Bible Question:
it is quite obvious that God puts the rulers in power. He uses these people for His purposes,whether they are good or not. As for not talking about political issues when they pertain to the Bible, I believe that is a predjudice, not biblically based. I believe the question was asked in relation to wanting a Biblical answer. Many people don't know everything there is to know, and just honestly want answers, which they assume they might get here. The only problem I can see is that some people on this forum try to mask rudeness by making other people feel small or like they have done something wrong. If we want to elect a godly president to run our ungodly country, we need to find out everything that the candidate stands for, which can be a long process. I do not see any biblical basis for not getting involved in the elections of our presidents, afterall, we the people are the ones who have to live with whoever is elected. As God is actually in control of who is in and who is out, we should make it our business to know what they stand for and what is coming for this country. Above all,we all need to pray as the christians we are to put God back into the government. It could make all the difference in who HE puts in office. God Bless Believer |
Bible Answer: believer 2004: Your post is posed as a question, but it is in fact nothing more than a statement of your opinion. If you want to ask a question, please do and try to make it biblically oriented. It has been pointed out several times by a number of long-time users of this web site that this Forum is a forum for Bible study. It is not a place for venting political opinion or discussing current political issues. Issues such as abortion, the gay agenda, etc. have emerged as political issues to be sure, but they are also biblical issues and hence proper on a Bible study medium such as this Forum; but extended debate and discussion about candidates and their political parties is not. Forum guidelines forbid this sort of activity and seasoned users of this Forum stand firmly against it, not out of prejudice as you suggest, but out of a concerted effort to keep this Forum on track by keeping it centered on Bible study and nothing else. Please accept the rules of this Forum and abide by them. If you wish to make political statements, there are probably other web sites that would welcome your input, but not this one. --Hank |
