Thats true, we are not the same.
So youre saying that everyone that votes is not putting their trust in God?, i think youre getting a little confused here, voting for the lesser of 2 evils doesnt mean youre putting them above God, it just means given the choice then 1 is more in line with Gods Justice and compassion than the other, for example, 2 candidates, 1 says they will slash overseas aid and cut taxes for the wealthy, one says theyll increase Overseas aid and pay for it by taxing the rich, whos most in line with Christs message to feed the hungry, house the homeless, minister to the sick, help the poor and oppressed, or 2 candidates, 1 wants to increase military spending and cut domestic social programmes, the other wants to cut military spending and increase social programmes, whos most in line with Christs teachings of pacifism and help for those in need, or 2 candidates, 1 wants to implement a brutal anti immigration policy, the other offers a policy of increased immigration and increased help for migrants, whos most in line with Christs command to "Welcome the Stranger"?, its not a question of elevating one above God, just choosing the lesser evil but all the while understanding that both operate a corrupt and evil system that will only end when Christ returns. I also find it a bit odd that you liked Medico Bravos post, an overtly political post in favour of President Trump when you claim to disdain politics and those that vote.
You also talk a lot about maintaining "order", and that this is Gods will for the world, now ill contend that later, but if you want order then youre going to have to have rules, and if you want rules youre going to have to have legislators to pass those laws and a police system to enforce those laws, in short a Government. So youll need people in power and unless you support a dictatorship youll need a vote, so how does that comply with your disdain of the political system?.
and that is the important message, "do not conform to the world, " do not take on its values, although we ALL do, but we as Christians know thats wrong, we see the greed, selfishness, hate, Lust and envy, the evil that drives the world and while ALL of us are in it and tainted by it we strive not to conform to its values.
Agreed, although which of us "know" that we're from God, we can only act as Christ commanded and pray for Gods forgiveness, Grace and Mercy for our manifold sins.
You do accept that you are in this world dont you, that you are a wretched sinner in the sight of God and that you are in need of his Grace, Mercy and forgiveness for your many sins, because it sometimes seems that you see yourself as sort of hovering above us mere mortals dispensing Gods wisdom and Justice.
