How the Republican Party Co-Opts the Apostate Church and How They Try to Co-Opt Your Vote

By Anthony Wade

Enough of the fake "biblical values" organizations disguised as Christian but are nothing but carnal political outfits.

So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. - Galatians 6:10 (ESV)

With one month to go before Election Day, the pressure to co-opt the Christian vote will grow with each passing day. We will continue to be inundated about how this is the most crucial election of our lifetime, until the next of course. The powers that be in the Republican Party know full well they cannot win without convincing Christians that their evil candidates are not only better than the evil Democratic candidates but that they are somehow righteous. The leaders in the apostate church are fully in bed with the republicans, although they will dance around it and pretend they are only promoting "values." As much as they continue to bombard us, we must respond in kind so people are not led astray. Make no mistake about it beloved, political idolatry is the final idol of the church age. It continues to shipwreck faith every day. Its foundation is built on the sand of this world in its carnality. It is time to respond in kind, with the truth, and push back the forces of darkness that insist that man is the solution for any of the problems of this world. So, let us reason once more through the latest Christo-political hack job linked above by Charisma News.

"American citizens of all backgrounds are seeing the results of a country that kicked out God.

With the removal of the Ten Commandments and prayer from the government, citizens now suffer beneath a regime that does not honor God or the founding principles that built this nation.

Christians across the country have noticed a lack of attendance by fellow believers at the polls, many of whom believe that Christians should be apolitical. If that were the case this nation would never have been founded, slavery would have continued and the Axis powers would not have been defeated. It was Christian principles and morality that led the political charge for freedom and against slavery, socialism and communism." - Charisma News

What absurdity. This nation would not have been founded if Christians were apolitical? Go back and understand the American Revolution and you will not find a single Christian motivation. This was an economic rebellion, in violation of Romans 13 I might add, designed to end economic tyranny. Does anyone remember no taxation without representation? The Boston Tea Party was actually about tea! Christian principles and morality led the charge against slavery? What about the first hundred years of our existence running the slave trade? What about the fact that southern Christians would use the bible to justify slavery! This is not just revisionist history beloved, it is a flat out lie. Led the charge against communism? Yes, by the likes of Senator Joseph McCarthy who destroyed lives by lying about people. Not exactly something to be bragging about in the name of Jesus. Defeated the Axis powers? What school did these guys go to? The insinuation is that the secular world could not have recognized the inherent evil of Hitler's Germany if not for Christians? Please stop embarrassing yourself.

As for the whining factor. I simply do not understand why the church allows these people to minimize the God we serve. My God is omnipotent! He cannot be "kicked out of schools." Removing a monument to something most Christians couldn't even get right does not change who God is in this country. Think of the utter stupidity of what is being said. That because the Supreme Court ruled that you cannot force all children to pray to your God that we now are "suffering" under a regime that does not honor God? Can you name any regime of man that has honored God? Do you think Donald Trump's regime honored God? George W. Bush starting a war based on lies that killed over a million people? Reagan and the hostages? If you are thinking that your choices were not "as bad" as the other side then you are defining the lesser of two evils. God is most definitely not impressed with your perception of and forceful support of evil, no matter how "lesser" you have deemed it to be. Christians should be apolitical because Jesus was. Let me say that again for the scripturally impaired. Jesus was apolitical. During His years of ministry there was real political persecution being visited upon His people by the oppressive Roman Empire, yet Jesus did nothing about it. Why? Because His kingdom was not of this world and He came to deliver them from a far more dangerous enemy, the devil and sin. The stakes have not changed since then. Whatever panic some might feel when examining the political woes of this age they pale in comparison to the war against sin and the eternal consequences. Joe Biden is not the devil. Seriously, he is not. He does not even compare at all to someone like Emperor Nero. Yet NAR dominionists want us to believe that while Jesus did nothing about the evil Roman emperors of His day, He now is apoplectic about Joe Biden. That dog don't hunt.

