Church and State
Jun 10th, 2009 by Randy Toman
The separation of church and state as defined today fails in the interpretation of the problem. First, Church is no longer thought of as a Christian entity but a catchall phase that indicates some rule of philosophy. Second, government has been established as the social order, spreading their philosophical control over man. Third, since Christianity and the Bible has evolved into something not accepted within the definition of separation of church and state there is no ecclesiastical front from which to argue true social order. Fourth, increasingly religious liberty is being replaced with a toleration of religion.
This “Toleration” by government is something that should not be accepted by its citizens. Because just as toleration with its’ understanding that government has the power to grant, consent is automatically relinquished and control and power is given to government. To have true “Liberty of Conscience” the citizen should not think to give in on either point.
We have the government with its toleration of the citizens and total avoidance of any thought that they need “Consent” and/or approval from any of its citizenry. When was the last time any government agency thought to get any consent from the citizen for anything done and/or any law passed by a government ruling body? Any protest by the citizen is simply brushed aside and/or ignored. We have had example after example with polling data saying the people disapprove with no “Consent” given for government action.
The government is “Tolerating” the citizens action IE: Tea Party’s signing of partitions etc. all the time ignoring and continuing down the path without the “Consent” of the citizens. What are we to do? “WE THE PEOPLE”—SHALL SEE” and shortly.
Separation of church and state is now complete with the state becoming the religion IE: the church. The people have no church but the state they give no consent for anything anymore, and are tolerated with a controlled guidance. Sad isn’t it and I might add a very dangerous position for the citizens to be in.
Ecclesiastes 10:4,5 King James Bible;
4/ “If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place: for yielding pacifieth great offence.”
5/ “There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler.”
