Is it a good idea for Christians to get involved in politics, because if they are involved in it, they tend to lie, make promises they can't fulfill and sometimes get their hands dirty which is sin.

And ministers of the Gospel, are they suppose to endorse any candidate to their congregants. What's your take?

If Christians do not involved in politics then who will come and change the Society? Do you understand the concept or meaning of Politics? Now I believe you yourself is a Christian. Will be involved in Politics so you can do what others have not done to change the Society? Even in the Bible there is Politics. In the book of first Samuel and second Samuel, when the Israelites asked Samuel to tell God to give them King. And Samuel asked God and God told Samuel to select Saul as the king in Israel. Who was the first Government appointment by man in Israel. And the people were happy because they believed that Saul would do what they ( the Israelites) need in the Society. Therefore, Christians participating in Politics is the best way to develop the countries. Now we are suffering because the leaders are not born again.

Of course, you are absolutely right, assuming our leaders are born again, the high rate if suffering won't be this much.

People are also suffering because of selfishness, most people who are in politics are using politics for power, greedy and also to use it to oppress others and also using it as God will like accepting bribe, lie, bear false witness etc.

So participating in politics as christian is not really bad but doing it in to help the less privilege, that is what that matters and not to use it to increase their suffering.
