They are a package deal. How one comes to address these issues is the matter at hand. I don't believe that abortion or same sex marriage should be legal. I see no right bestowed upon us either in the Bible or n the Constitution (not that the two are equal). One could make an argument that God's granting of free will makes it so, but that does not mean that we as a society have to sanction it.<br />On such issues I stand firmly with the morally conservative.<br /><br />On the social issues I have some ups and downs. I think the science on such issues as Global warming is junk and propaganda hence I don't support drastic restrictive actions. On one hand it's a money grab. On the other it's earth worship. I do support good stewardship. Hence, I recycle, don't litter, and always support efficiency.<br /><br />Items such as healthcare, hunger, and the like I support as well. However, I don't support them from a government stand point. I don't think the church should pass it's call and responsibility on to the government to satisfy it's conscience about such issues. Christ said, "You feed them." He didn't say vote for those that would feed them. The government does a poor job with such things. Waste and corruption abound. And, there is no mention of the Gospel. I think this is the churches responsibility.<br /><br />So, can Christian's be Republicans and Democrats...sure. Can they support all platforms...NO. There is a way to serve both the City of God and the City of man without comprimising our faith and without supporting the worldly systems.J.
