I do NOt believe it is physically nor intellectually possible for ANY to Honor and obey Scripture yet at the same
time support or defend Democratic Party politics.Where Scripture condemns certain identifiable acts as unacceptable to God-The Democrats offer these as acceptable and in need of protection and support. I would NOT belong to
ANY church whose membership is bound to Any political party-most clearly I could not belong to any church where
widesspread support of the Democratic Party politic is anticipated-for such militate against true Christianity.

Especially the gay activist "GLSEN FILES".

Snip:

"Kids Get Graphic Instruction In Homosexual Sex
State sponsored conference featured detailed sexual material

A Massachusetts Department of Education employee described the pleasures of homosexual sex to a group of high school students at a state-sponsored workshop on March 25, 2001 at Tufts...

"Fisting [forcing one’s entire hand into another person’s rectum or vagina] often gets a bad rap....[It’s] an experience of letting somebody into your body that you want to be that close and intimate with...[and] to put you into an exploratory mode."

Last year a mother from the western suburbs joined some other parents and went to the State House to appeal to the Governor’s office. She was becoming frantic. Her son at the local high school had been told by his musician friends how "cool" it was at the school’s Gay/Straight Alliance club meetings. She soon found out that the club had watched at least one R-rated video of two boys having a love affair. She discovered some provocative handouts in his room. He became detached, and she suspected that he was experimenting with homosexual relationships.

The principal would not look into it, nor would any other officials. It was suggested that maybe she was homophobic."

Disgusting. That is sex indoctrination, not "sex ed" as intended.

Is this what the term "Blackmail" refers to?

Just how "Christian" is a church that insists you support the party that supports abortion, for starters? One could go on and on about how contrary to Scripture the Democrat Party is.

Sounds like they have just given IRS exactly what they need to investigate them!

I see. The separation of church and state only applies to Republicans!

If the Church would kick him out for being a Republican, or bribe him to be a Democrat, he should leave the Church. Their priorities obviously are not where they should be.

Though I could understand wanting to stay in the short term to try to change the existant prejudice.

Blacks are finally realizing that the Democrat "slavery" Party will only continue to keep them in both economic and opportunity bondage.

My nephew is in his early 20's. He's been telling me for a couple of years that "his" generation of minorities, instead of being Hip-Hop Heads like they're often portrayed, are actually "nearly" as conservative as he is. They've bought into the "ownership" society that conservatism breeds because the racial stigmas of earlier generations are receding and as they've interacted more and more with folks outside of their minority race they've seen for themselves how the "hand out" programs of liberals are, in fact, simple attempts to shackle those hands instead of help them get ahead.

Smart guy, my nephew. And if he's right, us Pubbies are in for a cool ride.

It is virtually impossible for an active Democrat also to be a deacon or an elder at an Anglo conservative evangelical church. A session or board of deacons in such a situation would likely not be as upfront about dealing with a liberal officer, as black churches apparently have a de facto exemption from IRS regulations that deny tax-exempt status for churches engaging in politics. But such a deacon or elder would likely be shunned by the others and not reelected. My experience is that members of such churches of a liberal bent keep quiet about their politics. In Anglo conservative evangelical churches, you would have been hard pressed to find Kerry bumper stickers on the vehicles in the parking lot. However, Bush bumper stickers were quite frequent.

The alignment of politics with religious beliefs is a two way street.

informed the host that church leaders had summoned him to a meeting after getting word of his plans. During that interview, he also said he had been “promised a top leadership role” in the church if he remained a Democrat.

Can you say "removal of tax exemption?" I.R.S. please pick up the white courtesy phone!

Yikes! Children are too precious to be entrusted to people such as these "educators". I'm going to sound ancient, but I remember when the purpose of getting a good education was for learning: learning how to read, write, communicate, calculate, and THINK. Whatever happened to that (I mean other than the NEA, of course)?

Now this is what our founding fathers meant when they talked about separation of church and state. To think one would be ex-communicated for his political beliefs, as long as they don't contradict church teachings, is outrageous. This is one case the ACLU won't touch, but maybe Jay Sekulow's organization might be interested.

More proof that, for Liberals, politics is their religion.

This is slavery and threats from the masters.

All minorities should be outraged by this.

All whites should be outraged.

Every person in this nation should be outraged by this.

Anybody tired of living on the plantation should tell these creeps to go take a hike and to wake up before they die a slave.

They can ex him if they want. He should start another church. He needs to get out of there. This showed their true colors.
