Check Romans 13:1
Romans 13:1 "Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For
there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are
appointed by God."

Where can I find this in my bible?
I'm not of the opinion that a good christian should keep out of politics.
But my opinion is that this whole discussion is a private affair. Churches
should not be partisan in any election campaign. Not my church in a german
campaign, not your church or Mr. Robertson or anybody else who has influence
on people because of his position in any church.
Vote for the candidate you like best, but keep this discussion out of
RangerNet it doesn't help Rangers in any way especially the "Non-Americans"
among us.
