Thomas Hobbes & America's Ministers

The writings of Thomas Hobbes in the 17th century reveal the presupposition of modern day ministers. They have embraced Hobbes' thinking regarding the role of salvation and our relationship to the State. In his book Leviathan, Hobbes schools the Christian that his salvation is not in jeopardy if he obeys the State regardless of what it decrees - so they should obey civil authority regardless of what it decrees. Hobbes has created a form of Christianity in America - embraced by the vast majority of ministers - that causes the ministers and Christians to sit by sipping lattes while the magistrates destroy society. Such Christians actually aid and abet the civil authorities in their evil. 46 Min. MercySeat.net
