Arizona Christian University’s polling arm, The Cultural Research Center, headed up by renowned pollster George Barna, conducted a 2020 post-election survey to investigate the religious faith and attitudes of voters in last November’s presidential election.
His conclusion? People who voted for President Joe Biden hold different views on many biblical mandates than those who voted for former President Donald Trump. He concludes that “although nearly two-thirds (65%) of [Biden] voters consider themselves to be Christian, many of their religious beliefs and policy positions are at odds with the views of most Americans and with traditional biblical teaching.”
The first difference Barna notes is that in contrast to Biden voters, 80% of Trump voters identified as Christian.
On the issue of whether absolute moral truths exist and are defined in the Bible, only 25% of Biden voters believe that, as compared to 43% of Trump voters.
Is marriage between a man and a woman God’s only acceptable plan for humanity? 42% of Biden voters agree, as compared to 69% of Trump voters.
When asked, “Is God is the all-powerful, all-knowing, perfect and just creator of the universe who still rules that universe today,” 37% of those who voted for Biden and 60% of those who voted for Trump agreed.
Biden voters were more likely than Trump voters to believe that all faiths are of equal value, 68% to 58%. They were less likely than Trump voters to identify as “theologically conservative,” 25% to 42%.

Quite a difference for people who claim to follow the same Jesus Christ. Four major differences in
-Absolute moral truths
-Marriage between a man and woman
-Is God is the all-powerful, all-knowing, perfect and just creator of the universe who still rules that universe today.
- And all faiths are of equal value. (Universalism, belief in the salvation of all souls.)
Are there absolute moral truths? Yes.
Marriage is defined in the Bible between 1 man and 1 woman. God is all powerful, infinite in knowledge, perfect, holy, just, and theistically works within the universe from beginning to the end of time. Jesus is the only way to salvation.
All of this can be proved either in scripture, within the laws of logic and reason, or as evidence of God's power and work within the universe. But this post, for now, will only focus on absolute truth and the problem we face today within the spread of postmodernism.
On the issue of whether absolute moral truths exist and are defined in the Bible, only 25% of Biden voters believe that, as compared to 43% of Trump voters.
This is a big difference between 25% and 45% but still bad for Christians to be this low in both groups.
The philosophical movement called postmodernism describes knowledge and value systems as socially or culturally constructed or set by those in power.
Students who follow this belief system will criticize objective reality, moral law, absolute truth, reason, and social progress.
No one moral system is better than the other. No rights or wrongs. Just what those in power support or culturally accepted. Social progress is viewed as the ends justify the means. Imagine having no morals to constrain the social progress you wish to achieve? ( example: Hitler couldn't be judged by His actions if no absolute moral truths exist)
Modern example:
US President Joe Biden now stands accused in certain sections of defending Chinese brutalities against Uighur Muslims.

America has led the way in civil rights for centuries. How do you lead the way if we say America isn't exceptional? Are we to be hypocritical and say we are against genocide here in America but it is okay for China? Is this why Disney can take in millions of dollars from China who has one of the highest rates of civil rights crimes while simultaneously advocate for their idea of social justice in America?
!!! My revelation !!!
Postmodernism is just nonsense created to destroy the traditional Judeo-Christian foundation. They say absolute truth can not be found today until those in power want to push their truth claims tomorrow.
Be careful church.
Be careful families.
Be careful children.
Do not be led astray by nonsense.

"He added, "No American President can be sustained as a President if he doesn't reflect the values in the United States. So I am not going to speak out against what he is doing in Hong Kong, what he is doing with the Uighurs in the western mountains of China, Taiwan and One China policy by making it forceful, and he gets it. Culturally there are different norms in each country and their leaders are expected to follow", Biden said.

Postmodernism has crept into the Church but also adopted by politicians and our President. It is self-defeating because if America was being attacked by a foreign country, would he be just as acceptable to say it is just part of their cultural norm? Islamic terrorist attack. A cultural norm? America has led the way in civil rights for centuries. How do you lead the way if we say America isn't exceptional? Are we to be hypocritical and say we are against genocide here in America but it is okay for China? Is this why Disney can take in millions of dollars from China who has one of the highest rates of civil rights crimes while simultaneously advocate for their idea of social justice in America?
