Should Christians Join the
Republican Party or the American Heritage
Party?
Editor, The Sun
(March 1998 - In response to a forum asking if it was a good
thing that some Evangelical conservatives switched from the
Republican Party to the "American Heritage Party". The
last paragraph was edited out by the Sun and not published.)
Followers of Jesus will always be manipulated by the rulers of
this world as long as they allow themselves to be entangled in
worldly conflicts. The Republicans have used politically zealous
Christians and so will the U.S. Taxpayers Party. The worldly
tendency is to see a conflict in terms of "good guys and bad
guys", pick a side and jump on. Christians have been seduced
through the centuries to do this very thing, not realizing that
there are no "good guys".
Satan works both sides of every worldly conflict. The only way
followers of Jesus can do what we are called to do is by pulling
out of the world system's "Hegelian Dialectic". We are
called to a heavenly citizenship in which we are ambassadors for
Christ to this foreign world system; rescuing people out of this
system, instead of trying to reconstruct the world system.
This state's affiliate to the U.S. Taxpayers Party is yet
another example of "red- white-and-blue" idolatry: the
American Heritage Party. This idolatry is based upon a false
gospel of "morality" and "cultural values".
But there is only one Gospel as referred to by Paul, "For I
determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and
Him crucified."
Rather than building the Kingdom of God, which Jesus said is
not of this earth, Christian political activists yoke themselves
with the Harlot of Revelation 17: the counterfeit-Christian
religious system that prostitutes itself with the political and
economic rulers of this world.
