Welcome~May I ask you one question? What's good in the Democratic party? I cannot think of one thing?
Interesting! First hello back Red. I did not realize this was a Political site, I though it was about Jesus and Christianity. Oh well. So let us look at your question as a Christian (one who is Christ like). Jesus went about doing good. He cared about the poor, the fatherless, and the widows. He was concerned for feeding the poor, and strove all His days to set the oppressed free. He offered healing to all that would come seeking it for free. Finally,(though there is much more, He LOVED (a way of treating people not an emotion) His neighbor as Himself and commands us to also do this, and the weapons of His warfare were never carnal.
So I do not adhere to either of the two professional political parties (both being corrupt machines seeking wealth, power and control)but I do follow Jesus. When I vote (and I have voted multiple ways) (I vote for whoever I believe will most likely best promote these goals. I do know this however and that is when I look at history I clearly see that when a Church is legislatively imposed (post-Constantine Rom. middle ages Roman Catholicism, Geneva while Calvin was alive, the Church of England in the 16th through 18th century, and more) tyranny, oppression, and inequity follows and oppression ensues.
Now YOU can select to be whoever you want in this world and follow, or worship what ever arms of flesh that you will, but I recommend you be Christ-like (the meaning of Christian) because there are many who think they are or claim to be but they are not. The selg glorifyers of Matthew 7 are told "I never knew you" by our Lord Himself and in Matthew 26:1-13 we hear about those in the Church (the bridaal chamber awiting His return) doing all the churchianity stuff, that He did not know. They did not have HIS Spirit (Romans 8:9). Maybe they said some magic sinners prayer words or were given a bath but they never trimmed their wicks to be able to give true light and they lacked the inner oil necessary to empower or provide that light. Point being many who claim to be CHRISTIAN are NOT (caps not for emotionalism just emphasis)
So I CAN name a few good things the Repubs have done, or a few hood things that the Dems have done, but I will follow Jesus and strive to defend HIS perspective.
So may the God f glory as the Holy Spirit lead you and guide you into all truth and shape and transform you (us all) into the image of His dear Son.
In His love
Paul
