“In any case, unlike the Koran, slavery, divine right of kings, is NOT codified into Christian doctrine. Therefore, the Church; i.e., ALL Christian denominations, can coexist with various governmental organizations.”

Good points. You must be a John Locke fan...

In fact, that is one things Liberals either do not understand about Christianity or hate vehemently if they do. Christianity does not support or oppose any form of government or social institution like even slavery. Christianity is a religion for individuals who are to be themselves holy regardless of the milieu. There is no social gospel. If you are a slave you must be righteous. If you are a king you must be righteous. There is no requirement to force anything on anyone but there is a call to educate mankind- to “spread the Good News.”
