"Religious" people are gullible people. Clinton said he was a Christian, Obama said he was a Christian,, the Bushe's said they were Christians and on it goes. Saying you are a Christian in this country fools lots of people because most people are superficial. They judge by words alone without evidence of the fruit of the Spirit.
Remember Christianity is not a "religion" as so many think, it is a relationship with Christ, continually interactive and real, we live it by faith toward the unseen God Who lives in us.
Because people have been indoctrinated not to judge a person by the actions they live superficially by lying words. As long as words are said that make us feel good we accept almost any evil in the "religious" politician as long as they "say" "I am a Christian.".
Matthew 7:16-17 "16By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.…"
Nowhere in the Bible does God say, "you shall know them by their words."
1 Thessalonians 5:21
"21 But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good;"
God warns us about not believing merely words, but requiring evidence of character qualities that only the Spirit of God in born again believers can see with their Spiritual eyes.
Born again people who are walking with Christ daily are not fooled by words, they can easily and readily see the bad or good fruit in someone because Christ in them leads us into all truth.
John 16:12-14 "
…12 I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it. 13 However when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.…""
Our human nature cannot know perfectly the heart of a man, but Christ Who lives in us does know and He warns us when something is off, that should send us to prayer.
