the abortion issue first hand. My granddaughter is now a beautiful 22 year old who has brought so much joy to me and to others. I was told by Planned Parenthood that my daughter could abort without my knowledge and permission. lucikly my daughter made the right choice.
AMEN!!!!! So glad she did.
❤💯🙌🏾
Good job teaching your child that there is always hope. 🎉
Thank you for choosing life…God bless your family. ❤
Alright now I feel the same way my brother.....
I got pregnant when I was 16. I made the choice to abort. A month later, I realized that was a baby that I had taken part in killing. That was 52 years ago. I made some really bad choices after that. Sex, drugs & alcohol became my life. Then, I became a Respiratory Therapist and started trying to save as many premies as I could. I finally met The Lord, at 36, and have been trying to save pre-born babies ever since. It took having 3 children, in less than 3 years to bring me to my knees. God will forgive you, if you ask Him. Repent and turn, it’s the only way to peace and joy in life. SAVE THE BABY HUMANS!
SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND
Thanks for sharing ❤
Amen
Amen
Amen. Every person I've ever known regret abort their baby. I believe the same reason you said after having children cause the regret more. They say it's so painful. Praise the Lord we have a forgiving God. You will see your baby again in heaven. That's something to look forward to.
Deuteronomy 30: 18-19
God is pro-choice! I would prefer that allchildren loved and wanted!
I was raped at 16. I did not give my son the death penalty for what his father did. He is a good son who gave me two good grandkids. I cannot imagine them not being part of my life. What does God want with my vote? To uphold the morals of the Bible.
So sorry to hear how your story started... Beauty can come from ashes. Your story is proof. ♥️
Sorry to hear about what happened to you. I also know that if you were if someone who had a similar circumstances became a single parent without any family to help which needed help to support their child, the Party would have left them in the dust calling them lazy because they struggled to work, care for a young child, pay for daycare, and no opportunity to go to school to further their education because they had no time or money to sacrifice in order to help them get ahead. This is one reason why we have generations who struggle with poverty.
Abortion is wrong, we can all agree with that. We can still work to address that issue, BUT we should also look at EVERY issue and vote for the party that will work to address the wrongs in life - it’s also why we should force politicians to work together instead of rejecting bills simply because it was written by the opposite party.
@briellecastello4770 So what if your rapist was your father, uncle, brother, or cousin? What if you were a 9, 10, 11, or 12 year old child when you were raped by your relative?
I'm glad you were able to make that decision and you are blessed to give birth to your son and now have two grandchildren. Unfortunately that is not the case for many people. 16 years old and being 12-year-old years old is two different places in life.. I will not want to force my 12 year old daughter to have a baby by a man who raped her.
@treenaweathersby2563 Amen! I agree completely. Every situation is not Black or white. There are many, many shades of gray.
I want to thank you for sharing this video. This election has been weighing so heavy on my heart. Your video is what I have been searching for. I wanted a high level of what each party stands for without watching the debates as they just criticize one another and never really talk about the core values each party stands for. I also didn't want to spend a large about of time on politics as I feel it's more important to study God's Word and stay focused on Jesus Christ. Thank you again for posting this. I have shared your video on my Facebook page I'm hopes it will help others. Prayers for you my brother. ❤
Totally agreed that Christians should let their faith dictate their politics rather than the other way around.
Yeah. This is the difference between Progressive Christians and Conservative Christians. Progressive Christians shape their religious views around their progressive views, whereas conservative Christians shape their political views around their faith.

@@roger44alan teaching your children that sex is a gift from God, not to be open until you are married would help immensely! I raised daughters that were taught to respect themselves and to never give away that special gift until God has blessed their marriage! If a woman or child is raped, a mother’s life is in jeopardy or the child will be born and suffer excruciating pain before it departs this world is not what our loving God would not want any of His children to go through. I don’t believe abortions should be used for birth control, but if I have to choose between my daughter or the child in her womb I will choose my daughter! I hope none of us ever have to make that choice, but someone will!
All the truth, both good and bad parts, not leaving out uncomfortable truths.
Our youngest daughter was born at 22 weeks. The OBGYN kinda fibbed and told the hospital staff the baby was 24 weeks. They wouldn't have been willing to do what was needed to save her at 22 weeks. We would have lost her. She is a healthy 17 year today. And I thank God for her everyday.
The way abortion impacts me is the callousness it has created in the medical community.
Also, I was adopted, I am thankful for the parents God gave me and for life.
