Wife and I have been invited to celebrate Easter with some relatives we are on the fence about this ,How can they celebrate Jesus when they voted for abortion ? Their the ones that didn't have a clue on policies. the only fact they got ,We hate Trump, ! We all sin and fall short of the glory of God. Jesus paid the price for us all. Easter is the best holiday as it reminds us of eternity. Best thing you can do is pray for the Dems.

I know what you're talking about, my brother thinks Bernie Sanders is the savior. He wears a T-shirt sometimes that says Jesus was a socialist. You cant even have a conversation with him without him spewing hatred about Trump. Smdh.

I can't imagine having any democrat relatives. I know they always have at least one family member that looks like this and I would end up making everyone cry.

Make sweet love to all the women. You got to breed out the Democrat in the bloodlines.

Avoiding political discussions is part of why our country is divided. People want to talk at others about politics but not talk about it, or communicate. Right now it is considered uncouth to talk politics at church or amongst the family. Why is it uncouth to discuss a very important topic with the most basic support groups of society. Who benefits when families and churches dont function cohesively to lift others up? We are all involved in or affected by politics like it or not, and learning to discuss face to face respectfully is sorely needed. Go if you want, if politics comes up speak the truth in love on your part, focus on issues and not individuals. They may not treat you that way but if any of us are going to live the "love others as yourself" principle then it may as well start with you.
As far as the resurrection. God saw mans sinfulness and corruption and decided to act to deal with it rather than require men to be perfect first. He made the perfect sacrifice to deal with sins once and for all. By ones sins all are condemned and by ones death all have a chance to be made right. Your relitives first problem if they do not believe is needing the gospel, once they have that and accept it dealing with other issues like abortion takes on a different dynamic.

And this kind of issue/family dynamic is why I avoid religion...period. Which is really hard to do here on okie land....there are more churches here than you can count...almost as many as there are weed dispensaries. Except the churches are huge with acres of land around them.

Stay out of political discussions. If they press on the topic tell them you would really prefer to not discuss it

Be a bigger person if talk turns to politics. Remind them that this is about the resurrection not the insurrection.

They probably know your belief and still invited you. Go enjoy your family.
