Topic: Religious leaders no suppose venture into politics. (Read 38 times)

Yes we all know say clergy men and woman are well respected people in the society. But that does not deny them of their fundamental right of voting. Religious leader are human so therefore they all have thier interest. Me i believe say when God's people rule, the people are happy . Because they will benefit directly from the governance . But the aspect wey be say Man of God  dey take lie say God tell them this or that about who go win and at the end of the day them no win. They really bring shame for church. But to me if them fit influence the political outcome of the society well positively e go good too.

Yes Religious leaders are not supposed to be telling us who to vote and claiming it is coming from God that they saw a revelation of who is going to be the next leader. They are using God's name to lie and that is not good as they are misleading the Christian followers but I would not agree that they should not be involved in politics. Politics is opened to everybody therefore the religious leaders can also vote for who they want to become our leaders but they should do it without telling others that God asked them to vote the politician that they are supporting. Politicians are usually the ones that go to meet the religious leaders because they know they have alot of people that listen to them therefore they try to buy them with money and it works most times.

Pastors, clergymen and all religions leaders are citizens of the country and as such have all the right in them to get involved in whatever political happenings that is going on in the country. For me, it's totally wrong if they refuse getting involved in who leads the country because the decision of who leads affect everyone including his entire congregation.

The only instance when as a religious leader you should be reserved in political issues is when there is a tendency that through your influence, you can will your members to supporting a particular candidate which can in a way look like an abuse of office.

A clergyman that makes fake prophecy who the outcome of an election just to gain the acceptance of politician is never a good clygyman in the first place but normally, its never wrong that you express your constitution right during an election even if you're a pastor. You can even play an advisory role and give your honest opinion on what you think of the asperant without directly telling them who they should vote for.

Clergy men and women are the most respectable set of people in any society,on that note,they are not expected to get themselves involve in any political gathering or even coming out openly to make choice of leader as it is against the ethics governing the Christendom family,that’s reminds me there was a time when Christianity was a unefying force which promotes values,benefits and culture of people living therein.But nowadays Religious leaders are the one that choose political leader and front them to their members because of selfish interest.I have made to understand that in the scale of 1-100% problems we are facing in a political terrain,about 90% is coming from those sycophants calling themselves men of God.
    Most of them will use the name of God to lie in order to gain favour from this political leaders which is not suppose to happen,it is been assumed that any religious leader that indulge in this act is not worthy to be called MAN OF GOD because it really displays a high level ridicule and mockery in the HOUSE OF GOD.I don’t think,it right for a clergyman to get his or herself involved in any political affiliation,they are to stand a neutral ground.
 I no suppose talk on dis kind topic but dey way some religions leaders come dey carried away because of this small money wey diz hungry politicians dey give dem,on a norms dey no suppose bring diz kind thing near church,that’s more reasons am strongly against them.