Blessings for that OBGYN!!🙏🫶
The rationale behind Planned Parenthood’s objective should not be forgotten which is the reduction in the population of minorities. That’s why abortion clinics are located in predominantly minority areas.
@@Bigmyoun1 Blessings upon Blessings to you and yours! I cared for many premies like your girl. My two favorite Neonatologists didn’t turn away any newborns.

😊😊😊
A very thoughtful and balanced presentation and view. I love how you just present the facts.
as a Christian, I can not vote for a party that advocates for abortion!!!
Donald Trump advocates for abortion
How can you vote democrat when they are an Antichristian party? They kicked Jesus Christ, the Kennedy's and MLK
out of the democrat party sometime ago. They have no Christian virtues.
MARRIAGE WAS INSTITUTED BY JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF, ANYTHING ELSE DESECRTATES THE MARRIAGE INSTITUTION.
MARRIAGE ACCORDING TO JESUS Christ
1 Man + 1 Woman = 1 Flesh = Marriage
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have, ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For, this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. - Matthew 19:4-6 KJV
it CHOICE, make them vote on ABORTION. “PRO-CHOICE is PRO-ABORTION!” The birth process originated with Jesus Christ; it was designed by Him! Interfering with it at any point goes against that God given design and terminates a soul for Him
There is a huge difference between advocating and protecting one’s right to choose. Just like there is a huge difference between what the right says it’s doing and what it is actually doing. Abortion is just the banner subject in front of the many rights they tie in with banner legislation that they don’t advertise.
You also think about guns. Republicans are not conservative. They are promoting their own agendas.
Why can't we AFFIRM that whatever God made the child, He did it right the first time!
As a medical professional, just as some babies are born with too many x or y chromosomes, sometimes they are born with both sex or hormonal discrepancies. There needs to not be blanked laws. Families should not have to leave this great country when considering treatment options for these types of rarities.
@@ginastephens873what about the other normal embryos who are killed
@@ginastephens873 yeah that's definitely the primary issue right now.. rare genetic mutations/issues. Not the 99 percent of these surgeries the are done to 16 year olds without any genetic issues and just have social justice warrior parents or have identity issues like every teenager.

If you work in the field you absolutely know this is true and choose to ignore it or you do not work in the field bc it is one of the 2.
It's almost like how incest or the r word is the biggest problem in abortion land, not the 99% that use it as birth control. Thanks for your help embracing this increasingly rising issue and supporting mutilation of children in the name if admittedly ultra rare scenarios. You should pat yourself on the back in my opinion. It is almost impossible to be kind to those that embrace the mutilation of any child healthy or not.
@@jerrodriley429099 percent don't use it as birth control. Why trivialize people suffering to make you feel better about their decisions? You. Are. Not. God. You're not even he's adjacent.

I’m 25 and grew up in a Hispanic household in Massachusetts. I was taught in school that voting republican would mean that I’m racist and against my own people. I love Jesus and once I started to research what the democrats believe in, I was torn to see that they stand for many things I am against because of my faith. In my school they breezed over issues like abortion and medical transition for children. After years of wrestling with this I am glad to say that my eyes have been opened and will be voting republican this year. I still struggle to talk about my political views at church and with my family because people in this state blindly vote for democrats and demonize republicans. Pray for our nation
Please, viewers, realize this woman's story is very common! We must work to spread the truth to even the Body of Christ!
God bless your heart. I’m glad your eyes are open
God bless you my sister. I totally understand where you are coming from. When you are in a system and a bubble where everyone around you EXPECTS you to vote a certain way, it can be hard to be countercultural in those situations. Kudos to you for standing strong on what matters most!
This must be difficult, just as it is when our soldier see people heads shot and roll in front of their face. Or when a woman come home and catch her husband in bed with another woman. I gave these scenarios to say this. God have all Power. He allowed the constitution, the law of the land. That law allows equal rights to vote, for job equality and things that may be of discomfort to some , however who are we to pick and choose who benefit from equal rights . It's almost like saying it was OK for slavery and deny colored folks rights. Now let's talk about another guide. God gave us a guide for eternal life. The Bible. He instructed us to follow the 10 commandments: thou shall not lie, kill, steal, fornicate, committ adultery , envy, greed, to honor they mother and thy father And He said His greatest commandment was Love. For us to Love one another. I posted the two scenarios, adultery, killing because some will say that is no where near abortion . We'll I stopped by to tell you God said No 1 sin is greater than another except blasphemy which shall not be forgiven. We are all of sin. God ask us to pray for one another not judge. He said judge ye not unless you be judge. He is the 1st and the last. He is the final judge. He said His ways are not our ways. Meaning no way will we ever understand all his doing or allowing. Who are we to choose the degree of sin when the master said they are all of equal. We must Let God be God. He is A God of Love. He loved us so much He gave his son Jesus the Christ to die for our sin. He is not a God of confusion, hate or division. He is a God of Love, grace and mercy. I trust and stand on God's love. I choose Love over hate. My Vote Kamala blue 💙 I c

As Christians, we need to be set apart. I will never again endorse a man/woman or a country. We are supposed to be set apart and a peculiar people. Both sides are the same, it’s all a game, smoke and mirrors.
