Slice of Laodicea has a short article on "Christians" voting pro-abortion/pro-homosexual rights politicians, which says in part:
"Richard Cizik, VP for Governmental Affairs at the National Association of Evangelicals, appeared on the Fresh Air program on National Public Radio on Tuesday. When asked who he voted for in the election, Cizik announced he had voted for Barack Obama in the Virginia primary, and said that the vote should give some indication of how he voted in the general election. He went further and said that evangelicals could vote for a pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage politician even though they disagreed on those issues."
McCain, however, was hardly an improvement: he is pro-abortion in cases of rape or incest and is also pro-embryonic stell cell research.
Again I will ask my question: what makes a person a Christian or a Conservative--because they say they are or because their actions prove it?
What good is the label if one doesn't adhere to the principles?
Principles are not notions of convenience to be held when things are good and left in the dust when things are more difficult. The point of Truth, of biblical doctrine, of principles, is to anchor us IN truth and to steer us to make the right and biblical decisions when we're in the middle of a difficult situation that would honor Christ Jesus.
Truth trumps all things, but more and more "evangelicals" wouldn't seem to know Truth if He stood before them even now. What a corrupt bunch of people wander this land under HIS name yet deny HIM and HIS Word. The leaders will be held particularly responsible. And you know if the leaders are this liberal, most of the people are too.
2Ti 3:1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.
2Ti 3:2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good,
2Ti 3:4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
2Ti 3:5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
2Ti 3:6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions,
2Ti 3:7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
