The word carnal is an adjective that means relating to the physical body, earthly pleasures, or sexual appetites rather than spiritual or intellectual matters. Carnal Christians are more interested in Fleshly, Worldly, Earthly, Bodily, or Sensual things — rather than spiritual things of God, intellectual, or higher moral matters.
A Christian that supports Trump or anyone of his character, actions, concepts, etc has to be a Carnal Christian and not trying [with help of Holy Spirit] to be a “true” Christian that will be heading to Heaven. They are in trouble with God.

BIBLICAL CONSERVATIVE [Jesus as our example]……. {Christians are to become more like Jesus Christ in all things — he always did God’s Will.}
A “biblical conservative” (or theological conservative) is a Christian who believes the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God. This view holds that Scripture is the absolute standard for faith and practice, and it rejects attempts to alter core doctrines to match changing modern cultures.
Core Beliefs
- Inerrancy of Scripture: Believing the Bible is completely true and without error in everything it affirms.
- Centrality of Christ: Affirming the literal virgin birth, bodily resurrection, and atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ as the only means of salvation.
- Unchanging Truth: Maintaining that biblical moral laws and absolute truths remain constant across all eras.
- Traditional Morality: Upholding historical definitions of marriage, family ethics, and personal conduct derived directly from text.
Jesus cannot be neatly classified as a modern conservative, as his teachings transcend 21st-century political labels, containing elements that challenge both the political left and right.
Why Some View Jesus as Liberal or Progressive
- Focus on the Poor: He fiercely criticized the wealthy, demanded radical sharing of resources, and commanded followers to care for the vulnerable.
- Challenging Authorities: He frequently broke religious traditions to heal on the Sabbath and condemned hypocritical religious leaders.
- Radical Inclusion: He showed profound mercy to outcasts, tax collectors, immigrants, and sinners over societal judgment.

====================================
Distinction Between Theology and Politics
- Theological vs. Political: A person can be strictly conservative in their faith (believing core Christian doctrines and biblical inerrancy) without necessarily aligning with right-wing political or economic policies.
- The Christian Right: Represents the active political movement that merges these traditional religious convictions with conservative political platforms, particularly within the United States.
=========================================
SECULAR CONSERVATIVE [Political far right]…….
The five central beliefs of political conservatism in political theory are tradition, human imperfection, organic society, authority/hierarchy, and property.
Core Political and Social Tenets
- Tradition: Valuing long-standing customs, established institutions, and historical continuity over untested radical changes.
- Human Imperfection: A view that humans are intellectually, psychologically, and morally limited, making society prone to chaos if not anchored by stable rules and order.
- Organic Society: Viewing society as a living organism rather than a machine, meaning parts are deeply interconnected and sudden artificial disruptions can harm the whole
- Authority and Hierarchy: Believing that social order, leadership, and natural distinctions or ranks are necessary to provide direction and keep a community stable.
- Property: Seeing private property rights as essential for personal independence, individual freedom, and a stable, law-abiding economic foundation.
=============================
Conclusion:
Political/Secular Conservatives may say they promote, support, and believe in Biblical Conservatism, but their actions, rhetoric, policies, and actions display their belief that God is to be used to promote their OWN agenda rather than God using them to promote GOD’S agenda.
Political/Secular Conservatives may think they are true Christians, but who and what they support says different.
Key Biblical Principles of Complicity
- Endorsement and Approval: Scripture indicates that cheering on or validating wrongful behavior makes a person culpable alongside the actor. “Not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.”, as stated in [Romans 1:32](https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Romans%201%3A32).
- Assisting False Teaching: Providing aid, hospitality, or a platform to harmful and deceptive messages implicates a person in the spread of that error. “Whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works”, according to [2 John 1:11](https://learn.ligonier.org/devotionals/do-not-receive-him).
- Personal Accountability: Each person stands alone before God for their choices, including what they choose to promote or reject. “Each of us will give an account of himself to God”, referenced in [Romans 14:12](https://epm.org).
