It highlights endorsements from a far-left Jewish advocacy group and some Black pastors who have publicly supported Mamdani, arguing that their backing conflicts with core Christian teachings, especially the Ten Commandments. The piece condemns Mamdani&#8217;s platform, including proposals to tax wealthier, predominantly white neighborhoods heavily, his pro-abortion stance, and his alignment with Democratic Socialists of America values. The author contends that these policies violate biblical principles such as &#8220;Thou shalt not steal&#8221; and &#8220;Thou shalt not kill,&#8221; and accuses supporting pastors of prioritizing political interests over religious fidelity. the article urges Christian leaders to reject socialist candidates like Mamdani and warns believers to be cautious of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >political figures disguising harmful agendas<\/a> through religious endorsements.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ud0xM4OUrPc\">Greater Allen A.M.E. cathedral of new york\/YouTube<\/a>         <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/29\/any-pastors-supporting-a-socialist-disqualify-themselves-from-the-ministry\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Any%20Pastors%20Supporting%20A%20Socialist%20Disqualify%20Themselves%20From%20The%20Ministry&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/29\/any-pastors-supporting-a-socialist-disqualify-themselves-from-the-ministry\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Any%20Pastors%20Supporting%20A%20Socialist%20Disqualify%20Themselves%20From%20The%20Ministry&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/29\/any-pastors-supporting-a-socialist-disqualify-themselves-from-the-ministry\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/29\/any-pastors-supporting-a-socialist-disqualify-themselves-from-the-ministry\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Any%20Pastors%20Supporting%20A%20Socialist%20Disqualify%20Themselves%20From%20The%20Ministry&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/29\/any-pastors-supporting-a-socialist-disqualify-themselves-from-the-ministry\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>Zohran Mamdani, the radical Muslim socialist running for New York City mayor is twisting religion to manipulate voters into supporting him.
