Jesus Is Not a Liberal Evangelical:
The Confusions and Distortions of Randall Balmer
In a famous review in a 1950 issue of the journal Mind, Sir Peter Medawar said of a book by Teilhard de Chardin, “its author can be excused of dishonesty only on the grounds that before deceiving others he has taken great pains to deceive himself.” Something similar could be said of Randall Balmer’s recent essay, “Jesus Is Not a Republican.” If Palmer is not being intentionally misleading and dishonest, it is only because he has first misled and deceived himself.

Intersting article. I am tired of people going around and telling me that Jesus would be an American liberal. I find this to be asinine and ignorant.
Yes, on some issues I can see Jesus being for it, but NOT on others, especially the big issues.
Christians should NEVER stand for and Jesus isn't found in:
1. The murder of innocent babies.
2. Homosexual Marriage
3. Breaking the Laws. (Scripture tells us that we are to follow our laws, this includes immigration)
4. Taking Him out of politics
5. Evolution
6. The ACLU and their policies.
7. Globalization
8. The lies and secularism found in the Democratic Party. Yes, the Republicans have them to, but we do not make excuses for our liars as the Democratic Party has done for both Clintons, John Kerry, or any of the many others. We call a spade a spade.
Doesn't the fact that most of the World (secular and so-called liberal Christians) seem to jump on the bandwagon and the majority of the press is printing lies in favor of the liberal camp, tell you which side we are on??
If we love the World we hate God.
John 15:18-25
18 "If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.
19 "If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.
20 "Remember the word that I said to you, `A slave is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.
21 "But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me.
22 "If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 "He who hates Me hates My Father also.
24 "If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well.
25 "But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, `THEY HATED ME WITHOUT A CAUSE.'
1 John 2:
15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.
17 The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.
(The World that He is speaking of is the "unbelievers" and "false Christians" of the World)
This does not mean that we should not love the people in the World, God forbid, we are to love all human beings. This means that we are not to hold on the ideas and beliefs that the World holds.
I think that the most dangerous words in the English dictionary are:
1. Globalize (your thinking)
2. Progressive (politics)
3. Worldview (ok probably two words, but you get my meaning)
None of these represent Christ. Not a one.
I am so tired of false Christians telling me that I must become progressive in my thinking and that I must Globalize my thoughts!!
NEVER!!!!!
All I have to do is see what the liberals want to happen. It takes globalization in order to set things up for the anti-christ. I am not for that whatsoever.
Have these false Christians ever stopped to think that maybe, just maybe, that this is what the devil is hopeing and waiting for??
Isn't it the walk away from traditional and biblical thinking that is going to bring in the anti-christ??
The anti christ isn't going to be able to take control until the World gets "global" and "progressive" in their thinking? Where is God in that??
I am also tired of being called a NAZI because of a stance that is backed up by scripture that breaking the law is not of God. The alternative that this false christian brought up was that instead of taking the illegal aliens back to mexico, we should allow them access to all Government agencies, but also not allow them to get a job.
Tell me how that makes sense?? It puts a hardship on tax payers who are already over taxed in order to support them with our government because we have blocked all access for them to feed their children.
That just sounds cruel!! And they call me a Nazi!!! What a hyprocritical stance!! To me the idea of having more people come over just so that they are not able to support their families, sure sounds more like the way the jews were treated than anything I have ever said.
That is racial and prejudice without any scripture to back it up as well as a very un-christlike attitude about things.
