Bible Question
Simple question up top, more detail below. If I should be asking elsewhere please let me know.
Is there a biblical basis for refusing to vote?
A guy I know made this claim. He didn’t clarify and I didn’t ask (honestly I try not to talk to him), but it got me wondering where he might be coming from. The only thing that came to mind is that it’s a “system of the world” and therefore should be avoided. But if we’re supposed to “render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s” then it’s ok to participate in taxation? I haven’t been involved with organized Christianity in 20+ years, so a lot of this has gotten fuzzy for me.
Also this guy has a driver’s license and passport [eyeroll] but again it’s not about him.
