I know you heard of the saying “If anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation. The old has gone, the new has come.” In our discussion, we are going to tackle this question: is the Conservative Christian following the teachings of Christ or are they following the teachings of white supremacy? The discussion will be divided into four parts: 1 Womens Rights (Abortion), 2 LGTBQ+, 3 Social Justice, and 4 Gun Violence. We will look at their stance on each of these topics and ask ourselves does it align with the teachings of Christ or teachings of White Supremacy.
