How “moral” is it to have a religious faith in government?

If these protesters believe any cut in public spending is bad, why don’t they start a fund and offer to make it up from their own resources? They obviously have the time and money to do so. Let the Baptists start charter schools and let the NAACP fund initiatives if they think they are critical. I don’t see the virtue in asking others to pay for your belief in big government.

I challenge her biblical knowledge.

God divides worldly responsibilities into three arenas; government, church and the home.

The government is to provide the common defense, secure property rights, punish property and violent criminals, and provide a civil court system.

The church is to minister and care for the helpless, indigent and poor without families to do such duties.

PARENTS are responsible for the EDUCATION of their children, and as stated above FAMILIES bear first responsibility for the well being of their members.

Letting the government turn into the “giverment” by usurping the two areas clearly NOT under its authority has led to our current decline.

Take your kids out of public school. Avoid employment in any agency usurping the authority God gave to the home and church. Tithe the ten percent before taxes and be vigilant in how your church spends its resources.
