Political Christiananity is in panic thinking "Oh MY" the world is falling apart. Political Christiananity denies God is in control of human government. God will end sinful practices on his time table not ours.

Ask yourself this question, can you name just one U.S. president that God did not appoint? You can't and you dare not try. Political Christiananity is playing a dangerous role in trying to challenge God's appointments.

Christians while not of the world are still in the world. As individual citizens of this country they have a right to influence their own government. Passing laws will not save souls because being a good moral person is not salvation, that only comes through the redemptive blood of Christ. HOWEVER, your comments here have repeatedly suggested that because a citizen happens to be a Christian that they should refuse to have an opinion or take any action in either the workings of government or voting on its body of law. (Which would result in the laws of this country being written without the input by those of Judeo-Christian values)

Just because I have heavenly citizenship does not rob me of my American one . Laws are passed to govern human conduct. Our society has decided that in its best interest it is necessary to govern both certain individual conduct and even conduct between consenting adults ranging from incest to conspiracy to commit tax evasion.

It is remarkable that the ones who protest against a Christian exercising their rights as American citizens have either an overt or hidden agenda to either legalize or decriminalize a behavior that the majority of the citizenry of this republic oppose. As Christians we cannot and should not elevate political movements above our primary mission. But to suggest a Christian should have no say in the civil governance of their country?
