What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

God's Word, the Holy Bible, establishes some planks that are most pertinent in our election of representatives and leaders. Never mind the personalities; look at platform planks!

In God's Word Hebrews are God's chosen people, Israel is God's chosen nation, Palestine is God's promised land for his chosen people. God promised that he would bless them that bless Israel, and curse them that curse Israel (Gen 12:1-3). Vote for leaders and representatives on a platform that will bless Israel.

In God's Word an individual has body, soul, and spirit at conception in the womb (Isa 49:5, Ps 22:10, 139:13). Vote for leaders and representatives on a platform that will protect the innocent in the womb.

In God's Word for a man to lie with another man is an abomination not a civil right (Lev 18:22).

In God's Word God created them male and female.. and male and female created he them (Gen 1:27, 5:2, Matt 19:4, Mark 10:6). God created physical organs, chromosomes, and attributes that determine which gender a person is; they do not get to choose which they want to be. Choosing a gender is not a civil right.

In God's Word God has ordained marriage to be between a male and a female and that the home established around that marriage, containing a father and a mother, is to be the stable environment for the conception, birth, rearing, and training of children (Gen 2:24, Eph 6:1-3).

Vote for leaders and representatives on a platform that will have a strong moral position on these issues.

When a candidate has his head on straight concerning these five issues most of his economic and legal renderings will fall in line with moral right. Finding a candidate, or sometimes even a party platform, that stands on all five of these Godly planks may be nigh to impossible, but finding the party platform that is diametrically opposed to all five is blatantly obvious. Vote smart this November.

For those with a stomach for two more Christian planks:

In God's Word the Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, was the creator and is the sustainer of all things (Col 1:16-17). Our environment and our climate are more controlled by him than by mere man and their ludicrous government regulations. Climate “science - so called” is completely Godless.

In God's Word the believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are commanded to not forsake the assembling of ourselves together into local, independent, autonomous bodies called churches (Heb 10:24-25). Laws, edicts, and policies that forbid such assembly are unGodly; and we ought to obey God rather than man.
     Christians need to hold these Godly planks close in every election of representatives.
