seperation of church from state

To be a Christian is to be called out of the world system. To be in the world but not of it. To follow the Bible (God's Word) and not the World (the god of this world Satan.) There can only be one God, so how can you come to accept all the world's gods who do not believe that Jesus is the true son of the One and Holy God? Faith Base Initiative is just a continuation of the Ecumenical Movement started by Vatican II, 1962 by Pope John Paul 23rd. Ecumenism means to merge all religions into one as does Faith Base Initiative. This is a predominantly Catholic undertaking with GW Bush starting it in his first four years of office, entering the White House as a Cabinet Level Office. You say you are for separation of church and state but you have brought it into the White House to make a rule that to get fundings you can't proselatize, yet God's commands His followers to make all men Christians or at least hear the gospel (the good news.) Your mixing God's word with the world system and that is like trying to mix oil with water. It aint going to happen very long. You are wrong in trying to pigeon hole all religions into one. The Masons preach this. The Ecumenical Movement preaches this and now the U.S. Government is preaching it. The next thing the government will be asking is that Christians and all peoples take the Mark of the Beast if they want to buy and sell.
