Nor is it why governments exist. It is why demagogic politicians PRETEND government exists, but the history of governments is not one of seeking common good, but advancing the cause of a few over all the rest.
Many governments in history, including our current government, have succumbed to corruption but corruption is not the reason for governments. Government loses legitimacy to the extent it fails to seek the common good.
I showed a passage that clearly teaches the goal of the church - its focus - is not the common good of mankind. Indeed, friendship with God requires the enmity of the world. If you believe otherwise, please show scripture to explain why the church should be focused on the ‘common good’.
“corruption is not the reason for governments”
Corruption SHOULDN’T be the reason for government, but it is hard to look at history and conclude that government exists for the common good.
