Evangelical christian question?

Question

Question to evangelical christians:

Are you a democrat or republican?

Please explain why you are either, and what you see in the candidate of your choice.

Answer 1

I am Christian and I think this.  I can vote Democratic which would be voting my pocketbook or vote, Republican and vote my morals.  This year I am voting McCain for his stance on off shore drilling and for no other reason.  I unlike most Christians am pro Choice.  Against abortions mind you, but I am pro choice.

Answer 2

As an evangelical Christian, I find that the ideology of the republican party is more consistent with the teachings of the Bible.

Answer 3

I will just say this. I don't vote my pocketbook. God is my provider. I vote on the issues - I vote for the moral candidate who believes and stands up for (for example), those who can't speak for themselves, and who supports Israel. Without the support of Israel, the USA will (according to the Bible) be in big trouble. God says He will bless those who bless Israel, and curse those who curse Israel. These are just two examples of things I look for in a candidate.

Answer 4

Truthseker, she probably doesn't know that this R&S goes around the world.  Not everyone does know.

As to the question:  They would be neither.  Jesus said to the Roman political officials that neither he, his Kingdom, nor his followers were a part of this world including its politics.  (John 18:36)  Many times Jews wanted to make him king.  He refused every time by leaving town.

The government we support is God's Kingdom.  It has our allegiance.  We are as Ambassadors, substituting for Christ, at least in the delegation.  (2Cor. 5:20; Eph. 6:20)  

So we would have no part in worldly politics.

Answer 5

I am a Republican.

I have many reasons, social and fiscal.  My interpretation of the US Constitution tends to define my political point of view, since it is our governing document.

I see McCain as a moderate.  I think he was chosen for this reason because of perceived differences between the so-called "religious right" and the fiscal conservatives.  He is seen as a compromise between extremes, and I think he is.

The Democratic party has been socially liberal my entire life, and I am over 40 (ugh).  It has never been moreso than now.

Answer 6

I'm British but from what I see of US politics it's getting like UK politics, the parties are merging on issues that really matter and they steel each other's ideas & follow what the public want, so it's all about personalities.

A person is only a Christian once they have received God's Spirit (evidenced by speaking in tongues).

Answer 7

I am a Christian....

I vote Republican more often because it lines up with my views in econmoics, abortion, marriage, etc.

But I am not stuck under the label of Republican... I will vote for whom I see as following God's principles and what is best for the country.

And you can vote as you like too, even if you see things differently than me, and I love that! I

That is what matters most to me, really.

Answer 8

Doesn't matter as I vote my conscience.

Answer 9

What makes you Americans think that the whole world is American?

Answer 10

I listen to the issues...pray..listen to speeches and interviews ,pray more ,learn where they stand faith wise and then chose .  Sorry I have never been either or but chose on what I have heard and learned about them. This year will take extra prayer!!

Answer 11

I'm neither and vote for the person who most closely resembles the best for All Americans and can relate to all, not just a few. Proverbs 9:17
