Can a Good Christian Be a Good Liberal?

[WowwGirl]

[bamesjond0069]

No. The Bible clearly states conservative values. If you ignore the Bible you cannot know Jesus. If you don't know Jesus you cannot be Christian.

[WowwGirl]

I said same

[zagor]

Really? "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven". "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's...".

[bamesjond0069]

@zagor What does rich have to do with conservative values? Are you not aware of hollywood movie stars for example?

[WowwGirl]

They think we are all Rich/greedy

[OddBeMe]

Not really. The right worships Christian’s and thus they flock to that side.

[WowwGirl]

Honest

[BCRanger10]

That depends. My answer is pretty complicated and probably can't receive the proper treatment here and would probably require a whole MyTake. However, I'll still give it a shot.

First, which Christians are you asking about? To the best of my knowledge, there are around 40,000 different denominations of Christianity. All of them claim to follow Jesus Christ and the Bible, despite their differences in belief and theology. Therefore, they can't all be true. As for me, I'll argue this from the Catholic perspective, since the Catholic Church is the only one that goes directly back to Christ.

That said, it's important to begin by noting that objectively speaking, a Catholic cannot be in favor of abortion, homosexuality, same-sex marriage, transgenderism, and no, not even racism or slavery and still be in good standing.

On some matters, there can be reasonable disagreements with each other in good faith. We might disagree on, say, how much of a role the government and law should have in certain situations; the Church holds to what is called the principle of subsidiarity, which means that problems should be solved at the lowest possible level. We might disagree on how best to handle issues like poverty and immigration. We could disagree on how to best to address LGBT matters. In fact, even things like the death penalty and war aren't so cut-and-dry in the eyes of the Church.

Now, if by "good liberal", you mean being pro-choice, pro-LGBT, and so forth, that ultimately depends on which church someone belongs to. But again, with 40,000 different options to choose from (which is not at all a good thing), the waters get murky.

[npiatanas]

No. Modern Western liberalism is in many ways in stark contrast to what Christianity teaches. For example -
Liberals say abortion is OK and should be allowed. For Christianity, abortion is an evil, like murder.
Liberals say homosexuality must be accepted and gay marriage legal. Christianity says that homosexuality is a sin that society must fight against.
Liberals say that marriage is not so important, people can live together without marriage if they want. Christianity says that any sexual intercourse outside of marriage is undesirable.
Liberals say that women should be equal to men in every aspect of society, work on an equal footing with men, be independent and pursue a career. Christianity says that the role of women is to be mothers, and they must obey their husbands.
Of course, this does not mean that conservatives are necessarily good Christians - there are many things on which conservatives are also at odds with Christianity. In general, both sides believe in values ​​that are largely at odds with faith. But liberals are definitely much worse off in that regard.

[RolandCuthbert]

I think some folks here are going to be really surprised when they finally meet Christ and finds out He doesn't support their politics.

[WowwGirl]

🤗..

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

The question isn't phrase right. It's can a liberal be a good Christian and the answer is yes.

There are millions of Christians who are liberal around the world and many are good and decent people who love God, go to church weekly and read their Bibles.

You Americans think or have been educated and brainwashed through the school system and media that all liberals and conservatives think the same or have the same values which they don't depending the region of the world they are from.

American conservatives are totally different from Saudi Arabia conservatives in terms of values and social perspectives and the same for liberals.

A traditional liberal in latin America isn't the same in values as the typical curren American liberal that believes in abortion and gay marriage or supports LGBT.

[t-8900]

Depends. You can't be in favor of abortion and be a Christian. that's not how it works. Nor can you believe in no fault divorce or divorce at all unless the other person cheated. Nor can you participate in LGBT anything. So you have to ask yourself what you believe.

[t-8900]

[ZackBan]

Well it's not that simple.

Because while most liberals enjoy rewriting history to fit their ideals the bible is not that flexible.

The most basic concept is homosexuality, the bible is clear on it being a sin and any good Christian cannot partake in it let alone accept it in society.

So to be both it's not so simple. Perhaps a person who is sympathetic to liberal ideas vut isn't completely an extreme leftist could still be a good Christian but even then they'd be on pretty thin ice far as sins go.

