Baptist Perspective

Our study today is a break from reviewing scriptural references of the confessions. It is an overview of the “religious right” and civil government.

 

We return today to our study of reviewing some of the scriptural references as listed in the confessions. This lesson discusses Isaiah 49:23, Deuteronomy 13:5-6 and Titus 3:1.

We interrupt our studies today to reflect somewhat concerning the Christian, the congregation of God, and the civil government in connection with the Covid-19 virus.

 

The lesson today involves the remaining verses listed by the Protestant confessions to support the congregation striving to change governmental rules and regulations and to promote a social climate under the tenets of the Bible.

 

Our lesson today is another overview as to the relevancy of our subject. Too many Christians, including ministers, have disregarded this subject too long. May the Lord awaken us before it is too late and all of our liberties and freedoms are removed from us.

Today we will briefly review our previous studies and begin to supply some history of this dichotomy regarding the Christian assembly and civil government as addressed by the Protestants and Baptists.

 

The study today continues in supplying some history of the dichotomy regarding the Christian assembly and civil government as addressed by the Protestants and Baptists.

The study today continues to supply history from the lives of Zwingli and Calvin regarding the Christian assembly and civil government as addressed by the Protestants and Baptists.

The study today continues by supplying more information concerning John Calvin and his contribution to the reformed teachings and practices regarding the civil government’s role in punishing “heretics.”

The study today turns from the time of the Reformation to the early days of the colonies of the United States of America and the struggles for religious freedom.
