Bible Truth and Prophecy: The Christian and politics

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation="none"]

Summary

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The Bible shows that human governments are established by God, and that whilst they will not always do what is right, as followers of Christ we must obey them unless they tell us to disobey God. The speaker discusses the relationship between Christianity and politics, focusing on whether Christians should vote, protest against governments, or fight for their country. Using biblical examples like Daniel, they argue that Christians should trust God's sovereignty over worldly rulers and not resist established authorities. The talk emphasises obedience to rulers as ultimately obeying God, and advises against involvement in political activism. It also highlights the distinction between the earthly kingdoms and the eternal kingdom of God, urging Christians to focus on living according to biblical principles rather than trying to change political systems.
