We obey God's law because of our beliefs, not because of legislation.

quote:

Any laws legislated by the government should be about protecting our civil liberties, including our freedom to worship as we choose.

quote:

And yes, I still stand by my theocracy statement.

quote:

I have no disagreement here. The thieves stole, and therefore violated the civil liberties of others. They received the proper punishment from the government as ordained by God. Where I would disagree with you is if they were executed for a lifestyle choice.

quote:


That was most certainly you then. You stated that the constitution is a Godless document because it provides the freedom to worship other gods. I would like to find an archive. I have the memory of an elephant.

quote:

I serve God in both my actions and words.

quote:

I trust that His work will be done through His people, from the bottom up, as commanded by Christ in the Great Commission.

quote:


I trust the government only to protect civil liberties and to punish those who violate them as ordained by God.

quote:


And again, you are advocating a theocracy.

quote:

Let's call a spade a spade here. How are you not advocating for a theocracy basing all the laws on the Bible and not the constitution?

quote:

Actually, it's pretty clearly defined.

quote:

When we legislate morality, it can get very tricky. Not everyone in our nation are followers of Jesus, and many will hold to different moral standards, some that might come in direct conflict with Christianity, some that if they were given the power, could come and use some of our moral legislation against us.

quote:


Live your morals, encourage others to, but don't force them because it accomplishes nothing.
