for you grammar police, I am aware the title in wrong in so many ways ;0)
As a Christian and a very very very political one at that, history teacher and Political Science major....I get more criticism for my "politicking" from Christians than any of my liberal acquaintences....
They call me mean because I criticize (sometimes pretty harshly) Obama and his minions. They say Christianity of about LOVE and they way I react is NOT what Jesus would do. I have of course come right back at them from every direction possible. I need some fresh responses... and perspectives before I lose my mind. I refuse to let them shut me up....and since I hold Freepers way up on the intelligence pedestal, I would cherish some fresh ideas on how to respond to them.
So......why should Christians be involved in politics? And any reference to scripture is certainly welcome!!
In other words...........H E L P!
How about Jesus didn’t have to deal with Obama?
IBTZ....sorry wrong forum.
Breaking news????
That's because they're liberals more than Christians.
I called myself proofreading that article.......grrrr...now I see so many errors.....figures....please forgive, I am exhausted as my 20 month old has not figured out that night time is for sleeping,.... :0(
Did those same "Christians" give George Bush their love?
one man, one vote. Are these libs saying because of who you are you do not have a say in how the country runs? Who is allowed free speech and who is not? In their eyes, apparently Muslims have freedom of religion and free speech but Christians do not. Labor unions have free speech but the businesses that employ them do not. See if they agree with some of these premises, and if so, I wouldn’t waste my time debating with these people because their are irrational or unintelligent.
LOL!
Fighting evil is the Christian thing to do.
Don't worry.
He will.
You should ask them if they think Jesus was mean when He threw the merchants out of the temple.
You might also ask them if they think Jesus was wrong when He said that homosexuals will not enter the Kingdom of heaven.
Then start quoting Jesus ANYTIME he spoke about “religion”.
1 — Remind them that Jesus MADE A LASH AND DROVE MONYCHANGERS FROM THE TEMPLE.
2 — My tagline is taken from Micah 6:8, which says: “He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”... Simply put, we are to DO justly, not “do mercy.”
3 — When did it become an expression of “love” and “mercy” to ‘tolerate’ injustice and evil? If that is truly the case then surly those that protest abortion are going against any “true” Christian expression.
Oh thats a good one.....
and I forgot the Vanity in the headline....I’m really sorry....I will go to freeper time out....
I was going for the IBTZ also. But I checked her sign-up date.
Carry on.
please don’t report me....and what is IBTZ???
Please don’t take offense to this, but A Christian Minister is in some ways, like being a politician.
You depend on the public for your support.
You succeed more by telling them what they want to hear.
You kiss a lot of babies.
You shake a lot of hands.
A couple of things come to mind: Love the sinner but hate the sin; Christianity is also about obedience to God's Word, not man's folly...
“How about Jesus didn’t have to deal with Obama?” No Jesus had to deal w/ Pilate, Herod and Chiaphus(sp?). They were MUCH worse!
