James Arlandson has an extended series of articles at The American Thinker on the relationship between Christianity, Pacifism, and government. The link is to the last article, which contains pointers to the entire series. He concludes:
The kingdom of God is distinct from the kingdom of Caesar. Briefly stated, the mission of the Church, which is created by the kingdom of God, is to save souls, teach believers, and help the needy in practical ways. It was not and will never be called to bloody people with swords.
May the two kingdoms never again be fused together!
And may the Church fulfill its true mission!
I had arrived at the same conclusion a while back, and am thankful that Mr. Arlandson has a wider audience than I.
