I think I see what you’re saying. I think we are in agreement.

I do believe though, it has to go beyond ethics. In the end, our behavior isn’t salvific—we are in need of Christ.

As far as a “Christian” society, I think ethical behavior is appropriate, yet that won’t matter in eternity.

I guess I'm thinking of cases where it would be nice if non-Christians behaved less badly toward Christians. For example, not go out of their way to sue bakeries that won't bake wedding cakes for gay "marriage" receptions.

Of course if the plan is for Christians to be persecuted, then that's what's got to happen. Praise be to the Lord.
