This is a dumb argument. Dems lose solely by supporting abortion. It doesnt matter whether or not you agree with their logic, the common outlook is abortion is murdering babies. You lose. Nothing you'll ever argue will be stronger than that. I have no idea why you tried this tactic. Did you honestly think youd have some sort of point?
Well yes, and that point clearly went well above your head, didn't it? The point is that many Christians are hypocritical, and that the Republican platform as a whole, is
far less "Christian" than the Democrat platform. And beyond hypocrisy, many (most?) Christians have perverted their own religion to evil, cruel ends. Misinterpreting their God's word to be used as a sword against their perceived enemies, and a shield against their own immoralities. That's the issue at hand.
You're not exactly bringing new information here by saying Christians don't support abortion.
Single-issue voters are generally morons who latch onto one thing (guns, trannies, or abortion) and just coast on easy-mode for the rest of their voting lives because they don't want to, or are incapable of, educating themselves on the rest of the issues facing the country. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who don't like hearing that, but it's precisely what I've witnessed here in rural America.
True and undefiled religion is to care for the widows and orphans - that is true, but
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 2Thessalonians 3:10
also, can we only care for the poor through govt?
More than 70% of non-elderly families who receive government assistance have at least one person who works. Half of these families have someone who works a full-time job.
When wages stagnate like they have for the last 50 years, and the cost of living continues to rise, this is the result.
You can care for the poor in other ways, but unless you solve the aforementioned issues through regulation, providing assistance through the government is the only reasonable method of help. When a government fails to protect society from the greed of unregulated industry, it has a duty to protect society through other means.
Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.
John 10:1
You're either naive or being extremely disingenuous, here, which is amusing because Pharisees also misinterpreted what Jesus was saying. He wasn't talking about physical fences and intruders. He was referring to himself as the gateway to salvation, and the sheep as everyone seeking it. The lesson is that Jesus is the only door to salvation, and that if you try to enter his kingdom otherwise, you will not be saved.
Using
that passage to justify excluding and shunning immigrants is so anti-Christian I was actually kind of taken aback.
Can't believe you even went here, but:
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
Psalm139:14
Hey, but if you think God made a mistake then by all means chop your junk off.
Jesus commands people to love thy neighbor, and explicitly states that it is a lesson second only to loving God. He didn't say "Love thy neighbor unless they're transgender, and then treat them like garbage". If anything, Psalm 139:14 only reinforces God's love for all of his children. To attempt to use his words there to vilify people is kind of heinous.
Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
Matthew 22:21
Jesus didnt cocern himself with taxation.
No, he didn't, but he did concern himself with helping those in need. Creating a just society where everybody is cared for is a far more Christian thing to do than creating a society where the majority suffer by the extreme few.
