Subject: Why vote when there's so much partiality |
Bible Note: Dear Humility, When Christ returns to judge the living and the dead, it will be in God's own time. Governments are intended to punish evil and reward good. When they get that turned around, they bring down temporal judgment on themselves. Governments don't have souls. They exist only in the here and now. God is holy. The final judgment won't come to the world as a consequence of what governments do. Judgment will come as a vindication of God's holiness against sinful men (Romans 9:22). Have you not read? This IS the judgment, that men loved darkness and rejected the Light (John 3:19). I know there are lots of books and movies that the popular Christian culture find titillating. But we're a forum based on sola Scriptura. Hence, we want to be very careful not to go beyond the Word itself into speculation -- regardless of how appealing these things are to the masses (2 Timothy 4:3-4). We are told to render to Caesar (the earthly kingdom) what is Caesar's and God (the heavenly kingdom) what is God's (Matthew 22:21). How do you think that admonition of Jesus works itself out in our involvement in the political process? In Him, Doc |
