To be fair, a savvy liberal may point
to the remaining three deadly sins as sins of the Conservatives; Greed, Pride
and Gluttony. However, there is a very important distinction. Conservative
leaders are not purveyors of these sins. They are purveyors of Liberty, with
which some do choose sin but that is a personal choice. That is the
price of freedom; responsibility. The Liberals encourage sloth with their
entitlement state mentality. They encourage envy and anger with their politics
of division. They encourage lust with their vociferous promotion of abortion,
birth control and alternative sexual lifestyles. Conservatives encourage
self-reliance, hard work, virtue and personal charity in lieu of forced sanction
of dependency.
In Galatians 5, Paul warns the
churches of Galatia not to return to the yoke of slavery. The slavery in this context
is the slavery of sins of the flesh. He reminds them, “For you were called to
freedom, Brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the
flesh, but through love be servants of one another.” The point is that God
gave us freedom, but we must be virtuous and guard against squandering our
freedom with sin. This is also where we are warned that we ‘reap what we sow’.
All men are accountable for their own sin. It is not collective salvation.
This is very important. The sins of the flesh are revealed:
“Now the works of the flesh are plain:
immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife,
jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissention, party spirit, envy, drunkenness,
carousing, and the like. I warn you as I warned you before, that those who do
such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God.” Galatians 5, 19-21
Read those again. Now tell me; which
party best represents the sins of the flesh? It is very clear to me that
conservatives actively seek to provide Liberty, by which individuals may either
embrace the sins of the flesh or reject them; and alone reap what they sow, be
it Heaven or Hell. Conversely, Liberals seek to promote mass sin of the flesh; immorality, impurity, enmity, strife,
jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissention, party spirit, envy, drunkenness,
carousing, and the like; thereby collectively condemning ever larger
numbers of souls to their individual damnation. How can this possibly be
defined as anything but evil? The modern Democrat Party is the party of evil.
Make no mistake, we are all sinners.
We all have our demons we must fight and our own path to God’s grace.
Republicans must embrace the conservative message and protect the freedom that
God has given us. It is only on this level field of liberty that we may all
have the singular opportunity to exercise that freedom in a way that pleases
our God. Otherwise we do part of the Devil’s work for him by encouraging what
is already excruciatingly hard to resist.
While there is plenty of room for
improvement in the Republican Party, it has become abundantly clear. There are
two paths available to the American people. A path of individual freedom to
pursue love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness and
self-control; or a path of evil which celebrates envy and divides the flock and
sells the souls of the many for the power of the few. Choose wisely. The wages
of sin is death of a great nation.