Too many people are caught up and attached to the wicked systems of this world.
There is a quote for you 20s is based on heart, 40s is based on brain.
Agreed. In 1992 was the last time I voted for a Democrat (Bill Clinton). But in examining what I stand for, I could no longer support that party that seems to stand against Godly principles.
Excellent! Thank you for the thorough and fair handling of the positions of these 2 parties. Thankful for you! I listen to you a lot. Keep up the good work!
Took a lot of guts to do this video Preacher. Good job explaining it all.
You don't have all the facts, you're just skimming over each topic per Democrat and Republican views. Republicans want to band abortions for women who have been raped, molested by their father, I'm sorry, but if my body was forceably taken over without my permission and forced to pleasure a man while he beats and holds me down to rape me and I become pregnant I'm going to be forced to carry a baby by those means I don't believe should be made a law by a bunch of men who have no idea what it's like to be a woman. Grant it I don't believe in abortion after a heartbeat around 6 weeks. Yes, there should be a law for any abortions after 6 weeks, but there is a lot that plays into a woman's decision to not carry a baby if done that early. The church isn't going to keep me out of poverty, help pay my bills, and now the Republicans are talking about making contraception illegal . Don't we have enough Americans living paycheck to paycheck and you now want to take my right to contraception. The Republicans work for Big Pharma and Big Corporations making sure the Rick don't have to pay taxes, but when I was making minimum wage, with children as a single mom I had to pay every year. Where were the Republicans at when Americans were still needing help after COVID. They had enough money left for 3 more stimulus checks for every American, but voted against helping the American people. They are too busy padding their own pockets with government money that is put aside for us Americans, to busy cutting important programs for Seniors and low income families. It cost more money a week for 1 child to go to daycare than what amount of money that parent would bring home in a paycheck. You need to do some more deep fact checking when it comes to Republicans at least the Democrats fight to set up programs to give a leg up for a family. We're not living back in the 60's where a one parent income was able to provide a good life for his family. Abortion is always going to be an issue and I'm completely against them at over 6 weeks, but if I was raped by law I would be forced to have the baby. That's traumatic. Neither candidate should be running, but Trump has screws loose in his head. He's dangerous and a convicted felon, but if an American with a felony conviction on their record tries to get a job even at McDonald's they would deny him an opportunity, but we're supposed to vote and elect a convicted felon for president of the United States??? Who already started an insurrection that cost 2 people their lives.
You're all not thinking about Trump clearly. I'm telling you he will cause a nuclear war, he's so stupid like that. He lies and only looks out for his upper class people, he does not care about the struggles of the regular average family trying to make it. He has to keep the rich and corporate friends happy with tax cuts, so when he isn't the president anymore he'll still have his connections to make money with.

Your video explains the positions of both sides where people can really appreciate. I am a Christian, a Republican and a retired Army Veteran. I changed my political affiliation almost 15 years ago for several reasons. As a Veteran, I have witnessed too many homeless Veterans who are eating out of trash cans and sleeping under bridges. There is NO WAY that illegal immigrants should be able to come here and have access to benefits that Veterans can't get from our own government. As a Black woman, I owe the Democrats nothing. I do not agree with any of their stances (abortion, being "woke", etc...) My Christian faith has guided me...and I cannot and will not support a party who has a problem with saying the Name of Jesus...or with saying "Merry Christmas." I thank you, man of God for this informative video.
Brave mom!
Former U.S. Immigration employees here. I'm always stunned to read this take that the Undocumented are free loading. Every single hour of their labor for wealthy employers as well as small business owners is flipped for a profit that is a multiple of their wages. These profits and the taxes they generate easily cover the paltry benefits that an extremely small group of immigrants qualify for. I'm not sure where this narrative started that every migrant hopping the fence at the border immediately begins receiving "free money". As a Christian it is unsettling to see other Christians speaking false testimony.
