1. Christian and Politics
 I am not going to go into much detail about my political views here, but I do want to say that I believe in God and Jesus Christ. I am a Christian first and foremost. I have been raised in a Christian home and was taught to love God and others. I believe that we should treat everyone with respect and dignity regardless of their background or beliefs. We should strive to live our lives according to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
 2. Political Views
 I am a Democrat. I believe that government should work for the people and not just the wealthy elite. I believe that we need to make sure that everyone has access to healthcare and education. I believe that we can help those who are less fortunate if we try hard enough. I believe that we must protect the environment and animals. I believe that we have a responsibility to take care of each other.
 3. How does religion play a role?
 I think that Christianity has played a huge role in shaping me into the person that I am today. I grew up in a Christian household where I learned to love God and others and to treat them with respect and dignity. I believe that we are all created equal and deserve to be treated equally. I believe that we were put on earth to serve God and others. I feel that we are all responsible for taking care of each other and the planet. I believe that we all have a duty to take care of ourselves and the world around us.
 4. What would you change about the way things are now?
 I would change the way things are right now. I would like to see a system where we don't have to worry about money anymore. I would like to create a system where everyone has access to healthcare. I would like to make sure that everyone gets educated and has a job. I would like to ensure that everyone has food and shelter. I would like to improve the environment and make sure that the Earth stays alive.
 5. Do you believe that the Bible is the word of God?
 Yes, I do. I believe that the Bible is inspired by God and is his word. I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and that he died on the cross for our sins. I believe that he rose again and that he is coming back soon. I believe that he will return to judge the living and the dead. I believe that he loves us and wants us to follow him. I believe that he sent his only begotten Son to die for our sins. I know that he is real and that he is coming soon.
 6. What do you believe about abortion?
 I believe that abortion is wrong. I believe that it is murder. I believe that it takes away the life of a human being. I believe that it should be illegal. I believe that women should have the choice to decide what they do with their bodies.
 7. What do you believe happens after death?
 I believe that after we die, we go to heaven or hell depending on how good or bad we lived our lives. I believe that we get judged based on our actions. I believe that we either go to heaven or hell. I believe that we spend eternity with God. I believe that we will be reunited with loved ones.

Normally politics is something that will accommodate all kind of people. The way people have taken religion,  they think having interest on politics will make the backslide from what they believe.  Whoever is good is good, if politics will make people to deviate from from their belief that means they have never change.

I will like to say this religion and politics can't be submerged together. If a religious fellow gets involved in politics one of two things are bound to occur, its either they get too rigid that their administration becomes too boring or they compromise and become worst than the core politicians. In the christian holy book a popular prayer goes, Lead us not into temptation and believe me or not christians getting involved in politics is a big temptation for them

I won't comment anything on Christianity specifically but almost all the religions advocate the same thing to not to lie. But if you see almost all the religious stories you'll find politics was the backbone of all the dynasties in the mythology. Also churches or any other religious institutions are places where politics is played the most. The people use politics so much to reach to the heights of these institutions. So i don't think it's a sin to practice poltics.

Politics is for everyone , for all religion.  The people  bad and corrupt people we have in politics belong to a religion. People see politics as a ground to make money,  whoever joins politics and does not have self control towards money will change to steal much money as possible because politicians see politics as life opportunity to steal money. Anybody can politics,  it is left for people to have self control to remain good.  Politics is not designed for only bad people.

Regardless of religion you will always find the good and the bad ones, same applicable in genders as well, but when we are talking of politics, we should be mindful that it's different fron religious practice, Christian religion is a way of life after Christ, politics is a career path in life to choose to serve people and not God, but that's not annexcuse from serving God because at the end we will all be accountable regardless of our position, career or ambition in life.

Do not immediately assume that people who are Christians are all bad people. There may be many people who are good in nature, even though they are Christians.

Politics is for everyone. If politics is limited, and only for a handful of people then it is not called politics.

This is just my opinion, don't always jump to conclusions that are bad for other people.

Ministers of God have their job... training Christians. Since only a small percent of Christians are ministers, there are a whole lot of them that can be Christian politicians. The ministers should, as ministers, preach the truth and what is right. That way Christian politicians will know how to act.

However, in the USA, there is generally nothing that says a minister cannot change his occupation and become a politician. But get out of the ministry first, and try to get somebody else who is good and right to take your place.

First thing first, politics is different from Christianity lifestyle, a Christian can participate in politics and there's nothing bad in it, but does every politician fear God? No, thisbis common and notbonky in politics but every life strata, it is wrong for a man of God to endorse a political candidate for a position, he can bless him privately but very wrong to make a public proclamation of a candidate, we need to bebvery careful on how we relate political things with the dealings of the Lord, give caesar what belongs to it, give God what is due to Him.

Actually on this issue is so complicated because some of the gospel may be saying the true base on what they see and how they see the person, that is what he had done before. The gospel will say this with fear of God. But some of the gospel do it base on their personal interests, that is what they are getting from that person.

Politics should not be connected to religion, when candidates are contesting we should make sure we select the best candidate irrespective of the candidates religion, religion have been affecting politics in my country, people will see the right candidate but they won’t vote for him because they are not the same religion, they will endup voting for the candidate that’s there religion or tribe. We should all learn how to vote for the right candidate irrespective of there religion or tribe, we both have good Christian and bad once, we are also having good Muslim’s and bad once.

That's what I think we should do. We should make the platform a candidate runs on to be a contract. If he wins, and doesn't fulfill his campaign contract, execution.

It is perfectly good for christains to be involved in politics, because the bible says "when the righteous the people rejoice. proverbs 29:2" getting your dirty in politics is a thing of choice and not fulfiling your campaign promises is about personal integrity so saying christains should not be involved in politics is true

Take a look at the pictures of Biden's recent talk in Milwaukee. Then compare them with the crowds of people for Trump in 2020. Trump beat Biden by landslides... dozens of them. And he will again prove stronger... prove what a practicing Christian can do over somebody that you could barely tell by his actions, that he is a Christian.


MORE PROOF The Election Was STOLEN!!!

God created man to be ruled by the laws of spirit rather than his fellow man. However, because of sin, we are subject to human rules that are full of lies, nepotism, tribalism, and other societal vices that we see today. Politics is about lies, deception, and corruption, and a Christian who has been redeemed from sin and Satan should not participate in it. There is nothing good in it, and true Christians filled with the Holy Spirit have no desire for it.

Some Christians participate in politics and they are still clean and they still hold to the faith they believe. The reason why some Christian don't like politics is because they feel if they go into politics they may fall in faith , that's is why some Christian believers are not interested in it.

Politics IS a religion. Political dedication among politicians is way stronger than most religions among those who are members of their various faiths. One must indeed be extremely grounded in his Christian faith to pick up the religion of politics and maintain his own Christian religion at the same time.

Religion has undergone a transition and has now become a tool to for control and self enrichment. Religion has no place in government. Any religious fanatic going into politics should keep his beliefs in his household.
Christians are free to go into politics but must be able to follow the constitution and laws of the nation  knowing they are governing and representing not just their household but people of different religion and beliefs.
Religion is personal and should be kept that way. The common ground of christianity is love. We already have laws and rules and definitely do not need any radical religious rules in government. Religion and government should be kept apart and religious leaders should never be political.

The Christian faith was founded upon the belief that Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose again. He is the only way to God. Christians believe that he is the son of God who came down to earth to die for us. We believe that his death paid for our sins and we have been given eternal life. We believe that Jesus is the savior of mankind. visit this site

Trump's a Christian. So is Putin. Biden is the perfect example of what politics can do to a Christian.
