Note. The online version of God Betrayed has been edited and updated, to include some corrections. None of the conclusions have changed. Some modifications have been made to teachings on the doctrine of the church (to more correctly explain the falacy of the universal church doctrine), the duty of the individual believer (as opposed the duty of a Gentile nation) to Israel, and Internal Revenue Code Section 508 status. Also, additional false (spurious) rationale for church corporate 501c3 or 508 status have been added to Section 6. For an update on the 508 issue, one can go to the article, “Church Internal Revenue Code § 508 Tax Exempt Status.”

To totally understand all facets of the issue of separation of church and state, one must understand the following:

1. The biblical doctrine of government
2. The biblical doctrine of the church
3. The biblical doctrine of separation of church and state

These matters are explained in the first three sections of God Betrayed.

To totally understand the application of the biblical principle of separation of church and state in America, one must understand, in addition to the above, the following:

4. The history of religious freedom in America
5. Supreme Court Religion Clause Jurisprudence (What the Supreme Court has done with the Religion Clause of the First Amendment)
6. God Betrayed: Union of church and state in America

These matters are explained in the last three sections of God Betrayed.

For Jerald Finney’s message to OPBC on April 10, 2016 which dealt with his article on this conflict submitted to the Northfield News and related matters click:
Separation of church and State: The Biblical Principles and the American Application on Youtube (041016)(Click here for sermonaudio.com of this message.)

God Betrayed/Separation of Church and State: The Biblical Principles and the American Application covers all the above. For example, God Betrayed explains the full biblical context of Romans 13, a portion of which is taken out of its immediate context and overall biblical context to wrongly condone union of church and state. The first three sections of God Betrayed totally explain the biblical principle of separation of church and state and thereby disprove the false interpretation of Romans 13 which teaches that believers are to obey civil government even when those laws are contrary to the word of God. The sub-pages attached to this page are an online version of that book. These same sub-pages are also found under Contents/Books by Jerald Finney/God Betrayed/Separation of Church and State: The Biblical Principles and the American Application. This online version is and will be continuously edited to reflect the author’s continuing refinements of knowledge and insights as he continues his studies of these matters.
