God and the Ten comandments

What I thought would be a quick post is takeing longer then expected I am still working on it though. In the mean time their is this post to read.

For thouse of you who know me, you know I am heaverly intersted in politics. So that coment is nothing new, any way I am doing this course with ran by FOCUS in hobart on the bible and politics. We are made in the image of God and have been given some Authorty to rule over all creation the question is as Christians what does this rule over look like and do we still have this Authority these are a few questions I hope to deal with and write about within the next few weeks.

The first sesion in this course has confermed some thing I have long thought, God's Law and the Ten Comandments, can not be inforced on its citizems by any goverment this is for verious reasens every attempt through the old testerment has failed. The book of romans sugest that the only time we can live under the such a rule is in the kingdom that christ will bring. Various verses in Romans suport this idea.

Going on to my own thouyghts know

In the broader context christians are called to go forward and carry the good news, does this fit into the role a christian politions has to if it is not to enforce the law and do christians have role in politics at all?

Some how I believe yes as we called to stand up for the weak and vonerable, we are called to be the light and salt to relfect gods glory and politics is one of the stages this can be done on.
