Detroit pastor Lorenzo Sewell argues it's 'impossible' for Christians to be 'politically neutral'
'We do not believe that every Democrat is a demon, but we do believe that the Democratic platform is demonic,' he said

A Detroit pastor told Fox News Digital that it is "impossible" for pastors and Christians to be politically "neutral."

The gospel message is a political message. The Bible is a political book from Genesis to Revelations. We see that the Bible is a political book," said Lorenzo Sewell, pastor of 180 Church in Detroit, Michigan.

"It is impossible to be politically neutral," he added.

Sewell, a Republican, spoke at the last Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in July. He endorsed President-elect Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election and hosted the then-GOP presidential candidate at his church last summer.

He has previously been a critic of identity politics.

"It is important to be spiritual because you are political. You cannot be a spiritual person and not be political," Sewell added.



Sewell reacted to a story from the Washington Post detailing a Los Angeles pastor’s struggle with uniting his church before and after the presidential election.

Rev. Jonathan Hall, 41, a native of Alabama, led First Christian Church of North Hollywood for two years. First Christian is part of the Disciples of Christ denomination and serves over 1,000 members. "Persuading the Republicans, Democrats and independents in his pews to stay and pray with one another is getting more complicated," the Post reported.


Several congregants left the church due to their political differences. One of the members cited a film Hall planned to screen about Christian nationalism being "too one-sided" and "anti-Republican."

Others left after they discovered their peers were attending Trump’s inauguration.

Reacting to the Washington Post story, Sewell stressed the importance of bipartisanship.

We need to understand that you cannot have progress without being bipartisan. We understand that you have to work with the Democrats and you have to work with Republicans now in order to make real progress happen," the native of Detroit’s east side said. "So we have to have that discernment."




Sewell told Fox News Digital that there are Democrats at his church.

We do believe that it is very difficult for you to be a Bible-believing Christian and be a Democrat. We do believe that. Do I have Democrats in my church? Absolutely. We do not believe that every Democrat is a demon, but we do believe that the Democratic platform is demonic," he said.

"Adversely, we don't believe that every Republican is a revivalist. We don't worship a donkey nor elephant. We worship the lamb that was slain."

This sounds encouraging. 

   

Not part time or after school jobs.  

I graduated college in 1974.  Recession going on.  No one hiring.  Had to move from Colorado to Arizona to look for work.  finally got a job at Dial Finance.  Hated it with a passion.  Pay?  $500/month.  After taxes $377.  

I moved on to a job with KMart manager training.  $750/mo.  Became a store opener for them which I enjoyed, but there is a reason they are defunct.

When I was with Dial I had help from older brother, but with KMart moved to Tucson and completely existed on the $750, less taxes.  Rent, food, clothes, car payment, entertainment, etc all on that pittance.  Hard to believe.

The Israelis are some fightin' s.o.b.s.  

Do you think the U.S. could pull something like this off?

What a joke.

I'm very interested in the opinions of others on the board who drink alcohol on this subject.
Thoughts?

"Given the conclusive evidence on the cancer risk from alcohol consumption and the Office of the Surgeon General's responsibility to inform the American public of the best available scientific evidence, the Surgeon General recommends an update to the Surgeon General's warning label for alcohol-containing beverages to include a cancer risk warning," Dr. Vivek Murthy said in the advisory Friday.

The advisory notes that alcohol is the third leading preventable cause of cancer in the country, after tobacco and obesity.
"Alcohol is a well-established, preventable cause of cancer responsible for about 100,000 cases of cancer and 20,000 cancer deaths annually in the United States — greater than the 13,500 alcohol-associated traffic crash fatalities per year in the U.S. — yet the majority of Americans are unaware of this risk," Murthy said in a news release.

A big double barrel salute to Americans on his way out the door as Biden plans to somehow impose a sweeping and *permanent* ban on oil and gas drilling in vast stretches of the Pacific and Atlantic.  Along with other federal waters.  

I don't understand how this azz clown can do anything permanent like that.  Of course I'm guessing this will take oh, what, about 4 years to make its way through the courts?  That's just me talking, but it's not my first rodeo either.

Three separate beings but one God?  I don't recall this being explicitly stated in the Bible.  Here is my understanding based on what I've read.

God is Jesus and God is the Holy Spirit but Jesus and the Holy Spirit are NOT God.  

Is that your understanding?

Do you think Johson will serve the interests of the American people by supporting Trump's agenda or will he ultimately betray us all by serving the Swamp?  I'm hopeful, but my guess is the latter.