I'm a Vet also and the Vets on the street want to be there and not come and get help the help is here for them I know in Philadelphia went to the Vet center and got help so I don't agree because I know help is here for them if they want it .
I'm a veteran also, served 25 years. I agree with you on the homelessness, neither party has done anything about this issue. Also, the National Defense Act of 2017, hurt veterans. We were promised free medical care for retirement, but now have to pay. Also, don't forget about Jan 6th. Vote how you want but neither party has done anything for veterans.

I am prolife, and anti abortion. What I don't hear addressed, and condemned in the pulpits and the public forum are the sins of fornication and adultery, which for the most part lead to abortion. God equally hates hypocrisy. All sins are sins in the eyes of God.
Those arguments rarely come up.
I agree with the reasons in this video and they were very well stated. But the most pressing issue is that the present Conservative Party are do not establish these precedents FAIRLY. They have always pushed agendas and reform that are favorable to the rich and affluent under the guise of faith based values. I believe this is why many Christians compromise and vote democrat.
Yes! Why are so many Christians willing to overlook such things and say they are character issues and don't matter? Breaks my heart. I mean that sincerely. 😢
Because the modern Church suffers from self-righteousness, hypocrisy & pride… it’s easy for Christians to stand strong against abortion & the gay “stuff” because those are not our sins but it takes real courage to stand against adultery, fornication & other sins that run rampant in the Christian community
He talks about these issues .
As a Christian… We do have a different standard so as far as I’m concerned, you do not vote for someone who genocides babies, you do not vote for someone who is promoting castration on children… Definitely goes against the moral compass of Christians. To me, it’s a no-brainer.

My husband was a pastor for 21 years and always spoke on abortion from the pulpit. He left the pastorate 12 years ago to present pro-life apologetics and the case for the unborn. You would not believe how many people come up to him after he speaks to ask, "Why doesn't my pastor speak about this issue?" It's too important to not speak out when abortion is such an affront to the character to God. Thank you for sharing this most important video.

Abortion is not the only issue to consider.
@coz7891 Abortion is not the only issue, but when over 2200 children are being killed daily by it in the most barbaric way - through dismemberment, disembowelment or decapitation - it is the most pressing issue. If you have ever seen what abortion does, you would see it for what it is and that is the intentional killing of the most vulnerable among us. It should be foremost in our consideration as believers.
Lady abortion must be painful but look at the world we living in now, before abortion there needs to be Education on both sides men or woman, but also at the same time have You seen stories of how many patente and family memebers abuse of their children where is the church to talk about that.
@@bentmch1 I agree with you, but as human beings, it is our responsibility to eliminate suffering, not those who suffer. Abortion takes a human life. And I would guess you wouldn't be okay with killing toddlers because they were in abusive homes. We have to start seeing the unborn and full human beings with worth.

Thank you!
Everything you shared is exactly the reason I found myself Republican about 8-10 years ago. As a young black woman I felt that I was a victim to the democratic ideals and values and ultimately when my life became more in step with Christ my political beliefs followed.
Amen. On the job, I work with White Liberals/Progressives who are quick to advocate and encourage the worse pathologies in the Black culture (promiscuous sex, single parenting, aversion to marriage, abortion, victimhood, lack of intellectual curiosity; as a matter of respect for culture that they would never encourage in their own families or their friends families because they recognize the destructive nature of those beliefs and practices. They do so with the kindest dispositions, but I know inwardly they are wicked and not loving. Those are the true racists of society. They encourage the destruction of Black culture, and then encourage Blacks to vote on the issues inflicted by Liberal policies then blamed on Conservatives, actual sincere White people, and the Republican Party. They encourage Blacks trapped in dire financial and moral circumstances to continue to vote for the policies that further entraps their lives. They dissuade Blacks from taking advantage of the issues they vote for while these racists take advantage of it within their groups, affording higher education and success from one generation to the next. Black Americans have supplied a well-oiled financial machine for the people who have told them that they are victims and that they should accept the tokens of success as a measure of good progression into the future by ensuring that their votes provide the best lives for the people who actually care about them and work tirelessly to ensure their success while actualizing the opposite. The sad thing is that many Blacks I speak to would rather shout me down and embrace their victimhood. Commonsense is kept strongly outside the door. I'm hoping that Candace Owens and others like her have made such an impact, that Blacks really turn out to vote for Trump in a landslide and teach the Democrat Party a lesson. November 5, 2024!

