Sometimes I think the Republicans are nothing like Jesus. Do you think they are really instruments of Satan?

Question

What did the Bible say about judging? Isn't it funny the ones calling people unpatriotic end up being the ones that really are unpatriotic?

Answer 1

More over, I think they are just of a sub-intelligent strain of human being. I believe there is a dominant gene in their lineage that has made their IQ's low ere than the rest of us. Though it may seem they are doing the work of Satan, what really is happening they just can't rationalize the issues in great depth. Honestly, we should feel sorry for them because of their inability to utilize their brain.

Answer 2

To tell the truth all people are the instruments of Satan; however, someday God with his infinite wisdom will make us into what he wants us to be and hopefully it will be people who hate war and bloodshed and love one another no matter what. Is that possible? Yes. Only if God wants it so. He will surely have to do something to change the world radically as it is now to what he wants it to be in the future. At this time the the world is a mess that only God can untie and make it right. At this time no one in this world is like Jesus. We are light years away from his thoughts about what human beings should really be like. Perhaps we are asking too much from these merely mortal bodies of ours? It does, however, seem that we are sinking lower and lower and religion isn't helping us retain healthy minds and compassionate spirits. We are just not good enough.

Answer 3

We are all imperfect. It is born into humanity. All great religions have usually started on a basis of brotherly love. Well not exactly. More than a few have been based on the concept we are the people of God lets conquer everyone else. But sooner or later brotherly love does creep in. All religious fanatics, regardless of the religion, are a little Osma Bin Ladin. All through history. There is not much difference between Osma and Oliver Cromwell actually. They both knew the one way to God. And paved it with the bodies of anyone who believed different. As far as the most extreme Republicans and religion go, I think they have forgotten the dangers of not having religious tolerance.

Answer 4

I won’t go so far as to slander Republicans as instruments of Satan, though undoubtedly they partake in behavior that even he would approve of. You are absolutely accurate when you say that many Republicans bear no resemblance to Jesus in their political platforms or behavior, even though they are quick to invoke his name in anything that they do. The dichotomy between their professed belief and Christian living, and self-serving ways is very revealing.

They brazenly disregard the impoverished of this world, while promoting the interests of the affluent at their expense, something that is diametrically opposed to Christ’s teachings. To add insult to injury they are duplicitous enough to advertise to the world that this philosophy of trickle down, where the rich are alleviated of the tax burden, somehow assists the poor. Its one thing to sin, it is another thing to not own up to the sin, and try to whitewash it as a virtue.

They for the most part are advocates of war for more than self-defense, which is an egregious violation of Christ’s overt pacifist teachings. They use wars as a means to acquire profit and power, and yet again they refuse to fess up to this sin, and instead sanitize it to make it seem as if they are engendering goodness in the world with their villainous acts.

Yet all these sins are excusable. What is inexcusable, and what really would incur Jesus’ wrath more than every other sin is the fact that they have an air of moral superiority over those who they deem to be non-Christians, and who don’t espouse their so called “family values” Its this sanctimony that Jesus ridiculed the most. It is the self-righteousness that he loathed the most in an individual. It was his primary problem with the Pharisees and it would be his problem with the “Christian” conservative base that is such a central constituent in the Republican Party.

As Jesus said of the Pharisees : “ Jesus said to them, ‘Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.’” (Matthew 21:31) This verse applies greatly to the conservative Christian base of the Republican Party. They hijack Jesus’ name but breach his most important commandments.

Answer 5

I don't understand how it is a Christian ideal to support a political party whose main goal is to relieve the tax burden on the rich and increase profits for business. How is it a Christian ideal to support a party that has no programs to relieve the suffering of the poor, nor any notion to help support the elderly, nor any kind of program to help the average person get through any of the tribulations of everyday life.
I can understand Christians' reluctance to support the Democratic party, a party who may help the poor but appears to be the party of fornicators. The Republican party, on the other hand, clearly seems to be the party of idolaters. Neither political party seems to fit into any solid Christian ideal. Wouldn't it make more sense to form a separate Christian party?

Answer 6

I would love to say yes but Jesus ask me not to judge.


In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.

The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.

Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.

Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.

Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Answer 7

Are you not judgeing in your question? Look in the mirror. lol You without sin cast the first stone. If not then stop ridiculing people and spend more time praying for them and our country. That's not an order just a suggestion. He He

Answer 8

Due to the war polices of the Republicans, they are now associated with Satan which should not be the case because they wanted to protect their country from terrorism.

Answer 9

No I do not. Just because Republicans are against taxing the working people to support those who refuse to lift a finger to support themselves is not evil.

Answer 10

They're not that great today, but if they were perfect you would hate them all the more and you probably are glad for their failings, so that you can get a Democrat sicko in there who will derstroy us ten times as fast.
