Can a Christian vote? Yes.
Should a Christian vote? That's for the individual Christian to decide.

I'm in the process of 'wasting my time'. I am compiling a list of scripture that PLAINLY offers our PLACE in the world.
I don't BELIEVE that it will alter YOUR or any others UNDERSTANDING because it is NOT 'my understanding' but that offered from ABOVE.
But, my purpose is TO TEACH so I will give you what you SAY that you desire and SEE if it has any bearing on YOUR understanding.

Allow me to take a stab at the response. God's prophet is being humble. He is merely restating God's truths. And anyone who disagrees are the arrogant ones. They do not understand God's truths because they're blind and/or lack faith in God.Nick_29 said:You claim to be God's prophet. You claim to know and obey the word of God.
So what do you make of humility?

So if you have voted for the other guy, it means you voted against God's choice.

I disagree with this and agree with Mark's take for the most part. At the end of the day, none of us knows beyond the shadow of a doubt what God's will is when it comes to governments, elections and other global issues. We have to do the best we can to decide who we will vote for as citizens of the world and of God.
I think every citizen of the world that has legitimate and free elections in their nation has a responsibility to vote. Voting is your voice and it should be heard.
Then YOU TOO have offered a LACK of faith in God above. You openly ADMIT that you do NOT know what is BEST yet would encourage those LIKE YOURSELF to vote to change things. Hmmmmm.......
Let me see if I have this right, "I really don't KNOW if what I am voting for is what IS God's will, but I'm going to DO IT ANYWAY because that's what I WANT TO DO.

Mark62 said:You have mentioned verses that back up your viewpoint of not voting. I can't seem to find any that could be extended to such a decision. Care to share?
Mark62 said:Imagican said:Mark,
I could sit here an waste my time offering you tons of scripture that tells us to 'separate' ourselves FROM the world. But obviously what you perceive this to mean and what I offer are TWO separate understandings.
No. I just asked for what I thought was a simple request. You take the moral high-ground as if you are sole arbiter on interpretation of the Bible. When I ask for which verses you are using to justify your opinion that voting is somehow unbiblical, you decline to provide.
I am not asking for you to quote the verses, just a brief list of some of them. I'm sure for a person with your depth of Bible knowledge, such a request should be but a trifle. That will give me an opportunity to read them and see if, in my humble opinion, you are taking them out of context.
I can only assume that if they are not provided, no such verses actually exist.
Mark62 said:Oh, still waiting for those verses.
Imagican said:Mark,
I have compiled about three pages of scripture. I don't BELIEVE that it will be read by two people, (probably not even you). So I'm going to decline to post it.
