Did God Established Government ?

Why is it that Believers in Jesus Christ think it is not necessary to Vote in elections? This goes for church leaders also! They think God doesn't deal in political matters.



Reference a few scriptures;

Isaiah 9:6

Isaiah 22:21

I Corinthians 12:28

2 Peter 2:10

KJV



Please post scripture referring to Government in the Bible!



Thanks

Unfortunately, some so called "Christians" do not stand up for what is right! Like voting for Candidates who do not approve abortion or same sex marriages.



Chridtians are made up of several Religions these days!



Believers are followers of Jesus Christ, which is a relationship not a Religion.



Some haven't a clue it comes from the Heart of knowing who Jesus is and what he done for Us.

It has always seemed real simple to me----Matthew 22:21 Jesus said "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's."

John 19:

So Pilate said to him, “You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?” Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin.”



Romans 13:

1Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience. For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.
