Friends, Americans, cat lovers, lend me your ears!

Welcome

I have called this blog “Mints for the Mind” because it is my hope that the things that I share will be to your mind as a mint is to your mouth, leaving it feeling cool, clean, and refreshed. Some things may be like starlight mints, some like Mentos, some like BreathSavers, and some like Altoids. Sometimes they may be, instead, more like sourballs, and for those times I ask, in advance, your forgiveness.

Separation of Church and State 01

There can be no separation of Church and State without banning Christians from voting, serving in gov't, or being employed by gov't.


To explain:

1)The Church is not, in its original intent and still truest sense, an organization, especially an organization created by man. The Church is all those who serve God through having faith in Jesus Christ. Therefore, when any person who is a disciple of Jesus Christ is a part of the gov't, then that state has become joined with The Church.

2)To be a disciple of Christ is to come to know God. One does not know the Almighty, Loving God without being changed. The longer one knows God and serves Him the more that one will be changed. Those changes will greatly encompass attitudes, thoughts, and beliefs, and the resulting actions. Such a person's voting will reflect the values of God and The Church. If such a person serves in gov't, or works in gov't, then policies and actions will be influenced by The Church.

As long as there are Christians (parts of the Church) involved in The State, then Church and State will not be separate.
