Political Voting and the Christian?
Should we get envolved in it all?
by Keith Hunt Christians VOTING in secular political elections?....The whole thing and idea is theologically imbalanced!!! Well, not because a "Christian" can not in God's eyes be an official in Government....for Joseph was and so was Daniel....BUT, and HERE'S THE BIG HUGE MASSIVE BUT.....but those men were TRUE men of God, who had the POWER and the AUTHORITY to rule those under them...(yes, some will be shocked, but it was in many ways...dictatorial power they had). Those two men (Joseph and Daniel) observed the Sabbath, and Feasts of God, and ALL of the Lord's laws etc. and could dictate (especially Joseph) the COMMANDMENTS of God. Joseph was and had all things under his command, the only thing not granted him was the king's wife...remember that part? People do not stop to realize that for a while Egypt, under Joseph, was a GODLY nation, obeying the very commandments of God etc. Our nations today are as far as east is from west in REALLY OBEYING GOD and even "in God we trust" is a laugh. When push comes to pull, we do not trust in God. We have a form of godliness yes, but as Paul said, we deny the POWER thereof. We do not hear much about it any more but ABORTIONS are still being done by the thousands each day. And on and on I could go with our sins and abominations, while we try to say we are "Christian nations." There is NOT ONE Joseph in ANY government of any nation on earth today....if there was one in Canada (where I am) then I would be FIRST in line to vote for him ... but God says in His prophetic word that our priests are PROFANE and our "leaders" are MAD! Tough words, but I did not write them, they are there for all to see in the prophetic word of the Almighty God. Now, look at this logically. So one Christian thinks they are led by the Spirit to vote for this guy for President. But another Christian thinks and believes God's Spirit leads him to vote for this other guy as President, or Primeminister. Hummmm....only ONE becomes President, or Primeminister. So the one that voted for the one that did NOT become President, did he vote then AGAINST God, if we believe the other guy got in because HE was chosen of God. Then if it was the other way around and the one we just said did NOT get in as President, did get in because he was chosen of God, then the first fellow voted against God....it goes in a circle. If you think God is somehow directing whoever, and whatever "political party." The real truth of the matter is that God ain't in any of it to begin with. Maybe now and again God intervenes, for His overall purpose, in some of our national events. I truly believe the Lord did some miracles for Britain and America in the Second World War, so His overall end- time plan for the nations of this world would be according to His will and to His basic plan. But for Him to do such things at times, is still a long way from saying or believing God is "into" our "political form" or parties of politics. If He is then, we are back to having to admit that some "sincere" Christians have voted AGAINST God if voting for the man and his political party that DID NOT gain the power and leadership of our nation, which the other Christians want to say was the "one" chosen by God, the one THEY voted for. Even if a sincere "Christian" as I suppose Reagan was, and as Bush Jr. is, got into power, they are in a straight-jacket pulled by many factors, that are not "godly" and they have to concede and "go with" or "give into" many of those pulls of the political world. The political world is, let's face it, often corrupt, deceitful, often lying, cover-ups, concessionary, and sorry to say, darn right sinful and evil at times. One modern day sin of nations is "abortion on demand" - the so-called "freedom of choice" argument, that has won the day. Has ANY leader of any Western nation DEMANDED and PUSHED for, and taken POWER to STOP abortion on demand? NOT ONE, NOT ONE, whoever you want to name!! The whole thing in our modern world of "politics" and the corruptions and power of "lobby groups" - the lies, the cover-ups, the under-cover deals, what goes on behind closed doors, and the lack of power that even someone like Bush (who claims to be against abortion, as also did Reagan) do not have to prevent sins like abortion (and others that will eventually be here, like gay marriages, in Canada it is just about the law of the land, and surely will be in the next ten years), makes Christians entering the political voting scene a complete SHAM. Now if you can and are given the opportunity to vote on ISSUES,....that is a whole other story. If I was given the chance to vote on an all nation vote, on the issue of abortion...to allow or not allow ... on freedom demand idea ... then I would be FIRST IN LINE to cast my vote. In Canada, we are allowed to vote on "issues" with a big FAT ZERO .... we never have any national vote on "an issue." The fact is if the people were allowed to vote on "death" for certain crimes, Canada would have the death penalty back in this country ... but we AIN'T given a chance to vote on that issue or any other issue. The politics of our nations of the West are corrupt, there is no Joseph anywhere in ANY of the parties in ANY of our nations. I have NEVER voted, not once, in any Government election. I'm still looking for a Joseph, when I find him, then and only then will I vote. And even if there was a Joseph out there I doubt he would even get out of the dugout in this modern political world. He would be laughed at, ridiculed, made fun of. Why, such a Joseph, would not even be liked by the majority of Christians, for the majority of Christians do not live according to the way and mindset of a man of God like Joseph. Keith Hunt |
