With prayer.

Lol. Your marvelously cited verse says nothing about the First Amendment. Did you "feel" like it did, perhaps?
How about this, if God had appointed America's Constitutional Government, why did He forget to include so called "Freedom of Religion" and "Protection of Religion" in the original Constitution, and had to use an ammendment?
As well, God in His Word states the only His Religion is to be promoted by Christians in Unity, rather than the endless exclusionary variations, most of which are at odds with each other. That has nothing to do with God's Plan for Government
Also, do not forget yo remember that Real Christians can thrive, worship God, spread The Gospel, and serve God under the worst forms of Government. Real Christians do not need wishy washy little government laws to "protect them." Real Christians have no problem manning up under persecution and pressure. Don't you think that is great? Jesus did. He said, "Blessed are you when men shall persecute you for righteousness' sake." He never said, "Blessed are you when the Government protects you. "
Lol. This is so much fun.

You asked a question and I gave you the Biblical answer. Is there a government in America, and is there a right to practice the freedom of religion in it's founding document, and is the government of America addressed in the bible, yes.

You are regressing to early childhood, I don't debate children.
Good-by
Stegley:
Are you saying anything a Government can come up with is something God wants thrm to do?
Do not run away and say, "Good Bye" like a woman. Answer the question like a man. Where does Scripture speak of Freedom of Religion as something Christians need when Jesus specifies that to be persecuted is a "Blessed" thing? Do you not listen to Jesus?

I think you have it backwards, take a look at the sctiptures again.
If you believe God has limitations could you list them for us.
Stegley:
State with clarity how I have it backwards. I am eagerly awaiting.
Were the Founding Fathers rebelling against and killing the troops of a God ordained British government under King George? Answer this. Be intelligent upon your stated ideology of all governments being placed or allowed by God.
Don't run away, now.
