The Homosexuals and Atheists are Doing It Why Shouldn't Christians

I hope, that immediately you see a problem with that question. I took the following quote from a news article on Yahoo;

Reverend Franklin Graham, son of world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham, urged Christians “to get involved in government” and “in politics,” noting that “gays and lesbians are in politics” and “all the anti-God people are” as well.

Is this really what Christianity has come to? Where we take our cues from what those of the world are doing? Is it destined to be common practice that we who are not of this world will follow the lead of those who are? Is it not incumbent upon us as ambassadors of CHRIST to follow HIS lead in all matters of Christian life?

Is there a place where JESUS showed us that the weapons of this world, the courts and government, are the weapons of our warfare? Is there a place where JESUS gave us a command to go into the world and conquer it for CHRIST? Is there any verse or prose in the Bible that would lead any of HIS people to believe that this is a course of action ordained by GOD for HIS people????????????

I think not. I think there are verses that tell us that GOD establishes governments and courts. GOD appoints leaders and authorities. GOD gives victories and defeats. GOD who raises up nations and tears nations down. It is GOD who is, was, and always will be the first and the last, the Alpha and Omega, the word that spoke everything into existence and will be the word that brings it to an end.

There is only one group of people whom GOD chastises. The ones HE loves. HIS children. If a government and a court system has arisen that chastises HIS people, then it is on the shoulders of HIS people to seek to understand why HE has done this, so that they might turn from their wicked ways and bring the blessing of GOD back to the nation.

This does not come from rising up against the government GOD has established. It does not come from human effort in the human courts. It comes from an act of GOD to change the course of the nations that will only happen when HIS people humble themselves and seek his face and turn from their wicked ways.

Franklin Graham, along with many other leaders of the church, seems to think that human effort (battling against the flesh and blood humans who embody the spiritual sickness of the nation) with the weapons of the world that Satan uses much better (courts and government) will alter the course of the nation. In truth, no amount of law or government can change a thing. All the theistic law passing that could be done will not stem the tide of evil running rampant in our streets. Only an act of GOD, only a change in the spiritual condition of the people, only the regeneration of human souls that comes from the salvation that is in JESUS the CHRIST can change the course of this once great nation. That will only happen when Christian stop taking their lead from godless people and start taking their lead from the Bible.

I am disgusted with the Grahams and Dobsons and Robertsons of the world. Those who advocate government and courts to fight evil. Evil will be defeated by the word of GOD and doing what JESUS said to do, the way HE said to do it. In a nation that is spiritually healthy, there is no need for laws. In a nation that is spiritually sick, laws have no effect.
