God has delegated the authority that He gave to the king of Israel in

the days of the theocracy. The Bible teaches separation of church

and state (Matthew 22:17-22), and therefore religious liberty for all.

Earthly governments may not force the conscience or take the place

that was reserved to God alone in the theocracy of Israel. Not until

the second coming of Christ will God again establish His theocracy.

Until then, human beings must not take to themselves authority over

the conscience that God has not entrusted to them.
