You are welcome to your opinion.
I disagree.
I don’t want gov’t in my church.
And I don’t want my church in government.
Then you must really despise the founding fathers, some letters they wrote to the newspapers called the Federalist Papers, and a piece of paper they drafted called the American U.S. Constitution.
You’re failing to make an important distinction between the organized “church” and the “free exercise of religion.” The activities of a church as a religious organization and denomination is certainly not the same thing as the activities of individuals in the free exercise of their religion. But the modern-day Leftists have blurred this distinction to unconstitutionally curtail individual free exercise of religion and have used the unconstitutional phrase “separation of church and state” to justify doing so.
Nobody wants government in their church or meddling with their free exercise of religion. This governmental meddling is patently unconstitutional.
But religion and religious beliefs (not necessarily your organized denominational church) can and should be freely exercised in government. The Constitution and the stone carvings all around Washington D.C. and state government buildings across the country testify to the need for just that: the free exercise of religion in government.
The Church which are God’s people who have the Tree of Life (Jesus Christ) and are the Tree of Life to this world, has the medicine a government needs for a nation’s healing, cure and wholeness (Rev 22:2). To separate the free exercise of religion from government is to take away the doctors that would keep the patient healthy. That is EXACTLY what has taken place in our modern times and is EXACTLY why the government is so sick and destructive.
If you take the free exercise of religion out of government, Satan will have free reign to turn government against you so you will have neither a church OR free exercise of religion. This is taking place right now as we so enjoyably discuss this.
You must hate the Founders of this country...........
I understand what you are saying. But I don't have any idea why you're saying it -- other than a personal quirk. What principle underlays your thinking?
If government ha no impact upon the church, I could understand it. But government does have an impact upon the church -- more than it justifiably should, actually.
In which case, shouldn't the church be allowed to have an opinion -- just like any other institution impacted by government? Like education? Like businesses? Like municipalities?
