Should Christians be involved in politics, boycotting, standing together in unity against immorality?

I think that christians have to standup for what they believe strongly. Otherwise they standby silently by while things like genocide are committed. It is the same with standing up for other beliefs. Christian have the same rights as other to standup and they should.

That is absolutely sad for you as a Christian.

I am a black man who puts his faith first rather than his color.

Its sad that you cling to the term "killing babies" in the face of losing this election in an overwhelming way. Sorry.. I brought my fear shield today. Your nonsense don't work with me.

I am a white man who votes for the best man (in my opinion). I couldn't care if the man was black, yellow, green, white or purple. But I'll be damned if I would have voted for him if he was pink. I hate the color pink.

Christian have always stoodup for their beliefs.Many think that they can compromise on bible teaching to make their life easier.IMO that is a false belief.The constition prevents the state from violating the right to religious belief . Christian have always known that others will pursecute them for this but that has gone on thru out history.

Examples to consider in providing an answer.

1) Our school system is doing everything it can to take God and His influence from our children and educational system.

2) It seems it is a crime to talk to people about Christ in public places.

3) Promoting use of condems instead of abstinance.

4) Taking Ten commandments and religious displays out of public view.

5) etc.

There are many Christians that unify against these efforts and many that don't. Do you support these efforts? Do you oppose them? Do you support them but do nothing about it? If you are doing something about it, please provide your example of how you have made a difference!

As a devout Christian, I am compelled to answer.

1) Are you referring to prayers in public schools? I'm sorry, but there are a good number of Christians who point to Matthew 6 as proof that Christ was against public prayer, even in the synagogue.

2) A complete and total bunch of nonsense.

3) Well, I'm not big fan of it either. But which is the worse evil? Pre-marital sex or AIDS or unwanted pregnancy?

4) Which version of the Ten Commandments? The Protestant and Catholic versions are markedly different in wording and in substance, one espoused by Origen, and the other espoused by St. Augustine. To hang one from the wall of the courthouse is to promote one branch of Christianity over another.

No, you misinterpret.

It is true. I have had friends threatened by police.

You gotta be kidding right?!

They are pretty much the same-lying, stealing etc.... There is only one Christianity.
