Re: Oh WAKE UP people!!

I see nothing in the words of Christ that ban Christians from working for their government or holding elected office. Furthermore, Jesus "not resisting" is not a mandate for us not to resist the evils of men at times IMO. He did not resist because he had a world to die for. I do not think that was a mandate for believers never to resist if, for example, their home is being broken into or their wife is being raped before their very eyes. Paul resisted at times by escaping authorities who were pursuing him.
