Who would Jesus vote for?

Question

Would Jesus vote in presidential elections? If so, what party would he vote for?

Answer 1

Obama

Answer 2

He wouldn't vote - remember he said to Pilate that his Kingdom wasn't earthly, and he also said that his followers should be separate from the world as he had been. When people came to make him King, he quietly withdrew to the mountains. He would never be drawn on politics, despite living in a highly political environment.
When he was being tempted by Satan, he was taken up a tall mountain and Satan asked him to do an act of worship to him and if so he would give him all the Kngdoms of the earth. If those Kingdoms weren't Satan's to give (see 1 John 5:19), then it wouldn't have been a temptation. So why would Jesus get involved in politics, when all the political systems are being run by Satan anyway.
However, it should be noted, that although Jesus wouldn't have voted (because of the above) he did keep the laws - he paid the taxes he was supposed to pay. God allows governments and kingdoms to exist because otherwise there would be anarchy and we must obey their laws (unless the conflict with his laws), but we don't actively support them as Jesus didn't.
People aren't going to solve the problems of this world, God is, so why vote for them anyway?

Answer 3

I think Jesus would be ashamed of most politicians, of BOTH parties..I dont really know who he would vote for, but he probably wouldnt buy into the conservative pseudo-christian propaganda of which has been used to justify racism, homophobia, and war...Jesus was a liberal. He didn't believe in violence, and he did believe in equality

Answer 4

Jesus is a conservative pro-lifer. Not liberal, not the party of anything goes (Dems). That being said, if Jesus was walking this earth, we wouldn't need elections. We'd be following Him, as we should be now.

May God Bless you.

Answer 5

Jesus was an orthodox Jew from the West Bank.

Just look at who orthodox Jews from the West Bank (those who are eligible) are voting for.

Answer 6

If we would have allow God to continue guiding our lives, we would have to worry about elections and voting for the lesser of two equals. He definently would not be democrat. Hello, abortion and gay marriage are platforms for democrats. How could He go against His own Word; He is the Word!!!

Answer 7

I don't know wwjd, but as for me I am a republician and there is no one to vote for. I might just stay home this time. Unless someone else gets in the race. I voted democrate last time just to get out of Iraq and that hasn't happened yet.

Answer 8

Hello,

I can not be certain, but I believe he might. Of course, since he is all knowing, he would vote for the party he knows will follow his will and plan.

But then, if it is in God's will, Jesus would not have to vote. Everything would fall into place by itself!!

I hope I answerd your question,

Answer 9

Jesus doesn't vote for presidents, he appoints them :)

"Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves."
Romans 13:1-2

Answer 10

if Jesus is all knowing...he wouldn't vote. He'd already know the winner so what would be the poing? lol

Answer 11

Jesus wouldn't vote.
When Jesus comes back he will be king.
That's why alot of people hate him.
But it won't do them any good, I have to tell you.
