Also, in a deeper sense, the Ten Commandments are the basis of our freedom of conscience, which flows from the first table of the law.

***********************************
And government's only role is to secure our rights for us.

***********************************
And indeed, it is the right of the states to acknowledge God, as it is the right of the federal government to acknowledge its source of power.

***********************************
And that's not only true with this judge, but also with many of the federal courts across our land who seem to think, erroneously, that the acknowledgement of God is synonymous with religion.

************************************
Anytime you deny the acknowledgement of God you are undermining the entire basis for which our country exists.

*************************************
Because, if there is no God, then man's power is the controlling aspect, and therefore power will be centralized.

*************************************
But separation of church and state was never meant to separate God and government.

*************************************
But today, government is taking those rights from us, pretending that it gives us our rights. Indeed, those rights come from God, and it was recognized throughout our history as such.

**************************************
I would say that there's not much difference these days between those who run under one party or another because they're all after seeking power.

**************************************
If God gives you rights, no man and no government can take them away from you.

****************************
It can have a secular purpose and have a relationship to God because God was presumed to be both over the state and the church, and separation of church and state was never meant to separate God from government.

**********************************
It is altogether proper for people to recognize a sovereign God.

**********************************
It would bother me if a judge told me how I had to believe.

No, because this country was not founded upon the Qur'an. It was not founded upon a Muslim faith. It was founded upon a Christian faith and the acknowledgement of God of the holy scriptures.

****************************************
Rights come from God, not from government.

****************************************
The acknowledgement of God was the very reason for the existence of this country.

****************************************
The basic premise of the Constitution was a separation of powers and a system of checks and balances because man was perceived as a fallen creature and would always yearn for more power.

*******************************************
The Commandments were placed in the court to acknowledge the moral foundation of our law and the foundation of our government.

*******************************************
The whole basis of the Constitution was a restriction of power, and the whole basis of the federalist system was that there was not one sovereign centralized power from which all authority flows.

**********************************
They don't want to be reminded that there is an authority higher than the authority of the state.

To do my duty, I must obey God.

************************************************
To fail to recognize who that God is is not only illogical and ridiculous, it is also detrimental to the court system.

We are asserting exactly the opposite, that the state must acknowledge God and that our freedoms flow from that God, the Judeo-Christian God.

It is a measure of the framers' fear that a passing majority might find it expedient to compromise 4th Amendment values that these values were embodied in the Constitution itself.

Government as Punishment....

The intent of God was to have mankind serve Him

and Him alone. When the Israelites desired to be as

the other people(s) that were around them, it angered God.

In response God gave them government. And mankind has paid for

that grievous error ever since!

Such as in the sham government that is in power this present day.

The day of True Justice, by an Everlasting Governor that is

Truth Himself, is soon to arrive however!

Thank God!

The evidence keeps coming....

To prohibit a citizen from wearing or carrying a war arm . . . is an unwarranted restriction upon the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of constitutional privilege.

Alabama: Mayor praises man for using gun

Source: WSFA News
"Despite recent criticism, Montgomery Mayor Bobby Bright says he still recommends that citizens fight back against crime with guns. And it appears that at least one man is following the mayor's advice. Police say the man was moving his belongings from one vehicle to another Thursday night when two other men approached him. That's when the man went for his gun. Several shots were fired. And in the end, the man got shot twice in the thigh. But the mayor says by getting his gun, the man did the right thing. 'I want to thank him and encourage him and others to continue their fight for their protection and the protection of others,' Mayor Bright said."

(11/06/05)

It NEVER was....

It NEVER was nor will it EVER be the INTENTION of God, that mankind place themselves under the rule and dictates of ANY OTHER than God himself!

The Proof of the Intent of our Founders is irrefutable...

