Several religious groups are recently becoming more and more vocal about what they want and expect the current Administration to do for them. This approach while criticized by many, is clearly Biblical. You just have to know where to look for the examples. You might have some trouble finding this behavior in Jesus’ life. He never seemed to care much about political power, instead choosing to meet sinners where they were and enable them to see the Truth.
However there is another group in the New Testament that did petition the legal powers to achieve their goals. They are known to us as the Sanhedrin. They are the ones who felt the need to take thier concerns to Pilate.
Mr. Dobson, Mr. Falwell and Mr. Jones are their spiritual descendants.
