No, not at all.
However, God established via the Law in the Old Testament what type of laws a righteous nation should have.
Jesus, in the New Testament stated he had not come to do away with the law, but far from it, he came to establish the law in Men's hearts.
At no place does it state in the New Testament that there are to be no laws supporting the morality of the Bible.
That is primarily a Libertarian construct, not a Christian construct.

That is primarily a Libertarian construct, not a Christian construct. And I'm not saying that; what I am saying is that if your concern is rampant immorality then the answer is not the law, but Jesus.
I've had this discussion w/ Ansel12 several times, but he refuses to see the point insisting that the answer is more law… and law at the federal level.
