[QUOTE="gengwall, post: 38687446, member: 140286"] Boyd's point is not to prevent people from engaging in the political process, it is that they should not attempt to "marry" their political participation with their citizenship in the Kingdom of God. Basically, we are "in this world", so we should contribute to society and we are required to follow our leaders and the laws, but we are "not of this world", so we shouldn't mistake such societal or cultural participation with any Godly mission or calling. What we are called to do as citizens in the Kingdom of God, through the example of Jesus, is radically different and incompatible with any agenda or function within [I]any[/I] kingdom of the world.
