Religion And Liberty Are Inseparable. Religion Is

Who Touches Money Touches Dirt; And The Less Religion Has To Do With It, The Better.

The United States Furnishes The First Example In History Of A Government Deliberately Depriving Itself Of All Legislative Control Of Religion.

Religion And Liberty Are Inseparable. Religion Is Voluntary, And Cannot, And Ought Not To Be Forced. This Is A Fundamental Article Of The American Creed, Without Distinction Of Sect Or Party. Liberty, Both Civil And Religious, Is An American Instinct. Such Liberty Is Impossible On The Basis Of A Union Of Church And State, Where The One Of Necessity Restricts Or Controls The Other. It Requires A Friendly Separation, Where Each Power Is Entirely Independent In Its Own Sphere.

Calvinism Emphasizes Divine Sovereignty And Free Grace; Arminianism Emphasizes Human Responsibility. The One Restricts The Saving Grace To The Elect; The Other Extends It To All Men On The Condition Of Faith. Both Are Right In What They Assert; Both Are Wrong In What They Deny. If One Important Truth Is Pressed To The Exclusion Of Another Truth Of Equal Importance, It Becomes An Error, And Loses Its Hold Upon The Conscience. The Bible Gives Us A Theology Which Is More Human Than Calvinism And More Divine Than Arminianism, And More Christian Than Either Of Them.
