Brian Mclaren wants everything to change. It appears he will put his vote where his mouth is. In a post on his blog, Brian Mclaren said the following, "So, inaccuracies happen. To say I was sent by Senator Obama wasn't accurate. To say I hope he will be our next president rather than Senator McCain is accurate." Mclaren says he will be "outspoken" on his opinions of this election and he "enthusiasticly supports the Matthew 25 Network which is supporting Senator Obama." Not as a pastor but a a responsible private citizen. Define "responsible." Senator Obama supports abortion and high taxes. Do you call that responsible? Not from a Scriptural basis.
Taxes: If you read 1 Kings 12, you will discover that a wise king will not burden his people with gratutious taxes. When politicians institute tax systems that are designed to imitate Robin Hood (Take from the rich, give to the poor), they commit "legal plunder."
Abortion: This issue clearly violates the 6th commandment, "Thou shall not kill." As the social gospel attempts to save the world, eliminate global warming, and other social issues, thousands of defenseless children are being slaughtered in an ongoing massacre. The Pro-Life* issue is incredibly huge (physically, emotionally, spiritually, etc.) so I will not address this topic in detail right now.
Bottom Line: "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan." (Proverbs 29: 2)
*A Generation for Truth defines Pro-Life as being against abortion, human cloning, and embryonic stem cell research. Some groups define the Pro-Life movement as also opposing the death penalty.
