Stunning divide in how often Congress votes in support of biblical principles

In a result that will surprise few who watch Capitol Hill, it has been revealed that one party dominates the list of those members of Congress who vote against biblical principles, over and over, including a man who purports to be a “Christian minister.”

It’s long been known that Republicans, mostly, support family values and ideas, lower taxes and limited government.

Democrats, meanwhile, are investing in abortion, transgenderism, big spending, big government, social agendas and violence for their future.

It is the Christian Employers Alliance that released a tool, the Biblical Business Index by the Center for Biblical Business. It has reported that there are 16 Democrats in Congress – Jerry Nadler, Katie Porter, Cori Bush, Chellie Pingree, Debbie Stabenow, Jeff Merkley, Edward Markey, Tammy Baldwin, Laphonza Butler, the minister, Ralph Warnock, Richard Durbin, Peter Welch, Elizabeth Warrern, LaMonica McIver, Erica Lee Carter and Brian Higgins, who voted in support of the biblical perspective ZERO percent of the time.

Another long list of Democrats revealed dozens more in essentially the same position, with support for biblical perspectives in the range of 0.50% to maybe 0.53%.

At the other end of the scale were Republicans Elijah Crane, Matt Rosendale, Andy Biggs, Robert Good and Mike Lee at 100%, following by more than 260 more Republicans with ratings as low as about 49%, Susan Collins, before the first Democrat, Henry Cuellar, made the list at 47.76%.

According to Washington Examiner columnist Paul Bedard, “Democrats overwhelmingly fill out the bottom slots.”

“CEA is proud to equip Christian business leaders with a tool built on the ultimate truth — the Word of God,” Margaret Iuculano, the president of the Christian-based business group, told Bedard.

“Our faith is the foundation of how we live and lead, and lawmakers need that same compass as they face complex policies. That’s why we launched the Biblical Business Index — a first-of-its-kind tool bringing together theologians and policy experts to connect Scripture with today’s legislation. Even when the issue is something like regulations, biblical truth provides guidance to discern what upholds justice, freedom, and human dignity,”

Bedard explained, “Take the recently passed Liberty in Laundry Act as an example. The law pulled back Biden-era energy conservation regulations on washing machines. The Bible passage it was linked to focused on freedom, a common theme in the Biblical Business Index. It cited Galatians 5:1 — ‘It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.’”

Lawmakers were assessed on their alignment with the Bible’s principles, and overall, Wyoming’s delegation rated the highest. Vermont was the lowest.

Fred McGrath, a senior policy adviser to CEA and ILA’s president, told Bedard policy experts and theologians were called on to develop the new report card.

“Oftentimes, the moral and faith-aligned position on bills can be tricky to identify due to the enormous complexity of public policy. That is why CEA launched the Biblical Business Index. Essentially, build the first of its kind system to bring together both policy experts and theologians to help decipher the complex policies and identify the biblically aligned position,” he said.

The results also provide analyses of state actions, with, for example, the survey recommending opposition to all of the nearly 60 issues handled recently by the Colorado legislature, suggesting support for only four.

That state has a far-left homosexual Democrat governor, Democrat-majority House and Senate and an all-Democrat state Supreme Court. The state repeatedly has tried to force Christians to abandon their beliefs and promote the dangerous LGBT lifestyle choices, being rebuked by the U.S. Supreme Court for its “hostility” to Christianity. It has gone so far left that state officials tried to ban President Trump from the 2024 ballot, only to be publicly rebuked by the U.S. Supreme Court.
