POLITICAL PASTORS

Ernest Lee saw this Facebook post (yep, Ole Ernest Lee is on Facebook) from this yeh who Eric Metaxas, who said if ‘your pastor doesn’t make it clear to vote against the Democratic ticket, you should leave the church and take your tithe with you.’

Metaxas is a writer, calls himself a ‘Mere Christian,’ like Ernest Lee’s buddy C.S. Lewis. Little Eric was born in Queens, went to Yale and has written 30 kids books. He wrote a book about Ernest’s Lee’s friend Dietrich Bonhoeffer, which Ernest Lee’s friends tell him is not historically accurate and the theology is weaker than Rick Warrens. Ernest Lee ain’t got time to read the newspaper, much less a poorly written biography. But back to Metaxas statement about preachers telling their people how to vote. Should they?

Some padres believe they are called to tell everybody how to vote, what products to buy, where to work, and who to marry. Those who follow those goofballs are in a CULT! Each regenerated, born again believer has liberty to live their life accountable to no man. The doctrine is called the INDIVIUAL PRIESTHOOD OF THE BELIEVER. Ernest Lee’s apprentice, John MacArthur preached a half way decent sermon about that. Here’s the link: https://www.gty.org/library/sermons-library/60-18/the-believers-privileges-part-2-access-part-1

But is it appropriate for a preacher/pastor/elder to school his congregation on who to vote for? Nope, it isn’t. Their job is to PREACH THE GOSPEL! But what about the WHOLE COUNSEL, you ask? Yep, and if a faithful minister is preaching LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION, that GOD ONLY MADE TWO GENDERS and you don’t get to change yours and that MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN, then their people should know who to vote for- but do they?

Just because a person says they believe the Bible don’t mean they do. When it comes to politicians, they pander to Christians and then betray them. When it comes to political pastors, they distort the Scripture to exercise power and control over their flock.

Nope, if Ernest Lee’s preacher gets up and starts telling him how to vote or who to support in an election, Ernest Lee will leave the church and take his tithe with him- and I bet you Ernest Lee is a more sacrificial giver than the Mere Christian, Mexaxas.

Ernest Lee wants the GOSPEL to be declared/proclaimed from his church’s pulpit. It is what will change the nation and the world. It won’t be some politician.
