Bible Party of the USA

Be careful not to overly focus on the Epistles of Paul. It's more important to listen to Jesus, than to listen to Paul. Martin Luther, the founder of Protestantism and a distinctly Biblical Christianity, disliked the synoptic gospels, and favored Paul. Be careful. Jesus trumps Paul. Jesus comes first, even before the Bible.

I would not join the bible party of the USA

Because I am a servant of God and our savior Jesus Christ.

I know that the bible clearly says no government of man will ever prosper or have the best interests of its citizens in mind.

Indeed it is folly on my part to follow politics at all because I have read the end of the book and I know how the world ends and turns out.:dunno:

Faith without action is dead.

I've read to the last verse also. I know how it turns out as well as you. The war was truly won more than 2000 years ago by our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Christ.

God chooses the leaders of nations. God could have made the Israelites accept Jesus. He didn't. They were called to do something. Their part was to accept their Messiah. They didn't.

The Apostles who did, were constantly being called to action. They wrote of the need to put faith into action. Action is the outward sign of obedience, belief, and faith.

Brothers and sisters in Christ need to support each other. One way to ensure that support in a representative government is to organize so our values (God's values) are considered in public policy development.

The United States has a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. If people who honor God's Word stay out of the government and leave their government to pagans, they have only themselves to blame for the result. Ask youself, is this what God's Word calls us to do? There is no religious test for representative participation in the US government. That is good because the government could change the test to what ever religion had gained the most power in the temporal plane. As Christians and Jews we have an obligation to obey God. To obey God, we must know God’s Word. We can verify if Children of Israel know God’s Word.

We are called to put that knowledge into action. James 1:22 – 1:25, “But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his own face in a mirror; for he looks at himself, goes away, and right away forgets what kind of man he was. But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer who acts—this person will be blessed in what he does.”

If we can’t obey God because our government rules so, then we must become fully engaged, and place members of the Body of Christ in government. One way to do that is to leave it to the present system of secular political parties. Think how that has worked in the USA to create conditions in which God’s Word can be obeyed only with difficulty.

If a political organization is based on secular ideals and embraces evil thoughts and practices then Children of Israel who enter those organizations with the intent of becoming leaders and changing those organizations are themselves changed by the time they become leaders of the organizations. This change is insidious, happening over time and being nearly unnoticeable to the person undergoing the change.

Another way to place God’s children in government is to establish a political party that is based on God’s Word and requires all its members to obey God’s Word. God’s Word is then the corporate culture of the party. It changes members of the party to conform to God’s Word. If they waiver through interaction with secular entities, the party itself reinforces God’s influence and negates the temporal influence.

Really? And who's Bible would be in charge...The Catholic Bible? The Episcopal Bible? The Baptist Bible? Maybe the Mormon's Bible (and that's a whole 'nurther chapters, and then some, isn't it?)....No, I like the concept of separation of church and state...which allows for freedoms....freedom of religious affiliation and conviction, or the lack thereof.
When one man's church or philosophy dominates this nation, it will be the beginning of the end, for it will be the church of the Antichrist, as foretold in scripture...and I'm in no particular "rush" for that to occur.
I reject it , out of hand.

There is only one Bible. There are two testaments. Both are congruent. The new testament did not abolish the old.

Your remark indicates you mistake denominations within Christianity with being a Christian and God's Word. Being a member of a Christian denomination does not necessarily mean you are a Christian.

It sounds more like you like freedom from religion and religious conviction. Asd long as government is independent of God's values, government will be amoral and serve no one but evil. God's Word provides God's values.

Chistianity and Judaism are technically not religions. They are relationships with God based on one of the covenants/testaments.

please give a example of how the laws of this country make it impossible for the individual Christian to obey the laws of God. ?

Or for the church not to obey God?

Keep in mind I am not talking about abortion being legal or gay unions being legal. Because there is no law in this country that says a christian has to have a abortion or be gay for that matter.

So how do the laws of the country affect how the individual christian obeys the laws of God? I am interested to know, because I realize I live in a state that is largely christian and we tend to live and let live , so may be in other states its not the same.:dunno:

That's rich! Most of these so-called Christian zealots, are among the most intolerable and hateful people I have ever encountered.

This would be coming from someone that was hateless and tolerant huh, LOL.

Rather a government that is governed by God fearing folk, than one dictated by something like a Bible Party USA, totally disregarding and dismissing any others who may believe differently, which is their right by The Constitution of the USA....you would, in fact, dissolve that right, in lieu of allegiance to your philosophy....Christian Fascism, so to speak.

In response to your assertion that "Christianity and Judaism are technically not religions"
Wikipedia, which has more credibility than you cites, " Judaism and Christianity are two closely related Abrahamic religions that in some ways parallel each other and in other ways fundamentally diverge in theology and practice. Whereas the article on the Judeo-Christian tradition emphasizes continuities and convergences between the two religions, this article emphasizes the widely diverging views held by Judaism and Christianity.

The Bible is also open to interpretation...if not, why is there the need for different sermons from different clergymen, on different days of the week, in different churches, to different congregations? Seems there are differing POV's, when it comes to scripture, and it's meaning, and message.
