Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
MATTHEW 28:19-20
Can Christians be liberal? No! Eloheem is not liberal nor is Yeshua Hamashiach, nor is Ruach HaKodesh (God, Lord Messiah, Holy Spirit). The flood, the tower of babel, and Sodom and Gamorrah are examples of how un-liberal God is. The commandments reveal what He expects from those who plan to spend eternity with Him.
JAMES 1:5-8
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
I do not know a Christian with liberal ideology who is consistent with what they believe. Many Christians affiliate with the Democrat party, it has become very liberal. The Democrat party supports: abortion, homosexuality, same sex unions, teaching children about sexuality including trans-genderism and more anti-biblical lifestyles. The Christian Democrats I know do not support these ideas yet they consistently vote for liberal Democrats and condemn Conservatives; this what it means to be double- minded. When your words do not agree with your actions it is because you are inconsistent in your beliefs due to dual- thinking, double-mindedness.
In order to support liberalism you must ignore the Word of God. Every follower of Yeshua Hamashiach, Jesus the Messiah, should be Conservative.
Learned men and women present what they know, what they call facts, to people who accept what is said as truth. Many of these highly educated, impressively entitled individuals manipulate God’s words, or discount them all together, to accommodate what they declare to be an absolute truth.
ROMANS 3:3-4
For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: “That You may be justified in Your words, and may overcome when You are judged.”
If the college professors, political and religious leaders words do not agree with Scripture they are liars.
The Apostle Paul had very impressive credentials: he came from the right family, went to the right schools, and knew the right people. Yet, he declared the knowledge of Jesus was the most important thing to know; he considered his credentials dung (poop).
PHILIPPIANS 3:8 King James Version
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
Liberals, and yes moderates and some who have conservative view points put the wisdom of man above God’s word.
1 CORINTHIANS 2:2
For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
James said if you lack wisdom go to God and He will liberally give you what you need. He did not say: “turn on the news”, or “ask someone with a PhD.” If what you need to know is known by an individual; God will lead you to the person who has the knowledge.
Can a Christian be a Conservative? If your passion for politics is greater than your love of God the answer is: No! Does that mean we should all be moderate? No!
REVELATION 3:15-16Christians should be followers of Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach. To be conservative means to not be willing to allow just any idea to influence your life choices. You are not willing to accept every doctrine, ideology or bit of data presented as if it was the final answer.
“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
Many liberals declare they want to make sure everyone has “quality of life”. These intellectual thinking people groups do not want to end the lives of all babies in-utero, just those the parents don’t want. They don’t want to end the lives of all elderly, just the ones in which there is a consensus that they no longer need to live. Yet they object to the condemnation of those who have committed heinous crimes, preferring that they sit in jail forever. They also object to people defending their lives with weapons. How can a Christian align themselves with such confusion?
The missing ingredient in much of today's ideology is understanding. Just because a person with impressive credentials tells you something does not make it so. Knowledge by itself is dung, God will give you the wisdom as to how to apply that knowledge or if it should be rejected altogether. It is the wisdom of God that will lead to understanding. Once you understand what liberalism is all about you will know that a Christian cannot be a liberal.
PROVERBS 4:7
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.
