i have begun to question why politics and religion cannot mix in our country. our laws tell us that church and state cannot be one. those words have been said by so many leaders in our country, but is that really true? with each passing day in the united states religion and politics seem to be growing together more and more. to win elections men and women always bring up GOD in their speeches, belief in a policy, or just flat out say it to say it without even really knowing the bible. the one saving grace in all of this is that judgement by you or me will not decide the politician's fate, but GOD's judgement will.
take for instance 9/11, the reason for those attacks was for a hatred of americans and our beliefs. radical islamists felt they were doing the will of allah by killing thousands. religious wars is nothing new, so why would it be different now. egyptians hated the jews, persecuted, enslaved them all for their religion (exodus). paul, whom god instructed to teach and spread the word of CHRIST, murdered and persecuted christians (acts chapter 9). catholics and protestants have fought on what is the true way to worship CHRIST for as long as i can remember. the endless battles of religion throughout history still goes on today. as christians we believe the true path to GOD is through our savior JESUS CHRIST by accepting him into our hearts.
it is said in the bible that GOD does not make mistakes, but i wonder sometimes if he regrets making the promise of not flooding the earth again (genensis 8:20-22). we have made such a mockery of his world and filled it with such evil. we can only learn from our mistakes and with GOD's grace move on. i guess what i am trying to say is that while man creates his own laws in a country, GOD's laws still come before man. our founding father's created this nation under GOD with their faith, the laws were written because of GOD's laws. you are kidding yourself into thinking that nation's are not created because of religion.
"i will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among them. then the nations will know that i am the LORD, declares the SOVEREIGN LORD, when i show myself holy through you before their eyes." ezekial 36:23
