  1. I think that Christians can be good politicians, yes. They can incorporate the Bible into some of their speeches. I think that God will lead them to make good decisions.

  2. I think they can, but most politicians lie all the time and a christian shouldn’t do that. but I do think if that is Gods purpose for someone they will do well at it. Also Trump is a christian and he is a great leader.

      1. I love that you girls are having this debate in 7th grade! Go braid someone’s hair and don’t worry about Trump. LOL

  3. I think Christians would be good politicians, but I know nothing about politics because I don’t really care. They would (hopefully) ask God to help them lead and direct whatever they were supposed to do.

  4. I think Christians can be good politicians. God will tell them the right thing to do, and being an important person in a country could help bring there religion to the people who listen to him.

  5. I think that there is nothing wrong with Christians becoming politicians–much less any sort of job. I mean, God can lead them to be good people and make good decisions. They can use the Bible on a daily basis to encourage and excite people in the form of a political speech.

  6. In some way Christians can make good politicians, and in some ways no. Christians would partially be biased against what the Bible says is immoral. Christians would be able to speak the truth, as found in the Bible, rather than speaking the lies the world wants to hear. It is a good a thing that they speak the truth, so hopefully less people would be mislead. It would not be easy to be both a strong Christian and a politician.
