   *"God's Elected children  will not take political office"  Can you   
   *prove that?   
      
   I did so by quoting the relevant Scripture in my previous posts.   
      
   "Endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth   
   *entangleth himself with the affairs* of this life*; that he may please him   
   who hath chosen him to be a soldier.   
   2 Tim 2:3-4 (KJV)   
      
   Thus 'Affairs of state' are also out.
