I believe Christianity has encompassed the entire world. That being said, why do Christians constantly pursue Christianizing government policies?
Gospel tells us that this world is doomed to suffer a great and terrible judgment, Revelation tells us to let the Holy remain Holy and the evil doers to die in their sins.
I am not saying that we should zip our lips of the saving Gospel but when it comes to insisting we shove those who reject Christ into a sort of Christian utopian worldview I find it 100% ineffective and detrimental toward our composure.
I believe we often tend to get so heavenly involved with the laws and elements of national politics that we expose ourselves to it's adverse influence, which is the illusion that it's somehow possible for the entire Christian body to agree on any particular world matter.
I may have a major dislike for the current administration and the way the world is going, even in anger, but other than venting with those in agreement and casting a vote there really isn't anything I can do to change the outcome, I can only accept it for what it is and move on.
Your thoughts?
