Nice one bro..
My answer is yes because i have to show my stand.. i cannot put my light under a bed..
I am a good-natured Christian without a political allegiance. I believe in the power of faith, sacrifice in defense of the public good, and “staying the course".
As a Christian, I feel compelled to support those who demonstrate and promote Christian principles. Courage in the face of danger, integrity in the face of temptation, generosity to those less fortunate— our personal values are defined by an eternal moral axis of good versus evil. We characterize others by their adherence to or rejection of these values...
As a citizen, the most I can do is vote rationally and hope others do the same. The Christian in me cannot be bought by rhetoric nor will it be sold to hell for supporting a party that promotes corruption.. |

Ideally, the two can be perfect bed-fellos mmmm. in practice however, the reverse had been real almost like since creation. rigth now i'm going thru Romans 13:1-6 which talks about christains and submission to earthly authority. i'm also reminded of the sermon series we went thru at KPC about the 7 world Influences (Religion, Family, Econimcs, Politics, Education, Media and the Arts & Entertianment.
With politics, God desires that rulers practice the politics of Justice. in the Book of Proverbs, the wise teacher emphasises the need for justice and fairness from rulers. Then in Psalms and Revelation, Jesus is the sovereign ruler, whose kingdom is established throug justice and fairness, defending the poor while punishing the wicked.
Back in the real world we are in right now, the instutition has been meddled. so meddled that sadly, some christains who have gotten there have found themsleves compromising those values instead of defending them. yet it is our duty to execute justice as christian rulers. so until christians right the wrong, politicts will continue to be a dirty game and christains will forver run away from it.
Some quality examples: Moses, Jospeh in Egypt, King Dvaid (before the Bathsheba saga), Solomon, Jesus, Martin Luther etc... |

Hey Shaykins; 'these two' means who andwho? or should I ask "what and what?"
If you are talking about KB and M7, hmmm am not sure they can live together harmoniously. See, one of the things that bothered Herod about the birth of Christ was that 'the Child' was to be King! Herod had a big question "How can we be two kings inn one kingdom?"
May be [and this is my personal opinion] if we are to have these in Ug one will be in a place that makes them like the disabled who sit and talk in a wheelchair. You know where this could be? I'm not sure, but when I look at appealing the rape case/loosing on the petition/60 witnesses lined up on the treason charges/.... huh! it becomes quite close to impossible for the two boys to live together harmoniously! Huh!

now what happened to the topic?
i believe christianity and politics should be married if we are to prevent wrong values penetrating the land. I am so amazed at how we do not normally support christians in the political races. I mean we support them more in "prayer?" than fiancially. we live in a world that's corrupted and to get christians into leadership may need some finances and to help them stand in the positions requires encouragement and more support than we coulod imagine. i strongly feel many have joined politics with the right motives but fallen along the way due to insufficient support from the body of Christ.
what do u think? |

you're right on that sis. i've seen fellas born and bred in church, but as soon as they fall into things, they disappear from the christian circles. sometimes, i've been tempted to blame coz we started out so well, then along the way, they get new "freinds" and throw us out-forgetting we are the ones who got them there. you know this common saying of power/wealth being corrupt? i guess that's what spoils some of our christian leaders. most of the time, they are embarrased of where they came from. they want to keep up appearances with the new crew - corrupt moreover- and soon bad morals rubb onto our saved friends.woe unot us!!! 
i've also seen christians - oba they are jelaous or what??? these guys have terrible measures of negative attitude towards christians in leadership. instead of supporting them, they embark on major criticism schemes, working so hard to bring down the brother. woe to this brother if he fails, coz he will be judged instead of being helped. i guess that's why some christains solicit support from non-believers!
then there's category of believers who believe politics can never be a spiritual act of worship. they will want to seperate themsleves from anything involving politics, let alone leadership, mbu it's unholy. these guys would rather be led a haji, whom they will blame and cry on for all their troubles. then you ask, why didn't they vote when they had opportunity??? damn these fellas!!! |
