Interested in Christian Politics? Sneak Preview At My Next Website!

Hello Everybody,

Forgive the blatant advertisement here... but, I guess seeing how I own the ChristianBlog.Com I can get away with this


For the last week or so I have been working on a new website that is devoted to Christians who are interested in blogging about politics. Over the last three years it has become clear to me that the www.ChristianBlog.Com is just not a good place for generalized blogging about politics from a Christian point of view. I think some of this is because we have been pretty tight about what is allowed and not allowed, but I also think it is because people realize that perhaps ChristianBlog.Com is just not the right place to "talk politics" - even from a Christian perspective.

So, I decided to give it a shot and see if we can make a success new website that is 100% totally devoted to Christians blogging about politics!


Does that sound fun and interesting?

If so head over to:

http://www.GodBeforeCaesar.Com/


At this point the website (seems) to be working 100% without any bugs... but I make no promises... It always take a little bit of effort to get a new website going and there are always a few bugs and hiccups along the way.

Here is what I have wrote up for the "About Page" of the new website:


Many people believe that the Holy Bible holds, within Matthew 22:15-22 and Luke 20:19-26, one of the only (if not the only) clear instance of the Lord Messiah Jesus Christ, the Son of God, presenting a political message - and to a bunch of double-tongued politicians at that.

We here at www.GodBeforeCaesar.Com believe that this passage of Scripture can and does mean a number of different things, including:

(1) that there is a clear separation between church and state, (God & Caeser)

(2) that there is an authoritative structure for Christians (Government exists and we need to do our part, but so does God and we need to do our part for Him too),

(3) that there are those within the Government seeking to annihilate the existence of God all together.

Our purpose is to be a blogging website with a clear and in-your-face message that no matter when in history you live, the government is always going to try to oust God - but we know that God cannot be ousted by mere politicians or the world Governments, and that now, more than ever before, the world needs Christians willing to stand up and say they are willing to put God before Caesar!

If you are a Blood-Bought-Being-Sanctified-Child-Of-God we invite you to join us here at www.GodBeforeCaesar.Com and let others know that you are putting your foot down - that you are tired of the government trying to come before God - or worse yet - remove God all together! GodBeforeCaesar.Com is a website where you, as a Christian, can have your say about whatever it is that is on your mind that has to do with politics and God.

Does this mean we do not believe in Government... that we are some kind of quack-job website that is "anti-government"? By no means! We stand firm that a government does exist, that a government needs to exists! We believe in Church and State! After all, Christ Jesus Himself said "Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's" so there is clearly a Biblical foundation for a Government/State.

What this also means is that we, as Bible believing Christians, believe that God must come before government. That God is the highest standard of law and authority, not the government. It means we believe that the government should not act as god, nor try to dismiss or dilute God, nor try to supersede the Biblical foundations put forth by God. That is at the heart of this blogging website - that we Christians have a God who is higher than our government and sometimes what is needed is for good Christians to stand up and say, "God before Caesar"!

Keep it civil. Keep it clean. Keep it focused on politics from a Christian perspective - with Christ at the center of all things!



So, I know there are a number of you out there who are really into politics... I hope that http://www.GodBeforeCaesar.Com/ can be a website that you can get some use out of - and I hope it doesn't get too crazy

Blessings,
John B. Abela

I have made a note of the link, thank you.
But I wondered, why is this not an appropriate place to discuss politics?

I'm a new member so forgive me if I don't understand fully the workings of the site yet,
but I have been really impressed with some of the categories for blogs and the blogging here.

I see there are categories for things such as the Election, the Dark Side, Eschatology etc., and I've
seen blogging about spiritual warfare so edifying that I've never seen before. Plus the lovely
uplifting blogs.

To be quite honest I think this is probably the best site for blogging and discussion that I've ever
seen. I'm really impressed.

Why not just create a new category?

Blessings,
Patty.

Well, evidently i can't reach the site from this computer, but i can take a look at the "ABOUT PAGE";

"...Jesus ... presenting a political message - and to a bunch of double-tongued politicians at that."
`````are we not all fed up with politicians, and looking forward to a site where we can unleash some words to test if they have any conscience left?

"We here at www.GodBeforeCaesar.Com believe..."
`````we have no God but Jesus! (sorry, i wanted to try out this phrase of early martyrs )

`````Here is a sample of our belief.
"(1) that there is a clear separation... "
`````Yes, but we need once again to be so respected by the state that they write into law what the saints collectively decide.
"(2) that there is an authoritative structure..."
`````Yes, that the Church, Government, and Home work together for the highest good of all.
"(3)...seeking to annihilate the existence of God all together."
````infestation of rats?. Rebels, who have Satan as a father? Secular humanists, who dare defy the revelation of God? (sorry, it sounded better when Jesus said it )

"...no matter when in history you live, the government is always going to try to oust God"
`````Me thinks that in Roman history there were periods where this didn't happen?

"...the world needs Christians willing to stand up and say they are willing to put God before Caesar!
`````Here, here; we have no God but Jesus! "Should we obey God or man?"

"... have your say about whatever it is that is on your mind that has to do with politics and God."
`````Thanks. Finally.


`````Here are some of our ideals.
"...government does exist, ... government needs to exists!
"We believe in Church and State!"
"Give (render) unto Caesar what is Caesar's"
"...God must come before government."
"That God is the highest standard of law and authority..."
"...government should not act as god, nor try to dismiss or dilute God...
"...nor try to supersede the Biblical foundations put forth by God."
"...God is higher than our government..."
"...stand up and say, "God before Caesar"!

`````We plan to:
Keep it civil.
Keep it clean.
Keep it focused.

John,I was reading the newest post on "GodBeforeCaesar.com titled "Moving closer to outright Christian persecution" and I realized I had read it before. Sure enough, it was on ChristianBlog.com Unless the two authors are the same person it was probably done inadvertently, with no malice aforethought. But nevertheless, I thought I should bring it to your attention.Fred


Hello,

Doesn't matter to me.

Neither of these websites have policies prohibiting content being published at numerous websites, unless it is a violation of Copyright laws, and for that there is the DMCA.

Thanks,
John

Hey, lets stop this right now. I posted on both sites. I changed some wording around on the Caesar post. So, lest there be any confusion, there was no plagiarism involved since I wrote both posts. OK? OK!

No problem I just didn't want anyone to get confused.
