Religious right

[jasonc]

Ethics,not based on the bible.oh that needs it's own thread.

Not so, Bill. I provided you with a definition of what a Right Wing agenda involves. The late Francis Schaeffer used to use the term co-belligerence when Christians joined with non-Christians on a common issue, whether that be moral, economic or cultural. See the article, 'Co-belligerence: Compromise or Christian duty?'

Seems to me that you could be confusing the issues between Gospel and political action.

No Oz, you provided me with a non-authoritative consensus of what the people that created the misnomer in the first place think. It is of no value in the Grand scheme of life and therefore of no value to the Christian World view.

Deu 4:1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.

Lev 18:5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
Deu 6:24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.
Deu 30:16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Psa 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Psa 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
Psa 19:8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

There were very good reasons government here was delineated from "religion."

But that is not true. The eight words used by the supremes to violate the Constitution are extracted from a letter by Jefferson to the Philadelphia Baptists illustrating that the government of the United States could never establish a National Religion. People believe those eight words are an exclusive context when instead the supremes did a nasty, nasty thing to Jefferson's letter and acted lawlessly and the American Secular people, out numbering the God Followers by far, applaud them. nothing more there than out right sin.

You'd prefer the Pope to be the head of our government then? Or Billy Graham? Or Kenneth Copeland?

You see the problem?

Freedom of religion dictates that religion must be out of the government because there are TOO MANY of these various factions to deal with.

I personally wouldn't accept anyone over the government than Jesus Himself. That's not going to happen, til it does.

Smaller,
I, except for English Lit. graduated the Eighth Grade and earned my GED in the military but I am not so foolish and unlearned that I should try to fill anyone's mouth with gibberish. That is what you just did to me.

All of my College and other advanced education was done at the County College Level or in a Library or through books purchased by myself and studied.

But nowhere in Jefferson's Letter to the Philly Baptists is such stupidity suggested and nowhere in the scriptures is such suggested leaving me with zero ideas for where you extracted such a filth filled idea to try to insert into my teaching.

Shame on you, little man. Please read, study and stay on topic and try not to use use such veiled personal attacks, it is unbecoming.

The day the pope moves back into the white house is the day I'll depart.

What I will point to on "all law" is that it empowers lawlessness and sin. Which is WHY we are struggling in this country to begin with. We have been over run with lawyers and laws that have, for all intents and purposes made us illegal and slaves to THEIR laws.

I am not a slave of the law.

1 Corinthians 15:56
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

This has naught to do with the topic, sir. Please, back on topic and no personal comments, okay?
