Should The Church Stay Out of Politics

 

Before you make a definitive statement regarding the current belief that Christians should not get involved in such a scurrilous thing as politics please consider that the following prohibitive laws were enacted because Christ’s followers persisted against popular culture.

 

Infanticide, do you need a definition?

 

Prostitution; temple, forced and child

 

Killings; revenge, honor and special need/deformed child

 

Child abuse

 

Slavery

 

Animal cruelty

 

Sale of children

 

Child labor

 

Cruel and unusual punishment

 

Selective gender abortion

 

Gladiatorial combat, Death games

 

This is not an all inclusive list of laws the Christians championed by any means , but a representative sampling of previous acts that have been made illegal because believers , beginning in the pulpit, have called sinful and unjust. Remember that government is established to protect the just. Prov 31:8-9 Speak up for those that cannot speak for themselves….defend the rights of the poor and needy. The church did not heed this admonition when Lenin and Hitler assumed control of their governments, either. Mike Hanson
