Senator John McCain continues to court religious conservatives. This week, he got the endorsement of Rev. John Hagee, founder of the group Christians United for Israel. Also this week, McCain appeared at a rally in Ohio with Rev. Rod Parsley, pastor of World Harvest Church, a megachurch in Columbus. Parsley is founder of the Center for Moral Clarity, a grassroots evangelical advocacy group. He says Christians have a biblical mandate to get involved in politics as a way of influencing the culture. In 2006, Parsley was accused of violating an IRS regulation that says churches, as tax-exempt institutions, may not engage in partisan politics. He denies any violations, but says churches must be allowed to speak out on issues from abortion to poverty.
Sorry, you need the latest version of the free flash player in order to watch the video clips.
This sounds like a radical departure from his stance in recent election campaigns. Has he really changed what he thinks? When did the change take place?
Or is this all talk and no action?
Rev. Rod Parsley, pastor of World Harvest Church lied when he said Christians have biblical mandate to get involved with politics. It is a big lie, a gimmick. You miss the road. Jesus Christ told his disciples: go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age. Mathew 28:19--20.
He didn't tell you to be a Republican or democrats chasing big money. Rev. you miss it.
Does he say 1954? He must mean '64. Johnson was president then.
Suddenly he's concerned about 'justice' - since when?
ROD PARSLEY IS LIVING THE BIBLE?I'M SO GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR A MAN OF GOD LIKE HIM.THE GOVERNMENT SHALL BE ON HIS SHOULDERS.
It is written I can do all things through Christ which strenghten me. Is not the teachings of Parsley also the teachings of Christ. He is informing the people because you have a call for politics does not mean your need to run for president.
