      Well spoken: the Scriptures speak again and again against making "unholy alliances" with evil and immoral people. Many so-called "Christians" have completely ignored this basic principle (as in 2 Cor 6: 14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[b]? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?.

    I'm a Christian, a Brit, living in Canada, and frequently embarrassed by what I see on news reports about American "christians". I also have some good friends south of the border who self-identify as Evangelical but who act very differently to how I believe Christ would have done - including their voting choices and their actions towards people they identify as "sinners". There is something very wrong in all this. The Church should stand apart from political arguments, and should only give a moral leadership. No-one in the Church should ever give support to a particular candidate or a particular Party, and should certainly never "endorse" one. I fully agree with this video's evaluation of the current situation, and I grieve for how America is distorting the good news that Jesus brought us, of inclusive acceptance and forgiveness.

    Very few true Christians attend churches. They meet in homes, hospitals, jails, and shelters. They understand the growing hate within the media and within the buildings called churches. True worship and discipleship involves going out into the world and helping the poor, the sick, the hungry, the shut ins, those in jail, gay, straight, unsure, homeless, needy, in other words.....All of humanity. This is what a true believer does. They serve.

      that is a seriously good question that deserves an answer. May be you should ask God about that if you get a chance. My thoughts are that Christians are not perfect (often very far from it) , they are forgiven and ought to be trying every day to be as good as they can. But people are different, we have different personalities, different tastes and preferences, different circumstances... so it would be quite strange if we suddenly became like clones when we become Christians. God takes a very wide view of the whole world over thousands of years and from His perspective I suspect a lot of the things we say and do are like fleas on an elephant. Sadly there have always been evil and corrupt men who use religion to get what they want, and fools who are led astray, please don't mistake them for the majority.

      If only they understood their Bibles _(Canon brought to them by the Church they left behind),_ and had sufficient knowledge of the Church Fathers' legacy and writings... they would understand the importance of coming Home, and how they put their salvation at risk by denying the fullness of the Truth brought to them through what we call *"the Pillar and Foundation of the Truth".*

      Albert Esteva following your logic, a bunch of thinking cells can be killed, since they’re only a mass of electrons and protons reacting together. Where do you find morality in that. The fact that religion gave importance to life and death (seen early with many hunter-gatherers) people started to give ethics to what they do. So basically religion is needed to satisfy one’s existential needs and to be the moral compass of society.

    The Catholic Church's stance on religion and politics from Dignitatis Humanae:
    "This Vatican Council declares that the human person has a right to religious freedom. This freedom means that all men are to be immune from coercion on the part of individuals or of social groups and of any human power, in such wise that no one is to be forced to act in a manner contrary to his own beliefs, whether privately or publicly, whether alone or in association with others, within due limits.
    The council further declares that the right to religious freedom has its foundation in the very dignity of the human person as this dignity is known through the revealed word of God and by reason itself. This right of the human person to religious freedom is to be recognized in the constitutional law whereby society is governed and thus it is to become a civil right."
    So essentially, Politics are not to be infused with religion. Here is a link to the entire writing:

    What it takes is a total loss of reason. As I've said many times in my own episodes to my subs---It really comes down to the vast majority of Christians who have never read their own bible let alone researched its claims as well as fact checked the claims of the apologists. Because if you do research and fact check Strobel, Craig, McDowell and the rest of them, you'll find they aren't offering evidence for a resurrection like they claim but only speculation, usually bad speculation. Or they take one fact (IE we conclude Pilate existed) and create another to fit their worldview (IE Pilate existing proves the bible and Christ rose from the dead). Once you've been doing this for awhile, fact checking apologists, you start to see the same patterns and fallacies over and over. Hence why I am now more of an unspecified theist, close to a Jew at best. Cheers, DCF

    I think I have yet to see any religion represented with an entirely balanced or complete view. Part of the problem is that, as noted, people are free to identify with any religion they want, whether or not their participation matches that of other followers. Of course, news media tend to go for whatever perspective best serves their viewership goals. This is how we get -Islam=radical jihadists- -Mormons=polygamy cult- and -Evangelical Christian= overzealous, super conservative, white republican- even when the examples brought out to support these tropes don't represent an accurate cross section of all those people who identify with a particular belief system.

      We vote with what we feel god is telling us, so are you saying god tells some people to vote for trump, and some people to vote for hillary, it would make sense that he tells every to vote for the same person, and if he does exist im sure he had better things to worry about than an american election.

