Once that question is answered it is business of the church to tell its members what they should or should not be doing.

That's fine. However, forcing the opinion of the church on the rest of society disregards the very foundation of liberty.

Of all the gifts of God I believe that “The Church” dislikes free will the most.

You are putting yourself in an odd position. You have already stated that "it is between the individual and God". Yet God makes it clear in scripture that individuals are supposed to be part of a church.

Then there is the issue is seperation of church and state. If one does one's homework it is easy to find that Jefferson was explaining to a church that the government was restricted from involving itself w/ the church - but not the other way around.

You seem to think it is wrong for any individual or group to impose its moral framework upon everyone else. Is that correct?
