By attempting to stand straddle between the secular means of governance, by it’s nature a thing rank with expedient means, measures, and goals, and the church’s work as the body of Christ, inherently not given to expedience, the leadership of the church is only setting up both the work of the church and the life of the nation for a grand fall by means of their own providing. By their pretence to righteousness, the church as a body is actually distancing itself, as well as the unsaved, from the done-deed of redemption and the need of humans to avail themselves thereto.
