Evangelism is the most overt political action one can take. It is the literal transference from one political power to another. If politics is the science of ruling over the masses, what do we say of Christ who is the final and ultimate ruler of this world?

“Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus answered, ‘Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them-do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.’” (Luke 13:1-5) Jesus commented on the news stories of his day. Much of the Bible consists of the accounts of government leaders…and the preachers who criticized them. So I don’t apologize for speaking about politics.

Christians should be involved in politics just like any other Muslim or Jewish person etc... should also be allowed and are. What shouldn’t be allowed or involved is for their individual, personal religion cented beliefs to rule over other American citizens who don’t hold those same religious beliefs. This is a democratic republic, not a theocracy. I speak as a Christian myself and my heart breaks for those who are not saved but I can’t support lording over them and imposing laws that deprive them of their Constitutional rights, and as so eloquently put by our Declaration of Independence the natural rights of “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness”

Our Patriarch created Earth, animals, humankind and the hierarchical structures for each of them in relation to one another and towards parts of themselves, and He saw each of them to be good, not perfect (Otherwise, the serpent wouldn't have bee able to slit through, tempting Adam and Eve that resulted in the Original Sin, and Christ wouldn't have been necessary). The Earth is not perfect but good, for on a perfect Earth redemption and salvation are never needed. Each hierarchical structure could be attempted to be climbed through preparations, merit and effort, this includes politics. In having a steadfast faith unto Our Patriarch and His Son, it is possible and, eventually, inevitable to make a strong foundation in family, the church (institutionalized religious system) and in politics (government), preferably, but not exclusively, in that order. In doing so, faith strengthens the affectional bonds towards family, friends and acquiantances, the understanding of communal importance and maintaining (or healing) earnestness amongst believers and clerics, and handling the more political parts of society through governmental distribution to the point that even enemies and former friends (backstabbers) would consider to (re)join the faith, not because of the other person but because of the idea of striving towards a common aspiration to the better. And I am serious when I write as a gay man that having all these 3 aligned grant a grace and severe serenity that no matter the amount of adversarial conflicts and burdens, it all seems bearable and Will become bearable, even when being ridiculed and frowned upon. That bearing the cross across for the cause becomes lighter with such faith. With such faith granted, it has made it possible for me to see past the aquatic surface and being alert of the victim claws of the LGBTQ+ movement, the venomous side of the current, radical 3rd movement of feminism, the treacherous and traitorous smile of communism and cultural Marxism, the suffocating strings of green energy, the Sauron's Eye-ish level of surveillance of internationalism/globalism and the self-destructive intent in enforcing the self-flagellations of "white guilt". All of the aforementioned movements are in politics. Being aware of them whilst keeping familial bonds strong and creating connections in the church require continuous effort and inner investment. All of it is possible by having a learning faith unto Our Patriarch, His Son and the Holy Spirit (the wholesome interest of spiritual matters), acknowledging own flawed human nature and striving to be better through repentance.

Answering the title question: No. As of this comment, Congress is scheduled to vote on a SOGI bill, that falsely declares that LGBTQ+ rights are superior to any other rights. Namely, you will violate certain rights if you in any respect, claim that men & women, are born only men or women. (Or essentially, Adam and Eve were Created as their sex. And that's okay. ) I'm not conveying this problem properly. Basically, despite not having the quality of being Immutable... One's choices for Sexuality or Gender, will be given the Full protection against discrimination.... To the point where in any conflict with other protected categories, those Sogi rights are automatically ruled as superior. Meaning... Say that Museum of the Bible in Washington... Was to have a exhibit on Genesis, with a focus on Adam & Eve's creation as a Male/Female. Depending upon how, or what, is said... they could be held accountable for discrimination against TQ+ rights. Similarly, if this Museum refused to exhibit a TQ+ exhibit, that only tangentially related to the Bible... The museum could also be sued for discrimination. Basically, if Christians Don't get involved in politics when IT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL & FULFILLING THEIR CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY TO GET INVOLVED.... Law's, like those in China, will be passed that increasingly means that it's okay to discriminate against Christians. And other religions, to boot. ( _honestly, I'm under the impression that this new attempt to enshrine sexual orientation & gender identity as functionally superior rights.... will essentially create a new Nobility in America. One where their rights are protected against anybody else's._ )

While it is partly true what he said in the video, that God did create government, He originally didn't want to. When God brought the children of Israel to the promised land, He left them with an anarcho-capitalist system. A few hundred years later, the children of Israel demanded a government and God acquiesced, but it was NOT God's desire for them, it was their desire for themselves. God sent Samuel to tell them all the horrible things a government would do, but they said, 'yeah, but give us a government anyway,' so God did and all the horrible things ensued.

@@Lord_Volkner They had the Law of Moses, which established the system of government. Moses also appointed Joshua and officials to lead them, which were meant to enforce these laws. There was a clear trajectory that the Israeli government was supposed to follow, but they did not obey the covenant. While Israel would descend into anarchy, that is not the same as the government God intended for them. This is why He sent Judges to get them back on track, but they had no lasting effects.

My wife and I live in the Philippines. Sadly, millions of churchgoers here practice idolatry...and I'm not only talking about Catholicism. They idolize an evil man--the president. They praise and adore the profane adulterer who hates God. It's so frustrating. Almost as bad is the idolatry millions of churchgoers in the USA practice: idolizing Trump. He's not as evil as Duterte, but Trump is perpetually petty, proud, peevish, and profane. I will probably vote for Trump, but only because the alternative is much worse. I would never put a Trump sticker on my car or wear a Trump hat. That would be celebrating a sinful man. Trump has some very good policies. Those I can celebrate. But not the man.

I can understand your ambivalence. Being not an american probably disqualifies my in arguing with you. But I want to give you something to consider: "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God." (Rom 13,1) I think, that it doesnt matter what you or anyone thinks about the leader. What matters is that God puts him there - the good guy and the bad guy. As a christian, what you' supposed to do us pray! We should not provoke about him, nor be disobedient to our father. Furthermore we should not be like Israel in the dessert! (Please read 1. Kor 10 about it concerning that topic. I think it shows perfectly how we are in the same situation as them.) Still there should be room to talk about politics. My point was not to stop that. I just think of times when people got killed for questioning the king. Also when Moses was questioned after they received the Law - they got immediately thrown into the darkness. Why should we be allowed to do the same without any consequence? I think there is a consequence for every hateful thought thats spoken out. For it awakes evil desires.. Okay, a lot being said to think about how to talk about our leaders. In the end I think we should be more active with our hands than with our mouth. So I will just say no more, for I am not as active involved in politics as I should.

In America, the government is of the people, by the people and for the people. It is therefore the Christian people's responsibility to govern in accord with God's will, which is to love God and to love one another. It is our God ordained responsibility to participate in politics in this country, but to govern in truth, mercy and humility and not in the way the natural world practices politics with lies, hatred and arrogance.
