Re: God vs the Constitution

Anyone arguing for a man run government or legal system that is based on the laws of God does not understand God.

The simple fact is, if every person alive obeyed the laws of God there would be no need for any government.

BUT the bible never suggests such a situation is even possible. The entire bible is explicit that there is a spiritual war taking place with evil and that evil is ever present.

The bible tells us that our enemy is NOT a carnal (in the flesh) enemy. Rather it is spiritual. "We wrestle not against flesh and blood..."

Further, government is that which seeks to control people. Paul suggests we "Identify with the sufferings of Christ". One cannot identify with the sufferings of Christ which included in no small part being persecuted by government, if WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT.

Paul instructed over and over that the law we obey is written on the heart. NOT a law that is tangible. Paul clearly indicates that we are citizens of heaven NOT citizens of some earthly kingdom.

Any suggestion that Christians who do not desire an actual God based government aren't biblical is itself anti-biblica.

You legislate, what GOD considers a matter of the hart. period. THAT itself is an Anti-Christ spirit.
