Political Party, part 2

This post has been edited (10/2/06).

Link to part 1

First I would like to comment more on the “do yourself and us a favor…” statement. This comment expresses the idea that Mr. Keiser’s being in the Democratic Party is poor political strategy. But if winning souls for Christ is the real goal, then it is not bad strategy at all. God may be using him to give evil people a chance to repent.

Secondly, the remark was made that “we (liberals) are for helping people” as if they are helping people and we are not. It all depends on what you mean by “helping people”. You can “help people” into hell. Born again Christians help people the way God defines it, by saving people from hell. Liberals use the government to force people to do “helpful” things, but II Corinthians 9:7 says, “Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” Jesus said of “the experts in the law”: “…woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.” and “…you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.” (Luke 11:46, 52) Do yourself and me a favor and click this link.
