SEGLIZ:

I totally disagree with you.

Kobojunkie:
The answer to that is No. Regardless of what you read of in the Old Testament, in the New Covenant, Jesus Christ declared it a sin for any follower of His to occupy a position of power/ leadership over the others, in much the same way as is obtained in the World we live in.

So, you will not find a born again Christian occupying position of leadership or authority over people( other followers of Jesus Christ included) because it is against God to do so.

Baba1234:
And he was ten times better than his peers...how can u be ten times better if you are not in the hem of affairs to make it happen. When a christian is called to service, why not? We are christians, we raise the standard in everything. It is even better if a "genuine christian" rule because he rules with the fear of God... You cannot tell me also that there are no genuine christian in the military force.. they are everywhere in every sphere of life...And when they rule, u see d difference..

Kobojunkie:
Oh, I see you are chuck full of the deceit that is false teachers and prophets there. In the Kingdom of God, those who are extraordinary are instead those who serves as slaves to the rest.
Jesus Christ told you this in the same context, but since you skipped the first memo, why not skip them all, right?

See, Jesus Christ even tells you that to be first, you have to be a slave/servant to everyone else, just like He was.

God never intended for humans to rule humans {Jeremiah 10:23} because it will never yield any positive result due to nepotism {Ecclesiastes 4:1, 8:9} that's why Samuel agitated when Israelites (God's own people) demanded for a human King {1Samuel 8:5-6} there God made a notable statement that for the Israelites to have demanded for a king it simply means they have REJECTED God's system of rulership so God told them what will eventually become of the kings that will rule them! 1Samuel 8:11-18

So politics has nothing to do with God even his own people that demanded for human rulers regretted it heavily. When Jesus walked the earth he made us understand why it's wrong for God's people to participate in politics, Satan has been ruling through the majority that has always been on his side {Luke 4:6-8} that's why Jesus refused to participate in the political affairs of his first century contemporaries {John 6:15} he made it clear that Satan is the overall ruler of the world! John 14:30 compare to 2Corinthians 4:4

God's servants participated in the political affairs of other nations like Babylon and Persia but they were slaves in those land who have no choice. When Christ established Christianity none of his followers attempted politics because Jesus instilled in them that they are not part of this worldly government {John 17:16} so their own government is not of this source! John 18:36

So whenever or wherever you see anybody in Politics know that they're serving under Satan the Devil {Matthew 4:8-9} that's why they practice all sorts of evil things both publicly and in secret so Jesus is coming to exterminate them all! Daniel 2:44

May you have PEACE!

let us see the deference between ruling and leadership ..

God chose moses to lead the isrealite out of Egypt..
He acted in accordance to God's direction all through the journey ( leadership ) until a point where he was instructed to speak to the rock but he struck it instead ( rulership) he got over his head and acted like his action was what determines result ... from that moment the mantle of leadership turned to Joshua.. God never created man to rule over man , he expected us to live in accordance to his instructions ( the Holy spirit ) the government is a man made structure which is good for order, but will always be flawed because man can not rule man ,, in such a flawed structure it may be a waste of time for a christian ( or exposure to corruption) to be involved in politics..

Christ established what ?����,Christianity !���

EvilPOTATO:
If you leave the wicked and unjust to rule over you just because you feel you are a genuine Christian, then you are in trouble

philanthropic:
In the Bible, we saw God's people who were in the government. We have countries whose political system is not as complex as that of Nigeria. Now, can a Genuine Christian be a politician in Nigeria? with this corruption is it possible, and how?

helicoptarr:

The profound truth! Thank you!
Democracy started with Saul's assumption as the King of Israel.
Democracy in the context of its popular definition:
Government of the people; by the people; and for the people.
It clearly eliminates God from the from equation as if humans can escape His supreme jurisdiction.

prove your point with scriptures as he did ... he is entirely correct.. as Christians what are we waiting for ( thy kingdom come , thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven) ... the isrealite waited for the heavenly rule because just has God warned them , man can not rule man, king jesus came to connect us to the creator so many of use can qualify to be with him in the ultimate kingdom.. where there will no longer be wiping , death , sorrow , pain , sickness , inequality , selfishness etc .. as a Christian we should be politically neutral..
