Previous post maybe a stretch... Thoughts?

Sounds to me like stretching in exactly the right direction.

God has provided us with many resources for influencing affairs to the good. They’re no secret, they’re right there in the bible.

Just because something might not be under much divine help today, doesn’t mean it won’t be that way tomorrow. The bible has other promises to this effect e.g. “The God of peace will soon crush Satan beneath your feet.”

The armies of God can achieve victories that the armies of earth never can, and they would be foolish to refrain from trying. But, they should try in godly ways. Otherwise we get ridiculous amalgams of church and Caesar such as what we knew as Prohibition. The bible said, do not get drunk. Caesar could only say, never drink alcohol. It should not have needed a spiritual PhD to know this was a recipe for disaster.
