Abstain from elections!

It is, therefore, evident for all the reasons mentioned above that participation in the world's elections and in so-called "Christian" and "Orthodox" political parties, as well as political action in the name of Christ, is not in accordance with the Patristic and Gospel teachings, meaning it is not Orthodox at all. Christ Himself declared before Pilate that His Kingdom is not of this world. [John 18:36] He also said: "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s." [Matt. 22:21] That is, "Give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God." Finally, He said: "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you." [Mark 10:42-43] That is, "You know that those who appear to be rulers of the nations behave as if they were absolute masters over the people. And those who hold great positions among men abuse their power and oppress them as if they were their slaves. But such selfish tendencies and behavior must not be observed among you." So how can we, with arrogance, self-sufficiency, and audacity, desire, and demand, to make Christ part of this world through political parties and political action? How can we make the uncreated God a creation of this world? This is sacrilege and blasphemy!
