on Should Christians be politically neutral? in christianity

There's several schools of thought this reminds me of.  
  
The first is that a Christian should actively stand against evil, some 501c3 pastors take that to mean praying quietly in the broom closet and leaving it all there, because they misread a verse about sovereignty and think that means they don't have to do a thing. I take it to mean being involved and stopping it from occurring as I can.  
  
The next is that the bible makes it abundantly clear that the only valid **human** authority is Husband over wife, and Father/Mother over children. All other things fall under Love God above all and others as yourself, ie; 'Don't hurt others, and if you do pay restitution'. So I don't consider any government or 'authority' legitimate, they're not God, God has not explicitly ordained them. I'm being forced to interact with them against my will, and so will take advantage of any lever I can pull to influence things the way I think it should go according to the understanding the Lord has given me.  
  
The last is that a key mission of the body of christ is to Reclaim as much of creation as possible. You see this from the stories about saints going against pagan gods and winning (the holy spirit moved in and restricted the other powers, thus why there's lesser activity today, there's more of the spirit in the world in us) or like taking over holidays like Christmas, it was paganish to begin with, but most have reclaimed it for Christ's birth  
  
Those tell me that REAL church elders should be influencing their community on all things social &amp; political, drive it from the local all the way up. This includes telling people how to vote as well as standing against false authority (ie; sort of like the Bundy stuff the last few years). However, that means they need to be earning the right to speak into people's lives by living and working with them, not just doing some crappy pop music and a bad ted talk on sunday.

on Online vs Physical Church in christianity

I created an account just for this post.  
  
The problem lies in what people think "church" is. It isn't the place you go to with other people every sunday. That is not it, at best its a 'worship service', otherwise its a poorly performed pop show with a badly written &amp; sourced ted talk.  
  
The church are the people you do daily life with, close friends, family, close neighbors. Some "churches" have life groups, but all that is is sermon review and pastor worship, you don't actually do life with the 'life group'.  
  
Have you ever walked into "church" been asked how you're doing, say you're doing horrible and see how fast they walk away from you? That's most churches.  
  
Have people over to your house regularly, eat together, work together, pay bills together, start businesses together. THAT is the church, that is what the apostles did. They didn't have a dedicated building or "pastors", they earned the right to speak in lives by living and working alongside people they were trying to reach.  
  
Do that.
