. (“If any of you has a dispute with another, dare he take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the saints?” -- 1 Corinthians 6:1 NIV) How interesting! Considering that state is separate from church all courts are supposedly “ungodly”. Does this stop Christians from tying up the supreme court with law suits concerning school prayer, abortion, or numerous other absurdities? Hell no it doesn’t, and my taxes are paying the ******* bill for their hypocrisy!

LOL. if more christians actually looked into this, then we would not have lawsuits like the whole "McDonald's made me fat because I ate it every day."

All those subjects that were mentioned were issues involved with civil rights. Separation of Church and State was to establish no national religion (eg. Saudi Arabia) not to infringe upon people's ability to practice their religion.
Remember this "secular" government was founded by Christians based upon many biblical principals and those laws have made this country one one of the best places to be in the world.
So if you would like to spend your money somewhere else - be my guest.
You need to get out in the world a little bit to appreciate those freedoms afforded to you as an American through the original Christians who formed this country.

YOU say that the state is separate from the church. What ever that means. So is Wal-mart. That doesn't mean a Christian can't shop in Wal-mart.
The Apostle Paul was speaking to Christians to not take other Christians to court.
Anyone who doesn't believe in God, by definition would be "ungodly" or without God. What a sad condition.
The courts are involved with lots of things. Some seem absurb to me, some seem absurb to you, and some seem absurb to both of us. There goes more of our taxes.

That is true and their are true christian organizations that still practice this belief for example the Seventh day adventist church. The popular religions of our day are not living up to all the Biblical statues and thus it causes doubt for many. The truth still remain and there are true christian churchs out there that practice what the Bible teaches.

It was written to Christians concerning their internal disputes. We, as Christians, are not to take each other to court in our disputes within the congregation.
If a fellow Christian does something against me, I take it before the church.

W15. Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him( being Jesus) in his talk. 16. And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. 17. Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? 18. But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 19. Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. 20. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 21. They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
hy are you so upset about this..Give me a break!!! Now don't you sound a bit foolish.
PS The laws are Caesar (so to speak) and therefore we not only obey them we may use them to satisfy injustice.

Secular courts are the only ones recognized by the government. To expect people to go elsewhere is foolish.

Well at least you're reading the Bible, keep going, perhaps if you read enough you will answer your own question. Perhaps you are searching for more than just the answer to this question. Best of Luck.
