I’m so sorry, and saddened, to hear about your experience. I wish I could say it’s a rare or unique one but it isn’t. Political orientation isn’t something, in itself, that should result in what has happened to you. There are a few generalizations associated with political parties in this nation that are directly relevant, the issue of abortion for one, however what has happened seems to be akin to saying that all black people are criminals, or all white people are privileged, or all native Americans are drunks, or any number of similar stereotypical generalizations. It seems that a more reasonable response would have been to ask about your thoughts on the political party’s stance related to such things. To adopt a position of ‘superiority’ or similar as you have described is clearly denounced in scripture, regardless of what your responses would have been to the questions if they were asked.

We are specifically instructed to not think of ourselves as any better than anyone else, not think of ourselves as wise, etc. rather to think of ourselves as less than others. We are told to instruct / admonish with scruipture, to build others up in knowledge, correct others, etc. not to adopt a superiority complex and procede to alienate and ignore. Unfortunately, none of us are perfect and we all struggle with falling short of the mark so, we will always see the types of things that happened to you. It’s very unfortunate, and disappointing, that the leadership has not intervened accordingly.

Can you see their hypocrisy? They have gone against scripture themselves in their response, and subsequent conduct, of what amounts to an assumption of presumably your approval of abortion or some other element associated with that political party’s views. See it for what it is. This is not a reflection of God’s will. Not even mentioning the fact that it’s all irrelevant as the real human-wielded power in this world is outside of this nation’s government; but that’s a completely seperate discussion about deception, living in lies, duality paradigm, divide and conquer, hegelian dialectec, etc.

What to do? You could walk away, wash your hands of it and seek fellowship online with any number of church organizations. What is God’s will? Approach someone with relevant scripture for the purpose of correction, be the hands and feet of Jesus and help those who have erred. Seek a meeting with those involved, individually, and take it to the elders / leadership of the church if after the discussion they are unwilling to repent. It’s not a confrontational interaction but one of genuine concern for the spiritual health of others, although it will almost certainly be received and interpreted as a confrontation because it’s God – in His truth – confronting spiritual elements of darkness controlling those attitudes and thoughts. It is indeed a spiritual war; bring scripture and don’t take it personally if / when you are unable to ‘get through to them.’

Lord, I pray Your will in this; please lead this person according to Your purposes and glorify Yourself in and through them. Please give courage, strength, empowerment, guidance and the words to speak. Thanks and praise be unto Your name forever, Lord. Amen.

May God’s grace and peace be with you, always, Allie 🙂

Dear Lord as Allies seeks to grow in you Lord may she always look to you and your word and the promises and teachings you show us. In the loving name of Jesus Christ we pray. Dear Allie man will always disappoint you but, God never will. There are so many other ways to celebrate the community of Christ together. Live on The Internet with interactive services. Bible studies and group meetings are available. Seek to find that comfort that you are looking for with other believers in fellowship.

Oh and I forgot to mention, this dear friend of mine loves the Lord and is a very good Christian and a man I respect SO MUCH. He is a good, good man. Yes good Christians do and did support the Biden Presidency.

Hi Allie, You’re right. God loves everyone and is not politically bent. (See Joshua 5:13-14) I am so sorry you are experiencing other Christians acting unloving. There is a protocol God set for times such as this. Read Mathew 18 and do what God says. My heart breaks for you because I know first hand what it’s like to be hurt by the very people you love and trust and look to for guidance and community. Know you are not alone; we are standing with you along with the greats of the Bible who were wrongfully accused and mistreated by others including Joseph and Jesus. Keep being a Christian. Remember the only litmus test you have is Jesus as a standard with which to live by.
