"Remove the dross from the silver and out comes material for the silversmith;
remove the wicked from the king's presence, and his throne will be established through righteousness."
remove the wicked from the king's presence, and his throne will be established through righteousness."
Proverbs 25:4-5
Jewish leaders like Moses, Joshua, and David established policies that allowed them to kill wicked men on the spot, insuring that their wickedness could not spread and infect the other jews.
In America however, we sought a land of the free - where men can pursue any religion or belief or lifestyle they want - so long as it does not violate laws. We allow wickedness in many forms to co-exist alongside righteousness and risk the permeation of its ways.
Now, let me clarify, I am in ABSOLUTE support of our Freedom - because, as clear from later Jewish leaders, the heart of man is deceitful - and powerful leaders will eventually use their "absolute authority" to start destroying the righteous.
Our 'religious' freedom is the only thing giving Christianity its right to openness in America. No, I am simply saying; do not be surprised that our God-founded country has been corrupted and seeped with depravity at every level. Sin is like yeast that works thru the whole batch of dough.
We are simply called to resist. . .
