Politics is about law not grace. Are we to be enforcers of law? This is antithetical to the mission and person of Christ.
Politics is based on violence....force...or the threat of these. Politics divide a country. The surest way to unite a country on the political level is to have total war with another country...this then reveals the Diabolos.....the evil division that constitutes the power behind politics.
Politics is about worldly power....which is the opposite of the kingdom of God. It is about taking power, exercising that power, and maintaining that power. If money is a force of evil...politics is more so.
No field is free of corruption.
I worked National Intelligence during Nam and was elected twice. What is the basis for your claims?
Romans 13:1-7
Submission to Governing Authorities
1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended.
Matthew 8:5-10
5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help.
6 “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.”
7 Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?”
8 The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.
