Another election, and again many Christian friends have voted for Republicans
because "Republicans are pro-life."
The question I would ask those friends is, "And you believe them !?!?"
Most people are wise enough to be skeptical of the words of politicians, any
politicians. Even more are wise people today distrustful of the words we hear
from Republicans, who have shown themselves to be the foremost party of liars
and hypocrites, and devotees of the great liar.
So I would call out scripture's words to all Christians, to those who before God
should be the most honest of all people, "Test yourself to see if you are in the faith !"
(II Corinthians 13:5).
Honest people can certainly be wrong: that's why God commands self-examination.
But only the honest are capable of fruitful self-examination: able to hear God when He says
anything contrary to their own "thoughts and ways," able to admit to themselves they've gone
astray from God's ways, and capable of turning back from their wrong ideas and wrong ways.
Even though he's a politician, I consequently have hopes that Joe Biden (for example) may
be able to look at abortion as the moral issue it is in God's word, rather than the political
"right" his party has made it. Joe Biden is a man who could possibly repent his political
support of "abortion rights."
I consequently have virtually no hope that the liars and hypocrites will repent...
especially when lies and hypocrisy are the foundation of their political "success."
Except for Almighty God's sovereign work-of-power in his heart, can anyone
imagine the Republicans' demigod admitting...to himself, first of all...that he
was ever wrong...and repenting ? And obviously none of his worshippers would
dare his wrath by questioning his ineffable wisdom (i.e., lies) ?
So we hear many Christians say they vote for the liar, and his false prophets,
because "Republicans are pro-life." So we see that many Christians believe
and follow liars because they are led astray by their "politics," and pay no heed
to the Spirit of Truth. An honest Christian is a rare thing, in this time, in our nation.
May God yet send a spirit of repentance on all Christians (if they are) who love
neither righteousness nor Truth ! May God yet call back to Himself any, if there are
any, honest hearts among the deceived now following the father of lies. Amen !
