Why this book

__________ 

Christianity has always shaped politics — not by force, but by providing the moral framework for what our nation’s Constitution once identified as justice and order. Was the Constitution or the people who wrote it perfect? No. But it drew its foundation from biblical teaching: the sanctity of life, the dignity of every person, and the recognition that true justice flows from God, not man. But when those founding principles erode under the banner of “cultural change,” the very premise of the United States begins to lose its meaning. A nation without a moral anchor drifts aimlessly, redefining good and evil according to the shifting winds of public opinion.

You may ask, “Why focus on the Democratic Party platform rather than the Republican Party platform or the political positions of Islamic organizations?” The answer is twofold. First, I have also examined the Republican Party platform, and that analysis is available to you as well. Both party platforms are public, written documents that explicitly outline positions that directly contradict Scripture. Second, many who support or vote for the Democratic Party also profess to be Christians, making this contrast both relevant and necessary to address. Examining the political positions of specific Islamic organizations would require a separate analysis of their stated policies and endorsements. For one individual’s perspective on Islamic extremism and its relationship with Western left-wing politics, see this interview with Mohammed Tawhidi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSKPc4mRBPU.

Let me be clear: if you feel the Democratic Party’s social justice platform is your calling, make the most of it. I am not trying to take this away from you. As Jonathan Edwards stated in so many words: This world is all the hell that ever a true Christian is to endure, and it is all the heaven that unbelievers shall ever enjoy. — For this reason, and if Mr. Edwards is correct, you really do not want to waste the time you have. Enjoy this world to the fullest. But if you desire to live as a Christian, then you need to understand the confusion you are perpetuating amongst those who understand the word of God.

Here’s the incredible truth: everyone has the gift of free will, whether you believe it came from God or by accident. That means everyone has the power to make a choice and act on it. You can embrace Democratic Party values, stand behind them, and make one or more of them your guiding light. Or you can deny the Democratic Platform and choose instead to follow Christ as your foundation. You cannot do both. You cannot claim the banner of Democrat (no matter how far left or right your views) and the name of Christ without contradiction. And if you read this book, you will be able to make that choice intelligently.
