    True Christianity has nothing to do with politics.

    James 1:27 - Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

    So for me: Theologically conservative in my approach to the scripture and keeping myself unspotted from the world, liberal in my approach to "the fatherless and widows in their affliction."

    Not quite sure what one has to do with the other. Seems to be man's attempt to define obedience to God. Obedience is just obedience. it's not conservative. It's not liberal.

    Jesus had a tax collector and a revolutionary as his disciples, so it sure didn't seem to matter to Jesus.

    I would equate biblical christianity as being conservative in morals and standards... that would be all that I would would be without a doubt conservative!
