Constitution Mythbusters

Constitution Mythbusters



Posted: 15 Feb 2013 07:27 AM PST
A recent article in GodFather Politics bemoans President Obama’s Islamic sympathies and recent actions in an article entitled, “State Dept. Recruits Jihadists to Join Foreign Service.”
In what can only be described as a mind-boggling policy move, the State Department recruited Muslim participants at a conference sponsored by groups with ties to radical Islamists to become members of its foreign service.
This Administration’s blind trust of radical Islamists has led to the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Libya and elsewhere … Much has been written, outside the mainstream media, about the infiltration of the Obama Administration by the Muslim Brotherhood, particularly at the State Department, where Clinton’s top aide had undisputed family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.  With the White House delivering F-16s to the radicals in charge of Egypt even as it tries to disarm Americans, it’s clear the wolves are in charge of the hen house.
BLOG comments call on Congress to “do something,” evidence of a prevailing Christian conservative MYTH:  that government is able to police and somehow purge Islamic influences because America “was founded as a Christian nation.”
MythBusters conclusion:  Congress can do nothing.  This report is very disturbing, but it should be no surprise and is the inevitable outcome of the Constitution’s pluralistic First Amendment.  Congress hands are tied because the First Amendment forbids it from interfering with the “free exercise” of religion.” Islam, Taoism, witchcraft and virtually any other religion are all perfectly acceptable under our godless Constitution.
The First Amendment is a direct violation of the First Commandment: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”  The United States Constitution directly contradicts Biblical law on this and at least 75 other points and is thus in direct competition with the God of the Bible.
If we were functioning as a Christian nation the right to hold public office would be contingent on an oath-bound covenant to govern by the law of God.  God’s perfect “law of liberty”  (James 1:25; 2:12) is the only source of true justice.  All competing law codes, including Sharia, Talmudic and atheistic humanism, are tyrannical and would be banned.
But again Article VI (par. 3) of the U.S. Constitution forbids any such religious test oath in direct contradiction to the Bible:  “No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”
The Bible is full of such religious test oaths.  One good example is Ex. 24:3 where “Moses came and recounted to the people all the words of the Lord and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, ‘All the words which the Lord has spoken we will do!’”
Many of the anti-Federalists understood this from the beginning, but most American Christians still don’t have a clue.   “An anti-Federalist in North Carolina wrote:  ‘The exclusion of religious tests is by many thought dangerous and impolitic….Pagans, Deists and Mahometans might obtain office among us.’ For another North Carolinian, David Caldwell, the prohibition of religious tests ‘constituted an invitation for Jews and Pagans of every kind to come among us’” (Isaac Kramnick, The New York Times, 1994).
All proposed laws would be tied directly to the Bible in a Christian nation.  The Massachusetts Body of Liberties did exactly that.  Numerous death penalty provisions of its penal code quote chapter and verse from the Pentateuch for their authority.

But God’s law is considered too harsh for the ears of modern Christians, let alone modern humanists.  So they invent theologies to dismiss its abiding validity.  In the New Testament we are supposedly no longer under the law.  True for justification, but absolutely false for sanctification, both individual and political.
God’s law is and always has been the standard for righteousness and that fact should delight the heart of every Christian (see Ps 19 & Ps 119).  If God’s law encoded in Exodus 20-23 does not delight your heart, then its time for a theology-check.
At least some of the anti-Federalists understood this. They were the true American patriots for resisting the godless U.S. Constitution.  The Federalists were false patriots.  Our founding Federalists sowed the wind of Biblical antinomianism and now we their posterity are reaping the whirlwind.
The Constitution and Declaration of Independence are like Jeroboam’s two golden calves, set up to replace the worship of Jehovah and substitute a man-made law.  Why didn’t God’s people recognize and repudiate those golden idols?  For the same reason Christians today don’t recognize and repudiate the Constitution and Declaration for the idols they are.
We must recognize them for what they are and repent to God by formally renouncing the godless U.S Constitution as individuals and churches.  It is our only hope.  Calling for a return to these documents is like a dog returning to its vomit.
Case Closed:  If we refuse to judge these idols, God will continue to judge us by means of them.  God will inexorably break the back of any nation that formally rejects His law in a document such as the U.S. Constitution.
Obama and Islam are the modern day Babylonians, God has sent this foreign invader to judge His lawless people.  Like Israel of old Christian conservatives insist on railing against and resisting God’s rod of discipline without first returning to His law.  They demand their supposed inalienable rights at the same time rejecting His law and their responsibility thereto.
The only relief will come with formal repentance from our covenant-breaking founding documents.  America was founded as an allegedly neutral, and thus anti-Christian nation in 1787.  Jesus said he who is not for me is against me.  Christians need to repent of that rebellious act immediately in formal ceremonies of repudiation, repentance and return to the law of God.
A good first step would be to sign the “Confession of Guilt and Petition for Forgiveness in the Matter of Our Forefathers’ Ratification of the United States Constitution”.  Study the material on that site and our HistoryMythBusters main site.

