I'll leave you with a few practical applications:

1. Next time a Christian minister is persecuted for preaching the gospel, don't complain that his 1st Amen. rights were violated; instead, say that such evil should not be permitted because he was commanded by Christ our King to preach the gospel, and no one has authority to hinder him.

2. Next time a Muslim is hindered from speaking for Islam, don't defend him by saying it's his right; instead confess the truth and say that God is punishing him for his blasphemy, and then pray that he repents.

We don't need to start with stoning anyone, but we can start by speaking truth one to another.
Col 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to RECONCILE ALL THINGS UNTO HIMSELF; by him, I say, whether they be things in EARTH, or things in heaven.

Do you agree with UPS or my interpretation of 1 Peter 2.13? Can you tell me interpretation?

Second, Peter is not telling us to proclaim their false doctrine, 1 amen, is biblical, or to participate in their State religion. Or do you think he is.

Chris, your absolutely correct to tie this conversation to eschatology. From the beginning of Genesis to the Revelation God promises us a victorious Church on earth. Covenanter.org has a lecture series called "Biblical Prophecy and Postmillennialism"
Under "sermons and Studies". It goes book by book showing the victory of the Church.

But i don't want anyone to think that this is my main objection in this conversation. My objective is more to change our daily conversation from "you can worship who you want, or God's giving you the right to say what you want- to - Act 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

From Tim: "And if Christ has already established His kingdom on earth, why isn’t He in Jerusalem calling the shots? Or has He moved His throne to Edinburgh?"
Tim Hebrews 2.7-8 answers your question by stating he is reigning, but we don't see it fully manifest.

Our differences in doctrine is made manifest in both the SL&C and USC. I defended the SL&C with scripture, yet no one attempted to do the same with the USC. But my theology is un-scriptural? If you think i'm wrong you need to correct me, and show me where scripture teaches the 1st Amendment.

There are two choices when it comes to my beliefs or any others - its either Scriptural or it not. So, if these beliefs are so important to me that I need to go public, then it’s the duty for the magistracy to punish me if I refuse to sit down and shut up. Say they goes so far as to kill me. Again one of two possibilities 1. I'm in hell for being a heretic and opposing God's Power (Rom 13) or I'm in heaven as a martyr.

Since everyone's a Christian it’s a moot point. The Magistrate doesn't care if your elect, only if you're building alters to Baal, violating the Lord's day, cheating on your wife, things like that. The Magistrate is concerned with the temporal, the church with the spiritual.

3. How would it be decided whether a person's views are permissible?
In history, when we see someone punished for blaspheme it is a public person who will not relent in teaching his error. Things like denying the trinity, or the divinity of Christ is obviously a punishable crime, using the Lord's name in vain. Again, the Magistrate is not the thought police nor do they hunt down people for what they say in their private conversation. These are some scare tactic people use to turn people away from a Christian Magistracy.

I have a question? Would you say Christianity is the most loving religion? If so, why wouldn't you think it's way of handle crimes and sins to be the most equitable and loving? I think we need to examine the fallacy of equivocation next.

Remember, that Jesus sent Joshua into the promise land with swords and the Apostles with the word.

What should be done with those that aren’t Christians?
By Me? Tell them the gospel?
By a Christian magistrate? Don't let them open shop on the Lord's Day or use the Media to spread blasphemes. Are you looking for anything specific.

First, there are no non-christians. Everyone who has been born since the ascension of Christ is a Christian.

Psa 2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
The Father has giving all people to Christ for his obedience unto death.

Mat 28:18-20 KJV - All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Jesus as King of all (which makes everyone a citizen of Christ's kingdom, ie a Christian) is telling his warrior to go into the nations and take control of them for Him. Had he not the authority to do so, Jesus would be commanding a grievous sin. Baptist might balk at this language but it true to the text. Ruler understand to really dominate a people is not to enslave them, or tax them, it's to make them disciples. But we can't forget 3 things, Jesus is God so he has ample right, his law is an expression of love, and he comes with the power of salvation.

Christians do need teachers and confessions and catechisms. Despising the hard work of the godly from the past is something you must have been taught because it is an unnatural feeling. its natural to have great love and gratitude to our father for their hard work and blessing that they pass on to us. While there is much the Holy Spirit has taught me directly, there is much more that he taught me through men. He wouldn't have given us teachers had we not needed them.

UPS. i didn't mean to say that you needed a government proclamation, but based on your belief of the 1st amen. you should be outraged that the Government should be so bold as to stick their nose in religious matters. The Gov. tell you when to worship the dead (Memorial day etc) when to do covenant renewals (the 4th) Even so bold to get so personal as to tell you when to celebrate your mother and father. I don't think you have a problem with a national church, only one that has Christ as the head!

Fourth Test Again:

Psa 2:11-12 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

SL&C Preface:
We, noblemen, barons, knights, gentlemen, citizens, burgesses, ministers of the Gospel… having before our eyes … the advancement of the kingdom of our Lord and Saviour JESUS
CHRIST

Does the SL&C pass the test? Yes!
Can some show the USC passing the test?

Fifth Test:

It is God who is master of providence. Heb 1:3; Psa 93:1; Eph 1:11

SL&C Preface:
… by the providence of GOD…

Fourth Test
Isa 49:22-23 Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

Kings are to Protect and help the Bride of Christ.

First clause of the SL&C:
THE SOLEMN LEAGUE AND COVENANT, for reformation and defence of religion…

Second test: We are to contend for the faith Jude 3; We are not to participate in evil, but reproof them Eph 5.11, We are to cast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God 2 cor. 10.5.

Article 2 of the SL&C states:

That we shall, in like manner, without respect of persons, endeavour the extirpation of Popery, Prelacy, superstition, heresy, schism, profaneness, and whatsoever shall be found contrary to sound doctrine and the power of Godliness...

The Westminster Larger Catechism states:
Q. 1. What is the chief and highest end of man?
A. Man's chief and highest end is to glorify God, and fully to enjoy him forever.

Does the SL&C do this glorify God?

...being of one reformed religion, having before our eyes the glory of God, and the advancement of the kingdom of our Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST...

First, who argues that corporate entities like companies and nations are not moral persons. Do they not have confession (ie Constitutions) do they not get sued for wrong doing, don't they get punished for mistakes as a body. Does not God punish Israel as a nation. Of course corporate bodies are considered moral persons- who would be so bold to deny such a well established fact.

1.it applies to all the dominions of the King, which includes America.

2.Because lawful oaths cannot be annulled. We can add to a lawful constitution but not take away. And therefore this national covenant is still binding. See WCF Chapter 22 on oaths. Also since the Westminster Standards have been codified in both State and Church to reject them is to both reject the true teaching of the Bible and the authority of the Church.

Regarding your 3rd point. God created Civil Government and is therefore to have God's glory and the well being of the Church its primary focus. The fact that: "I believe the 1st amendment was not created to be a teaching instrument for God's word nor have I heard anyone assert it to be" only declares its corruption and rebellion to God. Our warfare is spiritual and the 1st amendment is spiritual warfare against God therefore we are commanded to cast it down. (Eph. 6:12; 2 Cor. 10.5)

Rom 13 tells us that Gov. is to punish evil doer and encourage those that do well. The 1st amendment creates a culture that does the exact opposite. It protects all sort of evil to the determent of the true church.
