The Church of the Great God is apolitical, which means it does not become involved in the political process. It does not endorse candidates or parties, and it does not lobby government on political issues. Neutrality does not mean silence, however. The church often comments on politics from a biblical point of view because political trends eventually produce societal change, and it is the church's job to be society's watchman and warn the people of coming destruction, whether internally or externally generated (Ezekiel 33:1-11). For this reason, the church cautions against the trend of religion entering politics. Candidates seeking the most powerful office in the world will say or do anything to become electable, and they need the voting power of the Religious Right. Using religion to gain temporal power is an old ploy, not far removed from the hypocrisy of the Pharisees that Jesus condemned (Matthew 23). History shows that religion and politics do not mix well, since each corrupts the other with delusions of power. When the righteous rule, the people rejoice, but a religious person is not necessarily a righteous person (Proverbs 29:2). Americans should learn to discern the difference.

The church maintains a position of political neutrality, as it does not align with either conservative or liberal ideologies. This stance is rooted in the belief that followers of God should not be categorized as rightists or leftists but as "God-ists," focusing on God's way, which transcends political labels. The church's approach is to remain separate from worldly political affairs, emphasizing that its members' citizenship is in heaven, not in any earthly nation. This separation is crucial for maintaining devotion to spiritual goals over earthly political concerns.

Christians are caught between government forces and opposition groups in many places, desiring only to be left alone to live in peace. In the United States, the government is preparing to reject any group attempting to overthrow it, while the populace remains relatively peaceful despite having many firearms. Christians must maintain a position of neutrality, which is difficult due to patriotic feelings. Neutrality often results in being distrusted and hated by both sides of a conflict. During the American Civil War, neutrality was a major issue because people wanted to know where everyone stood, and neutrals were not trusted by either side. Christians are forbidden to involve themselves in national affairs such as war, as Jesus' Kingdom is not of this world.