You don't have to be a liberal to vote Democrat. You can be against abortion and vote Democrat. Trump said his presidency will be "great for women's reproductive rights" what does that mean? Trump also incited an insurrection and shouldn't be qualified to run for president due to violating the 14th amendment. Mike Pence who is vocal about his faith was turned on by Trump and MAGA and has been essentially banished by the party. Same with Liz Cheney. Republican party has been co-opted by Trump and MAGA hope you know that.
welcome! the conservative/republican party is not perfect by any stretch BUT we have a duty as Christians to not allow people who HATE OUR RELIGION to get in to control.

God gives us choices. Eternal life or hell. So who gives man/human authority to take our choices n away. No one but God. Folks are using human emotions. Because the truth is hard for human to swallow, which is we all are of sin. The bible says any sin is unholy therefore cannot be categorized.
Proverbs 6:16-19 - Six things the Lord hates
Proverbs 6 lists six sins that are detestable to God - arrogance, lying, killing the innocent, plotting evil, hastening to do wrong, and stirring up trouble. This makes it clear that sins like pride and deception are just as disgusting to the Lord as murder.
The truth is God asked us to pray for one another. However, He did say he is a God of love, peace, grace and mercy. He asked us to help the poor, disable and needy. That is what our earthly choices should be focus on. God will be the punisher of all of us at judgement day. In other words, folks need to step back and: Let God will be done. he said prayer changes things. We are not listening to his words. Folks here are doing what God ask us not to do. Idolize others yet not study for themselves. He is angry, folks can't see love vs hate. Oh, I can imagine many more hurricanes. The US has grown racist, divisive, folks voting to not help the poor. Get ready for many more storms. Folks on this page getting tricked like Adam & Eve.
@@janicedraughn9005You are deceived! Well, on judgment day, you will be asked why you withheld to do good when it was in your POWER to do it! I wonder if when you started your first job, you went out and looked for it and/or applied for it. Or did you only pray for it?? As if the Almighty don't require any action from you 🤔.
@@janicedraughn9005 Fewer of us would be here if our Mothers felt the way you do.
@terrisammons007 It's not about how I feel. That is the exact point I was making. We are not to allow our emotions to categorize sin. As I have mentioned several times, the Bible says all sin , no small, nor large separates from God. Anything unholy. God gave reference in the Bible an example that a liar is the same in his eyes as a murderer. He also said in Romans 13.1 we should abide by our authorities inwhich he have appointed. He explained we should know the difference. That the righteous one would represent Love and joy and the other would cause the world to groan. God is a God of love and peace. He exemplified that when He gave us His son Jesus to die for our sins. He said @ judgment day we will all be accountable for our thoughts, words, and deeds. He never asked us to judge those in sin. Why not? Because we are all of sin. And because he said confess a and repent and you shall be forgiven. My question to those who think they have authority over God. If God forgives all. Who are we to punish whom he have the power to forgive. You think a just God would want you to vote your rights away. The rights of equality in which he allowed. You see, God has all Power. No man will ever understand his doing. That's why He said: His ways are not our ways. To trust Him. He gave us a guide to live on earth, which came with leaders. We have to trust God wholeheartedly. How can we be so strongly about 1 sin, abortion yet overlook all the verses he commanded us to feed the poor, care for the old and disable. God is not a God of confusion. Humans are. He asked us to pray for the sinners. As disciples we are to use His words to lead people to God. He said: If I be lifted up, I will draw all men to me. God is angry because we are not studying his word, asking him for understanding. Not recognizing the difference from love and hate. How can you folks justify saying God is a God of love, yet say we will vote for hate. All I can say is I hope everyone continues to study God's word. We all will need Him. We are about to see storms, tornadoes, and hurricanes because so much evil and lies. I pray He has mercy on us all.

I wondered when I would hear a pastor address voting in the upcoming election. I think that you handled the subject very well without telling me who I should vote for. Thanks!
Pastor Mark Driscoll " God has already won the election".
There are many more out there as well. Glad to see the number increasing!
Cornerstone Chapel Leesburg VA does. Pastor Gary is great!
Pastor Jack Hibbs @ Calvary Chapel Chino Hills along with Pastor Gary Hamrick @ Cornerstone in Leesburg, VA have been addressing election issues for years.
Ditto Voddie Baucham.
Thank you so much for articulating these issues with such clarity and honesty. I plan to share this video with many people in my life and hope that they will receive it openly.
I’m glad to know there is at least one video on the internet where someone presents his AND the other side’s views accurately and fairly. Great job, as usual!