[Not_Average]

There are some Christian values setup with the democratic agenda just as there there are values that aren’t. Same goes for the Republican Party. The Bible instructs is of love and forgiveness within the New Testament, yet conservatives favor capital punishment. The Bible instructs us to value all of gods creations, yet democrats favor abortion. God is the almighty of our laws, not politicians. I don’t think Jesus Christ was a Republican or Democrat. Pharisees and gentiles all thought Jesus came to save them of the Roman Empire. He had much bigger plans. The church is all too divided right now. We’re letting politics get in the way of our faith and fellowship

[Exterminatore]

Considering abortion, homosexuality, transvestitism, transgenderism, eroding national sovereignty in favor of no nations, intentional failure of local governments to punish criminals, allowing nationwide riots and failing to suppress them intentionally, handouts for the lazy, and the push to remove the name of God from our currency and public buildings…. no. In fact anyone who supports any of these things allies themselves against God and is not only not a good Christian but is no Christian at all. One cannot claim Christ and stand in defiant opposition to even 1 of his decrees and still claim to be Christ’s servant while working against Christ’s decrees.

[DJB72]

I'm a Christian. In the past 2 years I've been called a communist AND a fascist. For the the same comment.

I used to describe myself as a "conservative" Christian, but the term now conjures images of "Maga" crackpots so I don't use it now. I considered the term "liberal" Christian, but that throws up images of the far Left these days, and they're as far removed from Christ as the far Right are.

So I'll just say I'm a Christian. Don't judge my label, get to know me personally and look at my fruit.

[legalboxers]

what the actual? shouldn't this go both ways? a Good Christian and a Good CONservative? Lets delve shall we..

Lets examine a few.. Thou Shalt not Kill. Okay you commit a murder (REGARDLESS OF COLOR AND POLITICAL PARTY) But... Lets go FURTHER. Who loves hunting deer...

Thou Shalt not Commit Adultery.. Again. to echo someone.. BOTH SIDES ARE TO BE BLAMED...

Thou Shalt Not Bare False Witness Against Thy Neighbor. Election Fraud.. When THERE WAS NOT ANY!!!

Thou Shalt Not covet thy neighbors house. How many things do you people BORROW but NEVER RETURN.. Weed Wacker. Shovel. Eggs.. Milk..

[Anpu23]

Yes,
Christ spoke about feeding the poor, healing the sick, having compassion, He was anti-capitalist and spoke against following rules blindly. He also taught pacifism.
Most of these are liberal values.

[EnglishEuropean]

He also threw the money lenders out of the temple.

[msc545]

@EnglishEuropean He did all of that and more. These are most certainly not consistent with conservative values if conservatives actually have any values.

[normalice]

You can't really be christ-like and conservative. But you also can't believe in magic and be liberal. So you have to be somewhere in the middle. Or you could just go the path most traveled which is the hypocrisy route: that is, forget about actually being christ-like and just say you are, because the subjective opinions of other people have great deal more impact on your life than the objective judgement of your god.

[Citizenkirk]

Can a good Christian exist without being considered an oxymoron in concept and conceptual meaning🥊?
You feel good people I know who called themselves Christians I believe are good in spite of their religious beliefs rather than because of them. I don't think I'll ever get on board with the whole idea about scaring people and intimidating them into being good people by treating them like crap threatening to do more bad things to him

[VanillaSalt]

Of course. As a Christian you understand God gave you free will to make your own choices just like liberals want… but God will hold you accountable for these choices as well.


Not a religious man but that’s my thought anyway.

[AlexanderAnttila]

As a Christian myself I'd have to hear more precisely what they agree on with the Liberal side and not. The Bible teaches that some things are unnecessary to quarrel over, smaller or minor differences in practices or beliefs like what days are held sacred and such, if it is done for God's glory. And some things are not up to individual people but are universal truths, like what is sin and not.

[Lionman95]

I don´t think that´s possible because as a Christian I´d say I can´t be good because only God is good.
Nothing I do that is good makes me good, it´s just something good I did.

[EnglishEuropean]

A good Christian can be a good liberal but they can't be a good conservative because no such thing exists.

Ted Cuz: Conservative scum

[cth96190]

Clearly, you have not studied the Bible.
Here are a few points on which the Bible and ‘liberalism’ are at odds.
1. Abortion. Under the law of Moses abortion was murder and the death penalty was mandated.
2. Homosexuality. Under the law of Moses homosexuality was described as “detestable” and the death penalty was mandated. Under the Christian dispensation homosexuality was listed as a sin for which people would burn in Hell.
3. Transgenderism. Under the law of Moses and in the Christian dispensation it was prohibited for men to wear female clothing and for women to wear male clothing.
There is a shopping list of points of ‘liberal’ ideology that are prohibited by the scriptures.

