The Roman Empire is gone but what was fostered and incubated within it would have world changing ramifications that we now experience.
God uses His people to shake societies. Pray and Act. Good deeds are a product of our faith and in that we bring the light within the world.
Yep... but don't tell some of the people here that.
There is no reason behind the thought process that condemns political involvement. None. There is certainly nothing moral behind it. And, they cannot back this stance up with Scripture unless they misrepresent the case for such involvement.
Conservatives are just as wicked as the Left. Uhh... no they're not. Are some? Sure. Is conservatism? Most definitely not, and it is the Christian's responsibility to serve his/her society by supporting such a philosophy in our halls of power. Otherwise, do not complain or blame prophecy when bonafide persecution starts. The fault is
yours.
Voting only has one flawed person supporting another flawed person. And, in case you haven't heard, Jesus is coming back to make it all right in the end. Nothing you do will make that happen before then! Indeed. Who said it would? However, the Word tells us to be submissive to other humans. If we are to be submissive to a sinful pastor or husband or employer, how is it that we're not supposed to vote for people who are likewise imperfect, but who have the right overall values? And, how does this free you from the responsibility of trying to create as much good as possible with what you have? The more good, the less evil. The less evil, the less God's wrath.
Because voting for imperfect good is as bad as voting for pure evil. I cannot even respond to this insane thought process.
We get saved through Christ, not politics. Who disagrees with this? Who said otherwise? Being concerned about the leadership of your country is not anything near the notion that government
saves you. That's a pagan / Leftist tenet. This shows these folks have not thought this through or really investigated what their opposition is saying.
I serve in the army of Christ, not man! Serving in the military is wrong. Jesus never said that. John the Baptist never said that. In fact, Jesus commended the one centurion for his faith, but never told him to stop doing his job. Never mind that there would be no law enforcement (for the government that God established) or defense for your way of life from outside powers. Man are we Christian smart or what!
Would you condemn those ministers who started the anti-slavery movement in the US? Or, those soldiers who fought the South? Yeah, you probably would. If you're not willing to fight to perpetuate your freedoms in a western nation, you do not deserve to have them.
Only for those who have ears...
