text: Regarding: "There seems to be some inane mindset that the state is the answer to all things. Love of government seems to be a main thing the Prophets were warning against."
  - True, there is no perfect solution.
  - The connecting factor is the people of God who are responsible for their church and who are among the men and women of good will who constitute the citizenship of a secular state.
  - In this sense it is reasonable that the institutional church and all of its decentralized offices are brought to account based on just civil laws.
  - Logically one would conclude that but for high crimes and immoral misdemeanors the people of God would have had no need to invoke the civil laws of secular states.
