Here are a few emails from Ray on Politics:
http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,1808.0.htmlHello Ray,
I really enjoy your articles, especially those on the subject of Hell. I have two questions:
1. Should "True Christians be involved in Politics and vote ?
2. When "Searching the deepthings of God", is using one's analytical skills and logic a stumbling block, or a god-given help ?
Thanks for your time.
Willie
Dear Willie:
No, a true follower of Jesus cannot be involved in politics. Jesus certainly did not take part in any such worldly activities.
As the Scriptures can hold up to analysis and logic, there is nothing wrong in using analysis and logic in studying and/or teaching the Scriptures.
God be with you,
Ray
http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,35.0.htmlHallo, Mr.Ray SMITH:
I email you before about trying to get a law to stop the church requirement of the sin of tithing by petitioning for it to the State Rep. My next move for the no-tithing law is already in the hands of this state's representative again. I had written to the Rep. that tithe money is a steal and therefore the churches are laundering stolen income in the regular income of the church. You see it is not unconstitutional to regulate businesses away from laundering income from other sources. I hope that you as a man of God who cares for the real church of christ as shown by your tithe-paper will be intersted in trying to demostrate to the State Rep in your community that the church is not a business venture but a non-for-profit organization with offerings and sales income.
Thank you for being concern.
Best Regards,
Cesar
Dear Cesar:
I am an "Ambassador for Christ" (I Cor 5:20). Ambassadors cannot legally take part in the politics of foreign nations. Jesus never, ever got involved in the operations of the Roman Government over the Jews. We are never taught to "march on Washington," etc. But we are told to COME OUT OF THE WORLD and be separate. "Let the DEAD bury the dead."
God be with you,
Ray
