This is a request for information, it is meant in total and perfect honesty and I would really like to know what some people have to say. Believe it or not I do have some Christian friends who are Democrats. (Please note that I did not put the word Christian in quotation marks) Their Christianity is not in question. I know that they know Jesus as their savior. Here's my question...How can a Christian support the political party that is in favor of the murder of unborn children, gay marriage and the "redistribution of wealth"? Above and beyond anything else, the Democratic party has been the party that has done more to support the things that harm our culture (particularly our families) than any other organization.
If a Christian says he chose to vote Democrat because of the economy, is he/she saying that having enough money in their own wallet is more important to them than the lives of the unborn??? Proverbs 6:16-19 lists the things that God hates as "haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run rapidly to evil, a false witness who utters lies, and one who spreads strife among brother." A bad economy doesn't make it onto the list.
If a Christian says he voted Democrat because of the war in Iraq is he/she saying that the freedom of other people in the world is not as important as that of Americans?
If a Christian says he voted Democrat because he believes in the redistribution of wealth is he/she saying that he disagrees with the Apostle Paul who said "For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either. For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all" 2 Thes. 3:10-11 and instead supports socialism?
If a Christian says he voted Democrat because he believes that homosexual partners should have the same right to marry as heterosexuals, is he/she saying that he does not believe in the Biblical definition of marriage from Genesis "For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh." Genesis 2:24.
I am honestly interested in how Christians can bring themselves to support the Democratic party.

Lorri, You make very good points. I had not heard such detailed information relating to Democratic views and the Bible.
Reassurance that I made the right Vote!
I agree with you, and thank you for posting your thoughts. I was having some real problems last night and this morning with this election, and I sent a message to my friend. We have known each other since we were five, and I grew up in her Dad's church. It is because of her that I came to know the Lord so many years ago, and I often go to her for clarity. What she wrote back to me this morning really helped me and maybe can help you.
Love you!

Not sure what to make of this election. You? I am also praying, I prayed that the right person for the job would be elected, so now I am praying that I have clarity about this decision and trust that God knows better than we do. Do I make any sense? I am just so confused.
Anyhoooo, have a good day, I am going to try!
Luv ya!

What's the problem......I voted for Obama.......JUST KIDDING!!! LOL!
Here's the thing.....God DOES know better then us! I love it, I can rest totally secure in Him! Sometimes we can not see the full picture, but all throughout the Bible God used wicked people for His glory. I am not saying that Obama is wicked..........Our country has chosen to turn its back on God, I was not at all shocked by the results it is a true reflection of where we are as a nation. Sometimes we get the false sense that we can control situations, we can not. We had a responsibility yesterday and we did it, we prayed and we voted. God was not shocked by the results, He allowed it to happen. So now we do what God is asking us to do, pray for our leaders and be responsible before Him. Oh sweet Diane, do not be troubled. We live in troubled times but GOD STILL SITS ON HIS THRONE and He loves us VERY much and wants to tend to our hearts. There is a song out there that says, "sometimes He calms the storm, other times He calms His child" I love that! Nothing has changed, He loves us and His will be done. Rejoice today, you may be at peace!!!!
