Essay: Separation of Church and State? Should Christian Nations promote Christianity and Gospel Values?

To separate the Church from the State is contrary to God's Intention in making Jesus Christ King of kings. If Jesus Christ is King of kings, it follows logically that kings, or presidents or prime ministers, especially in a traditionally Judeo-Christian or Christian-Majority country, are bound to be subject to His Reign, and work for the good and the growth of His Kingdom everywhere, in their own countries first, then in others as well. Separation of Church and State is thus a liberal error, not a Biblical Truth, which denies the Kingship of Christ.

Bible verses

Rev 1:5: "and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood"

1 Tim 6:15: "which He will bring about at the proper time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords"

Rev 17:14: "These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful.”

Explanation

As soldiers serve an earthly king, so earthly kings must serve Jesus Christ as loyal soldiers of His cause. While granting full religious freedom to all, they must promote the religion they religion they know in heart and Conscience to be the Truth, i.e. Christianity.

Likewise, when it comes to moral values, i.e. to Gospel Values on Pro-Life, Pro-Family, Pro-Marriage issues, while of course not everything that is a sin or private vice is a legal crime, government must still take steps to promote public virtue as defined/explained in the Gospel.

Rationale

Government cannot be indifferent to vice/sins, as if it were of no long term consequence, especially public displays of vice that harm children. It is thus a moral and religious obligation for Christians to work to counter it. It also further explains, especially in a democratic country, why Evangelism, gaining converts, and mobilizing for the Lord's Cause, which all Christians know to be necessary, is so important. Without widespread support, these things in practice cannot be implemented.

But whether they can be implemented in a concrete situation, Christians should be clear on the Biblical Principle itself. And then, as people work and pray, and the situation changes, e.g. by a Conservative leader like Gov De Santis, known for his powerful Anti-Woke stance, becoming a President, then, just like on the Pro-Life issue, Anti-Woke Agenda must be implemented by Real Serious Conservatives.

In time, everyone will benefit from this, including even Liberals and Secularists, and this even economically and financially; because as people stop sexualizing kids, kids will instead become proficient in Math and Science, and thus hard-working and productive, and more likely to be financially successful in time, which will also help grow the economy in time - by which we rebut mere economic conservatives who say we should only be concerned about the economy, thus making a god out of the economy. Yet, improvement on the moral issues will lead in time to improvement on economic issues as well. Those who seek the Kingdom of God first have everything added, as Lord Jesus Christ said. Whereas those who seek only worldly things run the risk of completely losing out on Spiritual Blessings and sometimes even lose the worldly things they sought. Finally, beside the economic and practical improvements explained above, for everyone, even Liberals, which shows Conservatives want the Common Good of all, even Liberals who disagree with us, there are innumerable Moral and Spiritual Benefits, including a greater likelihood of those not yet Christian or believers coming to the Gospel Truth of Jesus and being saved.

Thus, for virtually innumerable reasons, it must be held as of faith, that Christian Nations, when they have the Power to do so, like when a Good Solid Pro-Life and Anti-Woke Christian Governor is in power, while respecting religious freedom, must promote Gospel Values to all.

The Truth of this Proposition is also show by the evil consequences of not doing this: Before around 50 years, almost all Christian Nations used to do this, both in their own countries, and then everywhere else, for the Common Good of Christendom, and all humanity as a whole.

But after Christian Nations ceased to do this, then unbelievers began to become more and more numerous, and Christians and Conservatives suffered many defeats on the Cultural Front. This must never happen again and we must realize not using Government to promote Religion, and Gospel Morality, when we can do it, is a mistake we must never make again. The Left uses Government to promote LGBT Religion and Marxist values. If then they can use it to promote False Religion, it necessarily values we can use it to promote True Religion. In fact, we have special obligations to Objective Truth that we do not in any way have to Subjective Errors, like liberal gender-bending errors, woke ideology itself, and and false idol rather than the True God. Therefore, again, Government, when possible, must promote Gospel Values.

In fact, we have special obligations to Objective Truth that we do not in any way have to Subjective Errors, like liberal gender-bending errors, woke ideology itself, and to any false idol rather than the True God. We have obligations to the True God because He is True; "we are in Him who is True, even in His Son Jesus Christ"; "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life". We have no obligations to a false god, because we have no obligations toward what is objectively false. Therefore, again, Government, when possible, must promote Gospel Values.