[EnglishEuropean]

@cth96190 That is cherry picking.

[Exterminatore]

@english

What does cherry picking have to do with anything?

Since when can Christ command one thing and his servant contradict him and still be his servant?

Cth96190 is exactly correct. God condemns those things. There is no freedom in Christ that would allow condoning and supporting what he has condemned and if you think otherwise you’re fooling yourself. Sin, even just 1 is rebellion and sets one in opposition to Jesus.

There’s no cherry picking going on. Nothing is out of context. Scripture condemns the things he listed straightforwardly.

If you say he’s wrong and cherry picking then explain yourself.

In fact it would be a sign of being born again to be obedient to Christ. Partial obedience is still disobedience.

[WowwGirl]

@Exterminatore yupp

[EnglishEuropean]

@Exterminatore You're right, I was being a douchebag. I should have responded in the form of scripture but I was too lazy.

Matthew 7:3-5
New International Version
"3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."

[Exterminatore]

@english

This scripture is a warning against hypocrisy. Jesus is saying: “why are you calling someone out on their sins when you’re guilty of the same thing?” It’s not good enough to talk the talk we must walk the walk. Jesus is saying: “get yourself straightened out before you try to straighten out someone else.” It’s not good enough to know what sin is and identify it in others, we must first identify it and purge it from ourselves. Ultimately every individual will stand before Christ.

This scripture in no way eliminates what the others say about homosexuality and abortion and the myriad of other things scripture identifies as sin that the left promotes.

In regards to homosexuality scripture says this:

“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6:9-10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

That is by no means a complete list of sins that will keep a person from heaven. These are lifestyle choices. People who deliberately and willfully chose to preform these actions as a way of life and do not repent won’t go to heaven. If you notice homosexuality is listed there. The sexually immoral is also listed. That could be translated fornicators. In other words people who habitually engage in sex out side of marriage, straight or gay.

Other scriptures against homosexuality:

“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”
‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭18:22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭1:27‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[Exterminatore]

@english

“If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.”
‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭20:13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Here scripture identifies transvestitism as sin:

““A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭22:5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Here scripture identifies transgenderism as sin:

““No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭23:1‬ ‭

Crushing the testicles with stones and cutting the penis off were the ancient ways of preforming sex change operations.

Here is an excellent explanation of what scripture says about abortion. You’ll find numerous scriptures contained within this article.

https://www.gotquestions.org/abortion-Bible.html

In regards to your claims of cherry picking and the scripture you shared, we can’t have different scriptures contradicting each other. If so, they cancel each other out. So we must examine prior incidents of a command in scripture for president. We must look at a scripture within the context of where we find it.

Respectfully, what you are doing is cherry picking. You’re taking a scripture not meant to mean what your using it for and applying it incorrectly. The scripture you shared came right on the heals of this command and I’m surprised you didn’t include it:

““Judge not, that you be not judged.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:1‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Jesus meaning hear a number of things concerning the word judge. First and foremost in regards to the final judgement. God knows the hearts and minds, he knows the motives and intentions we have. It is God who will judge and pass judgement. Our place is not to judge who goes on to eternal life and not. God has given signs as to who is saved and not. The born again will manifest what is called the fruit of repentance in their life.

[Exterminatore]

@english

The unrighteous will not manifest this fruit. We are to be fruit inspectors. That said it is God alone who judges, and for us to judge is putting ourself on God’s throne. Calling sin, sin, proclaiming the gospel, calling righteousness, righteousness: these things are not judging. Jesus is also warning about a prideful and critical attitude that is expert in fault finding. We are to be discerning. We are not to be judgmental.

[EnglishEuropean]

@Exterminatore Okay but not all liberals are gays or transvestites.

[Exterminatore]

@english

That’s true. However if God is clearly against transvestitism and homosexuality, and you’re a Christian, how can you support a political party or movement that promotes what God condemns? Those things are not the only issues with liberalism promoting things scripture condemns.

