So don't get sucked into the fake religion of political conservatism.
It's not real Christianity.
It's a fake Christianity that's the mainstream view.
Don't put political views over the Word of God.
Let's go through some specific views and step on some more toes.
How about some specific views where people get their views warped by politicians
instead of going with the Word of God?
You know, how about in the area of warfare?
You know, what does the Bible teach?
You know, the Bible teaches that we should be peaceful.
And the Bible says in James chapter 4 verse 1,
From whence come wars and fightings among you?
Come they not hence even of your lust that war in your members?
You lust and have not.
You kill and desire to have and cannot obtain.
You fight and war, yet you have not because you ask not.
You ask and receive not because you ask amiss that you may consume it upon your lust.
According to the Bible, warfare comes from greedy people
wanting to have things that aren't theirs.
You lust and desire to have and you fight and war and kill to get those things.
But yet today, many Christians in America, they get all riled up
and they want to literally bomb and kill women and children, civilians.
Because they get all riled up from the leaven of Herod.
They get on Herod's program.
They get on Herod's agenda.
You know, Jesus Christ came not to destroy men's lives but to save them.
And it's not our job to be caught up in the affairs of this life
and to be so worried about who's in charge
of some piece of ground over in Europe or the Middle East.
Who cares?
Hey, we need to be fighting in the Lord's army.
We need to be pushing for the things that further the kingdom of God,
not just the American empire.
150 bases in 150 countries all over the world.
Our empire all over the world and we got to go seize the oil over here
and we got to seize the opium over here
and we've got to just get involved in every fight and every conflict.
No, my friend, we should not be pro-war as Christians as garbage.
I'm all for defense.
I'm all for defending ourselves.
But going to the other side of the world
and fighting preemptive battles against our enemies is wicked.
It's not godly.
And by the way, killing civilians is wicked too.
There I said it.
Killing civilians is not righteous.
That's not what the Bible teaches.
How can we as New Testament, Bible-believing Christians
just become these bloodthirsty war hawks
that just want to bomb Iran into the stone age
and kill them all and let God sort them out?
That's not a Christian attitude.
We should, you know, we should fantasize about evangelizing Iran
and not fantasize about nuking Iran.
Amen?
