There Is No Wall of Separation Between Church and State
At that great day, when the sky and earth have fled to hide themselves, they will not be authorized to appeal to Jefferson’s “wall of separation” between church and state.
In Douglas Wilson’s own words: 4 quotes from 2008 to 2023, from Heaven Misplaced: Christ’s Kingdom on Earth and Mere Christendom, each cited to the source.
At that great day, when the sky and earth have fled to hide themselves, they will not be authorized to appeal to Jefferson’s “wall of separation” between church and state. There is no wall of separation between the authority of Jesus Christ and the authority of the civil magistrate.
Every knee and every tongue includes every knee and tongue in the White House and in Congress. It includes all nine tongues on the Supreme Court and all eighteen knees. Our corrupted justices are hereby told, in the name of Jesus Christ, that they have been summoned. They answer to an authority beyond them, an authority which is far beyond them. This encompasses the General Assembly of the U.N. and the entire future of mankind.
Remember: the reason Christians still own the public square is because Jesus rose from the dead in it.
My position on this can be summarized nicely and in brief compass. It is not the case that a mere Christendom would violate anything in the First Amendment, and the second point would be that, even if it did, we need Christ more than we need Madison.
