Here's the real problem as I see it. Jesus said we were IN this world but not OF this world. He also said that if His kingdom WERE of this world "...then would my disciples fight". He also made a clear distinction between earthly governments and the Celestial one by saying that we were to "render unto Caesar what belongs to him but render unto God what belongs to Him". Furthermore, the books of Revelation, Daniel, the four Gospels, I&II Thessalonians and many others tell us this world is not going to get better but worse and eventually will end in fire...so why on earth are we so given to meddling with the stuff of earth? Let the heathens have this world and all its folly. Our citizenship is in Heaven! What are we trying to do; "help" God by voting for the "right" candidates so He can then rule and reign?!
Did God stop being sovereign when Bill Clinton sat on the throne? Was he more sovereign because GW Bush was a Republican? Why are we trying to vote in a candidate based on the issues of abortion and gay "marriage" when the Bible teaches that it's a renewed mind and not passed legislation that God is looking for. Let's witness to these folks and then get them saved. That's the one sure way to stop abortions and homosexuality in the good ol' USA and it's the one thing the church is conspicuously lacking in...TRUE WITNESS.
My personal feeling is that we vote folks into office so they can take the weight off of our shoulders in terms of fulfilling the Great Commission.
Bush had 8 years to issue an Executive Order to stop any and all abortions in the US but he didn't. Sure Congress would've overturned it but WHAT A WITNESS THAT WOULD'VE BEEN!
Let the state be the state and the Church the Church.
We were born here but our citizenship is in Heaven.
