In the 3779 verses of the four gospels, Christ shows zero interest in civic affairs. He offers no advice, no prescriptions, and no commentary on the civic arrangements of men with men, or the civic affairs of men.
Christ is SOLELY interested in the salvation of your soul.
No advice or proscriptions? Zero interest? Not even when reiterating the commandments or telling people to do what was commanded in Moses’ law? Not even when pointing out the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and Sadducees, who were supposed to be lawgivers and judges?
it’s funny you posted that. I was reading the Bible today which is rare and came to Matthew 5 20-42.
Boy, in this world where things are heating up and we need to protect ourselves from physical harm and govt tyranny, Christ sure makes it tough with the aforementioned scripture.
