A Christian Libertarian

 

Clipboard01The very heart of a libertarian is 2 Corinthians 3:17, and Galatians 5:1-18; and being a conservative is one that seeks to conserve the fact that ALL liberty is of God!

2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

To preserve “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”…

A Christian libertarian understands that all “life” beginning at conception is from God and should be protected. Therefore life is to be safe and secured in one’s home without fear of harm or death. Government is to protect the right to life by protecting the very means by which life is brought forth:

Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

A Christian libertarian understands that as life goes out the front doors of each of our homes in “pursuit of Happiness” that each of us has the freedom of conscience to seek whatever makes us happy as long as it does not cause harm or death to the life of others. When a person prevents someone from the free exercise of choices than that person is violating the right to the “pursuit of Happiness.”

The relationship between “life” and “the pursuit of Happiness” is what is known as “Liberty”…

The federal government therefore has the moral responsibility of passing two laws in protecting “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”:

A law protecting marriage as being one man and one woman. For this is the very means by which life is reproduced. And

A law protecting life from conception to natural death. For “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life”

No where in our bibles do we find a “Christian” being an individual. A Christian is one who follows Christ and because of having faith in God’s love will through a “good conscience” choose to show this love to others. A Christian knows that also being a libertarian that no earthy government has absolutely no business telling the Christian what is a “good conscience”.
