Can Democrats Be Christians?
By

If we ask that question to the majority of Democrats in America, they will respond by saying, “My grandfather and my grandmother were very strong Christians, and they were Democrats. They voted all their life as Democrats.” That is true. But what happens when the Democratic Party leaves the standards, doctrine, and beliefs that your grandparents held? Can grandpa and grandma continue to vote for them?
The answer may be yes, if they are not aware of the changes that have taken place in the party. Or no, because they already passed away a long time ago. The problem with the idea that since grandpa and grandma were strong Christians and Democrats, you must continue their legacy, is that you may not even know what the Democratic Party has become today.
We are not talking about the Democratic Party of John F. Kennedy’s days. We are talking about the Democratic Party of today. Yes, Democrats and Republicans were once on the right track, close to the zero mark between positive and negative ideologies. But over the years, the Democratic Party has moved left. Sadly, the Republicans have also moved left to appease voters, not realizing that this shift makes the early Democratic Party’s ideology now seem radical, extreme, or fundamental.
Christianity does not change. Its values do not change. The problem lies in the changing beliefs and doctrines of both Democrats and Republicans. Today, Democrats are no longer just a political party. They are more like a social communist organization. Meanwhile, most Republicans, whom we call RINOs (Republicans in Name Only), move toward the Democrats to appease the middle, whom the Bible calls lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, just in the middle. Both parties aim to capture that group.
This reminds me of a movie I saw a few years ago about a man who did not vote, yet the election depended entirely on his vote. If he voted Republican, the Republican would win. If he voted Democrat, the Democrat would win. Both sides tried desperately to influence him. His vote did not even go through the machine because of some technical problem, yet the future of the country depended on him.
The comedy unfolded as Republicans pretended to be 100% Democrats, and Democrats pretended to be 100% Republicans, all to gain his vote. That is exactly what is happening in America’s political arena today.
A few years ago, the MAGA movement arose, representing true Republicans going back to their roots, the Republicans, and even the Democrats of years ago, when America was truly great. MAGA means Make America Great Again, a call to return to the principles we once had before moving left ideologically.
What about Christianity and Politics?
Christianity is not what we make it; it is the teaching of the Bible. God gave us a standard in the Bible, and unlike political agendas, the Bible has not changed. Not from the days of John Kennedy or Reagan, but from the day it was written. It is the standard by which we measure our lives.
So, can Democrats be Christians? Can you truly follow the unchanging rules of God’s Word while voting Democrat? Let’s examine some of what the Democratic Party stands for and compare it to biblical standards.
God in the Democratic Party
During the Democratic Party convention for President Barack Hussein Obama’s second term, the Democratic Party convention actually voted to remove God from their platform. They initially voted to say, “We don’t want anything to do with God anymore as a Democratic Party.” Then, some wise men, whom I believe were led by the devil, said, “No, no, no! We cannot do that. We will lose all the Christians.” So they held another vote.
In the second vote, the convention again removed God, but then they lied and said God was back, simply to appease Christians who were gullible enough to believe it. Why? Because many were not strong, born-again Christians. They were still hanging on to a party that had long ago abandoned biblical principles.
The change in the Democratic Party did not happen overnight. It was gradual, like boiling a frog. You put the frog in normal water and slowly raise the heat. The frog relaxes, falls asleep, and eventually dies. This is what has happened to America politically. Democrats are now in the space of boiling, while Republicans are waking up, That is why MAGA exists.
What about Marriage and Morality?
The Bible is clear, “A man shall leave his father and mother and unite with his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” One man, one woman, for life.
But over the last 40-50 years, the Democratic Party has redefined marriage. Gays, lesbians, LGBTQ+, all these groups now challenge the biblical definition. Marriage is no longer simply between one man and one woman. Two men, two women, three men with one woman, four women with one man, all claim the right to marry.
The Democratic Party even challenges the concepts of man and woman. But men and women never change, physically, mentally, spiritually, or psychologically. Yet the party demands that society accept this new ideology. This creates a clear conflict between Christianity and Democrat’s liberal ideology.
Even children are affected. Johnny might not feel like a boy, or Susan might not feel like a girl. Through education and media, Democrats are reshaping children’s genders, even surgically, sometimes even secretly against parents’ wishes.
What about Abortion and Life?
Christianity teaches that God commanded Adam and Eve to “fill the earth”. But the Democratic Party promotes abortion, sometimes even at full term, contradicting God’s command. Medicine today allows a woman to take a pill that can terminate a pregnancy immediately after conception, or even remove a baby in the ninth month.
This is what the Democratic Party stands for. Christians are forced to choose: follow the Bible and refill the earth, or follow the Democratic Party and participate in mass abortion.
What about Immigration and America?
America was built on legal immigration. I myself immigrated 35 years ago and became a citizen 30 years ago. But the Democratic Party promotes illegal immigration. People enter without paperwork, sometimes criminals or jihadis seeking to harm Americans. Yet Democrats present them as people seeking freedom and a better life.
Meanwhile, legal immigrants wait for years to enter America, while illegal immigrants are welcomed immediately with housing, food, medical care, and even free education. During Barack Obama’s presidency, and continuing today, Democrats prioritize illegal immigrants for political power.
I personally experienced this. When my American-born wife Vicki was sick, she could not access programs that illegal immigrants received immediately. They offered me medical care and other help as an immigrant. But I refused to take government aid, relying on my hard work and God’s provision instead.
Republicans, by contrast, want immigrants to come through proper channels, vetted and integrated, so they contribute to the country rather than take from it.
Let’s talk about Christianity in the Church
Many people ask, “Brother Usama, how do I know if my church is conservative or liberal?” It’s simple. Invite me to speak at your church about Islam in America or ask your leaders to read this article from the pulpit. If they refuse, your church is not conservative. It is a liberal church.
Some preachers say, “We don’t mix politics in church.” But many biblical prophets and Christian leaders were political. They spoke against kings living in sin. That is the role of the church. If your preacher refuses to teach truth, separate yourself. Start your own home church. The church is the body of believers, not a building. Do not support wicked churches with your money or attendance.
Finally Voting and Political Responsibility
In the coming elections, you cannot say, “I vote for the individual, not the party.” Democrats stick together. Nancy Pelosi passed laws with 218 votes, not one Democrat opposing. There are no DINO Democrats, but there are plenty of RINO Republicans.
Do not vote for Democrats. They have left biblical principles long ago. There is no such thing as a good Christian Democrat. Voting for them helps fulfill a non-Christian, non-biblical agenda. Only vote for true conservatives who uphold biblical values.
