Satan's Candidates

[Joanne98]

According to Christian Right leader Lou Engle, evangelical Christians who don't get political are helping elect Satan's candidates.

In an interview with Charisma magazine, Engle said he believes that the midterm elections could turn on a rally he is leading this weekend in Sacramento.


"There is a hill above Capitol Hill," Engle said. "It's God's praying church who actually begins to influence the governments of the earth through their prayers."
Engle makes no apologies for his political advocacy. He believes if Christians don't influence politics, Satan will.

Prayer and preaching the gospel are the church's primary calling, he said. "But to say don't get involved in those high places is actually allowing our archenemy Satan to put his own people in those high places, where spiritual powers can actually control societies and release laws that actually legalize systemic evil," Engle added.

The Satanic candidates are, of course, those who endorse marriage equality and reproductive rights. The statements of purpose of The Call, and the wider Pray & Act initiative are crystal clear about that.

1. I actually agree with this in a twisted sort of way.

I believe God is love, and to the extent a candidate is working to provide loving solutions to the problems people face, he or she is "God's" candidate. On the other hand, Satan is the adversary of God. He represents the spirit of selfishness. All evil stems from selfishness, and to the extent candidates are attempting to change things with an intent to enrich themselves, they are "Satan's" candidates.

Theres a passage in the Bible where Jesus gives an example of one group of people who were doing his work without knowing it, while another group was not, even though they were saying "lord, lord" and thought that they were.

It makes you think.
