Yesterday president Trump held a rally and he said that large numbers of church goers and gun owners do not vote it is difficult to find a study that is dedicated to who does not vote...but I feel pretty confident when it comes to discussing the mindset of many church goers. And many church goers do not want to offend and be critical of other people. Of course many church goers listen to preachers and teachers that have little idea what the Bible actually teaches. But the truth is that a person needs to be discerning, and sometimes it is correct to have an opinion that not everybody likes. Sometimes its a badge of honor to have an opinion that not everyone agrees with. A school teacher once said "What is popular is not always right and what is right is not always popular." I think that some 'bible teachers' think that there jobs are to get everyone in a circle and sing "Kumbaya". That is not correct, sometimes you might be the only person that is standing up for what is right. As GODfearing folks we are called on to be the arbiter of the matter https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/arbiter
James 1:27 says "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained by the world."
The thing about keeping yourself unstained by the world is that the world wants you to go along with the program. Sometimes a person can get in trouble because they were just following the crowd.
In Matthew 10:34-36 this same theme is discussed "34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. "
We understand that sometimes it is required for a person to speak there mindset (because the world wants you to just be a non-opinionated crowd member, by the way sometimes non-opinionated crowd members are super guilty of realy bad things) But in Matthew 10 we find out that sometimes the guy that is sitting right next to you...he needs to be reminded that "you do not intend on going along to get along!"
Perhaps many so called 'bible teachers' teach a form of passivity because they do not understand Ephesians 4:26 which says "Be angry but do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your anger." Many so called bible teachers will say things like 'its better not to get upset and voice your opinion'. To which I will reply "what those people are recommending is not biblical." I wonder what part about the phrase "be angry" do they not understand. If someone comes up to me and wants me to believe a non truth...I might get mad! The correct translation should read 'be angry, but rage not' (so get angry but do not let the anger cause you to act in a questionable manner)
So to recap, if you are one of thoes people that have been told that the world could benifiet from non-oppinionated/voting people then allow me to address the situation. By not voting what you are doing is allowing potentially bad people to rule, and if the election is in America, by not voteing you are leavin a blank ballot and do you know who loves blank ballots. The democrats love to find blank ballots because they have no problem casting there opinion on your ballot.
New study sheds light on the 100 million Americans who don’t vote, their political views and what they think about 2020

You’re not defending yourself by calling all us names and making abusive comments.
Here’s how you could defend yourself.
You could do that easily enough by producing evidence for what you believe.
For as long as you’ve been on here you’ve never provided an even a shed of such evidence. Instead, all you do is attack the person/s asking for proof. That’s not defending yourself, that’s proving you have no convincing evidence on which to base your false claims

Thank you for responding to comments you claim you don’t read.
On again, your comments are not true. I do not “belittle other Christians”, I expose false teachers like yourself who believe and teach false doctrines on the internet like the following:
1. You falsely claim “all the spiritual gifts are for today”.
2. You falsy claim “people today can hear the audible voice of God”
3. You falsely claim “Christians can loose their salvation”
4. You posted an article under Science and Philosophy defending the heretical Gap Theory
5. You continue to misinterpret and abuse people who disagree with your false teachings
These are only some of the false teachings you hold
