Zone1 Jesus intended that Christians be politically-active

[The Sage of Main Street]

Christians are commanded to be the salt of the earth,

Gaze at the Sky While the Earth Crumbles

Nothing grows on soil that is salted. That's why the Romans salted the earth around Carthage, their worst enemy.

Roman Christians were escapists who wouldn't participate in Roman society at a decadent time when political and military participation was needed most.

it refers to the idea that Christians, as followers of Jesus, are called to be a positive influence on the world, acting like salt that preserves and enhances the flavor of food, meaning they should bring goodness and positive change to society through their actions and values

 

[kjw47]

That falls on the leaders, and to the extent we have a say, US for the choices we make

Not in this world--The ultra rich have all the say.

 

[kjw47]

Are you some kind of a Luddite who believes that Christians shouldn't vote or run for political offices?

Jesus said--be no part of this world--the wise listen to him and obey him. Did you miss Rev 16? With 3 inspired expressions from satans side-EVERY kingdom( govt, armies, supporters) will be mislead to stand in opposition to Gods king= 99% on Earth, they are that way now as well.
