Satan is a democrat.
Yes.
Should a Christian be a Democrat? No.
Some Christians are very naive; some are very stupid; some are very young.
We must differentiate between judging, as in evaluating (discerning), and judging, as in condemning.
Only God truly knows the heart, and only He can condemn.
As a lifelong conservative who has openly, categorically, stated that a Christian who supports abortion is sinning by supporting murder, and that an abortion due to rape is likewise, and no less, murder, I do not take these things lightly.
I lost the approval of more than one prospective wife in the church when I was in youth ministry because of my public, absolute opposition to abortion, including the popular exceptions on account of rape or endangerment of the mother’s life. I ended up alone and celibate. I paid the price for my witness.
This rhetorical question is dangerous: It is exactly the sort of question the NeverTrumpers have asked: Can a Christian vote for Donald Trump?
Could a Christian circa 1865 be a Democrat?
These are dangerous waters.
No.
Democrats worship the killing of babies.
Democrats promote sexual perversion uniformly condemned by God. You cannot run as a Democrat in my state unless you affirm you will support homosexuality and transgenderism as set forth in their platform.
Democrats say they will persecute Christians if they are elected. (E.g., Hillary at the 2015 World Women’s Conference.)
Democrats publicly rejected God in their 2012 national convention and thereby are now controlled by Satan.

Episcopalians are not Christian. They worship the “New Spirit” of homosexuality. Some Methodists may still be.
Only if they repent of their ways.
“Can a Methodist or an Episcopalian be Christian?” then, certainly, a Democrat can be a Christian.”
A lot of people attend church, and not always as a Christian. Many are led to believe they can absolve, themselves of sin every week on Sunday morning and start a fresh slate on Monday. How many Mondays do they get for the same sin until they are using God as a scapegoat? And that more than borders on blastphemy
“Mark 3:28-30: “Truly I tell you, all sins and blasphemes will be forgiven for the sons of men. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, but is guilty of an eternal sin.”
Can one in this category be considered a Christian? They can attend church and try to seem so. But not supporting the religion you profess at the church you attend doesn’t make it there either.

Sounds like it depends on what your definition of a democrat is is.
In my opinion a democrat cannot be a Christian if they support the plank in their platform that calls for abortion.
Excellent find! Thank you.
I would say that the Rats are in the vote-accumulating, socialist-pushing phase now, so they are happy to feed the loafers.
However, when the Communist phase is reached, that’s when the knives come out and the ruthlessness is displayed, as in the USSR constitution.
The answer is no. Same holds to a Republican, American, etc. You either put Christ 1st above all things on earth, or you aren’t squat!
Many were Christians
No.
Point to a single Democrat who manifests these fruits of the spirit. Many Democrat can CALL themselves Christian, it does not make it so
Galatians 5:22-23 New International Version (NIV)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Not if they are fully aware of all that being a “good” Democrat involves. There are always the clueless, who only know what they’ve heard from the propagandists.
A Democrat can BECOME a Christian, but can’t remain a Democrat.
Can a Christian approve of baby-killing, homosexual unions being equated with marriage, and taking from the productive to give to the indigent? Those are the core beliefs of the RAT party.
