    God gives wicked rulers to rebellious nations - And He gives us choice to do good

    God allows bad rulers for rebellious nations They cry out to Me, “My God, we of Israel know You!” Israel has rejected the good; The enemy will pursue him. They have set up kings, but not by Me; They have appointed princes, but I did not know it. With their silver and gold they have made idols...

    Who was your first vote when reaching the legal voting age? How has politics changed since then?

    Hello folks. The political landscape has changed a lot over the past few years. Who was your first presidential vote once you guys have turned the legal voting age (lowered from 21 to 18 in 1971)? Mine was Biden in 2020, back when I thought he would be a good choice to get us out of a pandemic...

    Should Christian Balance Christianity and Politics?

    We, as a nation, are experiencing political upheaval. The question is should we, as Christian, balance Christianity and politics? My honest opinion is that there is no balancing or weighing one against the other. In this instance, the scales should always be one-sided. Christianity is our...

    Despite Trump’s intense hunt for voter fraud, officials in key states have so far identified just a small number of possible cases I wonder if these people committing deliberate criminal acts will be given 5 years in prison?

    Do we vote, and for whom?

    We were told thousands of years ago where the world would end up - in the hands of the antichrist. Each successive world leader is but a stepping stone towards that end. Seeing as there is no way to vote ourselves off this path (since the path has been set according to the Word of God), does it...

    Christians in a Democratic Society Obligated to be Involved in Politics?

    At first, I thought to post this in a politics forum, but then it occurred to me that even though the word "politics" is in the title the post under that topic would probably be inappropriate due to the likelihood that this question is posed for those who would not be on a politically...

    Should the House of Representatives add more seats?

    I think discussions about the Electoral College are fruitful discussions, just as gerrymandering is critical for discussing topics related to representation. However, I think one issue that is often overlooked (and would actually affect the electoral college) is the number of representatives in...

    Futility of Elections and Voting

    As of last year (since the presidential election) I no longer vote; in fact I wrote to my local board of elections and had my name rescinded from their list of registered voters. I'm sure that such an action will incur judgement from some, or many, of you. Instead of attempting to explain why...
