Revolution
Post #1Many Christians have claimed that the US constitution is a work of god. Would a Revolution against it for a better government be a sin against god's established law? Lets say that our government in the USA becomes a Christian based government. Would it be heretical to oppose it? Think back to King Geaorge before you answer.

If our Constitution is a work of God it shouldn't be changed. If it is not, we have provisions to tweek it so that it is. But we need Godly men who will tweek it in the right direction.

Post #3Why do you need godly men to tweek it? It is a secular document made to be completely different than a theocracy. It is the secular principles that secures your right to believe what you want.

"We are fooling ourselves if we imagine that we can ever make the authentic Gospel popular......it is too simple in an age of rationalism; too narrow in an age of pluralism; too humiliating in an age of self-confidence; too demanding in an age of permissiveness; and too unpatriotic in an age of blind nationalism." Rev. John R.W. Stott, CBE
