You just keep repeating the same thing, which essentially boils down to compromising on Christianity for the sake of worldly power. If “your side” doesn’t care about this enough not to sell their souls for it then why would I believe they’ll be super serious about it later?
Never said any such thing, I think you should read me more carefully. I also gave you several historical examples (which you ignored because you aren't interested in learning, or truth).
Where does this line of thinking end? Should Republicans embrace trannyism and gay “marriage” as well?
It doesn't matter what Republicans embrace, that is completely and totally irrelevant. All that matters is that we vote for candidates who push things in a more Christian direction. We should expect any and all potential political leaders we have to be horrible sinners, just like they were in Christ's time, or Paul's time, or just about any time really.
When you actually embrace the message of Christ yourself (it doesn't seem like you understand Christ well) then you will understand this kind of thinking.
"Give unto God's what is God's, and give unto Ceasar's what is Ceasar's." Thus we know that politics is always trivial compared to the word of God, and that what happens in the political realm is but a sideshow to the main event. It thereby makes no sense to put ANY faith or hope in politics, and instead treat politics for what it is: the realm of sinners, the realm of man, squabbling over money.
Hence, all politics is a compromise, there is no using politics to save mankind. Only God, His Son, and His Church can save. Everything else is but a distraction.
Thus saying "I'm not voting unless I get perfect candidate X" means you are abandoning your Neighbor by refusing to help vote in someone who could marginally help them out. You'll be voting for Pedo Joe Biden and the rest of the chews destroying the innocent.
You are thinking no differently than the pharasees who refused to help out their Neighbors because it was "sabbath" and criticized Jesus for healing on the sabbath and breaking the law.
Christians have always moved politics by compromise. They have done so for thousands of years. There is no big "Christian facist" revolution in history. Conversions take time and generations, and as the culture changes then the politics change downstream of the hearts and minds who make up that culture.
Thus the real change can only come from outside of politics, which is the Church. The political situation will resolve itself as the Church grows in size and power. Until the Church is restored, then politics will always be a joke and it makes no sense in trying to expect much from it, if anything at all. You take what you can get and be grateful we can get anything out of this sinful world.
All I know is that all of Israel was almost destroyed after one man stole pagan jewelry from Jericho. Israel was saved by undoing that mistake, so perhaps what others are derogatorily calling "moral purity" and "absolutism" are what God expects from His people.
Your understanding of the Bible is very incomplete. Otherwise you'd know that Israel had a pact, a covenant, with God, and it is because they broke the terms of agreement with the Lord they were severely punished, including the destruction of Jerusalem in 77AD.
Gentiles are under no such pact, and as a result there is no need to be hardcore on the public, which would only push people away from the Church. It's pretty obvious you haven't converted many people. Your lack of patience would only drive others away.
"God desires mercy, not sacrifice."
Read the Bible, and read examples of how the Bible was applied in Christian history, and you will answer most of your political questions.
