Because Jesus does not command it? Because everyone doesn't believe like you do and it is wrong to use political power to force the actions of those who do not believe to correspond to your own personal interpretation of God and Jesus? But the most important reason is to keep the corruption of politics OUT of the church. The church does not break politics, politics will corrupt and break the church, America was NOT founded as a theocracy. If you want that, move to the Middle East (see what this mix has brought them?). I'm not saying you cannot have Christians IN government--but understand, that is not the same thing as a "Christian government."
Because Jesus did not command it? Because it is wrong to use the power of government to force your beliefs and behaviors on those who do not share those beliefs? Because it leads to conflict between religious groups as they vie for power (see Middle East for perfect examples). Most importantly, because religion does not purify or fix politics--it is politics that corrupts religion and religious beliefs. EVERYwhere religion and politics have mixed in history violence and conflict has been the result. This does not mean you cannot have Christians in government==that is quite something else.
I am so grateful that this timely program was recorded and available to those of us who were unable to attend in person. Thank you!
lmao yeah sharia is better
Secular pluralism is better. That way we all get to do our own thing in freedom.
@@alabamapilot244 Marxism is a religion. There is no secularism.
@@M4RXtard-l5h Do tell.
That's a false dichotomy
@@M4RXtard-l5hno, it literally isn't. It's an intellectual criticism of capitalism. Has nothing to do with faith or God. It's economic theory.
Not sure why you wouldn't want a Christian Government as a Christian.
Because there are over 10,000 denominations of Christianity and it's almost impossible to find two Christians who agree on everything, for a start.
Because we value the first amendment. We can't have the cake and eat it too, it only leads to persecution and instability, if not all out warfare.
@@He.knows.nothing Marxists dont value the first amendment. You will go down.
