Summary: The two most consequential acts of God at creation were the valuing of human life as the only creatures made in God’s image and the integrating of that image-bearing into the creation of male and female sexual counterparts. Since these two creation acts are most consequential in the eyes of God, policies adversely affecting these acts of God ought to be the Christian’s two most important concerns when voting. Today’s Democratic Party has two great idols, the high priestess of which is Kamala Harris: (1) the right to unrestricted killing of human life in the womb and (2) the coercive promotion of LGBTQ immorality. To these idols Harris and her chief cultic mouthpiece, Tim Walz, sacrifice our most important freedoms given to us in a Republic, such as protections of our children and of our rights to free speech and free exercise of religion. By definition, a political party that exalts the destruction of God’s two most important creation purposes shares a demonic ideology.

How do Christians determine what are the most important matters when voting for or against a political candidate? We have to start “in the beginning.”

Beginning at the Beginning Determines What Political Issues Matter Most

The two most consequential acts in God’s creation of “the heaven and the earth” were (1) the creation of “the human” (Hebrew ha’adam) in God’s “image” and “likeness,” and (2) God’s differentiation of humanity into two sexual “counterparts” or “complements,” “male and female” or “a man” and “woman,” whose bodies are designed for “joining” in marriage, entailing both sexual companionship and procreation (Gen. 1:1, 26–28; 2:21–24; 5:1–2; 9:1, 6–7).

Whoever sheds the blood of the human,
by the human shall his blood be shed.
For in the image of God he [God] made the human.

Promoting the destruction of the foundation for sex also matters. Other things matter too (for example, managing the creation well on God’s behalf), but not to the same degree. Genesis 1:27 teaches us that among all the living creatures of the earth, only the human species integrates sexual differentiation with image-bearing.

God created the human in his image,
in the image of God he [God] created him.
Male and female he created them.

That means that only in the case of humans does what they do sexually have the capacity either to enhance the image of God stamped on the body or to efface it.

Jesus grounded his view of sex in Genesis 1:27 and Genesis 2:24, concluding that the God-ordained duality of the sexes was the basis for limiting the number of persons in marriage to two. Do we have ears to hear? The moral logic of Jesus’s remarks is that twoness of number is predicated on twoness of the sexes. Monogamy (both concurrent, at any one time, and serial, over time) is a logical deduction from a male-female prerequisite for sex.

It should not occasion surprise, then, that alongside Paul’s strong condemnation of homosexual practice in Romans 1:24–27 and 1 Corinthians 6:9–10 we find echoes to the same two creation texts lifted up by Jesus for defining acceptable sexual behavior—Genesis 1:26–27 and Genesis 2:24, respectively. Homosexual practice and transgenderism are thus viewed in Scripture as an assault on the very foundation of sexual ethics.

The Two Idols of the Democratic Party: LGBTQ immorality and Abortion

Today we have a political party whose two main idols are enforced “LGBTQ” immorality and “reproductive freedom,” or unrestricted abortion. I am talking, of course, about the Democratic Party. To be sure, the Democratic Party stands for other things as well. Yet these two issues are the defining identity markers of the Party.

They strike at the heart of God’s created order. Abortion sacrifices on the altar of self-fulfillment the unjust killing of a developing and innocent human being made in God’s image. The “LGB” agenda extinguishes the two-sexes foundation for sexual ethics, and the “TQ” agenda eradicates any biological basis for determining sex. Referring to “husband and wife” or even “boys and girls” is now treated by the Democratic Party as discriminatory, hateful, and bigoted.

Here it is not a question of the Democrats pursuing a policy of “live and let live.” Rather, for them, one is compelled to bow before these idols by praising the courage of those who come out as transgender and celebrating homosexual relationships. One is coerced into compete in sports against or share a changing room with a person of the opposite sex. In elevating to the status of cherished idols that which strikes at the very heart of God’s created order, the Democratic Party is in lockstep with demonic powers that seek to subvert God’s design (1 Tim. 4:3). What else can we call this headlong pursuit of LGBTQ immorality and abortion as the very raison d’être (reason for existence) of this Party, its debased heart and soul? Thus, a vote for that Party’s candidates is necessarily an ungodly vote.

The Democratic Party heads rejected the decision of voters in the primaries, Joe Biden, and picked instead Vice President Kamala Harris to be their head priestess of these two great idols. She has a long track record of being unsurpassed in the Democratic Party in her extremism on LGBTQ immorality and abortion. She in turn selected as her chief mouthpiece for these twin idols Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota, whose commitment on these matters is as extreme as her own. They are both equally willing to sacrifice to these idols our most important freedoms given to us in a Republic, such as protection of our children and of our rights to free speech and free exercise of religion.

The Democrats have been effective at getting a number of evangelicals and other religious conservatives to be distracted by the character flaws and off-color words of Donald Trump (ignoring those of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz). But these evangelicals disregard the far graver danger coming from hard-Left policies that entail Executive Orders, legislation, “disinformation” boards, and court nominations that will have long-term adverse effects on the two most consequential acts of creation. The effects would last well beyond a Harris-Walz presidency and encompass a far wider group of people.

The Urgency of the Present Moment

The urgency of the present moment is heightened by two additional factors.

First, Democrats are nearing autocratic control of the country. They already control most of the old legacy news media, social media platforms (except Elon Musk’s X), virtually all of the academy of colleges and universities, the search engines that determine flow of information on the internet, the entertainment industry, and most of the Fortune 500 companies. To hand over to them the Presidency for another four to eight years is suicidal both to a functioning democracy and the checks and balances of a two party system.

The situation is even more dire given the Biden-Harris massive illegal-immigration election scam. The current administration has let into the country an unprecedented four to five million illegal immigrants or more, even flying over 800,000 from Latin America into the US interior (mostly into red states and swing states). This has been done as a massive election-cheating scam to turn border states and swing states permanently blue, thereby insuring that Democrats will win all future presidential elections and control all three branches of federal government for the foreseeable future.
