"If God is sovereign, then it is impossible for civil government to be neutral on issues of law. All law is based in some religious code"

About this Quote

This quote by Randall Terry recommends that if God is sovereign, then civil government can not be neutral on problems of law. This is because all law is based upon some spiritual code, suggesting that it is impossible for civil government to be totally neutral on matters of law. This suggests that civil government is naturally prejudiced towards specific religions, which it is difficult for it to be totally objective. This might be seen as a criticism of civil federal government, as it recommends that it is not genuinely neutral and that it is influenced by religions. It could also be seen as a call for civil federal government to be more aware of its religious predispositions and to pursue greater impartiality.
