Should Christians Vote Red?

As Christians, sometimes we wonder if we should vote, who we should vote for, and why. Politics can be messy and some of us try to avoid the conversation at all costs. However, I do believe Christians are called to speak up and speak for the truth. We have to be informed. In this post, I have included some of the policies Trump stands for that align with the Word of God. As Christians, voting for truth, matters more than voting out of habit, personal preferences, and so much more. Knowing the facts and why is super important. All voters need to be informed voters. The media only shares what they want you to see and it can be extremely biased. If you do not do your research, then you may be an uninformed voter. I am also going to create a PDF for this and add it to the website for easy sharing.

Abortion:

As a Christian, this policy alone should be why you vote for Trump. Kamala Harris’ entire campaign is centered around the killing of innocent children and she calls it, “Women’s Reproductive Freedoms.” On the debate stage, she smiled as she talked about abortion. It is sickening what is happening and we need to know and be aware. If she truly cared for women’s right and health, she would start by caring for them in the womb.

Trump may not stand where every Christian stands on abortion, but it is a step in the right direction. Here is a part of his Policy on Law and Liberty:

“President Donald J. Trump appointed nearly 300 federal judges to interpret the Constitution as written and preserve the extraordinary vision of our founding fathers. He confirmed three strong Constitutionalists to the United States Supreme Court who will ensure the law is upheld equally, fairly and without political prejudice for all of our citizens. President Trump’s three appointees delivered the biggest win for life in a generation in overturning Roe v. Wade and expanded the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. President Trump will continue to nominate highly qualified prosecutors, judges, and justices who believe in enforcing the law, not their own political agenda. He will also always defend your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, and uphold your religious liberty, including the Constitutional right to pray in public schools.”

Trump appointed those judges who was able to overturn Roe v. Wade and hand it over to the States. Trump has said he doesn’t believe in abortion, but does believe in the exceptions. While many Christians have issues with this, we have to think that Trump also may not be on the same moral compass as us, and he is a politician. He wants to win the vote and majority and even some Christians still struggle with the exceptions. However, I can say without a doubt that less babies will die under Trump’s presidency than under Kamala Harris.

I have linked a podcast that also goes through this as well. Listen to it, and don’t keep scrolling.

Kamala Harris also had an abortion clinic on wheels at the DNC. Many of these abortions performed are harmful to the mother, and is why some of these women are dying like Amber Thurman and Candi Miller. The media twists this to make you believe it is because of the laws, but in reality it is because of the pills and the malpractice of doctors. You can purchase an abortion pill anywhere online via telehealth, and many of these pills come from other countries. Sometimes these can include deadly substances like fentanyl. Click here to read.

Trump has a multitude of wise advisors around him and God can do anything. Trump could get in office, and he have a burden on his heart to get rid of all abortions. He is already moving in the right direction and he took action by appointing the 3 judges his last presidency.

Scripture Says:

What does Scripture say for us to do? CHOOSE LIFE! I have added some Scriptures, and this is not even all of them.

"Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!"

-Deuteronomy 30:19-20

"Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 'Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born, I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.'"

Jeremiah 1:4-5

“You shall not murder.”

-Exodus 20:13

Yet you are he who took me from the womb;
you made me trust you at my mother’s breasts.
On you was I cast from my birth,
and from my mother’s womb you have been my God.

Psalm 22:10

For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.

Psalm 139:13-16

"The Lord called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name."

Isaiah 49:1

“So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.”

Genesis 1:27

There is also a passage in Jeremiah that discusses people sacrificing their children to the god, Baal. They would pass their children though the fire. Today is no different, and while it may not be the god, Baal, it is the god of self. It says, “They have filled this place with the blood of innocents.”

“You shall say, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing such disaster upon this place that the ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle. Because the people have forsaken me and have profaned this place by making offerings in it to other gods whom neither they nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah have known; and because they have filled this place with the blood of innocents, and have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, which I did not command or decree, nor did it come into my mind— therefore, behold, days are coming, declares the Lord, when this place shall no more be called Topheth, or the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.”- Jeremiah 19:3-6

My personal Favorite:

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
    for the rights of all who are destitute.
Speak up and judge fairly;
    defend the rights of the poor and needy”

Proverbs 31:8-9

Many pro choice activist use the scenario, of rape or life of the mother as a reason for abortions. These account for less than 1% of abortions. Typically if the life of the mother is at stake, she is usually far enough along for them to deliver the child and try to give it a chance, while also caring for the mother. While rape is an awful thing, a baby should not have to pay for the sins of the father. This is where Christians can come into play and adopt the child if it is unwanted and even extend love and care to the mother.

Also let me be clear:

A D&C after miscarriage is not the same as an abortion. While they both are medically referred to as an abortion, in one case the child is deceased, and the other the child is alive. Kamala twists this to make it sound like if abortion is banned and women have a miscarriage they will never be able to get care (a D&C) and die. This is simply not true. We saw her do this during the Presidential debate.

If you do not know how an abortion is performed I suggest you take a look, it is very disturbing.

I added a video of a doctor who used to perform abortions explaining how the procedure works. There are no real life images, but it is cartoon informational… and it is still disturbing.

Kamala Harris has signed a bill that will consider babies who survive a failed abortion medical waste. She signed for that! Meaning if the baby survives a failed abortion, the doctors legally cannot do anything to help the baby who is still alive and it is thrown in the garbage to suffocate. Don’t believe me?

Christians have to be strategic, because Satan has perverted the world we live in with so much sin.

Voting for Trump is a strategic way for us to be able to have the chance to fully eliminate abortion, but if we sit at home and do nothing… then we have no right to complain about the outcome.