The matter of what the intention was, of our Founders of the U.S.A., is beyond dispute. It cannot be argued. Just as the FACT of the existence of God is beyond dispute. Regardless of what people may or may not believe, the existence of God is a FACT. I am a person that has heard Him and has experienced His workings in my own life. I KNOW He exists.
By all medical explanation, I should not be alive. I've been shot, stabbed, driven off a cliff in a truck and was beaten into a coma. In the which, I died THREE times. All my major organs failed. The medical doctor over my case told me that he didn't believe in God, until he encountered me. He said there was no way in medical terms that I should be alive. That there HAD TO BE SOME OUTSIDE, (I prefer that it was an 'inside' job), DIVINE INFLUENCE.
By no means do I claim to be 'special' or a 'saint', far from it. For, if I truly received my 'just reward' I'd probably be shoveling coal in the fires of hell! For we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Whether in thought, word or deed. However the depth of His Mercy and Grace has raised me out of the 'fiery pit' that I put myself into. For this I owe Him my life. For it is no longer my own to live.
Even after receiving His undeserved favor and mercy, I have not always 'did the best that I can do'. But have been led away by my own 'lusts' or those from the tempter on many occasions. In no way do I hold myself out as being 'perfect' or 'worthy'.
What I have been led to share is that God is indeed alive and that His Word is Truth. With this knowledge I have been compelled to say to my fellowman - Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand! One of my distant relatives was Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, who at one time stated that God was 'dead'. I am here to insist that God is not 'dead', but very much alive and VERY ANGRY! And that He has every right to be very angry indeed!
The Founders of the U.S.A. started this country with Christian principles and gave Him glory and credit for His Aid that was given. Steadily, over a period of years, the Faith of our Founders has been perversely cast aside and separated from government affairs. The Proofs, outlined in this blog, disprove the 'modern' assertion of the meaning of 'Separation of Church and State'. The clear Intent of the Founders has been systematically destroyed by perversion in our government. This, and other perversions carried out by those in government and society as a whole, can be called nothing other than pure unadulterated EVIL.
What I an contending is nothing new. There are many that are aware and are actively trying to fight the perversions that are so rampant in our government and society as a whole. What I am attempting to do is ring the warning bell, at such a level, that it cannot be ignored. It is my contention that if we, as a whole people, do not earnestly repent - the whole people will suffer the consequences. There are many examples, throughout history, of what happens when a society is in moral and spiritual decline. Many times the result is the complete destruction of the offending society.
God has a forgiving Spirit if one is remorseful and repents of ones wrong doings. And strives to do better. For to err is human, to forgive is Divine. We ALL make mistakes. Some learn quickly and do not continue making the same mistakes. Others, such as myself, can be a little dense and will continue until the pain makes it expedient to not continue on in error. My awakening was quite harsh and brutal in nature. And I can witness that it is not in anyone's best interest to go through a similar mode of correction. It has been twenty years since my awakening and I still have physical, emotional and mental scars as reminders.
Which is one of the main reasons that I am pressing so hard for a return to the morals of the Original Intent of our Founders. If we continue on in the 'status quo' we and our children will surely be brought to disaster. From which, we shall not recover. It will make all fame, wealth, power and everything else totally meaningless. New Orleans was just a 'preview' of coming attractions.
Honestly consider - how many Sodoms' and Gomorrahs' are readily apparent in the present day U.S.A.? Many in science are now proving that the Bible is true. Rather than perversely attempting to disprove it, as science has for decades. Does anyone remember what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah? Jesus indicated that it would be worse than that for those who had knowledge yet continued on in wrong doing. How can we possibly hope to escape the wrath of God in consideration of the moral state of our nation? The State of our Union is despicable! We are in a state of immoral slavery! For which we are in need of another abolitionist movement!
Those that try to impose their illegal and immoral views and designs on the rest of society must be put in their place! If they don't like it, they are welcome to leave! Or, get in line with the principles as they are intended! That is the stance our Founders took! And we need to return to standing on principles or all will be lost!

Further proof....

Far from being rivals or enemies, religion and law are twin sisters, friends, and mutual assistants. Indeed, these two sciences run into each other. The divine law, as discovered by reason and the moral sense, forms an essential part of both.

Public utility pleads most forcibly for the general distribution of the Holy Scriptures. The doctrine they preach, the obligations they impose, the punishment they threaten, the rewards they promise, the stamp and image of divinity they bear, which produces a conviction of their truths, can alone secure to society, order and peace, and to our courts of justice and constitutions of government, purity, stability and usefulness.

" It has been the error of the schools to teach astronomy, and all the other sciences, and subjects of natural philosophy, as accomplishments only; whereas they should be taught theologically, or with reference to the Being who is the author of them: for all the principles of science are of divine origin. Man cannot make, or invent, or contrive principles: he can only discover them; and he ought to look through the discovery to the Author."

"The evil that has resulted from the error of the schools, in teaching natural philosophy as an accomplishment only, has been that of generating in the pupils a species of atheism. Instead of looking through the works of creation to the Creator himself, they stop short, and employ the knowledge they acquire to create doubts of his existence. They labour with studied ingenuity to ascribe every thing they behold to innate properties of matter, and jump over all the rest by saying, that matter is eternal."

"Although guided by our excellent Constitution in the discharge of official duties, and actuated, through the whole course of my public life, solely by a wish to promote the best interests of our country; yet, without the beneficial interposition of the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, we could not have reached the distinguished situation which we have attained with such unprecedented rapidity. To HIM, therefore, should we bow with gratitude and reverence, and endeavor to merit a continuance of HIS special favors".
(1797 letter to John Adams)

" The duties of men are summarily comprised in the Ten Commandments, consisting of two tables; one comprehending the duties which we owe immediately to God - the other, the duties we owe to our fellow men."

"In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed...No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people."
(1828, in the preface to American Dictionary of the English Language)

Let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers just men who will rule in the fear of God (Exodus 18:21). . . . If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted . . . If our government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws.
Noah Webster, The History of the United States (New Haven: Durrie and Peck, 1832), pp. 336-337, 49

In light of the above quotations, it is my contention that the 1947 Supreme Court made not only a greivous error in Judgement, but by the perversion of the 1st Amendment, there is a CONSPIRACY by the Court to effect the Destruction of The United States of America! How can it be considered ANYTHING else? There was deliberate and total disregard for precedence! And the proofs of the validity of the aforementioned quotations are quite evident! Consider the continual decline in the moral, Spiritual and social values in our country since the 1947 decision! It is beyond dispute! The Justices that made that decision, (1947), were in fact TRAITORS to our country and the beleives and values held by the MAJORITY of the people in our country. As well as by the Founders of the United States of America! The adverse decision is plainly corrupt, perverse and Treasonous! AND MUST BE OVERTURNED!
