Can Apostolics be Democrats?
 
Since the Democratic party platform is primarily liberal to the core, believing in:

Abortion on demand
Gay Marriage & gays as a special interest group
BIG government
More government control of citizen's lives
Silencing the Christian voice in America
Removing the 10 commandments

and a host of other causes that are un-biblical..........can a true Apostolic be a Democrat who believes in these things and please God?




Just wondering. This will be the first election that I will be voting as a registered Independent. :D

JamDat 12-14-2007 01:33 PM

I wouldn't think so, but the Republicans aren't much better.

My grandparents are, it appalls them that my father is republican, and they are the most godly, God-fearing people I know.

They are still in the mindset of the 40's & 50's, and no amount of arguing will convince them otherwise. These are people who have always worked themselves to the bone, they do not listen to radio, read the newspaper or watch TV, so they have no real concept of how much the world has changed, especially politically.

Yes, my deceased mother was one...So I don't appreciate the comments.

What about following people who start wars by lies, should a self respecting Christian vote for them...What about giving arms to terrorists in all areas of the world, but I will settle on Afghanistan and Nicaraugra...2 sides to every story. Btw, I have always voted republican, but that isn't my point.

No, Roosevelt had socialist leanings with his New Deal. He was viewed as a president for the working people, that is why so many old-timers are still Democrat despite all their current demonic positions.

Today FDR along with JFK would be considered conservative and Republican.

This is evidenced by the exact reasons Ronald Reagan switched from the Democratic party to the Republican party and further became the Godfather of the contemporary conservative movement. He could have been considered a Roosevelt Republican.

Cmon Ferd...
