Political Party

HA! I thank God that people like you hold no sway in the Democratic Party. Here, you have dismissed followers of the social gospel as not being true Christians. Where is your Christian humility? I don't see how you plan to unite Christians, by rejecting certain Christians.Do me and yourself a favor, and drop the "Democrat" label. The Democratic Party has always been about helping others, and I don't understand what you are trying to do, when you run for US Senate as a Democrat. My hunch is that is an insurgent campaign designed to destroy the party.

I would first say that you do not know Mr. Keiser. You have no idea what his intentions are.

Jesus said, "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother ..." (Matthew 10:33-35). Many places in the scripture bear out that we should not intentionally create dissention in the body of Christ. But if one stands up for the unborn against all of their murderers, and against the government with its theft through unjust taxes (which is your "social gospel"), there will naturally be conflict between the true born again believers and the false converts. The landowner will not separate the wheat from the tares until the harvest.

There is nothing wrong with Mr. Keiser's choice to remain in the Democratic Party, even though his views are despised by most in it. Neither of the two major parties represent the values that Mr. Keiser appears to have, and the monopoly that both parties have makes it difficult to for anyone to run as a third party or independent candidate. Democrats and Republicans are given special treatment under the law by Federal Elections commission.

Paul was educated in the ways of the Pharisees. After his conversion, it became his custom to preach in the synagogues (Acts 9:20, 17:17, etc.). Other Christians continued to go the synagogues (Acts 26:11) until they were thrown out (John 16:2). Paul even continued to consider himself a Pharisee (Acts 23:6, 26:5).
