This is my problem.....

I just bought a new book by Gregory A. Boyd titled "The Myth of a Christian Nation". Gregory is well educated and has written many books on the subjects of Christ and Theology.
My problem with this book is this:
1. The book has a total of 9 chapters 189 pages total. So for the most part it is a small book.

2. The subject of this book is to explain to all of us why he thinks politics and the Church shouldn't be mixed. As in the church should not indorse any political party. I agree....

3. After reading the first few chapters I got the sense he was repeating the same topics as earlier chapters.

Mr. Boyd reasoning for not supporting any political agenda is the the church cannot satisfy all scripture with only the left or the right. What I mean is, during the presidential elections one runner might support stem cell research, christians do not. So the church shouldn't.
The other runner might supports the ban on abortions. Christians dont believe in abortions. So the church should support the ban also.

Here is my point. Politicians and government groups should not argue these issues at all. They should worry about political things like budget's and such.

I could have written this book with only one small chapter, no....a paragraph, yes one paragraph.

If the people of the world would go to Gods book, All the answerers are right their! Abortions are wrong based on scripture. Therefore! nothing to debate.

Same sex marriage? Wrong by the book. Again, nothing to debate!

There you have it. Based on my faith in the lord Jesus Christ all of those questions were taken care of. Politicians need not impose on the church and the church should not look to the government to solve these problems we experience in this stage of the world.
I think if the church has to go to great lengths to prove to their congregations which one they support, they need to look at the strength of their faith!
The church need not look to anything but the book for what's right and what's wrong!
The world would be better if we all worked to be better disciples of Christ........

I feel better :-)
