So, I've been asked to write a paper (or handout of sorts) and i could use some help from my frens, as it affects all of us.
Long story short, some people very close to me are getting involved in state politics and have some very strong allies backing them (current governor, former governor, etc.
However, they are very discouraged at the tradition of christians not getting involved in politics, and for their state they see a critical voter group being Christians.
This isnt a bash-fest request on Christian politics. Many churches and denominations had good reason at the time to insulate the congregation and themselves from politics. Others saw it simply as the tax break.
Most never saw it as isolating Christians from politics (our church supports political participation, said so just this Sunday). However, due to the creeping evil, it has Become for many, an excuse just to not get involved, and to propagate the don't talk about religion or politics crap that permeates society today.
I'm wondering if anyone has constructive, productive arguments to getting more christians involved in politics. I'm not looking for arguments to get pastorsat the pulpit going on about the deep state.. Just getting them out involved in their community, and voting (baby steps).
So many just don't want to even vote because of the corruption. Scriptural references are a bonus.
What i have now:
Micah 6:8
Mark 12:17
2 Samuel 23:3-4
Romans 13:1-7
Proverbs 28:28, 29:2
I believe christians have a responsibility in this war, and it's not to just ignore it and have faith in God. We are called to actively participate in the world that he created for us.
The idea of a "Christian" is a separation mechanism. We The People are one singular group. Until this is fully appreciated by We The People we will continue to be stuck in The Matrix.
All of We The People believe different things. No one person has exactly the same beliefs about Reality AKA The Truth as anyone else. Some groups have "shared beliefs" but even within those beliefs that are "shared", there are numerous differences of nuance.
I don't even know what a "Christian" is, do you? Is it someone who believes that the Bible (the one that was pushed for 1700 years, not the one that existed before that) is Absolute unequivocal Truth? Is it someone who finds wisdom in the Teachings of Jesus? Is it someone who believes Jesus is God? What if someone believes Jesus is God, because we are all God (the Divine Spark)?
What if a persons path to the Truth is not by Jesus? The Bible insists that the only path to God is through Jesus, yet the number of problems with that statement is uncountable, including within the teachings of Jesus himself, though I do not want to have that particular theological discussion at this time, because it's not the point.
I will only say this with regard to that statement. The Truth Is what It Is and It Is all around us. I suggest listening to what it has to say will help you appreciate what It Is. We don't need anyone to interpret it for us, that is the opposite of Critical Thinking and the main control mechanism of The Matrix. We just need to learn how to listen.
Learning how to listen is a fundamental lesson of the GA. So is learning there is no such thing as a Christian. There is We The People. Everything else is a division of The Matrix to keep us at odds with each other.
So if you want to "engage Christians" in politics, entice them to appreciate that it's not about the individual path to The Truth, but the willingness to engage in honest debate to find it, no matter what it might be.
That is a concept that sells to all, no matter how "shared" or "diverse" their beliefs might be.
We are absolutely not one singular group, we are many groups with often directly opposed goals, values, and beliefs. Large numbers of those groups may have common enemies and can co-exist peacefully, but some of those groups are existential threats to some of the things other groups hold most dear.
This is the belief that keeps you, and everyone else, stuck in The Matrix. Until you see the fraud in this belief, you will remain there.
Why is it possible the cabal and we the people can be separate groups, but similar sort of divisions cannot exist within we the people? Some of we the people want to murder the unborn, how can those of us to recognize it is murder co-exist with child murderers? Isn't that one of the things we accuse the cabal of doing?
I didn't say it was "impossible," I said it was a fraud. The belief is a fraud. It has nothing to do with Reality. I am not saying "division can't possibly happen," I am saying the divisions as they exist... ALL the divisions that exist today are contrived. They were all created to keep us divided. Every Single One.
These people believe that it is right to do so. Their beliefs have been created purposefully to drive division. What most people don't truly get, is that both sides of every debate have the same controller. The pro-life and pro-choice people are both controlled by the same group. The Muslim Religion, the Christian Religion and the Jewish Religion (as well as all the other world's religions) were all created (as they exist today) by the same people.
The reason all these different groups exist is by the ministrations and continued manipulations of The Cabal.
There will almost certainly be those that will retain their separations after the GA (probably 4-6% of the population). They will be unwilling or unable to see the True Source of their contrived beliefs. For the other 94-96%, we will learn how to discuss truth, how to Think Critically, how to bring arguments and investigate. We will learn, as one group, how to let go of our beliefs that we need to fight over the truth, and instead engage in earnest debate to find it together. The Gestalt of Many Minds.
This appreciation of each other, and the manipulations that have kept us apart, is a fundamental function of the GA. This is what is coming.
