Was King Jesus Political?

The question of Jesus being involved in politics is constantly addressed. 

Many answers are provided for us to consider, but the best source remains the Bible. 

The fact is that Jesus confessed that he had a Kingdom, though it did not originate in this world. He even made sure Pilate understood that his Roman authority came from above.

Ultimately, this did not threaten the jurisdiction of Rome for whom Pilate acted. Rome was a physical power that presided over a physical jurisdiction. The jurisdictions of the gods, Roman or otherwise, was not an issue before Pilate to consider. Political threats were another issue entirely.

Rome had previously proven its efficiency in dealing with political revolutionaries. Threats were simply eliminated. Yet Pilate did not view Jesus as a political threat. His finding of "I find no fault in him" to the Jewish authorities was enlightening and, at the same time, maddening to the Jewish Leadership. 

The real problem among professing Christians lies in the lack of understanding about the Heavenly Kingdom of God and it's separation from, yet vital connection to earthly Kingdoms. Until that is figured out, political confusion will reign, especially among American citizens of the Kingdom of God.

God & Liberty - The Bible Speaks about Government

Government might be considered by many to be one of those "necessary evils" that we must all put up  with in life. 

In the Bible, Romans 13 is very clear. As Believers in God and His Son, Jesus, we are instructed how to view these governments and act toward them. 

1.  The Governments in place have been ordained by God.

2.  Don't oppose the government. This means don't place yourself in their position or act as if you possess the power of government.

3.  Don't resist the government. This means don't physically resist Goverment and their officials in their implementation of laws and policies that are legitimately within their jurisdiction.

4.  To oppose or resist government is to oppose of resist God Himself.

5.  Opposing or resisting Government, i.e. God is to invite judgment upon yourself.

The problem with most American Christians is that they constantly find something that government needs to change. So, they act to implement the necessary change.

Can you name a time in American history when the people weren't busy being against some government law or policy?

Do you find it interesting that Government consistently acts in ways that invite others, especially God's Children, to act in ways that violate Scripture?

God , Parents and the State - To Whom do the Children Belong?

As parents, we have a duty to know the Truth, then act in obedience for the benefit of the children God has placed into our care.

Ken Ham & Bill Nye Creation Debate - Science and the Bible

In case you haven't heard, Bill Nye The Science Guy has agreed to debate Answers in Genesis Founder Ken Ham at the Creation Museum in Kentucky on February 4th.

Interestingly, atheists are starting to downplay the credentials of Bill Nye as well as encouraging him to not follow through with the debate.

The agreed-upon topic for the 7 PM debate is “Is creation a viable model of origins in today’s modern scientific era?”

This verbal clashing of world views, evolution and special creation, is already proving to attract a lot of media attention. 

God, Christ and the Law - No longer Condemned!

Being under the law means to be under the curse of the law. Christ didn't redeem us from the law; He redeemed us from the Law's curse. There's a big difference!
