Wagglebee, I know this is your thread, not mine. And I mean it when I say I don't want to derail the subject. I hope you will permit the post I just made for two reasons.

First, as the original topic title said, “Christians have abandoned politics. And millions are DYING because of it.”

Rusty is dealing with people in his own church who are advocating aberrant views and saying it is somehow un-Reformed or sub-Christian to be involved in politics. That teaching truly **IS** dangerous and needs to be refuted.

Second, I believe it is possible to refute that false teaching without getting into the broader Calvinist-Arminian conflict. These people in Rusty's church call themselves Calvinists but they apparently are advocating things which have no foundation whatsoever in the Reformed faith.

To get into a Calvinist-Arminian conflict would be derailing this thread. I hope nobody will do that.

But I do think it is both appropriate and important to make clear that people who call themselves Calvinists and want Christians to exit from politics can claim no support from historic Calvinism.

Your patience with my post will be appreciated. And I agree that if this subject gets into details of theology, a new thread needs to be started on the religion forums. I'm up to my arms in alligators and I simply do not have the time such a discussion would require and which it would deserve.
