As believers, it is very important for us to be aware of the political environment especially in these last days. It is our duty as believers to be informed and to inform other believers about eschatological matters
The UN Charter outlines all of its goals clearly.
It focuses on "oneness" and "singularity" in every aspect.
In terms of politics, it seeks just ONE government. A WORLD government.
In terms of economics, it seeks just ONE currency. A WORLD currency.
In terms of philosophy, it seeks just ONE religion. A WORLD religion.
It's ok to be ok with climate awareness and it would be ok to conduct business matters in a single currency. Those are non-fundamental matters of faith. Your faith isn't compromised based upon whether you believe in global warming or whether you buy bread with Chinese yuan.
None of that presents a problem up until the point where in order to take part in that "oneness", you are forced to pledge your allegiance to it.
The world is quickly turning the tide in the spectrum of politics. Nations that are cognizant-and most are-of the UN Charter are aligning themselves with the agenda in ways that would allow them greater, easier access to the global union and all of its "benefits". The force is so strong, that nothing will be able to stand against it especially at top-level since all governments serve the same purpose.
Thus a rebellion can only occur on an individual basis. Aligning yourself with a political perspective, as a Christian, presents quite the dilemma. It is as follows:
1- If you align yourself with the left, you are setting yourself up to accept world citizenship which in time will lead you to take the Pledge.
2- If you align yourself with the right, you are setting yourself up to lose because the world government will be socialist in nature and you will not be able to buy or sell unless you take the Pledge.
The Christian is therefore left with just one viable option:
3- Align yourself with God.
Having opinions about political/social issues is not the same as having political affiliations but the more affiliations you have, political or not, the more compromised your faith becomes.
The article further mentions discord between Christians who have chosen to affiliate themselves along the political spectrum. On one hand, the left, you have the believer who says he believes yet possesses liberal views on social issues. On the other hand, the right, you have the believer who says it's not possible to have faith without being conservative. On one hand, you have a leftist walking in the Spirit on the other you have a rightist who has yet to be sanctified. And then, lastly, you have the conservative who says the following...
"If you call yourself a Christian and still lean left, there are two possibilities"
1-You dont really follow the teaching of the faith;
Which in my opinion, unless due to ignorance, would deem the person a non-believer or at least a believer that isn't yet walking in the Spirit.
2-or you follow them but dont fully understand what the left is about.
Which in my opinion, sounds quite plausible. After all, it could be argued that Christ was a collectivist. He just didnt think government should be the one to mandate such an approach.
I would care to add a 3rd possibility:
3-He doesnt necessarily see a connection between political/social opinions and faith. This happens a lot with younger generations of Christians.
This is why I think Christians should abstain from politics. The last scenario is a perfect example where politics may have led to division within the Church.
Tying faith with politics does more damage to the former since it is independent of secularism.