"These days the United States hardly resembles the country founded on Judeo-Christian values, and part of the reason is the apathetic approach many Christians take toward voting. The organization, My Faith Votes, looks to change this attitude. They stand on the premise that it is not the nature of Christians to sit idly by while the world continues moving. When Christians do nothing and have no say in social or political discourse, citizens have to deal with problems made by a godless society. My Faith Votes helps Christians gain the information they need to make sound, educated decisions before an election is held." - Charisma News

First let us always remember that this country was most definitely not founded upon Judeo-Christian values. The vast majority of the founding fathers would not be considered brothers today. They were deists who believed in a higher power but not Christ as God. Thomas Jefferson actually rewrote the bible to remove any references to the deity of Jesus Christ so to pretend he was "Christian" is a historical absurdity. As for apathy, Charisma News is so myopic in their politics they assume anyone who disagrees does not care when the opposite is true. They act as if Christians could not prayerfully arrive at the decision to vote Democratic, third party, write in a candidate or even abstain from voting altogether. Let's go back to 2012 when the choices were the liberal Christian in Barack Obama or the Mormon, Mitt Romney. Now, any Christian worth their salt knows that Mormonism is a Satanic cult but the Charisma news, Christo-political powers that be insisted that God's choice, was the Satanic cult member. The Billy Graham Organization even removed Mormonism from their list of cults in the run up to the election. Now, I am ok with someone deciding that the policies of Obama may have been too liberal for their beliefs but the Mormon? This was the year that God exposed the hypocrisy of the Christo-political forces. This was when it became obvious that their choices were solely based on the "R" next to their name. Right now, in Georgia there is a Republican candidate for Senate running on banning all abortions nationwide who was just exposed for having paid for an abortion some year ago. He has had four children with four different women, and his own son just called him out yesterday for his rank hypocrisy. That is not even discussing his previous scandal of holding a loaded gun to his wife's head and threatening to blow her brains out, which he conveniently cannot remember. The response from the Republican Party was to stand by their man and the church in Georgia? They held prayer vigils for him to pray against the enemy coming against him. His opponent by the way is the pastor from Dr Martin Luther King's Baptist church. Absolutely frightening.

My Faith Votes is not a Christian organization. It is first and foremost a political organization. It is an extension of the Republican Party. Sure, they try and dance around it and pretend they just want you to pray but when they speak about voting your values that is code speak for voting Republican. They do not even try to hide it as their two Chairmen are Mike Huckabee and Ben Carson! Huckabee is an unapologetic Republican disguised as a Christian. He likes palling around with Ted Nugent who once told Hillary Clinton to suck on his machine gun and likes to sing about female genitalia. Carson served in the Trump Administration and for the record is a Seventh Day Adventist, which modern Christianity also deemed a cult. Gee, with Chairmen like that I am sure they will be fair and balanced! As if that is not enough, My Faith Votes is partnered with TBN and Daystar, the two most egregiously false networks today. They boast support from false teachers such as David Jeremiah, Sammy Rodriguez, Tony Evans, and Ronnie Floyd. As well as other prominent Republicans such as Allen West and Ken Starr (recently deceased). So, the man who wrote the infamous Starr Report against Bill Clinton was a partner.

Christians who choose to not vote for the evil on the right or who may even abstain are not "sitting idly by." It is insulting to God to assume prayer is meaningless but then again, it insulting to think that God cannot handle any election outcome. Consider the implications of the beliefs expressed above. The inference is if you would just vote for Republicans, then we would no longer be living in a godless society. Wow. Beloved, Republicans are just as ungodly as Democrats. Changing legislation does not change man. Adjudicating what you view as favorable does not change man. Society will remain godless with the only chance of escape being the gospel. This is the fundamental core of our beliefs. What My Faith Votes does is not educate but rather indoctrinate. It convinces us that our solution is found in man, or more specifically men and women of one particular political party. Their choices however are still men, faithless, evil, men.

