Look here, do you see that politics are works of the flesh? I do.
Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders,drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
Once again, it occurs to me that contentions and dissensions can, and have occurred in the body of Christ without the involvement of "politics".
Also, scripture makes a case for God-ordained government (Romans 13). It just so happens that our government has a representative form, which mandates some involvement with politics as a civic duty, which Romans 13 enjoins us to fulfill.
Again, I think what you are saying is that we shouldn't let our political leanings divide is in the body of Christ.
With this I agree ...
