Would God want us to separate Church and state?

Answer 1

i love Christians


there is no GOD

Answer 2

No. America was founded on the principle that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain rights. That means we have a strong dedication to moral absolutism. That every person is precious and that the rights listed in the Declaration of Independence do not come from the government but from God. They, therefore cannot be removed by any government.

Without a belief in a Creator or God there cannot be any moral absolutism. Without moral absolutism, there can be no America. The very thought that God and State are separable is destroyed by the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence. This country believes in moral absolutes. It believes in God.

Answer 3

No. God should not be separated from anything. He is God. Also the ACLU and all atheists need to read the US Constitution. The "separation of Church and State"
does not exist in the US Constitution. Another secular progressive lie!!! Wake up America!!!!

Answer 4

When was the last time God spoke for himself? It is to the benefit of all men in this great country to keep church and state separate. The foolish Christian don't understand it is also to their benefit as well.

Answer 5

I believe that God wanted our relationship with Him to be a relatively private matter. It is better to pray in private than it is to pray for show, because when you pray for show, you are doing it to impress other people. When you pray, it should come from the heart, and you should really mean to be only talking to God.

For example, I believe public prayer in the school is just for show, and as such, it is not what God would want. If you really believe it, you don't need to wave it in everybody's face and say, "Look, I pray! You should too!"

Besides that, if you want people to respect your religion or to consider converting to your religion, then being too forceful with one's religious views will only hurt your cause. People resist being forced to do anything. They have to want to do it in their own hearts or else it means nothing.

Answer 6

Romans 13 says that Christians are to be in subjection to the governing authorities, because they administer taxes, keep crooks scared and reward the good.

Answer 7

I pretty sure he doesn't want us to close him out of any part of our lives. But how to do this in government run by men? The problem is of course that we should not have a king, or ruling body that makes decision, but be ruled by the Creator who speaks through his prophet. The Jews didn't always want that and I suspect that we, in our foolishness, would not either.

Examples of respect and obedience show what our duty is not what is ideal.

Answer 8

I think so becasue God does not force belief on anyone - not by him so I imagine not by the government either.
Not only that a theocracy doesn't work.

Answer 9

He did. He submitted to the State, which executed him. He said of taxes, to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. He lived under Roman law, which was not Jewish nor Christian, and was in fact Pagan.

Answer 10

No

Becuase God applied to all aspects of life.

Answer 11

Yes, but not righteousness from states. There are too many churches and too many religions, but only one righteousness.
