I don't think many know that back in the late 1700s, after our independence, it was one of the first tasks of Congress to print Bibles so anyone could get ahold of one.
When I think of defining politics, it is the discussion and debate of ideas of what is good, right and best for people in a society and nation. Taking God out of the discussion, of what is best, we take out the One who actually knows the truth in how He created things to be and what is truly best for people and a society. How can we not be a part of that discussion? Isn’t that sharing the Gospel and making disciples?
Religion should not be a part of politics because it does not reflect objective and universal values. Yes, many believe that the Bible contains what is truly good for society. However, the United States is supposed to be a country of all its citizens, not just its Christian ones. We can do that by instead of reflecting only Christian values, we reflect universal values and morals such as: poverty is bad, murder is bad, war is bad, democracy is good, and so on and so forth. However, there can be some issues where religion is major. One example is abortion. Many people are totally against it because it would go against their religious beliefs. Others think abortion should be legal in any scenario. To find a compromise, we should use something that is objectively right: science.
@@quincycostello6726 You have some very interesting talking points in your comment here. One that kind of sticks out to me 1st is going by science. In the past, it may not have been so clear to most people, but with science and ultrasound, we do know what is going on in the womb of a woman. We absolutely know that it is a human being. None of us would be here today without going through that part of our life. It is not a part of the woman, it is an individual living human being.
Separation of State and Church sounds better to me… the church will always have a saying in our day to day political decisions because we are a conglomerate of voting people and who can exercise free speech and other methods of influencing. It is the state that needs to back off, and stay in their lane and don’t dictate to us anything.
That sounds good to me too. In fact, that's what's happening ain't it? The church stays out of the government's business and the government stays out of the church's business. Your church can tell you what day you have to keep as Sabbath but the government can't. When the church gets to making and doing away with laws you'll understand then 🙂🙃
This separation idea obviously affected most of humanity. I think these two critical issues has its own way of serving a person needs. A person has a body and Spirit in which both State and Faith has to care of. My opinion is that there is no separation between these two concepts.
Religion in politics is a major issue in todays world. Decisions should not be made based off of a religious belief. It imposes on people’s individual autonomy
REVELATION chapter 13 is the introduction of the political beast system. By 13:11 is the introduction of the Religious beast. 2 horns of power. Both are yet future.
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE WAS IN A LETTER JEFFERSON WROTE-- AND ALL IT MEANT WAS THAT THE GOV IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THEIR HANDS OFF RELIGION!!! THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT WE SEE NOW!
Our government appears to be purely a secular and neutral one as defined by the establishment clause and the free exercise clause. And, there is no religious test to hold even the highest offices in our government. The reasoning behind this is that the framers clearly wanted religious and non-religious plurality to be respected. It does not at all say you cannot be religious in our government (there is no religious test) and even make policy based on your spiritual ideas. But, the moment your religious ideas violate the rights of others (religious favoritism or imposition of ones dogma onto others) it needs to be reigned in. The secular and neutral nature of our government promotes the safety and wellbeing of people of multiple faiths and beliefs, whereas religion itself tends to promote zeal, irrational thinking, superstition, and discrimination, bias, and mistreatment of others outside the religion. On the other hand, secularism can be oppressive to religious communities if it attempts to violate other peoples' rights to practice their religion. (Secular policies and practices must always respect the constitutional principles and civil liberties for all individuals). Let's look at an example or two: In a public school- A coach should be able to pray after a football game. This is this person's right. A coach shouldn't be able to force or request his players to pray with him. (Can offend non-Christian or non-religious players or cause guilt in those who don't participate). Ten commandments at a Christian school (perfectly acceptable in my view). Ten commandments at a public school (violates others' faiths or beliefs; seeks to officiate a religion or its values). Ultimately, it comes down government needing to be impartial and unbiased against any religion or non-religion. The framers wisely decided against making any state religion because they recognized the penchant of religious to oppress other people and the secular and neutral government to be open and fair to multiple religions and non-religious people alike.
Christians stop being alive unto law of commandments in your conscience. Otherwise you will be weak because condemnation of law in your conscience and also you can't live by faith in love of God and Christ.

Freedom of Religion means Freedom from religion too... Sop trying to force your ideology upon the rest of us.
Freedom from religion means freedom from the government because the government is the only one with law making power
No there’s no separation, God is in the government he can also control, but then someone inside our government is becoming so greedy

Care to tell me the first sentence of the first amendment? Jefferson was a deist who disliked Christianity.
Yes, and for religion to keep their hands off government. It goes both ways

Secular is not nuetral
*CBN NEWS Faith vs Culture Separation between Church and State Dan + Billy Trey G Listening from Mass USA TYVM 💙*
Uh prayer, prayer and stay reading The Gospel is how to start
Lets Take religion out of it. If it seems wrong, it is.
The Constitution does not separate church and state. All religions can apply for school vouchers so not promoting one religion.
First sentence of the first amendment?
We were wrong separation is bad business
Separation of church and state is what makes this nation great. Without it, we return to the persecution of the past
Christians stop being alive unto law of commandments in your conscience. Otherwise you will be weak because condemnation of law in your conscience and also you can't live by faith in love of God and Christ.
Live for truth stop lieing this goes for all humanity
