Should Christians Be Involved In Politics?
Those who tell Christians to, "Stay out of politics," are demanding that we keep Bible-based morality out of the political arena.
They want to deny Christians the right of having a say in who governs us and how we are governed. They are bigots. Because bigots are, by nature, deceitful, they seek to hide their bigotry with words (taken out of context) that make them sound right, such as, "Separation of Church and State." Most of the time, they get away with it. Not today.
Before any human government existed, God existed. From the nature of God we get God's code of right (moral) human conduct. Therefore, God's code of right and wrong for His creation pre-exists all human government. This is just basic common sense. If you create, sustain and own something, then you have the right to make the rules.
The educated among us know that Thomas Jefferson penned the words, "Separation of Church and State," because of his concern that the State was intruding, contrary to the will of God, into areas of Church, faith and morality. "Separation of Church and State," means, at its core, that no human government has the right to alter the moral code for society that God, the creator of mankind, established for society as a expression of His nature. When the State tries to do that, by whatever process, Christians are absolutely obligated to God and society to become involved.
Contrary to the dribble of the ignorant, matters of morality are NOT the prerequisite of the government, but the perquisite of our Creator. Lost people cannot know that. Do not let their ignorance steal that awareness from you.
The Devil and his people cannot defend themselves well against us unless we choose not to confront them. The devil cannot win a battle against us unless he can convince us not to fight. They hope Christians will stay out of politics. Their mantra is, "Separation of Church and State." They hope you are ignorant as to what that statement really means!
Do I believe in "Separation of Church (biblical authority) and State?" Absolutely. The State has no authority to alter the moral code for humanity (God's creation) as established by God in His Word. "Should Christians be involved in politics?" That is a stupid question. Christians are the only ones qualified to be politicians.
