Hegal did not create the idea of the State as the source of morality and moral order. It was the faith of ancient paganism, revived by the medieval monarchs, stressed by the Enlightenment, and then formulated by modern philosophy.
Because ideas do have consequences, the state as the moral agent has moved into health, education, and welfare, in fact into all spheres of life, as man’s hope and savior.
Adolph Hitler and National Socialism led this movement into open moral autonomy from God. Abortion, license, euthanasia, and more were approved, and National Socialism was clearly a homosexual movement. Today only its anti-Jewish actions are condemned as its other practices are adopted.
What must take place is a restoration of morality to the triune God, together with placing church and state, man and society, and all of man’s agencies, institutions, arts and science, under God’s law and authority. He alone is God
