You asked the difference between Islam and Christianity. I told you.

I didn't ask you what the difference was. I know the difference. In your world, the State may tresspass to enforce the law. That is the same with the extremist Muslim nationalists as well. They believe that it is proper for the state to administer God's law. That would include entering a home to kill a person accused of walking unescorted in some Muslim theocracies and if you are to be consistent, then the State would be within its rights to execute unbelievers. After all, if all of the commandments are under the civil powers, "Thou Shalt put no other God's before me" is fair game for the magistrate.

"Romans says the higher powers are of God and there is no place in the bible that prohibits enforcement of civil law at a person's home.

Irrelevant. If the civil law provides the authorization to trespass (something forbidden in the Bible as has been pointed out to you) where there is no known crime being committed (harm against another individual) then the civil law has just fallen out of God's favor and authority.

If you are going to hold fast to this farce you have erected, then you need to admit that freedom to practice a religion other than Christianity makes the civil law of the US unclean.

If civil law does not conflict with biblical teachings, it is of God and is ordained of God.

So you do then agree that the Constitution is not of God?

Can you read?

Absolutely.

It's not tresspassing.

OP is the one that says God's old testament ordinances should be enforced by the state. I've not said that.

That would include entering a home to kill a person accused of walking unescorted in some Muslim theocracies and if you are to be consistent, then the State would be within its rights to execute unbelievers.

Nope, the bible prohibits this.

After all, if all of the commandments are under the civil powers, "Thou Shalt put no other God's before me" is fair game for the magistrate.

Except for the fact that the bible says not to uproot the tares.

Irrelevant.

Revelant.

If the civil law provides the authorization to trespass (something forbidden in the Bible as has been pointed out to you)...

Kings ordinance neighbor to neighbor. A drug dealer is not my neighbor. A lot of the old testament ordinances are not in effect anymore anyway.

...where there is no known crime being committed (harm against another individual) then the civil law has just fallen out of God's favor and authority.

Drug dealers commit harm to society. They are evil.

If you are going to hold fast to this farce you have erected, then you need to admit that freedom to practice a religion other than Christianity makes the civil law of the US unclean.

God says to not grieve with your teachings.

So you do then agree that the Constitution is not of God?

The constitution was written in compliance with God's laws.

So then you agree that the Constitution is not a libertarian document?
