If you agree with the Founders' foundational concept of Manifest Destiny (God established the U.S. to spread freedom throughout the world), then political involvement is included in the "render unto Caeser what is Caeser's" principle. Humanitarian aid missions in Third World countries (especially those who benefit from American Christian generosity) understand that what happens in America directly affects their ability to function. Christians need to cowboy up and develop the tough faith that overturned tables due to cheating and stop equating "spirituality" with wusshood!
Even more scandalous...John Jay was president of The American Bible Society?!?!? How dare he!!!!!!!!!
Maybe the word "approve" could be changed to maintain...so there's no room for "we approved it but 'they' prevented it from happening"...you are truly a pragmatist! Good stuff!
Just joined the site and remember seeing that agreement is needed in 7 of the 9 principles. If we can't agree to disagree on some principles with the intent of focusing on becoming united, we need to pick-up our marbles and all go home! We can do this - we just have to decide that our "personal opinions" are less important than uniting to defend our Constitution!
