Hypocrisy Among American Fundamentalists

Hi Hyroglyphx, Could you tell me what gospel you are talking about?I would like to hear what you think the gospel is.God Bless,

Hi Phat, Do you realize how many of our Presidents have been members of Churches?You do know that IKE was the president responsible for the statement of "under God" being added to the pledge to the flag. He also was responsible for "In God we trust" being placed on our currency.God Bless,

Hi Percy, Can you point out a time that religion was abusive that it was not a part of the government?That is the reason our Constitution says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ".This forbids the government from establishing a religion.Our forefathers had left England which had a government/religion which had been very abusive to those who did not believe the same as the state church.God Bless,

Hi Hyroglyphx, The teachings and revelations of Jesus Christ have nothing to do with the gospel of Jesus Christ.The gospel or good news is that Jesus was crucified and died for the sins of mankind. He was buried and rose again 72 hours after He was buried. So we could know we can have victory over death.So in short form the gospel of Jesus Christ is His death, burial and resurrection.So I don't think that will help explain anything to you about politics.God Bless,

Hi Hyro, The First Amendment to the Constitution."Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ".The first part says plainly that Congress shall make no law respecting.An establishment of religion.That part says Congress can not make a law establishing a religion. (regardless of what brand of religion).The rest: "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"Plainly states that Congress can not make a law prohibiting the exercise of a religion. (regardless of what brand of religion).God Bless,

Hi Hyro, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are called the four gospels as they were so named by the Church Fathers a very long time ago.They are so called because they all include the gospel of Christ. They tell of his death burial and resurrection to redeem mankind from his lost estate.You asked how this pertained to the discussion.The word fundamental or fundamentalists makes the definitions of terms used important to any discussion.fundamental/ˌfəndəˈmen(t)əl/
adjectiveadjective: fundamental
1. forming a necessary base or core; of central importance.A fundamental Christian does not get to form his/her own base or core of central importance.All Christian beliefs are based upon the Word of God which we find in the Bible.Churches or groups who make up their own core of central importance is not a Christian Church.A Christian is someone who is living a life like Christ did.
A Christian Church is one that is practicing what Jesus preached the way He said to live our lives. Not to live their lives the way they choose, and accepting the parts Jesus taught that agrees with their worldview.Now as to the discussion at hand.Fundamentalist are humans and can make as big of mistakes as anyone else.But when it comes to electing officials to lead our government I would rather have a born again fundamental Christian leading our country. The problem with that is that most of those folks are too busy to run for political office and really have a higher calling. Which is to share the gospel with the lost and dying world.So I look at what a man says and what he has done and try to decide if that person is the best for the country, state, or county. In other words who will represent me.God Bless,
