Pastor's ‘Christians don’t vote for Democrats’ post ignites controversy

Michie said:

A megachurch pastor in Texas has ignited controversy by claiming that Americans who vote for Democrats are not Christians.

Landon Schott, the senior lead pastor of Mercy Culture Church, a multi-campus congregation in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, made the remarks earlier this week in a video posted on Instagram. The video focused on his concerns about the Democratic Party's stance on abortion rights.

"I'm not a big Trump guy. I'm not a Republican … but there is only one party that is standing up at their convention saying that 'we're going to overturn Roe v. Wade.' Listen to me very clearly. I know people don't like this because most people aren't pastored, most people aren't confronted spiritually, and most pastors just care if people show up and give. And if they show up and give, then they don't care," Schott said in the video.

Leviticus 24:17
Whoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death
doesnt say it should take 20 to 30 years on death row.. but it gives them a chance to be forgiven and to come to the Lord. And if they are really sorry for their sins they will be forgiven like the thief was On the cross

A Warning from 2 Timothy 4:3 - The Gospel is not a Cafeteria

Thank you, Alex, for this thread! Whether it is in the proper forum is irrelevant to me as you have put forth Scripture and sound meditation on it... works well for me. :) A question that I often wonder about is when these Cafeteria Christians actually have moved beyond being Christians at all...

Not all Democrats are abortionists, but it does seem like the Democratic party has become darker over the past few decades, and especially over the past decade.

Republicans also have death penalties as well, so that is also death. In other words, both parties kill.

Abortion as a right is part of their party's platform. To support Democrats is to support their platform.

This is a false equivocation of insane proportions. There were 24 inmates executed in the US last year. In that same year, and keep in mind this is after Roe v. Wade was overturned, more than 1,000,000 babies were killed in abortions. Even if you think capital punishment is immoral, the scale of that issue is less than a rounding error in talking about the abortion issue. The two aren't remotely comparable.

You all know I am big on "sins of omission." As a very involved Christian what I see most Republicans doing are:
Neglecting the very visible, heartbreaking, tragic needs of the living and focusing on the pre-born.
Or perhaps championing the pre-born to justify neglecting the living.
The sins of omission cry out to us. They break our hearts, especially when our friends and family are affected.
So when a preacher tells us we need to close our eyes to the tragedies he dismisses, he us creating more nones.
Hypocrisy creates nones.
