The same is applies to you Quantrill and people like you. By your voting for your king you bear responsibility with your king for whatever he does. For his perpetual wars, for legalized abortions, for legalized gay marriages, for forbidden school prayers, for assignations, for imprisonment of political critics, whistle blowers, political opponents, for injustice in courts, and for all other godlessness and evil of your elected king during his kingship.
By abstain from voting I have no part in the wickedness and evil of politicians and whatever they do, so I do not bear responsibility with them for their actions. My conscience my soul are clean.

"You serve the world in paying your taxes, why? Because they will throw you in jail if you don't. Your choice in not voting doesn't cost you, so you decide to serve God in that area. I wouldn't trust you."
And I wouldn't trust you ether. I paying taxes because the Lord said:
Matthew 22.21
21. "Then render to Caesar the thing that are Caesar's, and to GOD the things that are GOD'S." (Mark 12.17) (Luke 20.25).
But for what reason you paying your taxes? You gave your allegiance to a mortal man and by doing it you forfeit you allegiance to GOD. You choose that is earthly and disregard that is Heavenly. If Christians are light to the world, then what light has to do with the darkness?
Believe me, I am not alone who do not vote. Many Christians and secular people alike do not vote, because they are smart and know that it would change nothing. But the second coming of Christ will change everything. On our part we shall show the world the way to GOD by our light, because we are light to the world in its darkness.
Thank you for kind words Wind and Fire. GOD bless you.

I do not miss anything. It seems to me it is you who are missing something. The problem is that the Satan is not divided in doing evil, and he and his servants exceeding in their evilness, and this is why Jesus mentioned Satan, because he is undivided and because of it very strong, which is cannot be said about Christians.
But it is the Jews who were divided in their opinion about Christ, and that division causes entire society to divide and crumble because they have no unity in that matter. Same thing happen with all kingdoms of the world who are divided for whatever reason, and US is not exception. If this country does not unite it will fall even deeper.

"Maybe you can clarify what you mean by “True Christian”?"
James 1.27
27.Religion that is pure and undefiled before GOD the Father is this, to care for orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the Word.
A True Christian is one who follows Commandments, Statutes, and Ordinances of GOD. Not a demagogue, hypocrite, or boastful. But keep his/her words and promises and does what had swear or said, who live according to the Statutes and Laws of GOD and instruct others in the same way.
In order for you to have full understanding of a True Christian, buy yourself a Bible where the Words of Christ highlighted in red, and read only His Statements. This helped me a lot to understand Christ much better and what is mean to be a True Christian. Also read following Books of Paul and others in which often described difference between true, false, and fallen believers.
But in general, the True Christian is one who tries very hard to live according the Word of GOD only, and not by any other word, not by word of the church, not by word of "pastors," or by someone else's word.
Concerning who saved and who doesn't, I will repeat again, it is not up to us to know or decide, but our main goal on this Earth is to follow our GOD only, and keep oneself unstained by the Word.

" Have you considered what you just wrote????? If not , you should!!!!!"
O ye, I considered it very well, but I can see that you are not considered what I wrote, so I will explain to you. When you vote for someone, you give your allegiance to that particular person. Allegiance means loyalty, faith, dedication, trust, devotion, and full commitment.
All these things of your vote are spiritual qualities that come from the heart, means from your soul. These are the qualities of your own soul which you can give to anyone you want. It is almost like you give oath or pledge or vow of full and complete loyalty and dedication to someone, for life.
But you have ONLY ONE vote of your allegiance to give away. If you vote multiple times for different people, your votes worth nothing. You cannot have many vote-allegiances, otherwise they all will be worthless. You have ONLY ONE, and to whom you give you vote-allegiance of your soul, it would stay with that person as long as you or he lives.
This means when you vote for a person, you dedicated yourself and your soul to that particular person for life. You cannot take your vote back, it is gone, just like oath you give. Actually your vote is you oath and your allegiance to a person whom you chose.
You cannot take your vote back or transfer it to another person, this will be considered treachery and betrayal on your part. When you give it away it stays away and will not returned back until the life of individual who have your vote of allegiance will end its course.
I explained to you as best as I could that you have ONLY ONE vote and this is your allegiance and your loyalty that comes from your soul. Means that when you vote you dedicated your soul for that particular person.
Giving you vote of allegiance to another, will void both your votes. This why Christ said, "You cannot serve two masters."
If you said that you believe in Christ and Baptized, this is you vote for GOD to be your King, it is your allegiance, your loyalty, you devotion, your faith, and you full commitment to GOD only.
When you vote for an earthly king, you void your vote and your allegiance to GOD. Literally it is betrayal. Because you also promised you loyalty and your allegiance to another person by voting for him to be your earthly King, forgetting that the Heavenly King also the King and of Earth, and here your betrayal became very evident.
If you vote for earthly king you are servant of the earthly king only, and you are no longer servant of GOD, because you forsake and forfeited your vote of allegiance to your GOD when promising Him to be His servant, when you decided to be believer and Baptized yourself, but gave your vote of allegiance to another.
Do you considered this? "If not , you should!!!!!"
