Politics is a dirty game that involves licking some asses you wont lick normally.
And that is universal.
A true christian can be involved in politics but he is unlikely to win.

RussellRutherfo:


How do you expect someone from a cult to know true wisdom when his organization have told several lies and changed teachings.

achimendy:


Is because they dont have fear of God that's why they spread lies and bend teachings. So someone or group who has fear for God needs to go there and make it right.

If you dont understand me at this point then forget it.
I hope you're not one of those jehovah witness people ?

OP addressed TRUE CHRISTIANS so i'm talking from the perspective of a believer in what Jesus taught. But if you know better please let's here your viewpoint as you reflect Jesus' thought on the matter.
Thanks!

paulolee:
no because politics is a dirty game

olowo1930:
Capital No, don't be equally yoke with unbeliever, what is the relationship between light and darkness. Let God leads us. Just like church without holy ghost is dead such is Christian with politic

Newton2024:
Jesus did not teach us to demonize politics. If good people run away from politics, who will remain? The problem Nigeria is facing today is that good people misconstrued politics as evil.

Can A True Christian be Actively involved in Nigeria politics as it is today?

Engr2016:
1. Please ,what profession or occupation are you currently into? Is it only Christians that are in that profession?

2. If not, then by your current belief or argument, it means you too have been unequally yoked with the unbelievers in that profession/occupation/association. Mention one verse in the scriptures that forbid Christians from being rulers or leaders in a society. So governance should be left only to unbelievers while you obey all their commands?

3. If idol worshippers become a governor or president or senators and enact strange laws for the land that favour their evil ways or even ban Christianity , will you be happy with that?

If Christians refused to get involved in politics, there would have been slavery, zero human rights, and extreme injustice in the western world. Christianity changed western politics and the world as a whole for the better.

If you're a Tru christian... You can support the government. But getting involve in it will deter your relationship with God. And those who try to do same are like those priest listening to ashawo confessing their since . Their peniz will definitely get erected...

Kobojunkie:
Slavery and injustice existed in this world for hundreds of years because of Christians. So don't now pretend Christians weren't part of the problem to begin with..

Jesus Christ never called you to sit on any Throne in the world. He instead told you that though you are in this world , you are not of this world - Matthew 20 vs 20 - 28 :-\

1. I am not even sure you understand my point.

2. The Christain nations made this world a better place for us all. We are the salt of the earth, we make the world a better place.

3. Thanks to great Christian leaders, you are able to freely preach your religion and give your opinion.

4. If Christians did not influence politics, we wouldn't have the present privilege. No one is going to hell for involving in politics.

achimendy:

You're really getting it wrong o, so because jesus christ said my kingdom is not of this world means that believers should not participate in politics. You really need understand o.
Great servant of old like Joseph and Daniel, participated in politics, and even worked at the highest echelons of government. And because of them many things changed in Babylon and Egypt, and they also ruled for a very long time.
That's the benefit of having God-fearing people in government.
You said politics is dirty bla bla, who will then make it right for us animals, angels ,or believers??
Have you ever attended leadership programs in any church? I guess no. Try and attend one, then they will enlighten you on why believers needs to become leaders in all areas of life including politics.

Raph82:
And when they come up with muslim-muslim ticket, everyone will be shouting. No wahala now, let all the political posts be occupied by Muslims, everything, and let anybody come here to complain of religious marginalization.

I understand why you'll forget wallow in poverty now. I feel sorry for you.
