Again... CONTEXT!! scold I clarified, at least it was my intent to expand on the blanket application of 1Cor 10:31 as did the "author" in the podcast where he jumped from logic to personal opinion, stating that since "all men" are to glorify God, the governments are bound to adopt and enforce the moral law of God and thus "glorify God", etc. My response was:

Does Scripture in any way shape or form teach that it is His purpose that "government glorify God via the appointment by whatever means of men (women?) perfectly adhere to and demand and enforce the law of God upon all others living under their rule?" I find no such pretext.
