Again, please direct me to the chapter in the Bible where Christ commands His followers to stop evangelizing, move to Rome, lobby the Senate and instead just have the government arrest everyone not following His teachings.
You're being dishonest. Christ never commanded those specific things, and you know that, but you also know that Christ has commanded his followers to keep the Law and that It is Holy. I find it hard to believe that one can be a Southern Baptist and reject the Old Testament to a point where you're okay with allowing sin to pollute the land.
So I take it in addition to demanding the government execute homosexuals youre also advocating the arrest and imprisonment of people who have sex outside of marriage and look at naked women?
Yes I would be very much in favor of such laws. Those laws against adultery and pornography were happily upheld for a great majority of our nation's history. They were also understood to be crimes punishable by the Christian State throughout Christian history as well. The problem is that you've bought into the modernist, secular culture that says God has no place in society.
Well, he does, and it's at the very top.

No, I know God has a very important place in society, culture and most importantly my own life. I just don’t believe Christ wants to to save souls by threatening them at government gunpoint.
Since you’re so keen on arresting and imprisoning all sinners, would you arrest people who eat pork and shellfish? There are a lot of Christians who believe that in sinful.
What you are preaching is a lazy Christianity. Why put up with the hassle of personal witnessing and life of humble servitude when you can give government agents guns and have them crack the skulls of people who offend you?
I don’t seem to recall Christ telling His followers to round up all the sinners and throw them in cages.
