Politics: Rights and Lefts
Any drastic attempts to influence the government and citizens along with Christianity would force unbelievers and believers to be more divided than ever. Spreading the Gospel will be lost because Christianity rules rather than preaches. I don't think that is what Jesus would want. In our culture today that everything must be tolerated since there is no absolute truth. Painful and uncomfortable as it is, we Christians must stand up for Jesus Christ. Christians who tolerates things that are opposed to the will of God, and if the matter is pointed out to its leaders, they will defend its unscriptural practices just to maintain peace. Peace is often ignored for the sake of political correctionness. Politics and ideology have come in the form of the separation in our minds of "sacred vs. secular". The Bible calls upon the rulers to create "a just society". I am the type of person who steers away from Christians' views are so far right (extremists) that they are blinded and not seeing the bigger picture as I am with Christians who are in the far left (liberalism) who are also blinded and not seeing the bigger picture. Many of the views are so narrow and very dividing. What do you think would bridge the gap between the rights and the lefts? What would be the solutions between believers and unbelievers? I am reminded that even Jesus submitted to Roman's government without over-throwing it. Remember Jesus' main mission is to spread the Gospel, not running the governments.
