It seems you have trouble identifying what is on topic. That is my response to what you posted. I cannot help it if you do not like the response. This mythical "confusion" is a false liberal argument that has no substance. This country was founded on biblical principles. It was not the secular that you claim. Nor do I hold that government must be secular. For that excludes God in all its endeavors and I will not.
Read the OP and see if it is about being liberal or conservative or if it is about being Christian and the dangers of Nationalism.
In fact, to help .... here is the quote, from the 1934 meeting, from the OP:
We Baptists are convinced that the Church of Jesus Christ can never be a tool for nationalistic endeavours without losing her power and denying her mission to the world; that any sort of dependency on the State, which restricts her freedom to exercise love in the world, represents a real danger for the church and reduces her opportunities to carry the gospel to the ends of the world.
N.J. Nordström, Report from the BWA Commission on ‘Nationalism’, BWA Fifth
World Congress, BWA Archive, Valley Forge, Pa.
You see it is not about being conservative or liberal, but about the danger that Nationalsim presents to the Christian church and its people. After all many fundamentalists say the US government poses a danger to Christians and to Christianity. Do you agree with this widely held belief?
I would appreciate it if everone would stay on topic.
