Podcast: Recordings & Scriptures: * The evil in politics: Can a Christian be involved in the hatred of political parties and in voting and approving worldly men?

In 2016, I was watching TV and happened upon the Democratic National Convention. As they showed the delegates, the cameras viewed in on a woman. Something seemed wrong. She was wearing a dress. She had on heels and women's jewelry. She wore a woman's make-up. Then I realized she was a man dressed as a woman! A slight beard had begun to appear on her face. I was very shocked!

Apparently the political parties are approving and accepting homosexuals and lesbians as delegates to their national conventions and approving them in their parties.

(I am very non-political and do not vote for either party.)

Somehow seeing this man dressed as a woman at a political convention showed me how very evil the world of politics is today.

A Christian could not be a part of being involved in such worldly evil.

For the Bible says the following concerning homosexuals and lesbians.

Romans 1:24-28 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

As a Christian, we cannot participate in anything that is contrary to Bible for the apostle John says to approve such and wish them well would be to make ourselves as a participant in their evil deeds.

II John

8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

Politics in every way is filled with hatred and will cause the Christian to hate and to fight the other party.

And we must abstain from those things which cause us to hate.

To vote for either party is to approve worldly men who do evil things.

Instead, the apostle Paul says to pray for those in authority.

I Timothy 2:1-2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

If we learn to hate the other political party, how can we pray for those in authority if they win the election?

As Christians we are separated from the work of worldly men and women. We live in this world but are not of this world. Our goal is to live in peace, without spot and blameless in the sight of God, as we wait for Jesus who takes us out of this world and takes us to the new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. (II Peter 3:14 & Rev. 21:21-5)

We cannot be a part of politics and vote for men of this world allowing ourselves to be a part of their evil.

This is explained in this podcast.

I Thessalonians 5

1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

* "Peace and safety "

In the 1960's in Texas if a homosexual was caught, he was put in prison. It was against the law to be homosexual in Texas.

Today homosexuals are safe in USA as never before. They have to be saying "peace & safety" as never before.

Homosexuals and lesbians can even draw benefits from USA government as married couples.

They are protected in their jobs in USA. People are forbidden in the work force today to speak that which the Bible says about homosexuals and lesbians.

The leaders of the Catholic church have publicly accepted same sex marriages.

Nothing can touch homosexuals and lesbians today ... except for God!

Adultery and fornication, sex outside of marriage between men and women, is often approved and protected in USA. Adultery and fornication approved and accepted by society as "normal". We are rarely shocked by anything today for it appears over and over before our eyes.

The churches invite all to come to church.

The doctrines of Christ have been silenced and removed in the church groups so no one will be offended in their various sins which are approved at the churches.

All is well!

A time of "peace and safety" ... surely we draw nearer to the coming wrath of God, the great tribulation (Rev. 8-16), upon this earth and the removal of the godly from this earth.

Jesus says:

Matthew 24

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And HE (Jesus) shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

II Peter 3

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.
