There seems to be more interest in Politics than Theology. What kind of Politics did they have in the Bible?

The corruption of the temple by the Pharisees?

The corruption of the Law by those who tried to trap Christ?

 

[Jefferson]

It's important to make sure you're not so heavenly minded that you're no earthly good.

Terrible. The good politics we have today, didn't show up in history until 1776. And it even took our founders a second try before they got it right. The Constitution wasn't written until 1787 and wasn't fully ratified (iow the United States regime didn't fully materialize yet) until 1791 I think. If I'm right, 2021 is the 230th anniversary of this federal regime, which ended slavery, successfully fought a civil war, and two world wars, and protects human rights such as the right to the freedom of religion.

For comparison, the 230th anniversary of the Church would be the year AD 266, well before Constantine's Nicaean Council in 325.

Seems to just be a trend?

Probably because Christianity/religion has become much more politicized.

I think so too, seems to be 'which wave' and season we happen to be talking about
