Question
Hi,
I was always wondering..why are some Christians Democrats? I may be understanding wrong, but I have always thought that Democrats were more liberal/supported views like pro choice, etc. Is there something that I am overlooking? Thank you for spending your time to answer this.

Answer
Hi Michelle,
  I am a baffled as you are about Bible believing Christians supporting the Democratic party.   The issue is that the platform of the Democrats is pro abortion, same sex marriage, and homosexual.  All these things are plainly sin according to the Bible.  So a Christian who loves the Lord should be against these sin and certainly not support candidates or a party that is forcing them on society.
  Recent polls report that about 73 percent of Americans say they are Christians, which means that many who profess to be saved voted for a president who openly was pro abortion, same sex marriage and supports the homosexual agenda.
  I have talked with several Democrats and they said they did not agree with these sinful things, but that they believed the Democrats would be better for them financially.    So the issue with them was it is okay to support sin if one benefits financially.
  Of course that does not stand up to God's word.  God word says we are to trust live righteous lives and trust in the Lord for our welfare.
  God says "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you" (2 Corinthians 6:17)
   Further God says "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14)
   There are Republicans who also support these sins as well, but the difference is the Republican party has so far denounced them.  However, whether a candidate is Republican or Democrat their position on these sins is the real issue.
   We are clearly in the end times and experience a growing apostasy in many churches.  "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition" (2 Thessalonians 2:3)   The falling away is apostasy when those who profess to know God, turn away into sin and false doctrine.
So what we are seeing is a "sight of the times."
   For those of us who love God and His word we will remain true to Him and continue to look for the rapture.   Further we have the Lord with us to guide and strengthen us.
   Thank you for your question.  It is a good question that many professing Christians should think about and pastor should address in the pulpit.
If you have further questions or comments please write.