Liberalism promotes abortion. It promotes the idea of eroding national sovereignty and mixing all the peoples of the earth into one instead of having separate nations as God decreed. Liberalism does not promote punishing criminals but rather having no bail, or paying criminals nominal amounts to not be criminals. Since when should people be paid to not commit crime? That’s the purpose of punishment. To deter crime. God created government for man’s benefit, mostly because government in most cases limits human evil by catching and punishing wrong doers. Government, generally speaking, maintains order. Scripture is replete with the concept of being punished for wrong doing. Is it right to loot and then not make restitution on the theft? No, and government ought to punish thrives. Liberalism promotes welfare for the lazy. Why there are generations of people in the same family on welfare? These are not all people who due to some birth defect or injury can’t work, but rather won’t. Scripture says this about the matter:

“For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.”
‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3:10‬ ‭ESV

Work is a divine principal. Scripture commands everyone to submit to the governing authorities. Illegal immigration is the opposite of that. We have laws against illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is not submitting to the law and the authorities who made it. Also what fairness is it to require me to pay taxes, then give that tax money to foreign nationals who’ve entered the country illegally? Law breakers are being rewarded with our tax money. The Democrat party in America is openly anti god.

[Exterminatore]

@english

The Democrat Party even ended a joint prayer in Congress in Jan with Awoman intentionally. Not only is that silly, it’s vile.

So I ask you, how if Jesus is ones LORD and savior can one be liberal? If Christ is your lord how can you support what he rejects. You’re going against your lord to do so. One cannot have Jesus as only savior. He must be both lord and savior. One obeys their lord don’t they. Can’t claim allegiance to your lord then vote against his interests right?

[abc3643]

Yes. Ask Jesus - the original social justice warrior.
A real Christian IS a liberal because that's what Christianity is about: Looking out for each other, loving your neighbor etc...

[Nomina]

On the surface that sounds reasonable. Then you get into the details of what Jesus taught. Of keeping the 10 commandments, and not to sin against God and your neighbor. In order to do that, you have to read the bible and know what those sins are.
It's loving your neighbor in accordance with what God says loving your neighbor is.. not our own interpretation of it. For example, homosexuality is a sin in Christianity. It says so in the bible. But in liberal views, it isn't. That would be a contradiction.

[PikNik77]

@Nomina exactly.

[WowwGirl]

@Nomina yess

[DaveToo]

@Nomina First you speak about what Jesus would do or say, and in the next comment you bring up the Old Testament using the Ten Commandments, presented by Moses. But what exactly did JESUS have to say about it?
In the New Testament (NT), there are at least three passages that refer to homosexual activity: Romans 1:26–27, 1 Corinthians 6:9–10, and 1 Timothy 1:9–10. A fourth passage, Jude 1:7, is often interpreted as referring to homosexuality. Jesus discusses marriage only in a heterosexual context when he cites the Book of Genesis during a discussion of marriage (Matthew 19:4–6 and Mark 10:6–9).

The references to homosexuality itself in the New Testament hinge on the interpretation of three specific Greek words: arsenokoitēs (ἀρσενοκοίτης), malakos (μαλακός), and porneia (πορνεία) and its cognates.[1][2] While it is not disputed that the three Greek words apply to sexual relations between men (and possibly between women), some academics interpret the relevant passages as a prohibition against pederasty or prostitution rather than homosexuality per se, while some scholars hold the historical position that these passages forbid all same-sex sexual acts and relationships.

But you see, Jesus didn't condemn the actions of homosexuals. He spoke of relations between men and women but not a man on man or woman on woman. the other passages were penned by men.

[Nomina]

@DaveToo Jesus himself said to follow his father's commandments. He talks about having kept his father's commandments, himself and teaches others to follow him. So in following him, you follow his father's commandments.

That Romans passage speaks about unnatural relations and degrading passions. Which would not be permissible. In the Corinthians passage, it says: "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders, nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." No sin enters the kingdom of God.

There may be few passages about it, but the passages are clear.

But, y'know... the academics said.. so, of course, they're right.

[WowwGirl]

@DaveToo Christians go by both sometimes

[Gwenhwyfar]

I think so but technically the Christian mandate to honor God and Christ first in all things conflicts with the liberal mandate to not do that

[vislavath]

Right

[EnglishEuropean]

Jesus also said "Cast not your pearls before swine."

[Gwenhwyfar]

@EnglishEuropean he did

[dray995]

No. Liberalism contradicts the Bible and Christianity.

