 Christian Zionism, Left Behind and Rapture - Articles on the theology and politics
At its simplest, Christian Zionism has been defined as "Christian support for Zionism." In 1975, the United Nations General Assembly passed resolution 3379 defining Zionism as, "a form of racism and racial discrimination." Contemporary Christian Zionism is in part a reaction to increasing world-wide criticism of Israel's form of apartheid.
Christian Zionism is founded first of all upon a literal and futurist interpretation of the Bible which leads proponents to distinguish between references to Israel and the Church.
Palestinian Christians had suffered much at the hand of theologies and interpretations of scripture that provided a mantle of divine legitimisation to the ideology of Zionism and the political movement that worked for their displacement from their homeland, and built a Jewish state on the basis of their exile, and oppression.

Croatian Peasant Party (HSS) was founded in 1904 under Stjepan Radic and Vlatko Macek and represented roughly 80 to 90 percent of the Croatian electorate during the period between World War I and World War II.
The HSS is best described as a moderate conservative party as it advocates traditional values, the role of family life in society, and social and economic stability as prime objectives.
Croatian Party of Rights (HSP) was founded in 1990, and, despite its keen sense of nationalism and xenophobia, the HSP did not present a substantial threat to the HDZ’s power base largely because it has had a tendency to fragment.

 Christian Politics according to Abraham Kuyper
Practically, this means for the Christian that "the curse should no longer rest upon the world itself, but upon that which is sinful in it, and Instead of monastic flight from the world the duty is now emphasized of serving God in the world, in every position of life....
Kuyper rejects all theories that imply a social contract as tire basis of society because these are based upon the notion of "the people" as the primary element in the State.
The family is the basis of all human social relations, and as such is based upon the primal blood relationship.

 :::THC::: Allan Carlson, Ph.D.: Speeches: The Howard Center
From his birth to his death, each man is involved in a multiplicity of natural social structures outside of which he could neither live nor achieve his full development….Each of these groups possesses a specific organic unity; first of all, there is the family, the child’s natural place of growth.
The Christian Democrats view the (core) family as a privileged opportunity to implement their social…principles.  They want the citizens to adapt their private lives to demanding interpersonal relationships.  Family life, especially the traditional family life of a married couple with several children, is a first embodiment of such relationships in other sectors of society.
Indeed, the only Christian Democratic theme not present is an open affirmation of the Deity of Creation.  Several members of the drafting committee, led by Charles Malik, sought inclusion of this idea.  But in the end, they agreed to more universal language that implied, rather than named, God.

 The Christian Revolution
The Blessed Trinity is to the Christian the prototype of the social order which man, because he is made in the image of God, is bound to realize.
Evolutionary language is always on our lips, but we direct our social activities as if change on broad lines were inconceivable, and we condemned helplessly to minister to the end of time, within the limits of a static stratified society, to the same old needs forever being generated by the same old situation.

 Christian Democrats call for right to withhold hospitality from gays
The Christian Democrats however are seeking an exemption that would allow religious people to withhold goods and services on the basis of sexual orientation.
Many Christians however - even those who hold a 'conservative' position on homosexuality - will baulk at the position that the Christian Democrats have taken, pointing out that the Christian tradition of hospitality is one where goods and services are provided in particular to those people whose behaviour religious people may not agree with.
Jesus in particular is recorded in the Gospels as eating and drinking with many people with whom the religious authorities did not approve.

 The Nature of Love is Conditional - Love and Hate in the Real World - Loading Page
To that reader who feels that an article regarding Christian truth and its implications to what is true in life (against what is not true) cannot possibly say anything to him or her, the author can only suggest that the reader give it a chance to do just that.
That Jesus told Christians to love their enemies and do good to those who persecute them, does not change the reality of the nature of sin and sinners (this verse is suggested as a proof text for this idea that we are to hate the sin and unconditionally love the sinner).
The Christians at Corinth, who had done nothing about this sin (they could not say they didn't know about it....it was publicly known), were not loving God because they were ignoring the public sin of one of their members.