The Pastor needs to be corrected, it is not accurate do your research the Democrats have created more jobs than the Republicans. God does not show Partiality. Believers speak the truth and judge righteously we do not cherry pick sin.
This isn’t it.
Allen was disingenuous because he acted as if MAGA (TRUMP) platform is the same as Republicans and it is NOT! Trump is using the Republican banner to carry out his project2025 and none of it includes the Christian values Allen listed. Be honest people!
Glad you took the time to speak out and speak up💜👊🏾💯
A true Christian is not a feminist, not pro-abortion, not pro LGBTQs
Yup
Well said! Also a true Christian is not a divorcee , or in their 3rd marriage because God hates divorce!
True, people are brainwashed into believing democrats are for us. But they are really racists and against Christian beliefs. Thank God I'm not democrat anymore. People need to do their own research on this party and stop believing whatever the news and media tells them. I don't even try to reach people 18 or older, it's a waste of time for me. I support Trump and don't care if my democrat co-workers or church members are mad about it. I stand up for what is right. If you fall for this party, than you will surely fall for the anti-christ. Hosea 4:6, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me.
A true Christian is also not a nationalist.
A true Christian is a feminists but anti abortions
Agreed. No one is stopping you from being kind, giving money to the poor, caring for immigrants, etc. if that’s your concern. You can live out those Christian values without voting for the gov. to forcibly take/redistribute other ppls money, or take away their children to be transitioned/mutilated, or shut down their business if they don’t affirm other ppls lifestyle choices
Amen!
We know who you're voting for 😂
Exactly, God dicated each of us to these social causes, not government.

This was an OUTSTANDING explanation of the 2 parties and the weightier policies!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I respect you for your courage to address this issue. I agree with you and I hope you will not loose any followers. Thank you for your work‼️
One of the BEST most simplified educational, truthful, professionally made video out there !!💯👌 🙌 WELL DONE Mr 👏 💯! This will be shared to many who are blinded by misinformation, culture, race, etc
I absolutely agree with you. Thanks for this summary. God bless you and God bless America.
Can someone help me understand how a party that supports “unrestricted” religious freedom with one hand can with the other hand push to legislate against ideals that do not align with their religion? I struggle to understand how that is religious freedom. It sounds more like “you are free to follow any religion you want as long as it is exactly the same as mine”.
Great Job! Going to pass this around to my church! Thank you for sharing this. I’m sure it wasn’t easy
Great information. Thank you for doing this in such a peaceful way. God bless you
Before watching all I'll say is that:
Whether you vote democrat or republican, whether you identify as liberal or conservative. A christians main focus is on the word of God at the end of the day not the ideology of whatever side 🤔. Have a blessed one everyone.
Aye Allen Parr thanks for the heart, and I agree with much of what you've said and appreciate your nuanced take here. Keep up the good work 😎.
Agreed, Amen, Amen & Amen!
But you can’t realistically support the platform of demons from the left. So yes it does matter.
New Democrats promote gender affirmation and support gay marriage. I don’t think God would approve that.
I read a quote that says “There are no morals in politic.” Politicians compromise to get what want what the people want. Either way who wins I am not afraid.
We are living in the last days.
Thank you so much for this video! God bless you and give you strength and courage to continue God’s work!
There’s no political solution to a spiritual problem.
True but it also get worse when we put people who are unashamedly and unapologetically antiGod into power. All they do is enable demonic forces to advance in their wickedness by their policies, what they promote and stand for. Which will eventually come down to the persecution of the church, and all wouldn't comply with their ungodly laws and policies.
Jesus said , "If you love me , you obey me. "
But if the king follows godly rules, the whole nation benefits.
Otherwise...the whole nation..sucumb.
Try to study..the two.. different destinations of the northern kingdom = Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah.
@@paulgarduno2867 Neither follow godly rules.
@@justingarner9806 you need a basic study on the history of the Kings and their political -religious policies.
Try learning the ministry of prophet Elijah.
I have A LOT of respect for you Pastor Parr. Many pastors now days don't want to touch this subject for fear of scrutiny. But you have shown no fear and care more about the truth. Thank you
No necassarily. How can you not talk about the person and their character. That matters allot to most people. If character doesn't matter, than voting doesnt matter. I'm voting also on character and will not just let that slide
@@karlinwilliamson9329 I’m not a big fan of trumps character but we have to pick the lesser evil
@@CH-xr5uz I have never seen Trump show any of this: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. So I can't vote for him. Kamala has shown some of these traits. And she's less in the spotlight. Character matters to me.
