Are You A Baptist?

[Reynolds]

The form of government makes no difference. If Christians in the New Testament, most of whom lived in part of the mighty Roman empire, were to pray for their leaders, and not make efforts to dominate and control them/their government, why should it be different for people who elect their governments? If, as you say, your government is "we the people," why should some of "we the people," i.e. those who are Christians, seek to dominate and control it?

It will be dominated by either Christians or non Christians. I choose the Christian option.

Does it not include those for whom the public vote? Are you saying that in a democracy, Christians should seek to overthrow the elected Government, and dominate it themselves?

We are not a Democracy.
I am saying that Christians should seek to hold every elected seat possible. I do not see that as overthrowing anything. I see it as using the system.
