Dennis Joseph<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It seems the God of the Old Testament is different from the God of the New Testament.\u00a0 The God of the OT instructed his people to destroy evil wherever it existed and his chosen servants were given free rein to massacre the enemies of Israel.\u00a0 He orchestrated the destruction of the city of Jericho and ordered Saul to slaughter all the Amalekites including the children.<\/p>\n

He released fire and brimstone on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah\u00a0 because he declared the inhabitants to be evil and was named the Lord of hosts directing the victories of the armies of Israel also aiding David in killing Goliath with a stone.\u00a0 The God of the OT was indeed a jealous one mercilessly permitting the oppression of \u00a0his own people by their enemies for extended periods of time if they offended him.<\/p>\n

The God of the NT instructs differently.\u00a0 He preached repentance and says to love your enemies, do good to them who persecute you and if someone strikes you once then let him strike you seven times. \u00a0He further instructs that if a person offends you then forgive seven times seven if necessary and that you confound evil by acts of goodness rather than violent force.<\/p>\n

However he used force when he saw the need to make a point stick. This gentle Jesus meek and mild picked\u00a0 up a heavy stick and smashed tables and shopping trays of the merchants who were killing the holiness of the House of Prayer.\u00a0 If he were running for elections the righteous would say,\u00a0 \u201cDo not vote for this violent rascal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet the God of the OT achieved his purpose of establishing his chosen people, Israel, as a nation and a formidable voice in the affairs of the world.\u00a0 The God of the NT we are told died suffering the torture of death by crucifixion shedding his blood for the remission of the sins of the world. Two thousand years after Jesus the Christ was crucified there is more sin, corruption and more killings than ever before.\u00a0 Nations have moved from swords and gunpowder explosions to killer automatic weapons, nuclear bombs that can flatten out cities 100 times the size of Sodom and Gomorrah and chemical weapons that can wipe out whole populations leaving the infrastructure intact.<\/p>\n

The God of the OT is called Jehovah and the one of the NT is named Jesus the Christ, but while only a few call on the name of Jehovah , most call on the mercies of Jesus the Christ and have made him their official God.\u00a0 Since the Bible demands that there shall be only one God then the leaders of the church were ordered by Roman Emperor Constantine to solve this problem.\u00a0 A ton of Roman Catholic \u00a0bishops therefore gathered at \u00a0the council of Nicaea in old Turkey and after thirty days of wrangling finally brought out the Nicene Creed and decided that the Jehovah of the OT and the Jesus of the NT are one and the same fused \u00a0into a Holy Trinity \u00a0by the Holy Spirit. \u00a0When the least of us asked how could this be we were cautioned that it is a mystery beyond human understanding.<\/p>\n

Under the standard of what we term the man-God Jesus the Christ we now have Christians.\u00a0 The duty and obligation of Christians is to follow in the footsteps of the Christ and to love their neighbor as ourselves so then how could do they deal with our politics of hate and verbal savagery?\u00a0 It may be that it is because if we ask Christians whether they believe in the New Testament every hand will go up but if we ask if they follow the teachings of that book very few hands will honestly be raised.<\/p>\n

Jesus brought a message about government.\u00a0 He announced his own government to be a world ruling one that would replace the government of men.\u00a0 He explained of the New Jerusalem that would descend to earth and its manifesto would be,\u201dNo more sorrow, no more pain,\u201d and so I wonder why do Christians hurry to vote for the government of men?<\/p>\n

We \u00a0live in a democracy which is supposed to mean government by the\u00a0 will of the people which to me is a bit of a joke if the will of the people only ends up planting rulers\u00a0 who will then impose their own will.\u00a0 If Jesus in the spirit of \u2018render to Caesar the things of Caesar\u2019 should be moved to vote would he vote for corrupt men and women or would he stand before their temple and announce that it will soon be destroyed?<\/p>\n

Would he be part of an electoral process that is free and fair with equal rights and justice or would he say with a dismissive tone that it does not matter\u00a0 because, \u201c is so it is let it remain so.\u201d\u00a0 Would he sit quietly in the shadows observing all the vilifying, spewing of hate, constant division,\u00a0 instability, promises of better\u00a0 resulting in worse and the destruction of the very fabric of what he preached?\u00a0 If\u00a0 Christians \u00a0say no to all these foregoing questions then why is it that Christians accept and even encourage that kind of negative behavior everyday and especially at election time, then vote on Election Day for the very offenders of \u00a0Christian principles?\u00a0 To maintain the teachings of Christ it seems best that Christians should not vote for the government of men and should stay clear of corrupted voter\u2019s lists and vote buying in a marketplace where votes are traded like any other cheap Chinese commodity sold in a basement Chinese store.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless there would be few voters at the polls if all Christians should stay home on Election Day. Our democracy requests that we the people place in a government by majority vote and all eligible should participate in the electoral process.\u00a0 Since the government as in some countries can restrict the worship rights of the people then it is right for the Christians to place on the record their desire to see that the worship of Christ proceed unhindered by the power of men.<\/p>\n

They then should vote but therein lies the rub according to the bard.\u00a0 Voting lays right at their holy feet an obligation to do the right thing and not just anything.\u00a0 Christians love to chant that whatever they do is done calling on the name of Jesus and so I wonder how many go to the polls \u00a0thinking of what he would do in their place? \u00a0I dare say not one or just to be diplomatic a few at best.\u00a0 Christians will tell you that it is God who chooses the winners of elections and if so it means those who voted for the losers voted against the will of God.\u00a0 I believe that God\u2019s will is expressed in the results of free and just elections.<\/p>\n

If he is a just God then any election that is unfair and unjust cannot be favourable to him just as the winners of such processes .\u00a0 If we pray for a loftier nation and our prayers seem to go unanswered it could be because we pray for one thing and lose our way\u00a0 thinking\u00a0 and acting another.<\/p>\n

In recent times a local politician made very aggressive remarks wishing death on some people who he thought were deliberately crippling the vital electoral reform movement and the Christian population went up against him calling for his exit from politics, \u00a0yet that same Christian population heard the PM say to us in abusive rants \u00a0\u201cGo to Hell is none of your damn business\u201d and that no law not even the Constitution can stop him from\u00a0 doing what he wants and went to the polls in 2009 and gave him a bigger mandate 18-3 in the House to do whatever he wants. We saw this in the matter of the sudden move to change our Constitution and our court procedures just these past few days.<\/p>\n

However our liberties are violated when any group places roadblocks in the way of just elections.\u00a0 When our efforts to be a virtuous people are placed on the execution block by those few who wish to subvert our rights to free and fair elections and if they force themselves upon us so that they can continue to personally prosper then in the name of Christ Christians must stand and condemn this in the fiercest of ways.<\/p>\n

If Christians should vote they must adhere to the principles of the Christian faith prominent of which is truth.\u00a0 At the end of the Election Day truth should prevail and that can only be a result obtained under the banner of fairness and justice which should be the core of the electoral process.\u00a0 Therefore any move toward frustrating \u00a0free and fair elections is un-Christian and if this is allowed to be the way forward \u00a0without \u00a0the Christian people standing in the breach then a\u00a0 Christian people have given up on the reason why they follow Jesus and the moral right to vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It seems the God of the Old Testament is different from the God of the New Testament.\u00a0 The God of the OT instructed his people to destroy evil wherever it existed and his chosen servants were given free rein to…","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-120459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nJUST DENNIS: Should Christians Vote?
