1 | Denounce militant Islam? | Matt 5:44 | alienresident | 132180 | ||
Tim: I've made the case for Christian neutrality with Scripture. You said: "By the way, Rom. 13:1 literally says, '...for there is no authority except from God'. So, this verse certainly doesn't say that God only allows rullers to rule. He is the source of their authority." If this is the case, I don't see how your voting or my not will matter anyway. It only matters if I'm correct that elections are a worldly matter and a result of man exercising his freewill. If we can't agree on that, there's really no way all the Scriptures in the world will persuade you. I'm still scratching my head - voting for a person whom God selects? Don't quite see the need or benefit. Does God also dictate the subsequent actions of those he "elects?" Wouldn't he then bear all responsibility? What if we tried to remove or replace someone God has appointed? Aren't we then fighting against God? Please, speak to me as to a child. |

Greetings Resident Alien! I respectfully disagree that you have made the 'case for Christian neutrality with Scripture'. You haven't presented any Scripture dealing with voting or not voting. You have quoted a couple of verses out of context and stated your opinion, but you have made (IMHO) a Scripture case at all. That is where we differ. I am perfectly content to allow you the freedom to not vote, but you seem to be stating that anyone who disagrees with your view is not as spiritual. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
