Re: Perry and Palin tied to Dominion Movement
I'm with Peter here. I think it is fine for us Christians to enter into politics and advocate certain view points, especially view points that we think will help us to live properly as Christians and to help our children live the same way. I encourage you all to vote. This is our duty as citizens. However, to bring God's name into all this, we need to be careful. Because once you bring politics into the church and start forming Christian groups to advocate certain policies, you may get into the usurpation of God's name (ie. I am called by God to do this). I'm not saying you can't form groups to demonstrate and fight for your rights, just don't do it in the name of God. Otherwise, it can get ugly. Look at so many groups who have caused harm (including the history of the crusaders). And it was all done in the name of God. According to the bible, the church (our gathering together) is for fellowship and worship, not for politics.
