Brother .we actually have many scriptural admonitions against what we have done for over two hundered years ...Paul warned us ..If any man cause divisions contrary to the doctrines that you have received from me , mark that man and avoid him for he does not serve the Lord Jesus Christ but his own belly ...This would be men like Thomas Paine , Thomas Jefferson , who railed against the King Of England ..read the declaration , Patrick Henry ..Give me liberty or give me death ... All you do in word or deed , do in the name of Jesus Christ ..(not country nor for the sake of liberty, nor to fight communism or any of the other marketing campaigns pitched to us in order to deceive .
Lastly , we are told not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers ( which is NOT written in the context of marriage although most people are not familiar enough with the bible to understand this .) To get a truthful answer we must ask questions ....is this not a country of believers and unbelievers yoked and united together under a common flag ? Those who hate Christ with those who love him ? What is the truth ? This country, I believe,, is about itself ..not Jesus Christ . Patriotism in the living body of Jesus Christ ? Which joint ?
The church has done this to herself! Why we had divisions of doctrine ling before the founders of this nation. We are having divisions right now in the Christian Forms over doctrines. So the church is far more guilty of this that any non believer is.
This country is guilty of many sins. The people of this country are guilty right now. We are to be the light that shines in darkness. And we are, but the darkness hates us for it just like Jesus said.
Yet for all it's guilt the people of this country have done amazing things to overcome it's guilt. We died and bled to free the slaves. We passed civil rights laws. We have given our blood to save the world from Tyranny. Our people are the most giving people of the world. We give Billions to foreign aid. Our people travel the world to help others. We build hospitals and creat medicines. We invented so many things that help mankind. I am glad I belong to a country that has done those things.
At the same time I weep for our country as I see the sin of abortion, the sexual immorality, the drug use, the deaths on our school grounds and in our cities. I see the rise of homosexuality and the waste of money.
We are United with unbelievers every single day. We walk with them we talk with them, we work with them in unity under a common employer. That is no different than united under a common flag. Do you demand we cast off our employer and only unite under Christian employers? No of course not.
Unequally yoked does mean we can't ever be united with unbelievers under any circumstances. We have plenty of unbelievers who are pro life. Do we stay away from them? No we don't.
