Any Christian who dabbles in politics at all, regardless of whether they agree with the "right" or the "left", or sit somewhere in the middle, is a "walking contradiction" because Christ specifically forbade becoming politically active. If you support abortion or the death penalty, you're not a Christian. If you favour immigration or oppose it, you're not a Christian. If you're "patriotic" (nationalistic) you're not a Christian. If you worship the flag or D. Trump you're not a Christian. "Our citizenship is in heaven", as Philippians says. And "render unto Caesar", so pay your tax and do it with a smile on your face and stop complaining!

Yes. You see the problem with people in the United States is they think the world revolves around the U. S. A. and it's philosophy and vaules.

There are around 193 countries in the world and all those countries have different values and cultures that have been around for much longer than the U. S. A which is only around 300 years old.

A liberal in the U. S. A isn't the same kind of liberal like one in Denmark or Iceland as they come from totally different cultures and vaules.

The Chinese are extremely conservative and traditional yet they hate organize religion especially christianity and Islam.

What a person can't do is disobey God's word as a lifestyle and claim to be a christian.

Being liberal or conservative political wise doesn't mean a person isn't a genuine christian.

Only fools who don't understand the world and different personalities say such stupidity.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

* meant to say no.

[Daniela1982]

Even Jesus hated organized religion, such as the Sadducees and Pharisees. They considered themselves pious and above all others. Jesus called them snakes and hypocrites. It doesn't take an Einstein to see what is going on in the world and consider it good. There is nothing wrong with speaking out against these things as they are ultimately speaking out against Satan, who is the real ruler of this world. He is the one in control of these vile people and will be behind the downfall of our country. I also point out that there is no mention of the US in the end times. The fact is the US is heading down the wrong road, and has only been blessed because we support the Jews. When that stops hold onto your hats. God said He will bless those who bless the Jews, and curse those who curse the Jews. Everything will revolve around Israel and the nations of the east - Russia, China, and the Middle East in the last days. If a person is not part of the solution of all the crap that is going on in the US, then they are part of the problem. They will be party to our downfall. Mark my words. With all these illegal people coming into our country it is only time before some type of terrorism takes place. 😔

@Daniela1982: Christianity is a religion. Practicing the religion the right way is what matters.

[Kingofkings1992]

@Hispanic-Cool-Guy nothing pertaining to religion matters

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Good for you.

[Daniela1982]

I'm talking about organized religion. Such as the false teacher Joel Osteen.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Perhaps but only cause they are stuck in confusion but to be fair no matter what political side you are on, the chances of being a contradiction is there depending on the choices made by the individual, spirituality and politics are two completely different things.

[Smashingdoozy]

Yes and no. Christianity has a lot of far right ideologies but people pick and choose what they wish to believe in and follow anyway.

[OlderAndWiser]

I know many liberal Christians who are very sincere in their beliefs.

[John_And_Elijah]

Same sex marriages, abortions, equality for men and women. That doesn't really line up with scripture.

[OtterMan68]

@John_And_Elijah helping the poor, blessing those who curse you, love your enemies... those are all things liberals believe in.
Read the Gospels. Read the words of Jesus Christ and ask who is following them, the cult of Trump or liberals

[John_And_Elijah]

@OtterMan68 Helping the poor? They've killed MILLIONS of the poor through vaccination.

[John_And_Elijah]

Love your enemies? They spread hatred through the media all the time. Putting blacks against whites, whites against blacks.

[OtterMan68]

@John_And_Elijah True story: At a prayer breakfast during the Trump adminsitration, the guest pastor said "Raise your hand if you love someone who hates you." Everyone in the room raised their hand... except Trump. Later, Trump spoke and said he did not agree we should love our enemies.
Christians don't say "F Joe Biden." Christains don't threaten to kill their political opponents. Christians ask God for forgivenes, something Trump says he does not have to do. Christians don't cut free lunch programs for the poor.

[OtterMan68]

@John_And_Elijah the fact you believe this is all I need to know.

[John_And_Elijah]

@OtterMan68 Sounds like you're accusing me of being a Trump supporter. He's a high ranking satanist. I dont idolize that man whatsoever.

[OtterMan68]

@John_And_Elijah so a conservative Christian is a walking contradtion too?

[John_And_Elijah]

Politics in general is a contradiction. Doesn't mean I don't lean more towards one side than the other.

[OtterMan68]

someone who wants to help the poor and needy? Someone who wants peace? Someone who wants the gov to spend less policing the world and the world's most expensive military and more on helping the poor?

Someone who wants more money to go into crime prevention instead of punishment?

Someone opposed to the death penatly?

All of those are compatible with liberalism

[Kaneki05]

I consider any religious person to be a contradiction nvm a liberal one lol.
It's all like hey I am going to follow this verse but this other verse nah I am good as they just cherry pick the parts they like.

[DaisyM23]

technically jesus would be regarded as quite liberal by today's standards (and was probably considered liberal 2000 years ago) especially since he cared about the poor and oppressed

[Billlewis]

All liberals are egregious contradictions of themselves. That's why they're liberals to begin with, because they're a hot mess... lol

[Lionman95]

I would say no because saying one is a liberal Christian just says something about how literally one takes the Bible.

[Daniela1982]

How is he displaying such behavior on here for you to accuse them of being a contradiction?

[NamerOfStars]

If one is a Christian, they can hardly be anything else.

[zagor]

Not at all. I've known very liberal Christians. How does giving money to the poor, rendering to Caesar what is his, etc. fit in with contemporary conservatism?

[John_And_Elijah]

Definitely! But identifying as Republican and Christian still means that you're retarded in a sense because politics are a form of deception.
