Here we are Christians, again addressing a topic that is not in direct language in the scriptures. While not in direct language it is in principle mentioned at length. OK, we are talking about voting, about participation in the governments of this world. Should Christians vote and participate in politics ?
I have heard many lines of reasoning defending Christians who vote and involve themselves in politics. I have heard the evidence against Christians in politics. So we have a halting between two different opinions. In the final analysis our own opinions are worthless and only GODS opinion will stand.
We as Christians have been bought with a price, that price was the life of GODS son. 1 Corinthians 6:19,20 We do not belong to ourselves, GOD owns us, and we are spiritual slaves as Paul says. 1 Corinthians 7:22 We are to be representatives of GOD and Christ and the kingdom that GOD will bring to the earth in the future. We are ambassadors of the kingdom of GOD on earth. 2 Corinthians 5:20 An ambassador takes no part in politics of the kingdom or nation he is sent to. There are spiritually only two kingdoms that exist, the kingdom of GOD (light) and the kingdom of Satan (darkness).
Gods kingdom is yet in heaven while Satans kingdom is on the earth, Satan is by the will of GOD , the god of this world, GOD gave it to Satan when Adam sinned. Luke 4:6 John 12:31 John 14:30 John 16:11 1 John 5:19 Ephesians 2:2 Christ was sent into the world to qualify as a new king that GOD has appointed to bring GODS kingdom to earth at a future time. Until that time comes the church is GODS agent on earth representing HIS kingdom as lights that shine in the darkness . All Christians owe their total and complete allegiance, loyalty and dedication to GOD and faithfully wait and watch for that kingdom to come. While Jesus was on Earth he was the light of the world, now he is gone and the church is now the light. Matthew 5:14,15,16 John 9:5 John 8:12 Ephesians 5:8
So these are the two kingdoms and Christians should know facts concerning both of them. While we are the elect saints we are considered citizens of GODS kingdom now, Philippians 3:20 , now we are called the sons of GOD and heirs with Christ and when our ambassadorship is over we inherit the kingdom of GOD on the earth. If while given this high honor with its exceedingly great and precious promises, we participate in Satans government, Satans kingdom of darkness , in any way, not just voting, but this article concerns voting, this would be spiritual treason. Ephesians 5:11 I am exposing in this article the fruitless works of darkness, so that you, a Christian, would not be involved in both kingdoms at the same time. This GOD will not permit, 1 Corinthians 10:20,21,22 1 Corinthians 6:14,15,16 James 4:4 Christians that stop voting for evil do face the judgment of the carnal people that do vote. They will be ostracized and accused of being unpatriotic or failing to be a good citizen of Satans kingdom of darkness. To involve ourselves in any way with the kingdom of GODS enemy is spiritual treason. If this is being done in ignorance by a Christian babe it can be forgiven when the babe comes to his senses and sincerely repents and asks GOD to forgive them. If this treason is committed by a mature Christian that knew his masters will about fraternternization with the enemy by willfully taking part in the enemy’s government the penalty is everlasting death, it is the unpardonable sin. This person has betrayed GODS kingdom by participating in Satans kingdom. Make no mistake, voting in human governments is a betrayal of all that a Christian is to stand for, believe in and be totally loyal to.
The very kingdom of darkness ruled by Satan that GOD will destroy, you join in with it. The dog returns to its own vomit and the sow that was washed to its wallowing in the mire. Does this sound familiar ? It would be far better for a person to have never known the way of righteousness then after knowing it turn from it. 2 Peter 2:21 For a Christian to do anything contrary to all the sound doctrine and beliefs of the church is either by ignorance or deliberate unrepentant behavior. Christians, be honest with yourself before GOD and Christ. If you are a voter in Satans kingdom you are in opposition to the kingdom of GOD.
Let’s adjust a few scriptures to make them agree with the idea that Christians can vote in Satans kingdom.
Titus 3:1 be subject to the rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good and be sure that you vote.
Romans 13:1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities for there is no authority except that which is of GOD. So get out and vote .
Matthew 6:33 Seek you first the kingdom of GOD and second the kingdom of Satan.
Colossians 1:13. For HE has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the son that HE loves but it’s OK if you still vote in the kingdom of darkness.
Acts 26:18 To open their eyes so that they may turn from the darkness to light and from the power of Satan to GOD, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in me and their vote in Satans kingdom of darkness.
John 12:46. I have come into the world as a light so that no one who believes in me should remain in darkness unless of course they want to vote in the kingdom of darkness.
1 Peter 2:9 “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for GODS own possession, to proclaim the virtues of HIM who called you out of darkness into HIS marvelous light. But if you want to run into the darkness and vote for Satans rulers that’s OK too.”
None of these verses say, go vote, they say to submit to the nations laws you happen to be in. Romans 13:5 it’s a matter of conscience because of GODS love, because GODS love fulfills any law, Romans 3:10 therefore if you have GODS spirit you need not fear the earthly authorities. 1 Peter 2:13,14 submitting is not voting, Matthew 22:21 here Caesar represents any form of government and we are to render to government what government demands but not if it is our higher duty to obey GOD rather than men. The entire reason we do this is in, 1 Timothy 2:1,2 “so that we can live tranquil and quiet lives in all GODLINESS and dignity.” Nothing here says go vote.