This article misrepresent God's laws and their proper place and application.

The Ten Commandments are God's law for us, individually, at all times. They cannot be enforced as the 'law of the land' where they detail our relationship with God--we are NOT a theocracy, and cannot be one.

The writers of the First Amendment understood the realities of this better than the writer of this article. The writer of this article complains that God's commands to a THEOCRATIC nation are not enforced today. They cannot be--there is NO theocratic government on earth.

The extreme misrepresentation in this article is very dangerous, false, and unacceptable. A government based on a constitutional republic is the best it can be in a sinful world while not being a theocracy, and while allowing religious freedom for others which you want for yourself.

Does this system have problems? Of course it does. All earthly systems have fatal flaws--in large part because they are inhabited by wicked human beings. The ONLY perfect government we can look forward to is the one Jesus Christ will set up in the recreated earth at the end of the millennium, as John the Revelator describes in the Bible.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Our forefathers knew exactly what they were doing when they created the First Amendment. This amendment has been perverted as with everything else in our society. It is not for government to decide which religion people should adhere to. Almighty God gave us Free Will to decide this for ourself and it is the First Amendment that protects that Free Will.

Separation of church and state is not in the First Amendment,everyone needs to read it again, it says the government cannot "interfer" with peoples right to practice their
religion, but the intent was perverted for a purpose and the people because of their own sin nature allowed this perversion so they could satify the flesh without conviction from God's Law.

There are so many quotes from our forefathers quoting Almighty God, Christ Jesus, and the Bible but few choose to listen to them and see clearly what our Republic was built on, Biblical Principle and virtue which is the voluntary acceptance of truth.

It is this voluntary acceptance of TRUTH that made the differnce in this nation and the reason people left their countries to come to America. Everyone has the right to practice their faith according to their conscious, EVERYONE....Muslim and Christian...and others. The problem enters when one person wants to FORCE their belief on another. If Americans had not abandoned their first love and stayed true to what is really important in life we would not be over-come by evil that is rampant.

It is not up to the government to tell people what to think or believe, it is up to the people to tell government to "do your job as I direct you to do, and leave my faith to me"...then prosecute those according to the law of land that by free choice decide to leave a victim in their wake from not allowing
godly principles from love guide them.

The problem is not if a Muslim or Islam is
practiced in high places, but rather the fact that our Constitution and Bill of Rights are not being adhered to. If they were it wouldn't matter what faith a person chose, because then
our Bill of Rights would assure the freedom and continued liberty that is afforded us by our Creator and individual religion would NOT be a threat. Help Restore our De Jure Republic and many of these issues will be corrected!!<><

I totally agree and could not have stated it better myself. God's Law is between you and God. The relationship is between you and Him.

Each that have the ears to hear and eyes to see will. All are to have free will and judgement is not yours but His.

Our government is NOT to be the referee between us and Him.

As for civil law..... Common Law is a God Law Model. The problem is we do not operate under Common Law any longer (which was the Founders plan).
