I left a church that wouldn’t take a stand and found one that did thank God.
Me too!❤
Really appreciated the conversation around this topic. There has been a lot of oversimplification around this topic on both sides. We all have our motivations and inclinations about this topic, but if one thing is sure, it's that we cannot thoroughly answer this question much more it's application in life with a simple over the top answer.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THE GOSPEL WORD AND MUCH NEEDED TRUTH!
Well said, the church, as the ground and pillar of Truth (that is, it is supposed to be), should be teaching the civil magistrate what God has commanded regarding their duties before Him as His minister in the civil sphere. And all Christians should, and all Christians should pray that the state would do God’s will within their God-given sphere of authority.
FINALLY!!!
Now, what are we going to do about our taxes going to Planned Parenthood?
That is easy to say as an American but in another form of government you might well have to bear up under sorrow for a time .
The original Constitution of the United States that was ratified in 1789 had only ONE REFERENCE TO RELIGION: [Article 6] No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any Office or Public Trust under the United States.
The de facto motto of the United States, adopted as part of the Great Seal of the U.S. by an Act of Congress in 1782, was E. Pluribus Unum (Out of Many, One). Congress changed it 174 years later (1956) to "In God We Trust".
The ORIGINAL 'Pledge of Allegiance' was written in 1892 by Baptist Minister Francis Bellamy who DID NOT INCLUDE the words "Under God". Those were added by Congress 62 year later (1954).
The U.S. didn't issue Paper Currency until 1861, & 'In God We Trust' didn't appear on it for 96 years (1957).
“As the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian Religion" ~ Treaty of Tripoli; initiated under President George Washington, 1796, signed into law by President John Adams, 1797, ratified unanimously by the Senate, 1797, published in full in all 13 states, with no record of complaint or dissent.
"I am for freedom of religion and against all maneuvers to bring about a legal ascendancy of one sect over another."
--Thomas Jefferson, letter to Elbridge Gerry, January 26, 1799
“Christianity neither is, nor ever was part of the common law.” Thomas Jefferson
“Religion and government will both exist in greater purity the less they are mixed together.” James Madison
“The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.” John Adams
"In every country, in every age, the priest has always been hostile to liberty...He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection of his own."
Thomas Jefferson
Founding Father Thomas Paine on Christianity. “The most detestable wickedness, the most horrid cruelties, and the greatest miseries that have afflicted the human race, have had their origin in this thing called revelation, or revealed religion…”
AMERICA WAS NOT FOUNDED ON "CHRISTIAN VALUES", IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE A CHRISTIAN NATION, IT NEVER WILL BE A CHRISTIAN NATION. AMERICA IS A SECULAR COUNTRY.