Many will say I am exaggerating or being unreasonable but they are only trying to make excuses for themselves. They claim to be in the light but actually love the darkness. This is hypocrisy.
The contrast between light and darkness is so very obvious. There is to be no crossing back and forth between the two kingdoms, between light and darkness. Voting is participating in the kingdom of darkness. Satan sets up the evil rulers of this world under the control of one of his demons. When you vote in Satans kingdom your voting for evil and your vote means nothing anyway because Satan places these fallen angels as he sees fit. Satan will not consider your vote as a way of controlling his kingdom and GOD will not allow voting in HIS kingdom either. Voting is a form of nothingness it is emptiness in either kingdom for the same reason; GOD has ultimate power and control of HIS kingdom and so does Satan over his kingdom and no one in either of these kingdoms has any say in it by the idea of voting. People come up with the excuse to support their voting and taking part in politics by saying, “while I am living here I must vote for the provision and protection of my family and friends, people I love, it is my civic responsibility”. Whatever happened to first and only going to GOD in prayer and make our petitions to HIM. Philippians 4:6 1 Peter 5:7 People reason out things with a mind incapable of arriving at the correct answer, Proverbs 3:5,6 Matthew 6:25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34
Psalm 118:8,9 Satan wants you to trust in him but does GOD wants you to trust in Satan ? What do you hope to accomplish by voting that GOD cannot accomplish for you ?
When you became a Christian you became a slave, the property of GOD, this is what you agreed to, do you not know this ? You entered a Covenant a holy agreement with GOD. You were called out of the world spiritually, you citizenship is now in the heavens. You now have life everlasting in you. Oh that’s nice but I really want to go back into the darkness a cast my vote for one of Satans ministers. This is not just about religion or churches, it’s about your entire complete life, in everything. Colossians 3:17 1 Peter 2:5 James 1:17 Colossians 3:3 2 Corinthians 5:17 1 Peter 1:3,4,5
There is the darkness of this world and the light of GOD and Christ. We are to walk in the light but if you want to vote you must walk in darkness. This is not a trivial matter, it is extremely serious.
What would people think of you if you voted in Russian elections or in China or Iran, or If you would be like IIhan Omar who prioritizes her loyalty to Somalia over the U.S. Loyalty is important in any human endeavor and to be disloyal is considered to be unfaithful, treacherous or a traitor. What are you if you enter a covenant with GOD to come out of the darkness of this Satanically controlled world but yet participate in its politics ? If Jesus is your husband why do you go out on dates with the devil ?
Every person anywhere in this world who is a politician or ruler of any kind is a child of the devil. President Trump says he is going to bring in a new golden age, GOD says that HE is going to bring in a new golden age, which age do you want ? Perhaps you think you can have both, if so then you are spiritually blind. This golden age and who offers it is a choice between two trees again; Matthew 7:18 human governments are evil fruit, GODS government is good fruit. 1 John 5:19 Ephesians 2:2 Galatians 1:4 Colossians 1:13 1 John 2:15,16,17 James 4:4 Romans 12:2 Matthew 13:38 Voting is of this world and does not exist in the kingdom of GOD and voting is of the Devil.
If you are a Christian you are engaged to Jesus , he is your husband you are his bride, you , like him, are not of this world and when he returns there will be a wedding supper to consummate your marriage . This is your commitment that you made when you were baptized and received the Holy Spirit. GOD and Christ will hold you to this covenant. You are not to do anything that violates this covenant as that would be spiritual adultery. GOD has a government that you as a Christian are to be loyal to and not to any other government. Satan has a government and rules over the people in it, the children of the Devil, the children of disobedience. All human governments are under Satanic control, Satan is the god of this world. It makes no difference what form of government, they are all of Satan. Christians are no longer part of Satan or his governments but have been called out of them all into GODS government, the kingdom of GOD. GOD has appointed Jesus as king of the kingdom of GOD and he and his FATHER rule over us. Taking part in any of Satans governments is not wanting Christ as your only king. This is the same as Israel wanting a human king instead of GOD being their king. Israel, in their covenant, swore absolute obedience to GOD but broke the covenant by rejecting GOD as their king. You do the same thing when you vote, you want men to rule over you instead of Christ. You cannot have it both ways you cannot serve both GOD and Satan. If you are a Christian you will be of GODS love and will do no harm to anyone and do not need human governments to dictate to us what good and evil is. Romans 13:1-7 is not saying go vote, it says obey the laws of the nation you are in if they do not conflict with the will of GOD. Christians are scattered to the four winds, in many different nations and while they differ they are still all of the Devil. Things like homosexuality, abortion, transgenderism, pornography and prostitution also incest, beastiality and adult nude entertainment are not totally illegal in all 50 states. Voters in the various states vote on all these issues and if you disapprove of these things but the majority approves, even those senators and congressmen you voted for, then the devil has won and you have to live with it. If you understand that this world is evil and stay out of its political system and that the kingdom of light is yours then you know the Devil is going to lose. All the nations will be ruled by GODS kingdom and if you stop voting and be loyal to GODS kingdom then you will be given rulership in HIS kingdom. Did you know that there are over 30,000 federal laws on the books, do you know them all ? GOD has two laws, love GOD and love neighbor. As a Christian these two commandments are your constitution, your Declaration of Independence from this evil world controlled by Satan.
