Who is it then, who blends Christianity and the secular world, trying to pass laws based on Christianity into worldly governments?
Because if we're keeping the two things separate on the one hand, yet simultaneously blending them together on the other by voting in a "Christian" manner... Then isn't that total hypocrisy?
Basically this is saying there is a dividing line, but then there is no line.
It depends on their reasoning. For instance, I'm against abortion on the secular level and for reasons that are quite separate from my faith - although faith does inform my idea of right and wrong...
So, it may or may not be a hypocrisy or a misunderstanding of scripture.
Everyone believes in laws that are a positive benefit for society, and we all base those ideas on something -often, it's not a matter of trying to make secular society into the church but living in the type of society we feel comfortable in.
There are extremes both on the right and the left, however, that do try to make secular society into the church.
I believe Biblically this is more than a mistake, but a sin against God...