Illegal Immigration:

Immigration is a hot topic in today’s election. The issue isn’t immigration, but illegal immigration. What is a criminal? I would hope you would say, someone who breaks the law, because that is what a criminal is. Someone who illegally crosses the border to a country where they have not been invited is already a criminal. They have already broken the law of that government. Romans 13 discusses this in greater detail. People may argue that Scripture tells us to welcome the sojourners and foreigners, and it does. However, this does not mean we have to be so welcoming that we neglect our own people in the process. Child Trafficking/Human Trafficking is at an all time high. There were boarders and walls in Scripture and it signified strength. Paul was a citizen of Rome so we see that even in Scripture there were rules. The government has laws for a reason to protect its citizens. With the border being wide open during the Biden Administration, we have seen the results from the death of Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, and so many other women and children. These are preventable crimes. While the Bible calls us to love others and help others in need, this does not mean we have to be okay with illegal immigration. Our government can most definitely make it easier for people to migrate here, without it taking years. Our government has failed in many areas regarding this, but it still does not give people a right to just come in illegally. It is unsafe for Americans, and we are paying for their care. Most immigrants coming here are not women and children. Does that shock you? Guess what, it is middle aged men.

Here is a quote from Fox News: 

"Illegal aliens coming to America want five things: to enter the U.S.; stay here; work; send money home; and bring or have family here. All these benefits help illegal aliens stay in the U.S., so, yes, the benefits are a pull factor," Lora Ries, director of the Heritage Foundation's Border Security and Immigration Center, told Fox News Digital.

"Another benefit to add is legal services for civil deportation hearings, a benefit that U.S. citizens do not receive. Given the millions coming to the U.S. under the Biden administration, American taxpayers will see significant tax increases to pay for all these services given to people who aren’t supposed to be here. That means Americans will have even less money to spend on gas, groceries, and rent," she said. 

Scripture clearly tells us to be subject to our governing authorities.

“Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.”

Romans 13:1-7

Our country has laws and a legal process for those who wish to come here. Think about it… if people are willing to break the laws to get to America, do you think they will truly care about obeying the law once they are in? The sad answer is most likely not. When Paul wrote this, he was saying that Christian’s need to follow the law, even if we disagree. He also reminds us that nothing is beyond the knowledge of God. God knows those leading and running countries, even in America. We have to trust Him, but I also think it is important to protect our own citizens as well. Scripture does call for us to care for the widows and orphans, but this doesn’t mean we have to be okay with people coming into our country illegally. Here is a quote from got questions:

“These are good goals and motivations. However, it is not biblical to violate a law to achieve a “good.” Caring for the poor, orphans, and widows is something the Bible commands us to do (Galatians 2:10; James 1:27; 2:2–15). However, the biblical fact that we are to care for the unfortunate does not mean we should violate the law in doing so. Supporting, enabling, and/or encouraging illegal immigration is, therefore, a violation of God’s Word. Those seeking to emigrate to another country should always obey the immigration laws of that country. While this may cause delays and frustrations, it is better than acting illegally. A frustrating law is still a law.”

Many people coming across the boarder are not always coming with the best intentions. Many are drug cartels bringing in Fentanyl and other deadly substances. These drugs are also killing American citizens. Again, citizens have every right to help change laws regarding immigration. However, the people coming here illegally is not helping America and many American citizens are dying from our government’s neglect at the boarder.

Protect the Parent’s Rights

Another big issue is child gender changes/trans rights. The democratic party is fighting for “trans rights” and gender changes for children. This means if your child wants to change genders and have reconstructive surgery, then you have to allow them to do that. As parents, we have a right to decide what is best for our children. Children do not know what they want, and they change their minds a lot. We also know a person’s brain is still developing into their mid-twenties. What if a child decides to get this surgery and changes their mind later? Unfortunately, then it is too late. Parents deserve the right to say yes or no when it comes to life-altering decisions like this. Scripture also tells us many times that God created male and female. If God wanted us to be a cat, we would be a cat. If God wanted us to be a man instead of a woman, he would have done that. God made us who we are and we have a purpose in life. People who want to change their genders are questioning God’s design.

“So God created mankind in his own image,
    in the image of God he created them;
    male and female he created them.

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Genesis 1:27-28

God created us male and female. In Deuteronomy it even discusses cross dressing as an abomination to the Lord.

“A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.”

Deuteronomy 22:5

1 Corinthians 7:2 also discusses this topic as well.

“But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband.”

1 Corinthians 7:2

Trump believes it is the parent’s right to say no. He is also against the sick agenda being pushed in the school systems. He wants to keep men out of women’s sports. Again, if Kamala cared so much about women’s rights, then she would keep men out of their sports! Here is a section from Trump’s website.

“President Donald J. Trump fought tirelessly to expand charter schools and school choice for America’s children. He secured permanent funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and protected free speech on college campuses. Now, the Harris-Biden Administration and the radical left are using the public school system to push their perverse sexual, racial, and political material on our youth. President Trump will cut federal funding for any school or program pushing Critical Race Theory or gender ideology on our children. His administration will open Civil Rights investigations into any school district that has engaged in race-based discrimination. President Trump will veto the sinister effort to weaponize civics education, keep men out of women’s sports, and create a credentialing body to certify teachers who embrace patriotic values. President Trump will reward states and school districts that abolish teacher tenure for grades K-12 and adopt Merit Pay, cut the number of school administrators, adopt a Parental Bill of Rights, and implement the direct election of school principals by the parents.”

I pray this post helps some of you decide, and I am going to be posting a PDF file with his policies and Scripture with it so you can also share on social media! Let me know what you think in the comments.
