Summary:
In this discussion, the speaker addresses the concept of "separation of church and state," a term popularized in America but not found in the Bible. They argue that biblical examples and principles demonstrate that God expects all individuals, including politicians and rulers, to obey Him.
The speaker highlights several instances from the Bible where prophets and figures of faith engaged with secular authorities, rather than adhering to a strict separation between religious and political spheres:
- Prophets in the Bible: The speaker points out that biblical prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah prophesied during the reigns of kings, even being assigned to the king's court. This contradicts the idea of complete separation of church and state, as these prophets played significant roles in advising and confronting political leaders.
- Moses and Pharaoh: The example of God sending Moses to warn Pharaoh to "let my people go" is mentioned. The speaker suggests that if God supported separation of church and state, He would not have intervened in this political matter by drowning Pharaoh's army in the sea when the government did not obey Him.
- John the Baptist and Herod: The speaker discusses how John the Baptist, a precursor to Jesus Christ, preached in the wilderness but was also directed by the Holy Spirit to confront Herod, a political ruler, about his unlawful actions. Jesus later commends John as a great prophet.
The central message conveyed is that throughout the Bible, God's servants, including prophets and disciples, interacted with secular authorities and called for righteousness within the political sphere. This suggests that the idea of a complete separation of church and state is not a biblical concept, as God expects obedience from all, regardless of their roles or titles, including politicians.
