To those who wonder, the Bible verses below may give suggestion that God doesn't really advocate merging of state and church. Included are my interpretations on those verses.

Jhn 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Jhn 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

It states that God is solely not intrested in the problems of the world. This verse backs up the truth;

Jhn 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we [are].

This verse states that the welfare of God is only concerning with Christians, and not of the world. Why should God be bothered about the world when He states Satan is clearly the prince of this world? The purpose of preaching the gospel is for non-believers to be enlightened by the Word of God, then be freed from the influence of the world then only he/she is guaranteed salvation. The world may hear God's gospel, but it is NO WAY can it obtain salvation in heaven. The preaching of the gospel is for all human beings, who are God's children fallen from His grace currently inhabiting in this world, not for the world itself.

How can the world be saved when God condemned it?

Jhn 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

Note: This post is not to be taken seriously in religious sense. But it certainly did point out the truths that I mentioned.
