Here's a Saturday #challenge for you, especially for my fellow #Christian believers.

Affirm or deny the following statement:

"There is no record in the book of Acts or in all the rest of the New Testament of anything remotely resembling political involvement by Christians in the secular state." - Duncan Cary Palmer

If denying, provide references, examples, and rationale.

Deny. Paul appealed to Caesar.

Thanks, Aron, but I think it would be quite a stretch to consider that participation in politics. What I'm contemplating here is things such as running for political office or seeking political power.

I appreciate your quick response because it will perhaps help me to reframe my assertion in better terms.🙏😃

I afirm the book of Acts... I have a niggling suspicion that elsewhere in the NT I could find something....

Go for it, and be sure to provide me with the feedback.🙏😀💜😆💯👍