[Juven]

You can be anything you choose to receive. And whatever it is, it will always be obliterated by political schemes and conceptions and may create drawbacks for you in the end. A waste of time.

So—it is only reasonable to expect yourself to understand your life as it goes on rather than what you've heard, read, or watched, consuming from today's technology systematic.

Or—you really don't have to be any of it. That's the reality of it.

@gag2021 Yep!

[HighValue]

No. Liberal morals frequently conflict with Christian morals.

[Nomina]

Hmm. I don't think so. But I would need more detail. Do you mean philosophically liberal? Or left?

What do you mean by "liberal"?

[WowwGirl]

Left

[Nomina]

In that case, no. Too many of the policies aren't christian. As I see it, it would be like a psychological separation of church and state.

Now, philosophically liberal, I think is possible.

[WowwGirl]

Good answer thank you

[pleasestopthis]

Several liberal values are totally contradictory to christian values, so my answer would be no. Unless you're only accepting of some values and not all of them, you can't be a faithful christian.

[WowwGirl]

I agree dear

[DaveToo]

That question is loaded with possible misinterpretations. A "good Christian" should actually follow the teachings and actions of Jesus. That means, being a "good Christian" is what a liberal lives their life by.

[RealMarek]

The idea that American politics left, right, or center has anything to do with Christianity is a delusion.

[msc545]

good point

[MrKinktastic]

Given that Jesus was an anarchocommunist I think we can safely say yes.

[cth96190]

No, because the Bible teaches the opposite os what is called ‘liberal’.
It is not possible to be a Christian and be a Democrat, or worse.

[msc545]

In what way is it not possible?

[cth96190]

@msc545
See my response to EnglishEuropean (below).
Major points of ‘liberal’ ideology are Hell-worthy sins.

[msc545]

2 of your 3 examples are from the old testament.

[WowwGirl]

@msc545 many of us use both testaments.

[msc545]

If this is about Jesus, then you need to use the New Testament

[msc545]

In any event this is a rather stupid discussion considering you're comparing liberalism to a book of fairy tales.

[Kingofkings1992]

A Christian liberal is a walking contradiction. Anyone who believes you can be both those things at the same time isn’t very smart.

[FinalFantasyBro]

Realistically it be kinda hard to balance both, I know supporting abortion go against what most christian stand. While being gay and Christian sounds off considering most Christian don't believe in lgbt activities or marriage.

[t-8900]

Well the Bible is explicit about when life starts so there's no compromise on the issue for Christians. You can be gay but you can't act on those impulses and be in gay relations. I guess get yourself toys maybe turn on some porn? Better than the actual act imho even if it is still a sin.

[FinalFantasyBro]

True! I don't technically read the bible so I literally don't know majority of it's rules but I heard that you can't technically have sex for fun if you are a Christian.

[t-8900]

you can but you have to be married first. otherwise you're not in Communion with God. You basically become a lukewarm Christian and cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.

[FinalFantasyBro]

You sure do know a lot about Christianity, are you Christan yourself?

[t-8900]

yeah but I would say i dont know a lot about it. I just know more than people that never popped opened a Bible. There's plenty of Chapters I've never read. Romans, Pslams, Corinthians, just to name a few I've never took the time to read. It's a lot to remember tbh.

[FinalFantasyBro]

Wait the Romans were Christan

[t-8900]

was that a question or statement?

[FinalFantasyBro]

Question

[t-8900]

you never heard of the ROMAN Catholic Church? lol Yeah they did eventually become officially Christian under Constantine The Great.

[gag2021]

In marriage, yes.

Many beliefs of liberalism are opposite of Christian teaching.

They should neither be overly liberal or overly conservative.

Proverbs 4:27. Do not turn to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

So call out both sides when they do evil. And reward both when they do good.

[ElizaPam]

Yes. Absolutely. Anyone can be Christian. God doesn’t involve politics, politics involve God.

[Delicious_cookies]

Jesus was a hippie, but maybe not as colourful as some liberals. He certainly didn't approve of abortions, homosexsuality and promiscuous behaviour.

[Wester1967]

Yea. See Dorothy Day, Phil and Dan Berrgan, and Father John Dear.

[genericname85]

Neither being a Christian, nor being liberal are pedicures for "being a good person" that is entirely independent of those things.

[lorenzomichael]

Yes, but can a liberal be a God fearing God living Christian? Yes.
