Tolerance is Not Religious Liberty
Tolerance as a religious liberty concept cannot be found in the Bible. It signals either blind and silent acceptance of all religious beliefs, or control and coercion against those religious beliefs that are considered dangerous. In the end, neither definition of tolerance attempts to free people from the power of sin.
Should the Church Direct the State?
For over 2,500 years, no legitimate theocracy has existed on earth, and this means that God has never authorized the Christian church to govern the state.
The Foundation of Freedom
Where does human freedom, and our concept of it, come from? Is it the result of chance, the blind byproduct of unguided social and historical forces? Or is it an unalienable right bestowed by a higher power, as the writers of the Declaration of Independence suggest? The Bible states in Genesis 1:1 that God created the heaven and the earth, and profound implications about human freedom emerge from the Bible’s creation account.
