[QUOTE="Betty, post: 30940708, member: 52128"] There is an increase involvement of churches in political activities. Does Jesus ever said.... Get involved in politics and forget to share the gospel of the Lord in the world? This is what Jesus did when confronted with Roman Rule in His time. [B]a. Should we pay taxes to Rome? Jesus said. Give to Caesars what is Caesars and give to God what belongs to God. b. Are you a King? Where is your kingdom? Jesus replied... My kingdom is not of this world. c. Release Barabbas, crucify Him. Barabbas wanted Isreal free from Roman rule. He was a political activist.[/B] Whom then should we obey? Jesus or our political people who are unsaved and need Jesus? [U]Hear what Jesus said. Go ye into the world and preach the gospel.... He never ever said... get involved in political activities which in time will pass away and die out. Yes, Gods word said very clear to all of us... [B]First of all, I urge that petitions and prayers be made for all kings and those in authority.... I Tim. 2.2[/B][/U] This means... all Christians should be in prayer for those in authority, that Jesus will save their souls and for them to come to the knowledge of Gods holy presence leading us all to heaven. After all, this world is not our home.. Heaven is. [/QUOTE]
