SHOULD CHRISTIANS VOTE?&SHOULD CHRISTIANS BE INVOLVED IN GOVERNMENT

"
IT IS NOT GOD'S WILL - IF IT IS NOT GOD'S WORD!"
[ANONYMOUS]


Deuteronomy 1:13
Select wise and practical men, those known among your tribes, whom I may appoint as your leaders.
Exodus 18:21
But select from all the people some capable, honest men who fear God and hate bribes. Appoint them as leaders over groups of one thousand, one hundred, fifty, and ten.
Esther 4:14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, ... thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
Proverbs 11:11Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper....
Matthew 10:16Look, I am sending you out as sheep among wolves. So be as shrewd as snakes and harmless as doves.
Proverbs 29:2When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power, they groan.
1 Samuel 8:18When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the LORD will not answer you in that day.
Proverbs 29:16When the wicked are in authority, sin flourishes ...
2 Samuel 23:3“He who rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.”
Psalm 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
Matthew 5:13-14, 16 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden…Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Leviticus 25:10 “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants.”
Luke 20:22-25 “Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?” But He perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test Me? Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” They answered and said, “Caesars.” And He said to them, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesars, and to God the things that are Gods.”
Luke 2:1, 3-5At that time the Roman emperor, Augustus, decreed that a census should be taken throughout the Roman Empire. ... All returned to their own ancestral towns to register for this census. And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He took with him Mary, his fiancée, who was now obviously pregnant.
Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness makes a nation great, but sin diminishes any people.

I also am voting to keep Hillary from starting WW3 with nukes. Everything she said in the debate last night was scary and stupid. Especially letting everyone know on live tv how long it takes the order to release nuclear missiles. Another act of treason.

Should Christians Vote?
Christians can vote.

If they should or should not do that is nothing that can be biblically decided, imho. God did not said anything for or against it.

We only know that it is He who makes every ruler and government. We can be the part of the process, but we do not decide who it will be.

(Pst because not everyone thinks the same)

When presented with the facts and the issues in this election,then considering the platforms the candidates are running on and add what the Bible says about issues like abortion this should be a no brainer. If we read the same Bible we should be in one accord.

It is a responsibility handed down to us from our forefathers. Blood was shed,lives were lost,at great cost our freedoms were fought for. Its is our duty to vote. There people around the world that would love the chance for the freedoms that we enjoy.It we do use them,if we do not cherish them we will lose them. A Christian,above all people should vote.

only if you are a legal citizen, and registered...... and have at least a slight idea of what each candidate stands for.

Agree with the first half. If you dont know what the candidates stand for {not you} you're just plain lazy. No excuses.
