Letter to the editor: Is God Democrat or Republican?

Posted

Some in both political camps claim God is on their side, but it seems that more Republicans think He is a Republican. A Jesus flag flies next to a Trump flag in a yard near me. So, is God Democrat or Republican?

Joshua 5: He (Joshua) looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?” “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have come.”

John 18: Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world.”

Isaiah 55: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”



Job 38: Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said: “Who is this that obscures my plans with words without knowledge?”

Abraham Lincoln, at a time when our nation was radically divided said, “In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. … Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God; and each invokes his aid against the other … the prayers of both could not be answered. … The Almighty has his own purposes.”