      Princess Fluffybottom Princess Fluffybottom Not going to get into a flame war with you mate. But I would advice you to read you Bible a bit better. Gal 3:28
      1)The verse Gal 3:28 is saying there is no male or female in God's new covernant. God sees male and female the same in that they are entitled to the the same love and Mercy and promises God has for us. Of course biologically there not the same no fool is saying that and they all have different roles to play in his kingdom. Just that in Christianity new covernant there is no preference no special treatment just an out streched arm for everybody.
      2) If God is telling you and you have prayed about it and read God's word and he is saying trump then go for it won't be my vote but I'm not silly enough to question God's plan or what he has in store because my small brain and philiosophy says otherwise
      3) In the old testament the Jews were told to kill gentiles as judgement for there evil (also commanded it vice versa for gentiles on Jews when they messed up) cos he hates wrong in the new testament we enter a period of Mercy and Grace where God is patient and calls all men to turn from evil before it to late. Jesus specifically says those who "kill by the sword die by the sword" to Peter who was defending him. As in this verse there is no Jew or Gentiles in God's new covernant with humanity just an outstretched arm of forgiveness for everybody. There is no Jew or Gentiles everybody can come to God and receive freedom and hope and a new start.
      Hope I answered your questions. It was hella long winded but God bless and may you have a blessed day. Much love

      1) Yes but in God's eyes he doesn't care what your biology is just where your heart is not more liberal that that.
      2) You pray ask God to tell you and he will say. People will listen some won't some won't hear cos don't want to or to busy some disobey, some he will tell to go a certain way to move diff parts of soceity on diff paths (1 see liberal side to life or conservative one) or shift a a person's view or teach them a lesson or reinforce something when they vote a certain way. Many reasons I can't begin to claim to know them all.
      3) That's exactly what I have been saying there is no Jew nor Gentile no race colour creed title wealth gender just equality in God's Family.

If you're called to be a ministry it's good to have connections but when you actually do believe the Bible and confront churches with the Bible and quote Christians with the Bible and yes I'm believer for sure in Jesus and God and that he is three and one just like we are three in one mind body and soul right but if you separate any of those you're not going to have a working human being and it really is sad that it is supposed to be good news for everyone especially we're supposed to take care of people that it's not their fault that they can't take care of their self I'm not talking about people that should be doing what they can in order to take care of themselves and they don't and they just live off of other people I'm talking people that are actually trying and getting zero support or put down for it that's just my opinion.... If there's anyone that's interested I have awesome stuff that I get from different resources yes some Churches some sermons but when it's broken down and it lines up with the Bible and the lines up with the Hebrew and it lines up with the Greek and it lines up historically in regular history as well as biblical history...

God can only be one, exalted above all other things, having no partners in association. One who does not get tired, and surely does not die. God can forgive creation without having to kill himself or his son. And God has no sons!

      Muslim & many christian's do not understand this also. So listen to be the real All Knowledge God must be a God that has to make all things to exist. So HE must be a God that has to make away to do it 1st that takes His All Knowledge that can GO be God to make all things made. And the only God that this was the God in bible who made "His Word Was God". For means when God speck His Word becomes the traveling God called Jesus that takes His All Knowledge to GO be God to do, be & make all things made God said. He is the God that made mankind in the same. For example your word is YOU because it comes from YOU that takes your knowledge level to go get things done & made YOU said. So YOU & your word is of 2 but are 1 YOU. God & His Word Jesus 2 but are 1 who is GOD. So for to be real God is to make all things made with His Word. For why you read in bible over & over "And God said", "And God said". Now In Genesis we need to understand God is not talking of He made all & earth in 1 to 6 days & was trier on 7 day. God is teaching mankind how to measure (what a day is) & a day is called 1 day & 1 becomes our 1st number. Next is 2 days & 2 becomes our 2nd number then 3,4,5,6,7 days. Now mankind can count things & days & measure time in name number order 1 to 7 days so tells mankind HIS-Story chronologically what things God made in 1 to 6 days mankind can measure time by. Teaching mankind a day give man number more days more numbers shall math comes to man. The 7th day god rested means God started mankind days & numbers & math by teaching mankind what a a day. So God is not talking about He made things & earth in 1 to 7 days so know also Evolution was God made for took billions of yrs to form earth. And know any god that is without The Word as Allah "nothing was made by him".

    The principals of the faith should be above any political party.
