It really does inspire “Catholic Christians” to vote in only one direction as if that should fix everything....but what is Vigano missing in his recommendations to his Catholic membership?
Who is identified in the Bible as the ruler of this world? Not just the ruler of America, which your population is notorious for ignoring the rest of the world in its estimation of what constitutes correct rulership.....whist other nations are getting sick and tired of the two party system that pretends to be democratic, America is still of the opinion that their leaders are anything but corrupt puppets of the real ruler of this world. It never matter who is in power...the devil will have his way.
And before you sound off about too much information
@Wrangler, this is a debate forum where you have no right to stifle legitimate debate simply because you disagree with those who have a different view.
Christian are told by Jesus Christ himself that we are to be “NO PART OF THE WORLD”......why? Because of who is ruling the whole show whilst pretending that one side is better than the other to those who fall for this delusion. If history has taught us anything, it is that human rulership, no matter the label is an abysmal failure. The devil is in control of all of them.....(1 John 5:19)....and he revealed this fact when he tempted Jesus....over which Jesus would have rebuked him if it wasn’t true....
“So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time. 6 Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” (Luke 4:5-7)
How long have God’s worshippers been under the rulership of unbelievers Wrangler? The truth is they lost control of their land and their governance when they disobeyed their God and he allowed the Babylonians to conquer the Jews and take over their homeland, and take them prisoner, hundreds of years before Christ was even born. That is how long we have been ruled by unbelievers.
Did Jesus recommend any way to make the rulership of the Romans any better for the Jews who were chafing under their rulership? Were the Christians told to take any action at all to improve their lot under Roman rule? NO!!! But why not?
Because the “Gentile times” had to run their course and the prophesies in Daniel had to come to pass.....the March of world powers who held dominion over God’s people had not run its course. They are to conclude with the powers who rule the world now, in this “time of the end”.
So ignorance of the Bible’s explanations about what to do and what not to do, is evident in all who think that voting in human governments is somehow a duty.....far from it....it is a duty to remain neutral and allow “the world” to do as God permits. He is in control of all that the devil does in proving himself to be the better god and ruler of mankind......how much more pathetic does it have to get?
At present, satan is staring down the barrel of “time’s up”....and he is desperate now because he knows where he is going, and will take as many down with him as he can deceive. (Rev 12:7-12)
If you vote in any political power, you share responsibility for what they do with the power you gave them.
Every innocent life taken by the actions that you sanctioned, will be accounted to you.
What the world does is none of our business. They will account to God for what they do......will you be included in his accounting?
Think about that.
