The Bible does not explicitly mention the separation of church and state. However, some argue that the principle can be inferred from passages like Matthew 22:21 where Jesus says, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." This has been interpreted to mean that there should be a distinction between religious and governmental authority.

What does the Bible say about the relationship between church and state?

The Bible teaches that the relationship between church and state should involve respect and cooperation, but also maintain a separation of powers. In Matthew 22:21, Jesus says to "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and unto God what is God's," indicating that both institutions have their own roles and responsibilities. Romans 13:1-7 also instructs believers to obey governing authorities, as they are established by God. However, the church should not be controlled by the state, and should prioritize following God's laws above man's laws.

Does the separation of Church and state help in maintaining freedom of religion?

Today's interpretation of "separation of church and state" implies that religion of any kind cannot be involved in any governmental entity, ceremony, or action. This implies that one's religion must be limited in the life of an individual. In that sense, "freedom of religion" - that is to say, the freedom to exercise one's religion over the lives of others - is hindered.


Where does it say in the Catholic Bible that baptism can be done by sprinkling?

Roman Catholic AnswerThere is only a Bible, the Bible used by the Catholic Church is the entire New Testament and the entire Old Testament. The only thing that makes it a "Catholic" Bible is the guarantee in the front of it that it conforms to the Bible as accepted by the Church since the fourth century. And, no, nowhere in the Bible does it say anything about sprinkling for baptism.
