Answer: If there is anything that will spark a spontaneous debate, if not an outright argument, it is a discussion involving politics—even among believers. As followers of Christ, what should be our attitude and our involvement with politics? It has been said that “religion and politics don’t mix.” But is that really true? Can we have political views outside the considerations of our Christian faith? The answer is no, we cannot. The Bible gives us two truths regarding our stance towards politics and government.

The first truth is that the will of God permeates and supersedes every aspect of life. It is God’s will that takes precedence over everything and everyone (Matthew 6:33). God’s plans and purposes are fixed, and His will is inviolable. What He has purposed, He will bring to pass, and no government can thwart His will (Daniel 4:34-35). In fact, it is God who “sets up kings and deposes them” (Daniel 2:21) because “the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes” (Daniel 4:17). A clear understanding of this truth will help us to see that politics is merely a method God uses to accomplish His will. Even though evil men abuse their political power, meaning it for evil, God means it for good, working “all things together for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28).

Second, we must grasp the fact that our government cannot save us! Only God can. We never read in the New Testament of Jesus or any of the apostles expending any time or energy schooling believers on how to reform the pagan world of its idolatrous, immoral, and corrupt practices via the government. The apostles never called for believers to demonstrate civil disobedience to protest the Roman Empire’s unjust laws or brutal schemes. Instead, the apostles commanded the first-century Christians, as well as us today, to proclaim the gospel and live lives that give clear evidence to the gospel’s transforming power.

There is no doubt that our responsibility to government is to obey the laws and be good citizens (Romans 13:1–2). God has established all authority, and He does so for our benefit, “to commend those who do right” (1 Peter 2:13–15). Paul tells us in Romans 13:1–8 that it is the government’s responsibility to rule in authority over us—hopefully for our good—to collect taxes, and to keep the peace. Where we have a voice and can elect our leaders, we should exercise that right by voting for those who best demonstrate Christian principles.

One of Satan’s grandest deceptions is that we can rest our hope for cultural morality and godly living in politicians and governmental officials. A nation’s hope for change is not to be found in any country’s ruling class. The church has made a mistake if it thinks that it is the job of politicians to defend, to advance, and to guard biblical truths and Christian values.

The church’s unique, God-given purpose does not lie in political activism. Nowhere in Scripture do we have the directive to spend our energy, our time, or our money in governmental affairs. Our mission lies not in changing the nation through political reform, but in changing hearts through the Word of God. When believers think the growth and influence of Christ can somehow be allied with government policy, they corrupt the mission of the church. Our Christian mandate is to spread the gospel of Christ and to preach against the sins of our time. Only as the hearts of individuals in a culture are changed by Christ will the culture begin to reflect that change.

Believers throughout the ages have lived, and even flourished, under antagonistic, repressive, pagan governments. This was especially true of the first-century believers who, under merciless political regimes, sustained their faith under immense cultural stress. They understood that it was they, not their governments, who were the light of the world and the salt of the earth. They adhered to Paul’s teaching to obey their governing authorities, even to honor, respect, and pray for them (Romans 13:1-8). More importantly, they understood that, as believers, their hope resided in the protection that only God supplies. The same holds true for us today. When we follow the teachings of the Scriptures, we become the light of the world as God has intended for us to be (Matthew 5:16).

Political entities are not the savior of the world. The salvation for all mankind has been manifested in Jesus Christ. God knew that our world needed saving long before any national government was ever founded. He demonstrated to the world that redemption could not be accomplished through the power of man, economic strength, military might, or politics. Peace of mind, contentment, hope, and joy—and the salvation of mankind—are provided only through Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Religion has many divisions of teachings and Public School Teachers are NOT qualified to teach religion except generally.  If Religion is taught it should be taught as part of a many religion course that also includes the many religions around the World.

If parents want their children taught Christianity, they should enroll them in a school that teaches their division choice.  Not all Christians are Catholic.  Also, parents can take their children to their Church of choice as well.  There are other organizations to choose from as well … like camps, daily vacation Bible School, etc.

Trump should be impeached. He does NOT represent or reflect God’s Way or Will.  He is not a true conservative.  He and his National Evangelicals are counterfeit conservatives and have in their own minds changed the meaning of conservative.  The US government is no longer stable, just, truthful, or dependable.

The only acceptable dictator is God through Jesus Christ at the Second Coming.  The only acceptable KING OF KINGS is Jesus Christ.  God said so!

If a foreign country wanted to annihilate the USA, now would be a good time to initiate it as the whole country including government, military, and everything else is in chaos. If Iran assassinated Trump, instead of retaliation, Iran should be given a reward!

Trump thinks that if he receives immunity while President or thereafter in a Earthly legal system, that he will not be held accountable for his actions or daisy chained effects thereof.  Even if he received such immunity, he WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE thereafter.

He will spend over 1000 years in Hell, face White Throne Judgement, and the Lake of Fire [alive or dead at time of being thrown into it].  He also has lead many people away from their faith and replaced God with himself in their lives and concepts.  Money or prison will not get him out of the accountability problem he will eventually face.  He is 78 going on 79 years and is a stressed man.  If I were him, I would spend much more time worrying about this than his legal trickeries.

Also, I hope he is impeached and found guilty of such.  He should leave the Presidency in disgrace.

God said: Vengeance is mine!

Therefore, Trump is NOT to seek vengeance on his perceived enemies.  If National Evangelicals support him and are backing his Presidency as Trump claims, then why can he seek vengeance when all of humanity is told clearly that they cannot do so!

The “Right” putting Christianity in schools?

If I had a kid in school at any level, I would pull them out of school for “homeschooling” or into a “religious school that I had investigated” that taught “true Bible Scripture meanings” and not the misguided shit they are trying to teach children by unqualified teachers [for Bible interpretations].

Considering that these so-called supporters of Christianity teaching Bible Scriptures are supporting Trump [his actions, policies, plans of policies, and legal/moral problems], I question their capability of having a true relationship with God, Christ, or the Holy Spirit.

If my child gets taught Christianity, I would want it to be the “true” God’s Scriptures with the Holy Spirit’s revelations not the questionable counterfeit Christianity.

From the book “The Political Teachings of Jesus” by Tod Lindberg.

On the second page of the Preface of the book:  “Jesus introduced the idea of universal freedom and equality produced when people recognize the freedom of others by treating them the way they themselves would like to be treated”.  Jesus proposed instead a political order organized on the principle of shared recognition of freedom and equality — a community of goodwill.

Jesus – was not and is not – Democratic or Republican.
