1 | Denounce militant Islam? | Matt 5:44 | alienresident | 132086 | ||
"Jesus said he did not come to take us out of this world but to make us salt and light to this world." Jesus next statement is "they are no part of the world, just as I am." What does this mean? Can we look to the nation with the largest weapons arsenal or the greatest wealth and personal freedoms for salvation, or is that spiritual adultery? It was for Israel. Why not for the Christian? If I filled out the write-in line on a ballot, it would read "Come Lord Jesus." Now tell me what difference that would make. Will he come any faster? Will I affect the outcome of the election? My non-vote allows me to remain separate from the world, serving one Master, but does not impact my subjection to Caesar. All Christian requirements are met. |

2 | Denounce militant Islam? | Matt 5:44 | Morant61 | 132097 | ||
Greetings AlienResident! Who said anything about looking to the government for 'salvation'? I don't look to the government for salvation. I vote because I view it as my responsibiity as a citizen, not because I think I will be saved by voting. :-) As I have said before, you are free to choose to vote or not. However, there is nothing in the Bible forbidding voting. So, I will follow my conscience and exercise my rights as a citizen. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
