You are really giving Christians a bad name. Stop embarrassing yourself.

Jesus was Jewish. Jesus was humble. Would Jesus say the people who follow him are superior, or would he tell you to stop being arrogant, much like the Pharisees, and to pray in private? Think about it. Nobody, not even Jesus, likes a braggart.

Matthew 23:13 "But woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you shut the kingdom of heaven against men, for you yourselves do not enter in; and those that are going in, you suffer not to enter. "

Vaca, you are not preaching the Gospel. You are acting like the Pharisees.

When churches start telling their members who to vote for it's time to tax them. Anyone who uses the phrase God told me to run for office is hoping that those who believe will be suckered into voting for them.
It's a scam.

How do you know churches are telling its member who to vote for? People can make up their own mind, and obviously they vote for the candidate they like. I've been to many churches, politics is never discussed.

Obviously I would only vote for a devout Christian, or anyone who promotes Christianity, for labor unions and for work/life balance. I seldom vote for republicans.

Ive noticed that Catholic churches that I've been to would disseminate a Litmus Test brochure in the foyer. It would have a column with the church's beliefs and then check off which candidate (s) agreed with the church's beliefs. It's a backdoor way of endorsing a candidate. When Texas had a vote to enact a constitutional ban on same sex marriage, they OPENLY endorsed that because the law only stipulates that the religious org cannot endorse a CANDIDATE, but is free to endorse non-candidate issues.
