Project 2025

A Torah-Pursuant Perspective on Conservative Governance

​Biblical Foundations for Project 2025

Righteous Governance and Justice
The Torah establishes righteous government as a pillar of a stable society. Leaders must rule with justice, uphold moral laws, and resist corruption. Moshe instructed Israel, “You shall appoint judges and officers in all your gates… and they shall judge the people with just judgment” (Deuteronomy 16:18). Project 2025 seeks to return the government to a model that reflects righteousness by limiting overreach, ending policies that promote immorality, and securing religious freedoms.
 

Strengthening the Family
The family is the first institution established by God. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh” (Genesis 2:24). Policies that affirm biblical marriage and protect children from cultural confusion are not merely conservative ideals. They reflect the divine order established from creation. Project 2025 commits to preserving the sanctity of the family, ensuring parental rights in education, and safeguarding children from harmful ideologies.

Religious Freedom and Accountability
The Torah commands us to worship and serve the Almighty without interference. “You shall have no other gods before Me” (Exodus 20:3). When governments impose policies that force believers to violate their faith, they overstep their bounds. Project 2025 seeks to remove obstacles to religious expression and create space for biblical values in public life. Critics claim this merges faith and politics, but Scripture teaches that a nation that honors God will prosper: “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34).

Addressing Concerns from a Torah Perspective

Social Welfare and the Vulnerable
Project 2025 advocates for reducing government dependency and shifting responsibility for care to families and local communities. Some argue that this contradicts the Torah’s command to care for the poor. The Torah calls for generosity and personal responsibility. “If one of your brethren becomes poor… you shall uphold him” (Leviticus 25:35). It does not mandate a centralized government welfare system. The biblical model relies on individuals, families, and communities to provide for the needy. The shift away from federal programs encourages believers to step up and fulfill these commands in their local congregations and neighborhoods, rather than delegating them to impersonal bureaucracies.

Environmental Stewardship
Critics say that deregulation and increased fossil fuel production undermine the Torah’s mandate to care for creation. They cite “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof” (Psalm 24:1) as evidence that believers should support environmental restrictions. While the Torah commands us to be stewards of the land (Genesis 2:15), it does not endorse environmental policies that cripple economies or create governmental overreach. Dominion over the earth includes responsible resource use, not radical environmentalism. The key is balance—using resources wisely while avoiding waste and destruction. Economic freedom allows for innovation and responsible environmental care, rather than coercion through excessive regulation.

Religious Freedom vs. Imposing Beliefs
Some fear that prioritizing conservative Christian values in governance alienates those who do not share them. The Torah does not call for a theocracy among the nations but does expect righteousness. Torah-pursuant believers in Yeshua understand that laws must reflect moral truths. The Torah instructs non-Israelite nations to uphold basic righteousness (Genesis 9:6, Amos 1-2). Project 2025 does not impose religious conversion but seeks to protect biblical morality as a foundation for a just society. It does not establish a theocracy but ensures that faith-based convictions are not silenced.

Why Torah-Pursuant Believers Should Support Project 2025

A righteous society reflects biblical values in its governance. Project 2025 moves America closer to policies that protect families, defend religious liberties, and promote accountability. The Torah calls for nations to uphold justice, honor God’s design, and protect the vulnerable through community-driven action. While no policy platform is perfect, Project 2025 provides a foundation that aligns more closely with biblical standards than the alternative paths before us. As those who pursue Torah in Messiah, we have a duty to uphold righteousness in the land where we dwell (Jeremiah 29:7).

We must be wise in our approach, ready to support what is good and address what needs refining. But standing on the sidelines is not an option. Our role is to act, speak, and engage, ensuring that biblical principles guide the policies shaping our future.
