Bible Note: Greetings Alien Resident! I'm not sure I understand your Scripture reference. For one thing, the quote is not from God, or even from an inspired author. It is an unbeliever advising other unbelievers about their course of action. How does this apply to Christians voting or not? Are we, as Christians, to take advise from unbelievers? Secondly, the context had nothing to do with electing the disciples into a political office, but with the persecution of the disciples because of their teachings. Again, how does this relate in any way to voting or not voting? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
