re: Cuck says: Christianity is at odds with modern politics

Dr. Larry Arnn (Hillsdale College) was on the Mark Levin Show last night; brilliant and definitive conversation re this very subject.

The Authoritarian Ideology of Progressivism is contrary to the Individualist Ideology - I.e., the Constitution/Bill of Rights (God-given) and incompatible with the latter. The Idea of God, Natural Law and Individual Rights pre-empting those of the "mob rule" Collective...has to go for Progressives to accomplish their morally-based (perceived) Utopian agenda.

Bottom line.

You probably think Love, Forgiveness, and Compassion are principles to live your life by. You sound like the type of person who doesn't support the NRA and Chik-Fil-A, the type of person who doesn't watch Fox and Friends, the type of person who doesn't recognize that Trump was put in his position by God himself.[

What does supporting or not supporting the NRA have anything to do with Christianity or Jesus?
No, I don't watch Fox and Friends.
Trump could have been put in place by God, yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's for our benefit. God in the past allowed kings to take power that were hostile to his people.

the hateful, divisive rhetoric and name calling reveal more than a difference of political opinion in us. It reveals a failure to understand how God sees others, and their worth to him.

The only problem I have with any of that is the use of the word "violently" in the first quote. I'm not sure what, if anything, she's implying by that. Otherwise, I think it's on target.

Blah, blah, blah. Jesus wants you to vote for the baby killing atheist sodomites. Or at least not vote against them.

this is an unhelpful generalization. i do not disagree with the policies of the republican party. they protect individual rights while not curtailing rights elsewhere. thus, i am free to protect the rights of others on my own, which is biblical. i do disagree with the actions of republicans, including trump and especially the establishment, when they act outside of the principles of the party.

i absolutely do not agree with the principles of the democrat party. they are insidious and absolutely not biblical.

It becomes distinctly un-Christian when we see those with different views as the enemy.

if i am adhering to biblical righteousness, then yes, those who disagree are the enemy. that's how truth and purity are protected.

i agree with this statement except for divisiveness. God is not interested in being yoked with non believers. therefore, i absolutely should be divisive with those who are immoral. and btw, that IS how God sees them - the enemy.

racial reconciliation

this is one of satan's greatest weapons these days. God could not care less about "racial reconciliation." that's the beauty of the gospel, it is true regardless of your skin color, your height, your weight, your social status, your era, etc. it is for all people for all time. there is no reason to think "i need to work for whites to be reconciled to blacks." i DO need to think "i need to share the gospel with EVERYONE." that is the recognition of what is within my sphere of influence (sharing the gospel) and what is in God's sphere of influence (the social relationship of races). that misunderstanding is causing tons of christians to go astray into the social gospel.

otherwise, i agree with the article. remove the liberalism dog whistles and the principles are biblically sound.
