If you consider yourself Christian, which way do your political thoughts lean?

Question

Mostly conservative? Mostly liberal? Mostly moderate?

Socially? Morally? Financially?


I'm just curious....

Answer 1

Theocratically.

Answer 2

<>< As I have gotten older and really started reading the Word, I have slowly but surely leaned more to the Right. I do not believe that we should ever be forced to give charity (more taxes-liberal), but should be giving willingly to the charities that we see fit. I also have done a 180 on abortion. I used to believe that everyone should have the "right". I am strongly opposed to those that use abortion as birth control. I still strugle however with those that have been raped or sexually abused by someone. I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to work hard, start their own business and succeed that way(conservative). Again, I do not believe in spreading the wealth by more taxes. I do not want to be forced to support people that do not feel like working, or people that continue to have babies that cannot even support the first one they had, or people that are here illegally and use our hospitals for birthing babies or whatever and then never pay making our health care costs continue to rise. I am a registered Independent, but lean more conservative at this point. I will however look at any canidate.

Answer 3

Having discovered anti-truths in 1994 let me express some views....

You must try to remember that 'political values' vary day to day, the word is not constant as a number.

Technically, a good Christian, (you don't specify what type ) would be more a left winger, except today, the left has been entired corrupted, but then again so has the right wing....

As a christian you take with the right hand and give with the left hand; a balance of both right and left with a moral perspective.

We have unfortunately been polarized between right and left rather than moral an immoral, for even an eagle uses both wings in balance to fly....

Answer 4

Well I would say I am very much a conservative and a true Republican.... but not part of the Republican party. They are nationalists, just like the Democrats.

Socially I am conservative, but in a way I am very liberal too. For instance I think homosexuality is immoral and am personally against gay marriage, but I do not want to outlaw homosexuality or necessarily ban gay marriage. I think it should be left to the states. In that way I am acting in a Republican manner, but very liberal in a way.

So socially I would say I am liberal
Morally I am conservative
Financially conservative

Answer 5

Socially moderate-to-liberal; morally conservative; fiscally moderate.

I also don't vote straight party tickets, but evaluate the candidates on an individual basis.

Answer 6

Jesus said My Kingdom is no part of this world. So a person following the CHRIST, a REAL Christian would not support any world Kingdom, BUT be loyal to Gods Heavenly Kingdom with the Christ as the CROWNED KING.
Following the Christ is the ONLY way we can obtain world peace
Love YOUR NEIGHBOR and forgive him, not 7 times, but 7 X 70 times. If you have something against your brother, settle it before you come to the Alter to present a gift.
But again, there is only one true ruler of the EARTH, and He , Jesus is King ruling in Heaven NOW
Again true Christians follow Jesus Path and do not get involved in Politics

Answer 7

I'm a Christian (Catholic, specifically) and I agree with democrats about 70% and republicans about 30%. I agree with democrats on better health care, better care for the poor, I'm against war, I'm against capital punishment, against guns. I agree with republicans on the issues of life & marriage. However, I cannot morally vote for either a republican or a democrat. I find republicanism to be troubling because of the war-record, the neglect of care for other countries, free trade, patriotic propaganda, and also the unacceptable lack of help for the poor. I find the democratic party to be much better, except for the democrat position regarding abortion/stem-cells & marriage. I will only vote for a pro-life/traditional marriage democrat, or independent, but never, ever, will my vote go toward the republican party.

Answer 8

Theist- Classical Liberal in all 3

Answer 9

Theocratic is correct- Christians know that the governments in place now are temporary & they turn their attention to Gods Kingdom, the on his son Jesus Christ prayed for.

Jeremiah 10:23 brings out how Man cannot rule themselves

Jesus stayed out of politics is that he knew that at a future set time, God would establish a heavenly government to rule over the earth. The Bible calls this government God's Kingdom, and it was the main theme of Jesus' teaching.

(Luke 4:43; Revelation 11:15) Jesus taught his disciples to pray for that Kingdom to come, for only under its rule will 'God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven.' (Matthew 6:9, 10) You may wonder, 'If this Kingdom is going to rule over the entire earth, what will happen to man-made governments?'

The answer is found at Daniel 2:44: "In the days of those kings [ruling at the end of the present system] the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these [man-made] kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite.

In order to help people make an informed decision about rulership, Jesus commissioned his disciples to preach the "good news of the kingdom . . . in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations" before the end of the present system comes. (Matthew 24:14)

Answer 10

I do not separate my political thoughts and leanings from my belief in God- I must vote for the candidate the best lives this life that God would be pleased with. No matter if the candidate is republican or democratic - I vote for him/her if they stand for what is morally correct- if a candidate is pro-choice, I cannot vote for that candidate- why, you ask? I cannot believe in a candidate that thinks it ok if someone chooses to kill - even if he/she would not abort. I cannot vote for a candidate if they believe in same sex marriages- because the ONE that I serve is not please with that. My God is who I follow- and if the candidate wants laws passed that go against the Word of God, I cannot vote for them- call me a conservative fundamentalist- if you want- that is ok with me.

Answer 11

Right in the middle - Neutral. (Jesus said we're s'posed 2 b no part of this world)

Everything else I guess would technically fall into the conservative area, cuz Christians are s'posed to be humble and moderate in all their dealings.
