Subject: Pledge, "under God", WWJD? |
Bible Note: You said "the question is not what would Jesus do, the question is what should a follower of Christ do?" I say a follower of Christ looks to Him for direction, courage and strength. Accordingly, I have offered a position and biblical support for it. Regarding the "what if's", this is not about hypothetical situations, the question is real and it is before us now. We are not talking about legislating morals, we are talking about a specific challenge to a specific practice. There are many Christians who vehemently oppose even having the dialogue, let alone submitting to the authority of the State should it come to that. As for this submission, and for pledging allegiance to a nation, Jesus said to give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and give to God what belongs to God. So, if you were a Supreme Court Justice with the Constitution in one hand, and as a Christian with the Bible in the other, how would you vote and how would you justify your vote on whether "under God" shall remain in the Pledge of Allegiance?
