Should Christians get involved in government?

There is no "probability" about the major election fraud and crime committed against the United States of America. Even Leftist TIME magazine said as much. Had the feckless and treasonous Supreme Court done its job, Trump would still be president.

It is not only amusing but totally disingenuous for Trump haters to focus on his foibles while they voted for an actual criminal who should have been behind bars with his son. Trump was definitely not a traitor but Biden is that and worse.

Getting back to the OP, the man is correct in saying that Christians must make their influence known through the ballot box. But now it is too late for ballot boxes. When illegal migrants who are not even citizens (and in fact criminals) are voting and distorting the ballot, then the USA has become worse than many third world countries. Even India has a better record for clean elections.

Those Christians who are called by God to get directly involved in government should do so.

Personally, I believe that we are all called to be involved by means of prayer. I also believe that we should exercise the freedom to vote, and to speak up on issues that concern us.

Were not thos cited enlisted by their captors? I hardly call this willing service rather service by happenstance.
Would you say our Lord should have served Herod or Caesar? Absurd and not according to the Holy Spirit.

I'm trying to figure out how other believers see their duty. So you believe as some sects do that even in the face of evil you are to remain silent?

Yes I agree with that so why aren't there more Christians and Christian pastors speaking out about the tyranny that has come upon us? Has anyone here read "Gulag Archipelago"? We are headed into full-blown loss of our freedoms communism. Where is the uproar? Terrorists are coming across our borders. Not nary a peep from the American people. Here is a quote from a man put in a concentration camp:

Remember Solzhenitsyn’s words in the GULAG ARCHIPELAGO: “Resistance should have began right there but it did not begin. You aren’t gagged, you really can and you really ought to cry out that arrests are being made on the strength of false accusations. If many such outcries had been heard all over the city would arrests have no longer have been so easy.”

They, the tyrants, can’t work in the public eye. Those people who were so apathetic, hoping that nothing was really wrong, that nothing would happen to their persons and property, sat back and watched.

If you think that all (that) is necessary is to pay your bills, to go vote when there is an election, and to stand back during the rest of tht year and watch as your country and way of life are replaced by a system in which you will be a slave in a concentration camp, you – not the conspirators – are guilty because you, by silent acquiescence, invite tyranny and oppression.

Yes I agree with that so why aren't there more Christians and Christian pastors speaking out about the tyranny that has come upon us?

I believe we should pray. However I don't believe our votes - at least nationally and in some cases our state - matter. My spouse worked with a guy who said he found that his dead father "voted" before him - his name was in the book. I contacted the state and no one even got back to me. That showed me that they know it's going on.

The way the US government is set up- the citizens are supposed to be at least somewhat engaged if not totally active.
The idea was that Americans were going to be a moral and smart people... that didnt turn out quite how it was supposed to. But we can work on that.
Christian's should vote their conscience IMO. It's okay to abstain if your young and clueless, but just doing nothing in the political sphere your whole life is irresponsible.

Jesus Yeshua has taught plainly, we are to render unto Caesar what belongs to him.

Another, no good soldier will envolve himself in civilian pursuits.

One more, you cannot serve God and mammon.

These simple teachings say it all, however many have become dull to the understanding.

If one were to put Ceasar and Herod into a political party, they would have all the trappings of the right wing..

If one were to be exactly as was Jesus Yeshua, he would be considered left wings.

The only wings under God are in Heaven for both stances are wrong.

We are of the Kingdom with a King and we obey Him, not men, not when they are opposed to the will of our Father, and there is NO government on the face of this ti9red old globe which has obtained the nod from above, not Europe, not the US, not Issrael on our maps, not S. America, no one. Show me a nation which truly works to please Jesus Yeshau, and DI will show you the Kingdom, nothing of this age.

Jesus never taught that.

Speaking out against evil is a Christian's responsibility.

Not exactly. Daniel rose to the second highest place in Babylon on his own merits (as did Joseph in Egypt, both having God's hand upon them). And Ezra and Nehemiah were free men who returned to Judea and rebuilt Jerusalem and the temple (with the king's blessings and treasure). Obviously, Christ did not come to earth to serve any earthly king or emperor.

Not how successful they were is the crux of my post it is how they each began. None asked for their position, they were enlisted.

And so are you.
