29. When participating in political elections, the Christian should support and vote only for such men as are publicly committed to scriptural principles of civil government. Should the Christian seek civil office by political election, he must openly inform those whose support he seeks of his adherence to Christian principles of civil government.
[1 Chron. 16:31; 2 Cor. 6:14-18; 2 Chron. 19:6-7; Dan. 2:48; Eph. 4:25.]
Voting for a person who has indicated they, if elected, intend to violate God's law and their oath of office is to participate in their sin. It is like giving a gun to one who says he intends to commit murder. We become an accomplice.
It is no sin for a Christian not to vote for the lesser of evils. It is a sin not to stand for the Lordship of Christ over the nations.
