| I think that people need to trash the idea that the US is a "Christian nation". It's not. As long as people insist on trying to force people to act like Christians instead of convincing them to be such, all such endeavors will ever accomplish is polarizing and backlash. Such people have lost sight of the grace that was given to them and have decided to name themselves some kind of divine enforcers. It is evident that Christianity was never meant to perpetuate itself through the edicts and enforcement of man-made institutions of government. If it were, Christ would have been, as the Jews expected, a military Messiah with a crown and a sword. As it is, He chose a different way to perpetuate His Truth, and Christians should imitate that.
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6 |
