Interesting article and discussion. I personally am not a “separatist” in sorting politics from religion, placing them in pragmatic boxes, and stepping outside of faith and the word of God to isolate these two competing forces. If we think about it, the prophets of the Old Testament, and New Testament believers were drawn reluctantly into the politics of their time. Others may separate their faith from political realities, but a believer should filter his or her political positions through the word of God. We should do this without apology or cultural constraints. If one is pro-life, and a Christian, one cannot vote for a political party or candidate who advocates the killing of the unborn, regardless whether all of your neighbors, friends, relatives and most of the country supports abortion. That is one issue. It is a moral issue parading as a political liability for those seeking a government office. Immoral practices like transgender policies affecting children, homosexual behavior, etc, are areas where society may hold one in disdain for being a Biblical Christian. So what? Prior generations of Christians were persecuted for their political, moral, and religious beliefs. Today there is still persecution. Are we any different? The two kingdom idea must not be muddied, so that one can separate themselves from accountability before God. It is not “just politics,” but it is where faith and worldly pragmatism are blended. No clever euphemisms or slogans can justify a political decision which is contrary to the word of God. Soli Deo Gloria