@@karlinwilliamson9329 well I can’t support a party that kills babies and tries to redefine humanity. Those issues are more important than character
Honestly though most pastors including Minister Allen are wrong. As followers of Christ we need to stay out of it. It is wrong for us to pledge allegiance to a country and to endorse men. It’s not Biblical
And no I am not a Jehovah Witness but I agree with them on that stance. We shouldn’t be involved with any wicked and corrupt systems of this world.
Neither party fully aligns with the Word.Period.
True, but one aligns more than the other one.
@@sanfran3323 being close is not enough.
@@ogechijulius8956 okay, but while there's sin in this world there will be no perfect party or candidate. You don't have to vote if you don't like them.
@@sanfran3323 the point I am trying to make is that whichever side one chooses, it shouldn’t be a reason for condemnation, as both sides have their flaws. What truly matters is that God is still in control, and in His eyes, no sin is greater than another
@@ogechijulius8956 I'm not condemning anyone, but I agree with you. My point is that one party is much closer to my values and beliefs as a Christian than the other.
THANKYOU FOR THIS VIDEO.👍
“According to a Gallup poll in March 2024, 21% of Americans attend church every week, and 9% attend almost every week. This means that 3 in 10 Americans attend religious services regularly. The remaining Americans attend less frequently, with 11% attending about once a month, 25% seldom, and 31% never.”
Can you legislate morality? As Christians have we ever thought our witness to the world is so weak that few are convinced by what they see. The identity crises we see is due to people not knowing their true identity in Christ.
Politicians are politicians. They are beholden to cooperate interests and lobbyists, both parties. Behind the scenes they chum it up together, while all the while the people are divided and distracted.
This is Babylon. We know that this world system is not going to last. It seems so confusing that many can not see this….
All legislature has a moral component.
When I read the Sermon on the Mount I am always blown away with this verse,
“For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 5:20
Meaning that as Christians, Christ is concerned with our hearts, our motives, how we treat one another.
In the political realm we are putting our trust in politicians who have their own self interests ahead of those of the people.
Perhaps if the church acted like the church in the Book of Acts, people would want to change their lives. The church took care of one another, supported one another and they were one in purpose. So many societal ills is because churches adopted became organizations/business's instead of remaining a movement.
@@mandooakes8509you might wanna rethink that
@@chrisrogers4052 Why would I rethink it? Which laws contain no moral component?
Can you legislate morality?
All US laws are based on morality.
We don’t force Christianity onto people, but morals and laws based on those 10 universal principles are real.
God bless you for making this video. Thank you for making this subject crystal clear. 🙏🏻
Allen, thanks for taking the time to make this video and laying out the arguments in a very calm, logical way.
Awesome video, Allen. Thank you for being so truthful with grace. I pray many watch this. God bless you, brother! - Hanna
Pastor Parr you were spot on about what Christians need to think about before they vote! Excellent presentation!
Well reasoned video. The challenge is both parties and candidates are not fully practicing their stated positions. In fact, some lie about them…saying one thing and doing another. In the same way some churches “say” they stand for biblical principles but in practice do not abide by them. Given that, it takes more than just a review of stated positions to choose. Thanks for the video. I pray the Lord leads all believers to make good choices based on biblical principles and effective discernment.
I will not combine church and politics. It’s imperative for me to vote. I research the candidates up until the very moment the whole time taking it to God… I am praying through the whole process of researching and asking God to lead me in the decision and I will stand on it. I will trust God in my decision and him ONLY! Thanks so much for this video.
Jesus Christ will separate the sheep from the goats! He said it I believe it!😃
All I know is my dad always told me less government is best!
Less government is best, because it makes room for more God in our hearts.
@@blessingsofliberty424 🙏 AMEN
Your dad is wrong
@@blessingsofliberty424 this is absolute nonsense
You have a very smart father.
Freedom is a higher priority than abortion - no freedom means we can't even have a conversation about abortion.
Excellent comparison of main issues. Thank you for your insight always clear and concise all your videos are great!
I have lost all faith in government, but I also recognize that I had put too much faith in the government to begin with.
Dang. This.
Shouldn't have faith in the government in the first place. You Christian, be concerned about the things of God.
We must realize that the government is run by other people, with human flaws and personal agendas, so we must, especially, as believers in God, never put our trust in the government.
@@ManSittinNext2DaMan I have lost my faith in most Pastors, as I started researching his teachings, I realize that most jobs are created by Democrats not Republicans, did Pastor do his research before teaching the flock.
That part!!! I had a awakening and will no longer be entangled with the cares of this world. I am not voting and not because of these specific candidates but in general.
