How Government Has Violated Separation of Church and State

As we prepare for four more long years of what David Barton calls the most anti-biblical president in history, it scares me to think of how much more the church can get isolated by 2016. Considering how this man who I refuse to call president has already stated that we are not a Christian nation although the founding fathers clearly intended us to be, I am afraid of what mandates the government will try and place on churches.

The sad part is that they removed the bible and Ten Commandments from schools saying that there was a separation of Church and State. The liberals have totally gone against what that term was supposed to mean. It was supposed to be that one could not be jailed or punished for his beliefs. It never was supposed to mean that prayer couldn't be part of public school or other public venues.

What Separation of Church and State means is that there are certain roles for the church and certain roles for the state. Mark 12:17 states

 

Give what is Caesar's to Caesar and what is God's to God.

The liberas cry about this being a violation of the separation of church and state, yet they fail to recognize how they violated this concept. There a couple I can think of that many will not call separation of church and state issues.

Marriage

Marriage is clearly defined early in the bible in Genesis 2:22-24

Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.  The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman, ' for she was taken out of man."  For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

 

Yet this liberal government has tried to redefine what marriage is. Marriage is a church issue, not a government one. Therefore, government needs to stay out of this altoghether. Why aren't there crys about separation of church and state here.

 

 

Welfare

You may think that welfare is not a violation of the concept of church and state but it really is.

2 Corinthians  9:7 states

Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

That means that providing for those who are less fortunate is a matter for the church, and not the state. That is the whole point of the 10 percent. If everyone gives a little nobody has to give a lot. But people can't be mandated to give, it needs to be on their own free will. Otherwise, it doesn't count.

Therefore, government assistance agencies such as welfare and child support never should have been created. In the state's defense here though, people did stop tithing like they did before. It is on the people to understand that the 10 percent makes sense and there is a purpose to it and start tithing like they used to. Then the government needs to do away with programs such as this which do nothing but create more debt.

We know where Obama stands on the idea of us being a Christian nation and it is just terrifying to think how much further away from that we will get over the next four years. God help us.
