I get it you don't want to look at the Bible, just pick and choose verses to try to imply that it means something that it doesn't.
Thus far you've refused to address the pertinent points in the following:
From my experience US Christians who know God back the conservative politicians for two issues:
Republicans, when compared to Democrats... hold to Biblical morality when it comes to social issues
I'd be interested in seeing how being against paying a living wage "hold[s] to Biblical morality".
Stand for small government...
In your mind, is this Biblical?
... and allowing the free practice of religion.
Are Muslims included?
You keep tossing out vacuous claims in order to avoid actually addressing the pertinent points and questions of my posts because you don't want to admit that you're wrong.

Maybe. If you are correct then you attacking Divegeester would be considered a cancer, both of you being profesed Christians. If you are not correct [which is what I think], then discussions between members of the body of Christ is a healthy practice and helps to eliminate false doctrines. Paul and the Apostles were very careful to remove such false doctrines and were extremely harsh on those who violated the principles of the the doctrine of Christ.
you think you are part of a loving body of Christ or something else?

But the same why you do not attack anyone, neither do I. How is it you label my discussions different from yours.

I don't spend most of my time going after Christians, that would be you and others.
If they claim to be Christians then they are either deceived or are wolves in sheep's clothing.

I like to think all things are possible. I ve had the pleasure to meet some wonderful people in my lifetime. I have a close friend of mine who has never been much of a bible thumper, infact I doubt he has ever read it. yet of all my friends, I have never met anyone so selfless. When he sees trouble, he jumps right in with no care about himself. I have heard ...[text shortened]... and when the moment is over, he is back to his usual - partying and finding a lady for the night
Libtards have no problem with sexual immorality. It is one of their identifying characteristics.

Irrelevant. My point stands.
God does not expect perfection. Can you quote anywhere the Bible says that He does.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". That means none of us on our own accord are righteous enough and we all fall short of the glory of God.

Originally posted by Rajk999Isaiah 59:2: "But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear."
How does that mean that God expects perfection?
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God".
Therefore, the person who lived a 'good life' by human standards is still a sinner by God's standards. Obviously, a "good person" has not sinned as much as a person who purposely rebelled against God his whole life. But it is not the amount of sin that is the issue. Rather, it is sin itself. Any sin is sufficient to bring damnation.(The wages of sin is death)
Second, the sacrifice of Jesus (who was God in flesh, John 1:1,14; Colossians 2:9) is of such tremendous value that it can clean the sins of someone who sinned only a little sin as well as someone who sinned a great deal.
Without the cleansing sacrifice of Christ on the cross (which is received by faith), nobody will be able to stand before the infinitely holy presence of God, no matter how good they were on earth.