The government and politics are evil. I do not want to participate in any shape or form. Including “pledging allegiance”. As Christians, our only allegiance should be to the Most High
Don't be deceived brothers and sisters!! The political party a person attaches himself to doesn't change who he really is. A person's character matters!
He left character out because if he didn't his argument to vote Republican would be flawed since that candidate does not possess an iota of Christian values. Disappointing if you ask me.
@@simmonssx2 I agree 100%
And Kamala’s past is better? Have you looked into it at all? She has her own scandals with her past.
@simmonssx2 which does he not support or believe in?
@@RoadtoJoy88 Unfortunately I'm not talking about Trump's distant past. Many of his transgressions have been fairly recent.
One of the best videos explaining the difference between the two parties and their beliefs. Great job!
None of these issues will matter if we no longer have a Democracy to vote in. I am voting for justice and for continuing a way of life that allows us to debate which party a Christian can vote for. Supporting a candidate who frankly spits in the face of God is not a vote that I can live with.
Understood. Thanks for sharing!
The Democrats have been lying to you, pretending to "save democracy" as a cover for implementing their evil agenda. Don't fall for it! Kamala voted against medical care for babies who survived botched abortions. She's heartless!!
We don’t live in a democracy. We have a representative republic. I agree with your first sentence and am glad that you’re also voting for Trump!!
@@thebeatagp This is such a great topic. It's so clear that just as there are many members of the Body, there are many Christian views on voting. I've heard there are even some Christians who don't believe we should engage in politics at all. I would love to see you facilitate a group discussion of Christians who have various voting opinions. I believe we could all get a lot out of it.
I appreciate your honesty and time! But to me it is so much more than the list that you provided! I am struggling as a Christian because of course we all want to do the righteous thing . A person character says so much about their heart!
Everyone should listen to this. I appreciate your honesty and your beliefs. Thank you.
The Holy Ghost will speak, and you'll make the right decision if obedient
Thank you Pastor Parr for this video. I have shared it on my FB page to help any family member or friend who might be struggling with selecting the candidate that best aligns with our Christian principles and values. God bless.
Very thought provoking. Thank you for your sermon Pastor.
Excellent video!!! This clarity came at the right time for me because I’ve been omit plating who to vote for.Instead of focusing on the individual themselves, I’ve been focusing on the values that each party represents
The pro-life movement should encompass every aspect of life, from conception to natural death. This means advocating not only for the unborn but also for the well-being of individuals after birth. We must strive to support people throughout their lives, ensuring they can live free from violence and poverty. A true pro-life stance rejects systemic injustices, including the disproportionate violence against marginalized communities. It also calls for the abolition of the death penalty, emphasizing that all life is valuable and deserving of protection. By fostering a culture of life, we can create a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
I also think that if you are prolife, you can't be pro-guns, because at least 40,000 Americans die from gun violence each year. We can't overlook that. We are the most violent and pro-gun nation in the West, & this is unacceptable.
Yes, all of this except where it contradicts the Bible on the death penalty. But we should all be supporting all stages of life. And, helping young families who are choosing life.
We are living in some scary times were assisted death is and has become a thing.
Classic leftist rhetoric. First, will you denounce all convenience abortion as murder, excepting only cases where the life of the mother is in imminent danger? I bet you won't, which is why I don't expect a response from you. Second, the death penalty has NOTHING to do with the "pro-life" position. There are ABSOLUTELY times where killing someone is not only just, it is commanded by God. You have an ignorant view of what the pro-life position is, and you certainly do not understand God's position on the matter. Committed Christians have no business voting for a Democrat at the state or national level. It is an abomination.
I was very surprised at this video! It was interesting, it was informed, and it was very much on point! I feel the exact same way that you do about all of the topics. God bless you, my brother.🙏🙏🙏
The person who wins will be whoever God wants it to be, to use according to His purpose.
That doesn't mean that we should sit around not doing anything though. For example "natural death" exist but just because I might die today shouldn't stop me from eating and looking both ways before i cross the road
That might be true, that is not an excuse to vote for wickedness, I don't mean sin, there is a difference, one party is anti-God and just me saying that you know who that is.
That's true. We have the responsibility to vote. But we always have to remember that God is in control. Whatever happens, it will serve His ultimate purpose. Nice comment!
Even in North Korea and Cuba.
Must be a Calvinist or someone who has been influenced by their thinking. God gave us free will to choose and we will have to live with it. God will make his overall plan work no matter what we decide.