"According to My Faith Votes, the misguided belief that faith is a private matter causes many Christians not to go to the polls, "As a result, more than 25 million Christians who are registered to vote do not vote in presidential elections, and as many as 65 million Christians do not vote in local elections." This lack of turnout allows for politicians who are firmly against God to pass legislation that promotes abortion, same-sex marriage, child mutilation (transgender surgeries) and restricts freedom of the citizenry." - Charisma News

This is what the Republican Party uses to co-opt your vote. They choose three very controversial wedge issues and drive a wedge between Christians and the unsaved. Between Christians and the very people who need the gospel the most. The truth is I can pick three subjects that their side is not good on and present them as moral imperatives too. Impoverishing poor people, treating migrants like trash, choosing personal profits over helping people are all biblical subjects that Jesus taught about often. Do not get confused by their purposeful muddying of the waters. This is not about choosing sides. This is about realizing that all are evil and none chase after God as the bible says. Maybe your default position is Republican - that's fine! But to have no ability to pivot if let's say they nominate a Satanic Cult member means you are part of a cult yourself. If you still stand behind the man with four kids from four women who likes to threaten women with loaded guns then maybe you are already in a cult. By the way, pivoting does not have to mean voting for the other side. It can mean realizing that the only righteous choice is to decline to pick one of the two evil choices.

"With another election season in full swing, My Faith Votes CEO Jason Yates gave an interview with CBN and highlighted some of the key issues motivating people to vote this year, including abortion: "I think for many Christians, life is a primary issue when they go to the ballot box," Yates explains. "I think it will remain so and it will continue to be a motivating factor in not only whether they go vote, but how they vote." Another key area for many voters who are parents, is the stripping of parental rights that school boards and teacher unions are trying to legislate:

"Parental rights and what's happening in our schools to assimilate kids into acceptance of a very secular progressive point of view that accepts 20-some genders and ignores biblical truth," Yates says. "Where parents are excluded and not even told when their kids are going through counseling to convert or transition to other genders. "I think there's a lot on Christian parents' minds as they go to the polls," he surmised. By taking part in the civic discourse, Yates believes that Christians can not only make an impact on the outcome of elections, but be an outright determining factor: "If every Christian would commit to this process," he says, "the body of Christ could truly determine outcomes. I'm not saying right or left, but being influential in what happens in elections and in our government." Yates concluded that, by voting, Christians are obeying the Word of God as instructed in Galatians 6:10, which states, "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who are of the household of faith."

It would be good for the soul of the nation, its citizens and the world to have an America with godly believers contributing to our government. Christians can help make this happen, but they have to show their faith by their works (James 2:18)." - Charisma News

You're not saying right or left? C'mon. The arrogance of lying right to our face should not be lost on anyone. Neither should the abuse of scripture. Galatians 6:10, which is alsao the key verse for today has nothing to do with politics. He is actually inferring here that the only way to do good to all people electorally is to vote as he does. That is not educated beloved. His faith is still heavily rooted in man. Albeit, he believes there can be "godly" believers in government and that this will somehow change the world. It will not of course because ultimately, power corrupts, even the most well intended. We also do not know if personal profession of faith means anything from inherently deceitful people. Dennis Hastert reigned in Congress for decades as an evangelical Republican. Then in old age it was discovered that he had been a child serial rapist. Oops. That is what happens when you place your faith in man. The current standard bearer for the Republican Party had an affair with a porn star while his third wife was pregnant so please, save me the self-rightous nonsense! Jesus is coming back soon and He is not going to want to hear about your efforts to restore parental rights, how you picketed abortion clinics, or campaigned to elect your self-perceived lesser evil. The Democratic Party is not the Roman Empire and Joe Biden is not Nero. Keep in mind that Jesus did nothing about the oppression from Rome when He walked the earth. It is true that we must have works as a result of our faith but voting is not a "work." Anyone who tries to convince you other wise is just rying to co-opt your vote. Be smarter than that and stick to the bible.
