should a christian be a republican? Options

[Retrogressive]

I guess since republicans do not believe in homosexual marriages and abortion most christians I know are republicans. But what about the seperation between church and state? I guess morals have a lot to do with who you will vote for, but shouldn't it be the right person for the job? A lot of christian republicans that I know don't believe in abortion and that is a big issue of why they voted for bush, but I haven't seen bush do anything about abortion. I don't know is it wrong to be a democrat christian? Isn't kerry a christian?

Wow, i dont think anyone could've been that far off base.

Am I? If you think I'm off base, then I think you should choose better words to explain your views.

Im not suggesting non-christians to be the enemy, nor have i ever.
There is a saying, "hate the sin, love the sinner." Your suggested way of life concludes that you must love the sin and wait who is the sinner? That is how it is whether you realize it or not.

If that's not what you were suggesting, then who is the "commong enemy" all Christians have?

No, what YOU FAIL to realize in your black and white world is that there are exceptions to sin that can be forgiven if God holds ANY love for mankind. If your God sees things in black and white as you do, then I nothing more to say. However, ALL Christians claim that they cannot fully understand the ways of God, therefore, you cannot claim to know EXACTLY how God feels about any one sin. That would means you know what God thinks and you would be next to perfect.

Hate the sin, but love the sinner? I do not hate the sin if the situation canjustify it. Hatred isn't the way I choose to live life. Love the sinner? I cannot love one who murders and rapes innocents. That is the way of MY life, whether you like it or not. Free will, right?

There is not a single viable argument through out your entire post. Just blatant misinterpretation followed by an unwilling and closed mind. I suggest you try again. You are a role model for these other younger kids on here. Try acting like it, instead of just bashing and arguing semantics with those who oppose your views and debate. Good try though.

Who is more close-minded? One who thinks he knows ALL the answers, or one who thinks she must be open to possibilities to other answers? Oh yes, m'dear, real close minded. I wonder if you know what it means .

There is no hint of hatred through out my whole post.

Once more, if you think that way, then learn to word things better. After all, everyone is sensing some deep bitterness from your posts.

Why do you have a "common enemy" if you do not hate the enemy? If you do not hate the enemy then they wouldn't be called enemy, but friend.
