Look...the Church should not rule the state ...but the people do govern based in ideals they believe in ...they create governing documents based in ideals they believe in... and those ideals they believe in can be learned from God and in Church ....
The Bible told man not to Murder long before the state told man not to Murder... so is that the Church ruling the state or man ruling based in ideals learned from God and in Church?

But which laws should be codified into civic law? The Bible tells me I have to get circumcised too. Should the state mandate that?
