Moderation in everything is good.
I don't consider myself liberal nor consrvative. I dont like fitting me into categories, it just tends to creat vainly discussions...

And you believe you are a christian? Christians do not support gay marriage, nor do they think people have the right to choose whether or not they will murder their children ect.... The separation of church and state in the way we now know is not what it was intended to be and was created by anti christian radical. To believe religion or christianity should be kept out of government goes directly against scripture and what go0verment is meant for. You are a liberal indeed, but I would have to question whether or not you are truly following Christ.
Watchmen, I may not necessarily agree with all your wrong opinions but I will defend to your death your right to be wrong. (lol) (again)

Well, I like to think about other people other than Christians. Gay marriage is fine for non-Christians. I might rethink the abortion thing; I'm not sure yet. Other people who aren't Christians should have a voice in the government. Why should Christianity be in the government ;its not necessary since America isn't a Christian nation. Judge me if you want; I don't care. I know my heart. :)
America was founded by Christian people, with Christian morals. Christians have always been in the Government until around the 1960s

Since I'm young, I don't know everything, but I do know this: I support gay marriage, I don't agree with abortion but I believe its the persons choice, I'm against the death penalty, I'm totally for the separation of church and state. I believe religion should be kept out of the government.
I guess I'm kind of conservative also because I am for the war, against illegal immigration and also believe in the right for anyone to carry arms.
(sorry for the crappy grammar)
If anyone wants to ask about these, I don't mind, but please don't be belligerent towards me. Thanks!
This is the belief of young "Christians" today which is so twisted with their own thoughts that the Holy Spirit is pushed out of the way, this mindset clouds and undermines what the Word of God says....this is why the world is heading for destruction, I pray you come to know the knowledge of the Truth but sadly it seems that you deny what the Word says.

I believe I understand your position, in part. You're a christian, but you're unsure, or perhaps unaware of reasons why gay marriage, the use of profanity, and perhaps a few other things you may have written about, are sin. I don't really see these as reasons to think that you're not christian, but I do want to caution you a little.

Some, your age, in an attempt to rid themselves of trivial rules, have often rid themselves of truth, in the process. This nation, and even the whole world, is headed toward an, 'all roads lead to heaven', type of society, and for some, in your generation, this is representing the example or teachings of Christ, but actually dethrones Christ by eliminating the bible as being the absolute truth.

Being conservative or liberal really has no place in many christian's lives. These are political affiliations, but because they are not politically active, or in other words, expressing their views to anyone who could actually affect existing policies, their views have little significance. You're not gay, so your view on gay marriage, of course, becomes irrelevant, because you do nothing to support or to further the gay rights agenda, other than to express your opinion.

If you were teaching these views to those who were not acquainted with the bible, that would represent a completely different scenario. If it were not for the complete corruptness of a government motivated by monetary gain, I suspect some bills, related to the liberal agenda, would never make it to the President's desk.

I encourage you to continue to study the word of God, and to grow in your church. Your views will likely change over the years to come. I still consider you a sister in Christ, albeit a misguided one, from time to time. :)

Maybe you are socialist/communist? hahaha.
In 1972 I voted for the Socialist Labor Party candidate for president of the USA. I was trying to impress a socialist friend of mine, I think.

where your heart is there is your treasure, you wanted to impress your friend but overlooked what God might think?

Thaddaeus, you’d have to move way to the left before you could be either of those things, wouldn’t you?

Many people describe themselves as one or the other without really understanding what they each mean, I did that when I was young before I understood more about politics and the defenition of various terms, I stumbled across this website a while ago and took the test, I didn't come out where I expected to but there were far worse places to be.

That said I am not in line with either liberal or conservative, my views don't conform to most eastablished standards within politics, which is why I have no allegiance to any currently active political party in the UK.

Very well stated by you & graybeard. I dont know if it is possible for someone new in Christ to receive the rebuke of their elders or not but I would strongly recommend giving these words consideration. I know I most certainly was resistant to rebuke for many many years & even now its a process of trying to receive the truth in humility and alot of pride swallowing. self reflection of ones beliefs after the strong rebuke of others is a humbling experience but one that the pay off is so GREAT in the growth of your relationship with the Lord. On here there are some who will speak the truth and not just say what you want to hear. This is challenging at times but well worth reflection as you grow in your knowledge of the Lord. God Bless you Tryingtofindhim and I pray that the will of the Lord will become as important a part of your faith as your salvation.

I think you speak much truth. Thanks for not judging. :) I don't present my views unless someone asks me, usually!

You need to read your bible at least 8 hours a day, no TV, no other books, no fun, no games, no jokes, and definitely don't use any other bible except the authorized 1611 KJV. Wear only oversized underpants and itchy clothing made of wool in the heat of summer. Then you might become more conservative.

This is important when the liberal kids give you wedgies.

I know some feel that laws are confineing or restrictive. The laws of the world are that way. But when one through scripture and prayer before God looks to his law, you learn thet the laws of Our lord God are not like the world, Gods laws do not confine. Our Lord Gods laws actually free you.
I never thought I would be one to witness to this, but I asked Jesus, and he showed me. I was amazed and humbled by his law. I still believe it is faith hope and Love of Our Lord Jesus , Our Father and his Spirit that are salvation. But take the time to let Our Lord Jesus show you his law. Hopefully for those that are hesitent you will see his love and freedom in the law.
God bless, pickles

I am myself a Social Conservative and Economically Left. I think that breaking one's political views into two parts (what you are socially and economically) gives greater clarity.

Thank you But I do like to listen Michael W. Smith " A New Hallelujah" and Chris Tomlin " Amazing Grace, my chains are gone" and around here that puts me to the left.
