This is the lie: Christians are not to be involved in civil matters (government matters or
to speak out)
Who
benefits from the lie, God or the devil?
Definition politics: pertaining to civil government, pertaining to the conduct of government,
Jesus Himself comes against King Herod (authority, government)
Luke 13:31-32
31 At that very hour some Pharisees came up and said to Him, Go away from here,
for Herod is determined to kill You.
32 And He said to them, Go and tell that fox [sly and crafty,
skulking and cowardly], Behold, I drive out demons and perform healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish
(complete) My course. Amp
Paul
deals with people using evil for personal gain!! (like politicians)
Acts
16:16 As we were on our way to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who was possessed by a spirit of divination
[claiming to foretell future events and to discover hidden knowledge], and she brought her owners much gain by her fortunetelling.
He
(Paul) was brought before the civil authorities!!
Acts
16:19 But when her owners discovered that their hope of profit was gone, they caught hold of Paul and Silas and dragged
them before the authorities in the forum (marketplace), [where trials are held]. amp
Paul
refuses to depart secretly (against authority-government)
Acts
16: 37 But Paul answered them, They have beaten us openly and publicly, without a trial and uncondemned, men who are Roman
citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now thrust us out secretly? No, indeed! Let them come here themselves
and conduct us out!
38 The police reported this message
to the magistrates, and they were frightened when they heard that the prisoners were Roman citizens; amp
39 So they came themselves and [striving to appease them by entreaty] apologized
to them. And they brought them out and asked them to leave the city. amp
Paul
defends his “right’s” as a Roman “born” citizen
Acts 22:25-28
25 But when they had stretched him out with the thongs (leather straps), Paul
asked the centurion who was standing by, Is it legal for you to flog a man who is a Roman citizen and uncondemned [without
a trial]?
26 When the centurion heard that, he went to the commandant and said to him,
What are you about to do? This man is a Roman citizen!
27 So the commandant came and said to [Paul], Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?
And he said, Yes [indeed]!
28 The commandant replied, I purchased this citizenship [as a capital investment]
for a big price. Paul said, But I was born [Roman]! Amp
