Can a Christian vote for the Democrat Party who support abortions, homosexual marriages, and socialism? Many televangelists Pastors ask the question, "How can you call yourself a Christian and vote Democrat"?

Depending on the variety of issues at hand, can a Christian vote for different parties or candidates?

It's my opinion that a person's who voted for a candidate who supports killing the unborn and homosexuality they openly endorse the same.

I would strongly question a person's christian standing on the two issues.

Personally, I vote according to my faith and beliefs................. It does not matter the Party of the Candidate.............there are Democrats and Republicans who DO NOT support those "hot button" issues you mentioned, and there are BOTH Democrats and Republicans who do support said issues.

I look closely at the person. Do some research, and read as much as I can about them, especially anything they wrote, or spoke.

I have not voted for the President in the last 4 cycles.............. 2nd Bush Term, both Obama Terms and Trumps current Term, simply because neither of the Candidates in each of those Election Cycles were (IMO) Christian, or held to Christian Values.......

I vote the "Under Ticket." It's much easier to find Candidates of the Christian Faith.

Been around since Kennedy was President. For me the DEM party is nothing like it once was. When I as of last night her one side leaving out "one nation under GOD". One stands up for Jesus and is for Israel. Its a easy choice for me

I know Christians who are Democrats. I really don't get it.

I'm supporting God with my political party though.

I wouldn't be a Democrat even if I wasn't a Christian though. I guess I just don't fall for the crap. I've never been a racist. I don't speak only Spanish in America. The key is "only." Bilingual is great. I'm suppose to care what an 18 year old feminist rap musician has to say?

"Come on man!" as Joe would say.

Proverbs 22:3
“3 A prudent man foresees the evil, and hides himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. (The “prudent man” is the one who lives his life by the Bible and, therefore, “foresees evil.” He can, therefore, protect himself from its environment.


The “simple” can be likened to those who do not know or believe the Bible and are, therefore, ignorant of the vicissitudes of the spirit world.)”

No Christian today can vote for the Democrats in good conscience. They have fully adopted Satan's agenda, and all that they say are lies or hatred. There is no truth in them.

As Jesus said, Satan's Agenda is to (1) STEAL, (2) KILL, and (3) DESTROY. A close examination of their policies and programs will confirm that they are following exactly this agenda. The theft of votes is guaranteed in the upcoming elections.

Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me; therefore I took them away as I saw fit.
(Ezekiel 16:49-50)
what does God say the sin of Sodom was?
it should not be surprising that God doesn't say it was sexual perversion.

  • vanity & pride
  • wealth & ease
  • forgetting the poor & needy
which one of America's two worldly parties promotes vain nationalism, serves the rich and neglects the poor and the stranger in the land?
doesn't His word say wolves are out to deceive and make disciples out of us with feigned words, making merchandise of you & of the gospel?


you can't serve both God and the GOP any more than you can serve both God and the DNC.
ask your pastor how can you call yourself a Christian and vote for a liar?

Neither party is a Christian party. There is no such thing as a Christian nation or a Christian political party.

Also Christian theocracy is not supported. You can vote republican or democrat. You can have more socialist views or not. There are dozens of issues that both sides support that are wicked. Sure the left often supports abortion. The right tends to be way more supportive of sending Americans overseas to die killing foreigners overseas. So there is a whole lot of gray in addition to back and white issues.

Next election I’m not voting period. I think both candidates should not be leaders of a country. After this election, and honestly even with this election I still may anyways, I’m voting left since they seem to be the ones that simply are more in tune with science and taking care of this biosphere.

It was a Republican Supreme Court that approved SAME-SEX MARRIAGE (with a controlled Republican House and Senate).

Roe v. Wade Approved By Republican Appointees. A 1973 Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade, legalized abortion by a 7-2 vote. Six of the seven justices in the majority were Republican. This also includes same sex marriage - Republicans legalized same sex marriage .

I don’t think we can vote as christians. It is placing your trust in a system that is the problem in the first place.
I like Trump and I don’t like Biden’s approach, but in the end they are both equally connected to this world serving different agenda’s. Yet both players on the stockmarket and thinking as business men. When one wants to be a succesful businessman on the stockmarket you can’t let emotions play part.
Killing a thousand or a million to see those investments rise in value was and is never that far off.

Trump buying millions of vaccines that are not ready yet is making me raise eyebrowns. But that’s on them. I don’t vote and I won’t tell them how to live as long they stay out of my business. I like my life in segregation.

People should know by now that *sock puppet* is the last epithet that could be applied to me.

What you should do now -- for your own spiritual well-being -- is carefully examine the policies and programs being pushed by the extreme Leftist Democrats at this point and see if any of them can be reconciled with Christian beliefs.

You could start with the murder of millions of babies -- genocide -- and then go from there to all the anarchy and lawlessness being promoted by these evildoers. So a vote for Democrats is A VOTE FOR THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS.

Yes, be a Christian and take a good hard look at Joe Biden's con job. The Democrats believe in conning voters and then going ahead with their evil agenda. Biden has adopted Bernie Sanders COMMUNIST MANIFESTO.

Joe Biden's con job
By Monica Showalter

Joe Biden drew a lot of pundit praise on all sides for his Democratic National Convention acceptance speech, signaling just how reasonable and "moderate" and mainstream he is. He loves his country. He prays to God. He thinks America is full of good people. He opposes COVID. He hates dictators. He cares about you. He care about jobs "for everyone." He'll bring the economy back. "I will be an ally of the light," he insists — "light" being a word he uses 12 times, borrowing from Peggy Noonan's "thousand points of light," who incidentally loved the speech.

It was in stark contrast to all the previous pundit-praised Democrats who condemned America as flawed and threatened to force open socialism down our throats. Just one problem: it's a con.What Biden is promising as Honest Joe is for the cameras alone. It's not just lies, which are also abundant; it's bait and switch. What he's proposing and what's really there in the Democratic list of priorities and plans are absolute opposites.

Mark Levin outlined on Hannity Thursday just how fraudy it all was, examining the "Joe Biden-Bernie Sanders unity platform." "This is the Bernie Sanders - Biden manifesto. Nobody is discussing it. No newsroom read it. It's not discussed at the Democratic National Convention ... I want people to know what's in this document. It's 110 pages long [of] how they will destroy your country," he said.

He's essentially trying to con voters into voting for him instead of telling them what will really happen. The Biden transcript is here.

Says someone who supports candidates who support abortion, parasitic behavior for votes, burning down cities, removing God from the social conscience, etc...
