[QUOTE="gengwall, post: 38746724, member: 140286"] But Jesus refrained from inserting religion into politics. He refused to get caught up in the political games the religious leaders, and even Pilate, wanted to play. His kingdom is "not of this world". I would argue that we are impoverished spiritually by intertwining religion with the government, because it detracts from our true calling and forces us to, as Boyd puts it, "drop the cross to pick up the sword." In reality, ANY kingdom of this world is incompatible with the Kingdom of God as manifested in Jesus and therefore any attempt at connecting those two incompatible entitites waters down both of them. IMO. [/QUOTE]
