Do people believe Jesus needs to partner with individual state governments to carry out God’s will and destiny for all? Whatever morality one believes, do we think the assistance and approval of U.S. politicians is required to guide one’s spiritual path to enlightenment and service?

Did Jesus work with the Romans and Jewish establishment to establish strict laws to further his ideas of service to God and others? Or did he turn over tables of money changers at the temple and later ride into town on a donkey?

I’m still learning, you tell me.
