Can a Christian be neutral in face of state atrocities such as Mugabe is committing?

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Christians will never be neutral to social and political problems that confront our nation. Its ignorance and a lie from the devil that we don’t have a part to play in resisting tyranny. Christianity is all about love: to God and man. Therefore we need to show this love by removing Mugabe (from State office), who is murdering, and torturing innocent people.
ZANU PF government of Robert Mugabe, is not authority in Romans 13, but a beast in Revelation 16. Therefore Christians we must work hard to remove Mugabe. Don’t listen to lies that we should only pray. Prayer is the foundation for action. We pray and take action. Mugabe and his criminal ZANU PF government must go.

Mugabe is not conducting his reign of terror by God’s moral will. Its blaspheme to suggest this; which God can want or encourage people to steal and murder? We must not call everything God’s will.
To think that Christians we have no part to play in bringing better leaders into office is deception. Dictatorship is satanic refusing to resist it, is resisting God. The Church in Zimbabwe has been destroyed by satan – Mugabe’s dictatorship.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because they have rejected knowledge…” Hosea 4:6

Below was a call from a courageous Zimbabwean Bishop. Read it and take action.

A PASTOR’S CALL TO ALL CHURCHE LEADERS

Fellow office bearers in Christ ‘s Church, we stand together at one of the most critical times in our nation’s history and a vast majority of Zimbabweans are looking to us for moral guidance. If we, however, refuse to give direction by failing to call wickedness by its name now, then we will not be able to call anything wicked in the future. The issue facing us is not “party politics”, since the universal principles of truth and justice have been written on the heart of every person. Morality is inseparable from the religious beliefs we profess, thus to ignore the immorality that has been thrust into our faces, is to deny our religion and faith. What do we become if we, who are meant to be the standard bearers of truth and justice, refuse to clearly distinguish between morality and immorality with respect to the known activities of any presidential candidate?

If we as Church leaders in these perilous times, are unwilling to call immorality what it is, then we will have no basis for justifying the existence of our office afterwards. For us to suggest (by our silence ) that it is a moral option for our congregation members to vote for a candidate whose policies and achievements include genocide, the dismantling of our judiciary system, the pervasion of justice, the raping of our economy, the disintegration of the rule of law and the use of thugs, terror and lies, means that we will have no basis for ever calling any person in history of this world, immorality. We act as though we have no responsibility to exhort our congregations about the obvious and blatant immorality of a particular presidential candidate, we will be condoning the immorality of that candidate whom we are afraid to expose our silence will say evil is acceptable. As ministers, we cannot act as immorality is irrelevant in this issue, without making our own calling and religion irrelevant. To attempt to be neutral in the presence of blatant immorality and oppression, is not a sign of Godliness, but of pervasion. Godliness never has and never can attempt to be neutral or remain silence in the face of wickedness. If we cast aside morality in this context, then how can we insist upon it in any area of our existence ever again?

Therefore, l implore you all, by grace and mercy of God, to exalt God’s standard of truth and justice and speak out for the oppressed, for the widows, for the orphans and the helpless- in other words to uplift Christ’s name. If we, as leaders in Christ’s Church, refuse to speak now, then history will rightly regard us as nothing but hirelings (John 10:12,13). if we fail in our responsibilities at this decisive time, we will have no ministry worth preserving. Moreover, when the leaders of Christ ‘s Church value their lives more than righteousness, be assured, evil will triumph. Fellow office bearers, the cross-roads are before us and the nation awaits our counsel, but to make an unclear sound on the trumpet in the heat of the battle, is to fail.

Yours fellow servant in Christ’s eternal Kingdom
