The ‘True Believers’: for faith or cause?

Whether we like them or not, political parties are now indispensable to representative democracy, and Christians should be committed to them, with many joining parties to improve the clarity and integrity of their convictions. Christians, conservatives, and biblical 'true believers' obviously examined the offerings from the major parties and reached their best judgement of which to support.

Did Scott Morrison get over the line thanks to self-proclaimed 'Christians' or True (bible based) Believers?

If 52 percent of the nation's population claims to be Christian, why do we have so many abortions and out-of-wedlock births, and so much divorce? And why is homosexual marriage now the law of the land? In other words, if the 'majority' of the nation claims Christianity, shouldn't that Christianity be reflected in the prevailing morals and practices? Or was it proclaimed on Saturday 18^th May 2019?

Perhaps it is well worth noting that the problem in Australia is that many so-called Christians are simply defining their own Christianity. It is no secret that when you drill down, you find that many of the denominations in Australia have strayed away from biblical orthodoxy on sexual and other social issues. We've lost the cultural consensus that once held to a biblical ethic. So, on the hot-button issues concerning sexuality, a la Israel Folau, Christians are under attack and indeed 'hated' by a growing secular society. As Eric Hoffer noted in his book 'The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements' in 1951,

"Hatred is the most accessible and comprehensive of all the unifying agents … "

If we are statistically a Christian nation, we aren't one now. There are so many self-proclaimed Christians who really can't answer simple questions about the basics of their faith. Interestingly, Bill Shorten had a Jesuit education but switched to Anglicanism, but apparently in name only not practice when he said "I don't need a law to tell me that (gays are not hell-fodder)."

What then are the characteristics of a 'true (bible believing) believer'? Do they speak from the Word of God (cf. Israel Folau), or are they only using worldly knowledge (I go to church). I make no apologies but this question cannot be answered without invoking scripture. If you cannot accept Genesis 1:1 then 'we have a problem Houston.'

Scott Morrison was always the 'preferred' Prime Minister over Bill Shorten according to the polls, for what they are worth, and this became evident as even Labor voters expressed this preference whether 'True Believers' (for a cause) or 'Bible Believing Christians' (based on faith).

Appropriately, I finish with a headline quote from The West Australian newspaper, Sunday, 19 May 2019 12:09 AM,
