We keep complaining of bad leaders. At the same time, we complain if a pastor involve in politics. I think clerics should be welcomed into top political positions because through them, God will be pleased to save our nation. WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON THIS MATTER? 1 Like 1 Share |

Pastors are the biggest scammer of all time. The only people should give chance are traditional worshippers like me. 1 Like |

Since it has become impossible to separate Politics and Politicians from Lies and Deceit, then I think it'll be extremely difficult for a genuine Pastor to cope or thrive in Politics. 2 Likes |

Why was Jesus not a politician contesting against the tops of his time? He was busy facing what he was sent to do. I wonder who the pastor's role model will be. Jesus or Satan. In John 6:15, Jesus ran away when they want to forcefully make him king. |

vikinatius:It will makes things worst, Jesus came to the earth at a time his nation was under the Roman control, his people thought that the messiah was to come and liberate them from the Roman oppression. However when Jesus came he did not do any of that. Instead he focus his life on helping them to return to God, and even when they wanted to make him king because of the powerful signs he used to performed, John 6:15 reports that he escaped. On the final night of his life he told pilate who asked him if he is the king of the Jews that his kingdom is not of this world. So if Jesus' kingdom is not of this world why should a so called pastor be aspiring for a political office in a kingdom not of his master? Any Religious leader seeking for a political office is not from God 1 Like |

vikinatius: A "called" pastor to pick another call? No. An administrative pastor can be a politician, though any Christian in politics is likely to get his hands soiled. It's the way it is. There are true Christians in government all over the world though. 1 Like |

vikinatius: There is nothing wrong but not all Pastors are honest. The scripture says that; Proverbs 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. Notice, it did not say, If the righteous are in authority but it said, when the righteous are in authority. We are the one who should be ruling. But we have left it to the wicked and this is why we are mourning. But it's not too late. |

AntiChristian:But has there ever been a time when any Muslim preached about Jesus' abstinence from politics before 1914? So if you a Muslim now quote Jesus' speech and applied it to abstinence from politics, then it's the same Jesus who returned in 1914 that you are preaching not the one misinformed religionists claiming Christians have been preaching yet struggling for political offices as CHRISTIANS (followers of Christ) 1 Like |

Who are the honest pastors? List them out and let us know. Then, explain on what criteria are they honest using the scriptures. Is it honesty to take the offerings and tithes collected from widows and orphans to purchase fleets of luxury private jets while the widows cannot feed? Ken4Christ: 1 Like

MaxInDHouse: Politics is the activities associated with the governance of a country or area, especially the debate between parties having power. Who has at least a tiny little (pardon my tautology) bit of this politics between Moses and Jesus? |
