Religion and politics Name ENG 122 Professor June 23‚ 2013 Religion and politics should not be mixed. In John 18:36‚ Jesus said "My kingdom is no part of this world." Jesus Christ himself remained neutral in regards to political aspects. This can be seen in John 6:15‚ "Therefore Jesus‚ knowing they were about to come and seize him to make him king‚ withdrew again into the mountain all alone.” Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows
