When I was in the lcm political position was subtly very pubbie oriented. For example. when brothers discovered I subscribed to Newsweek, Time, and U.S. News & World Report, I was advised to only read U.S. News & World Report (a conservative news mag). And then, my open minded reading was such a concern that news of it was spread around to other brothers, who also talked -- I mean 'fellowshipped' -- to, "with," me about my selection of reading of "worldly" material.

I admit that, if you are a Christian it can be confusing. Afterall, God is a conservative, and Jesus is a liberal. Shouldn't Christians of the New Covenant therefore be liberal?

That's why I'm confused by evangelicals going for Trump ... not to mention that his whole life has been devoted to mammon.

Mat_6:24 "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." - Jesus

That's hysterical!

You are one funny guy!

Now is the Holy Spirit an Independent?

Perhaps the angels are libertarians?

And Lucifer is in the communist party?

Don't know what you're driving at, but, I hope we all love our biological father ... and he's a man.

Awareness: indeed.

I don't see why the legalization of gay marriage is such a big deal to conservative Christians. You're not of this world, why should you care how the govt. Defines marriage? If God doesn't see it as marriage...it should matter not what man calls it.

And then a surprising lack of concern for issues that should matter to all...the loss of a healthy middle class, policy on climate change, environmental regulations, and humanitarian causes. Perhaps God will fix those.

Trump seems to be supportive of the lgbtq community. I wonder if that angers fundamentalists.

Conservative God-fearing Christians are very interested in moral issues, economic issues, climate issues, and social issues, humanitarian issues, being very concerned for the country we leave our children. We are not of this world, but does that mean we don't care about jobs, education, crime, etc. Your logic is upside down in my opinion.

For the most part, there is no fixing the serious issues of our day. For example, when the federal deficit was half its size we spent more time discussing it. Have you not noticed that things are deteriorating rather than improving. Racial tensions are higher than ever, yet statistics say the AA communities are worse off than ever. There is much emphasis today on lgbt "rights," but their demographics and social status are among the highest economically.

Time will tell whether the Bible or the wishful utopians are correct.
