Sanctification, and a Separation Between Church and State

 People who love God, love Truth and Justice.  The closer to God a man is, the more is does the right things when nobody is looking.  God is Honorable.  In The Book of Judges, Israel was different from other nations.  Israel had no Kings.  God was their King.  God ruled through his Holy Spirit.....until Israel fell away.  Israel, having fallen away, they became oppressed by their neighbors.  God would send them a Judge.  Given someone was to say that God's form of Government is more like the Book of Judges, there is a strong position there.  In the Kingdom of God, a man may be King of Castle.  He doesn't need a lot of government.  In 2025, a lot of people have been in sin.  People in sin, they may have needed a Nanny State?  Today, we are going to look at some issues around a Separation of Church and State, and barriers Christians may find as they build The Kingdom of God.  

Satan, and Satanism, was like a leech.  It fed off Christians and corruption.  In the Middle Ages, doctors may have proscribed leeches towards healing.  That is a sign of something.  Satan needs Christians.  Christians don't need Satan.  

The further left politically someone was, the more they liked to attach themselves to Christians.  Saul Alinsky, for example, he was a community organizer.  He would attach himself to a community, he would attach himself to a Church, and he work his way into places of authority and trust.  After some time had passed, he may have started espousing non-Biblical views.  Saul Alinsky was a wolf in sheep clothing, and so were his followers. In general, many more traditional or "conservative" people, they would like to be left alone.  The further left someone is, the more they want to push their politics, their agenda onto people.  

The United States is a Federal System.  Given someone doesn't like the politics in Massachusetts, they could vote with their feet and leave, or stick around, and look to persuade others.  Given someone doesn't like the politics in Florida, they can leave. Understanding a Federal System would be part of Madison's 10th Federalist Paper on dealing with factions.  Prior to Roe vs Wade, states had the 10th Amendment right to rule on moral issues.  Some unelected activist judges, they suddenly discovered a "Right to Privacy" that wasn't in the 14th Amendment. That would be an example of "The Left" working to force its politics over the entire nation.  There is a theme here.  Dishonorable people, they tend towards Totalitarianism.  Dishonorable people, like Woke was during COVID, they may have been liars and schemers, and they believed the ends justify the means.  Someone who loves the Lord Jesus Christ, he is for Truth and Justice.  God is Honorable.  

There is nothing wrong with Christians forming their own communities, sort of like the Ultra Orthodox Jews in New York.  Christians should be living in Christian neighborhoods, where their neighbors are Christians.  Christians building the Kingdom of God may be producing Christian Culture.  Once that starts happening......The Left would hate that?  They would send protestors and agitators and potentially attack people through the courts?  Someone should be mindful of this.  

Is there a separation between Church and State as Secular Humanist/Atheist would define it?  King Henry VIII, he was Secular Authority ruling over a Christian Nation.  Secular means "Not directly under religious authority."  King Henry VIII, he wanted a divorce.  King Henry went to the Pope, religious authority.  The Pope said "No."  Are certain societal things, like marriage and divorce, like education, are those the realms or sphere of religion?  Something to think about.  I don't know a single Christian denomination that believes in No-Fault Divorce; yet, Secular Judges have been granting No-Fault divorces, to Christians married in Churches for decades.  

This are things to pray about and talk with God about.  In many States there may be an amendment in the State Constitution that says something like:  

North Carolina State Constitution - Declaration of Rights.   

Sec. 13.  Religious liberty.

All persons have a natural and inalienable right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences, and no human authority shall, in any case whatever, control or interfere with the rights of conscience.

This clause is different from state to state.  Someone should be mindful of it.  Given a group of people are working to build a Christian Community, the State may have not authority to be in the way.
