Politics Causes Division In The Body Of Christ
by Quincy Osborne There are many Christians who would boldly say that they can not see themselves voting for someone on the Democrat ticket. My question is this, why don't you feel that way about the person who is on the Republican ticket? Why do Christians think that God is so pleased with the Republican Party? This illustrates how a lot of Christians have been programmed to believe that a carnal political party is so righteous. They would even go so far as to say that anyone who votes for a Democrat are not really a Christian. As many of you might know, the reason for this kind of thinking has to do with the issue of Abortions which Democrats have been noted as being the clear supporters of. As a person who is in love with Jesus Christ and not someone who is inclined to let anything that is so worldly as a Political Party separate me from my brothers and sisters in Christ, I find it to be very sad that some of my fellow Christians would allow Satan to use them with something as carnal as a political party to cause division in the Body Of Christ. I find it to be very sad that some of my brothers and sisters in Christ are so quick to point out the SINS that the Democrat Party supports but seem to be blind to the SINS that the Republican Party supports. I am amazed that so many of my fellow Christians will point a finger at other Christians whom Christ shed His blood for, and accuse them of being great sinners simply because they voted for Barack Obama. Yes, I agree that Christians should not support abortions. But do you actually think that Christians who voted for the Democrat were voting to support abortions? Are you not aware of the fact that no matter who you vote for, you are going to be voting for a candidate who is affiliated with a political party that supports numerous SINS? Why do you regard abortion as being so terrible when compared to the SINS that the Republicans support? Are you not aware of the fact that the REPUBLICAN PARTY AND DEMOCRAT PARTY SUPPORT SINS THAT CAUSE MORE HARM THAN ABORTIONS? Many Christians who vote Democrat make it plain and clear that they do not support abortions. That is not the reason why they voted for the Democrat. Many people know all too well that the president is not able to have much impact on the abortion issue anyway. President Bush served for 8 years and he was not able to make a significant impact on the abortion issue. He had no control over the situation. Therefore, in the eyes of Christians who voted for the Democrat, the abortion issue is something that they know, more than likely, will not be dealt with, although for Born Again Christians, it would be nice to see it done away with. The people who are directly involved with performing abortions will have to answer to GOD on a personal level just as they have to answer to HIM regarding any sinful activity. Because of the flaws in our government, this is not something that the President of The United States of America is going to impact very much. The bottom line is this: the Republican Party has been using the abortion issue to LURE Christians into voting for them, making sure that no one hears about the SINS THAT REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS SUPPORT THAT CAUSE MORE HARM THAN ABORTIONS. Even our well known Television Evangelists and Preachers have shown strong loyalty to the Republican Party and have made it obvious that they consider the Democrats to be Pure Evil, neglecting to proclaim the truth that both Political Parties support evils that God is not pleased with. Even our Christian Leaders make it appear that the Democrats are too evil to vote for, while at the same time giving the OK for THE BODY OF CHRIST to vote for the REPUBLICANS WHO SUPPORT SINS THAT CAUSE MORE HARM THAN ABORTIONS. Apparently many of my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ are not aware of the fact that all of those Christians who voted for the Republican candidate, ended up voting for someone who supports SINS THAT CAUSE MORE HARM THAN ABORTIONS. The level of brainwashing that has occurred in the Body Of Christ has reached such a high level that Christians actually think that they are doing something that God is pleased with when they endorse the Republican Party. My brothers and sisters, in the eyes of God, sin is sin. Both the Democrats and the Republicans support sins that no Christian should support. But I am sure that whenever my fellow Christians cast their vote for the Republican or the Democrat they are not voting to support the obvious SINS that the Political Parties support, they are voting to try to choose someone that will help to deal with some of the issues that we have to deal with as American Citizens. To tell the truth about the whole matter, if any Christian is going to point fingers at their brothers and sisters because they voted for Barack Obama, they need to look at the 3 fingers that are pointing right back at them because they are guilty of supporting the REPUBLICANS WHO SUPPORT SINS THAT CAUSE MORE HARM THAN ABORTIONS AND HOMOSEXUALITY. We must remember, sin is sin in the Eyes Of God. It is my prayer that the BODY OF CHRIST will stop allowing Satan to use them like puppets on a string to cause them to see themselves as divided from their brothers and sisters in CHRIST simply because they did not vote for the REPUBLICAN WHO SUPPORTS SINS THAT CAUSE MORE HARM THAN ABORTIONS AND HOMOSEXUALITY. I will not get into all the details of the SINS that both the Democrat and Republican Parties represent, I will reserve that for a book that I hope the Lord will bless me to write in the near future, if the Lord will. But please my brothers and sisters in Christ, let us not allow Satan to trick us into thinking that just because someone voted for Barack Obama, they committed some great sin that they need to repent for. The level of brainwashing has gotten so intense to the point where even one of our bishops felt compelled to tell his church congregation that if they voted for Barack Obama, they must repent before taking part in Holy Communion. This story was broadcast all over the cable news channels and the internet, which turned out to be quite embarrasing for THE BODY OF CHRIST. It shows how effective the world of politics has been in shaping the thinking of even our Church Leaders. They have become blind to the fact that REPUBLICANS SUPPORT SINS THAT CAUSE MORE HARM THAN ABORTIONS AND HOMOSEXUALITY. It is sad to learn that one of our Church Leaders responded to his congregation this way, and it makes people who are not Christians feel like they don't want to be connected with any group of people that have that kind of thinking. JESUS WANTS THE BODY OF CHRIST TO GET SOME HOLY GHOST WISDOM AND STOP DEPENDING ON THE WISDOM OF MAN. We must be aware of the fact that although the Republicans say they do not support abortions and homosexuality, they do support other SINS THAT CAUSE MORE HARM THAN ABORTIONS AND HOMOSEXUALITY. We need to pray that God will help us to create unity in the Body Of Christ and stop seeing ourselves as so connected to this world. Christians are citizens of a far better country known as THE KINGDOM OF GOD. Jesus is our President, our King, our High Priest, our Everything. Let us find unity among us so that we can represent CHRIST and help to point someone to JESUS so that they too, can become a citizen of the Greatest Country In The Earth Realm---THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
