Religious Right or Wrong?

  1. Amen and amen. I feel the struggle to hope in any of the men or women who have pronounced themselves my candidate for POTUS.

    Here is a question, if none represents my values or what is important to me who then should I choose. If I am simply choosing the lesser of two evils, am I not choosing evil?

    Just a small question to stir the pot a bit.

    Dwight is Right! …perhaps our next campaign slogan? LOL

    Christians need first to grasp a specific point of Biblical history; human government for God’s people wasn’t God’s idea, it was man’s. God never intended HIS people to establish an earthly human king; this desire on their part was to be like the other nations of the earth and a repudiation of HIM.

    Then, we must acknowledge fallen men will never conceive of and establish, nor could they maintain a perfect system of governance. Sinful man will design sinful (self-serving) systems. And from the point the system is enacted it will be in a constant state of alteration by forces driven by man’s sin.

    Further, Christians would be well served to understand that Democracy is not a corollary to Christianity; it is not of God’s design, but man’s, and has never survived long. Self-destruction is inherent within any system granting every person an equal say as those who will rise to power are the one’s who promise the most people their own personal advantage… even though at the cost of others.

    When I visit a friend’s home or wait for a few minutes in a business place and see their television, my decision to free my own life/heart from that input years ago is vividly affirmed. Though I work much of the day online and must remain current on all things economic, so see thousands of headlines and read articles from both ends of the political spectrum, I can’t imagine what would be cultivated in my mind if I were under constant bombardment by TV propaganda, commercials and talk radio.

    If all Christians developed a Kingdom mindset that tied their faith, trust, hope, joy, energy and focus upon God’s Kingdom, they would understand it doesn’t really matter what transpires with earthly kingdoms–they are all temporary–but that our citizenship is in another, higher kingdom. Which brings me to a final thought… if we know, as we are Biblically assured and see verified throughout history, God’s kingdom flourishes under persecution, why then do Christians focus so energetically on avoiding a society which would involve persecution? Do we care more for our own comfort than for the salvation of many?

    Thanks Jack. I very much resonate with your thinking. I have always said that the seeds of the destruction of democracy are contained within it. Universal suffrage is the nail in the coffin. Your response is very well worded! Dwight
