Jesus helps believers understand politics. In Mt. 13:24-30, “Jesus proposed a parable to the crowds. ‘The Kingdom of Heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep, his enemy came and planted weeds all through the wheat, and then went off.”
In real democracies, candidates who are “good seeds” are planted with secret ballots. Voters decide who will best help us and our families, and vote accordingly with secret ballots.
How do “weeds” get “planted” in nations that only pretend to be Democracies?
Many “weeds are planted” when voters are not allowed to use secret ballots to choose Party Nominees. Stopping secret ballots in County, State, and National meetings lets a few people decide who will be nominated. Those who profit by “planting weeds” force their Party to nominate those who will benefit them.
The “weeds” planted by these “enemies” overwhelm “family fields” to satisfy the insatiable desires of those who control such groups. Loving themselves more than God and their neighbors drives many to keep secret ballots out of the nomination process.
What are the eternal effects? After The Bible, “Dante’s Inferno” is the most widely read book of the past thousand years. It teaches an important lesson: “The souls of those who participate in complex frauds suffer forever in the lowest six circles of hell”.
Few “frauds” on earth are as “complex” as: “We say that we believe in Democracy, but we will not let voters use secret ballots to choose candidates.”
