Democratic candidates for US President advocated unbiblical views

Logo of Democratic Party

Democratic party 2016 US presidential candidates had their first official debate on television last night.

One of the things that stuck me when I started to watch it was that the opening statements by Hillary Clinton and Martin O’Malley pushed the homosexual agenda and were opposed to biblical views on that topic. The following are from a transcript from the New York Times:

O’MALLEY: My name is Martin O’Malley, former Mayor of Baltimore, former governor of Maryland, a life long democrat, and most importantly, a husband, and a father. My wife Katie and I have four great kids, Grace, and Tara, and William and Jack. And, like you, there is nothing we wouldn’t do to give them healthier and better lives. There are some things that I have learned to do better in life than others. And, after 15 years of executive experience, I have learned how to be an effective leader. Whether it was raising the minimum wage, making our public schools the best in America, passing marriage equality…

CLINTON: Well, thank you, and thanks to everyone for hosting this first of the Democratic debates. I’m Hillary Clinton. I have been proud and privileged to serve as first lady, as a senator from New York, and as secretary of state…. And I will do everything I can to heal the divides — the divides economically, because there’s too much inequality; the racial divides; the continuing discrimination against the LGBT community — http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/14/us/politics/democratic-debate-transcript.html

The opening statement by Senator Bernie Sanders talked about climate change and a later statement redefined morality and seemed to promote class warfare:

SANDERS: …Today, the scientific community is virtually unanimous: climate change is real, it is caused by human activity, and we have a moral responsibility to transform our energy system away from fossil fuel to energy efficiency and sustainable energy and leave this planet a habitable planet for our children and our grandchildren. …

SANDERS: Well, we’re gonna win because first, we’re gonna explain what democratic socialism is. And what democratic socialism is about is saying that it is immoral and wrong that the top one-tenth of 1 percent in this country own almost 90 percent — almost — own almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent. That it is wrong, today, in a rigged economy, that 57 percent of all new income is going to the top 1 percent.

In his opening statement, former Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee had similar comments regarding the climate and income, and in a later statement he voiced his support of the homosexual agenda:

CHAFEE: … As we look to the future, I want to address the income inequality, close the gap between the haves and the have-nots. I want to address climate change, a real threat to our planet. And I believe in prosperity through peace. I want to end these wars. …

CHAFEE: … Whether it’s on the environment, a woman’s right to choose, gay marriage, fiscal responsibility, aversion to foreign entanglements, using the tools of government to help the less fortunate. Time and time again, I have never changed. You’re looking at a block of granite when it comes to the issues. So I have not changed.

In his opening statement, Senator Jim Webb said:

WEBB: In the senate, I spoke about economic fairness and social justice from day one. I also wrote and passed the best piece of veterans education legislation in history, the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill. I brought criminal justice reform out of the political shadows and into the national discussion. I led what later became called the Strategic Pivot to Asia two years before President Obama was elected. I know where my loyalties are.

I have long expressed concerns about the Asian pivot strategy that was pushed hard by Hillary Clinton when she was US Secretary of State.

Why?

Because it overlooks the biblical view that the USA will be taken over by a European power (Daniel 11:39) and not an Asian one (see also Anglo – America in Prophecy).

As far as climate change, while most of the candidates seem to believe that the need to do something to help fix it, they seemed to be completely focused on human actions like fossil fuels and have not considered that policies they advocate like the homosexual agenda and abortion are causing God’s judgment to come (see also Weather Blessings and Sorrows).

This does NOT mean that I believe that the Republican candidates have the solutions for the USA, only that many of the Democratic views I heard last night were often unbiblical.

Perhaps I should add that according to pundits, the highlight of the debate was when Bernie Sanders said people were sick of hearing about Hillary Clinton’s emails. The Democrat crowd broke into applause as many are rightly worried that Hillary Clinton’s handling of official emails in violation of various laws and/or regulations has hurt her candidacy.

Notice something in the news this morning related to last night’s debate and the email matter:

October 14, 2015

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton revised history in the Democratic debate when insisting she’s not a flip-flopper on a trade deal she promoted as secretary of state but turned against as a presidential candidate.

Bernie Sanders overstated the share of wealth being taken by the richest Americans, a subject that goes to the core of his campaign. …

CLINTON on the Trans-Pacific Partnership: “I did say, I hoped it would be the gold standard'” of trade agreements.

THE FACTS: Clinton did not say anything about mere hope in her speeches around the world in support of the trade deal. She roundly endorsed the deal taking shape. …

CLINTON on her email practices: “I have been as transparent as I know to be. … I said I have answered all the questions.”

THE FACTS: Clinton has yet to explain how the server was set up and serviced, whether she informed the State Department about her decision to use the private system and, most important, how it was protected from hacking attempts.

Russia-based hackers tried at least five times to trick her into infecting her computer system with malware in 2011, The Associated Press learned, and her server was hit by attempted cyber intrusions in 2014 from China, South Korea and Germany.

Her server also was connected to the Internet in ways that made it more vulnerable to hackers. But her campaign has repeatedly declined to address these details. http://www.aol.com/article/2015/10/14/ap-fact-check-clinton-sanders-revise-history-in-dem-debate/21248948/?icid=maing-grid7%7Chtmlws-main-bb%7Cdl19%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D-1859737877

All that being said and reported, the biblical reality is that the USA needs national repentance, otherwise it is doomed. The USA needs the return of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God, which is not anything that any Republican nor Democratic candidate has clearly promoted as the solution.

It is not that some of the policies some candidates advocate cannot help, but without national repentance they will not be enough to stop the destruction that will come to the USA according to biblical prophecies (such as those found in Habakkuk 2:6-8 and Daniel 11:39).

Can you see the ‘Handwriting on the Wall’? Thousands of years ago, King Belshazzar saw a hand appear at a big party he was hosting. The hand wrote Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin. Shortly after the Prophet Daniel explained it, his empire was taken over and King Belshazzar died. Is this applicable today? Are there signs right before our eyes that show that the end is coming to the United States and its Anglo-descended allies.
