actually, he said “i’m no part of the world, and my followersare no part of the world”, meaning he AND christians would beneutral as far as that type of thing goes…no armed forces, no voting, etc.
And the rush to have him join a political party means both sides don’t get who he is; a real person, his opinions based on his love of the Father, not on what any of us want him to be.
And yet, living in a democratic republic, as Christians we have a responsibility to vote as Christian citizens—but as CHRISTIAN citizens. To support and pray for the government, and help to make it better.
Actually, He was a Jewish Carpenter who’s country was under Roman Rule and since he was not a Roman citizen He wouldn’t have had a vote at all. “Render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar’s and unto God what is God’s”
A: not the same god: B: Atheism has been much more amiable to tyranny, eg China, USSR, VietNam. C: Paganism was almost always about the single strongman ruler D: Hinduism’s multigods endorsed a cruel system of social tiers with the untouchables at the bottom E: What happens is people get a hold on a system, any system and turn it to their selfish interests. Every religious system endorses this to some degree. Jesus never did. Jesus walked between the classes and overcame the biases and THAT was what the rulers of his day feared, the truth that they were misusing god’s word and resources. Jesus the person transcends all the lies you’ve clung to.

Openly making foolish accusations while someone was merely insulted because they saw their savior being degraded.
