Richard D:
What’s a Christians responsibility concerning voting?  Do we have scriptures that say yeah or nay?   :-\

Hello Richard,

Here are scriptures for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear:

1 John 2
 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

1 John 4
 4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

 5They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

 6We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.


Hope this helps,

Marques

Regardless of who is the next leader, it is God's will.  And since that happens through voting only, I would have to say that God will cause voters to vote a certain way or not at all, and the end result will be part of the plan.  Therefore, God will cause you to do whatever it is he wants from you.

I think He's gonna cause me to vote.

Douglas Wayne Thomas:
Richard - one can find scripture that seems to support both sides of the argument, or question. An internet search provided me with scriptures against voting and for voting. My best answer is MU, which means unask the question. Mu does not mean yes, no, or maybe (depending on the circumstances). Mu means the question probably should not be asked at this time. This thread has the potential to cause a lot of dissension amongst the members of the forum.
