Can you morally disqualify yourself from elective and/or appointed office?
Can you morally disqualify yourself from elective and/or appointed office? Yes. Will that moral disqualification prevent you from getting that office? In America today… probably not.
The character of John Adams in the musical “1776” eloquently asks, “Is anybody there? Does anybody care? Does anybody see, what I see?”
Open hostility to Almighty God and the Lord Jesus Christ, practicing, supporting, enabling and defending sexual promiscuity, adultery, homosexuality, lesbianism and the murder of unborn children; lying, violating solemn oaths of office, ignoring the Constitution and other established laws (lawlessness), the inability to judge right from wrong or good from evil are now all pretty much tolerated and accepted by the majority in America today.
What happened? What happened to the moral compass of the greatest country the world has ever known?
I talk all the time to professing fundamentalist Christians who, come Election Day, set aside Biblical truth and blindly vote for their political party, both Democrats and Republicans. Principle… that standard which made BOTH parties great, is compromised for pragmatism and a corrupting, deceiving party spirit.
Nineteenth Century revivalist Charles G. Finney correctly observed, "If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the public press lacks moral discernment, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the world loses its interest in Christianity, the pulpit is responsible for it. If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. If our politics become so corrupt that the very foundations of our government are ready to fall away, the pulpit is responsible for it."
Fear of man, fear of conflict and especially fear of the government (IRS) has caused a winnowing of the American pulpits… finding most empty.
