More quotes by Isaac Backus
God has appointed two kinds of government in the world, which are distinct in their nature, and ought never to be confounded together one of which is called civil, the other ecclesiastical government.
Isaac Backus
Now who can hear Christ declare, that his kingdom is, not of this world, and yet believe that this blending of church and state together can be pleasing to him?
Isaac Backus
