Help with Homework

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

I would appreciate some help here! Apparently, I said that my youngest granddaughter could go to the movies with me this evening. Mrs Bathfire, who is given to imagining things, says I had promised to take her (i.e. Mrs Bathfire) to the movies this evening. As a result, a compromise was reached and Mrs Bathfire has taken Ruth to the movies. Now this looked as if to would be a quiet evening for me, until Mrs Bathfire asked if I had considered Ruth’s homework! (To be frank, I hadn’t) Under the circumstances, I had little choice but to agree to do it for her and lose more time on my latest publication, “The Words of the Bible in Alphabetical Order”.

Apparently Ruth’s school “The Fiery Cross Junior High for the Daughters of True Christians” does not accept answers like “God did it” and “It’s a Mystery”, so I am looking for your help.

Here’s the question:

Some Democrats say that the Signatories to The Declaration of Independence were not Christian, and that they disregarded the Word of God when it suited them. Rebut the following arguments:

1. Were the Signatories objecting to tax?

M't:22:17: Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
M't:22:18: But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
M't:22:19: Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
M't:22:20: And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
M't:22:21: They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
M't:22:22: When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

2. Were the Signatories objecting to the rule of George III?

Heb:13:17: Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

3. Did the Signatories think they would be better off?

Rom:2:8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.

4. Did the Signatories take power for themselves?

Galatians 5:19-21 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: […], selfish ambition, dissensions, […] and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

The sooner you send your ideas, the sooner I can get on with my project!

Re: Help with Homework

Brother Bathfire, I believe that the Democrats were trying to trick Jesus into backing their schemes for Big Government tax and spend socialism but Jesus outsmarted them. Jesus is saying let "Caesar" (Obama) have his dollars made worthless through Keynesian inflation and deficit spending, and Christians will have gold, guns, the Bible (KJV1611), capitalism and the free market.

Dear Pastor Bathfire,

Unfortunately, I must agree with these heathen Democrats that you speak about. The Declaration of Independence is a very ungodly document. I did not read it in its entirety - I only read the Bible, because if any other book is in agreement with the Bible, then it's repetitive and unnecessary, and if it goes against the Bible, then it's an abomination unworthy of reading. I have read the first couple of paragraphs of the Declaration, and it definitely falls into the second category. I mean, what kind of a Biblically accurate document would say that "all men are created equal" and that all men have equal rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness? We Christians know better than that!!

Although the Declaration did not give equal rights to women, thanks goodness, or blacks (who were considered to be 3/5 of a person anyway), still, there are plenty white men who are godless heathens unworthy of the same rights as True Christian™ men.

The Biblical quotes that you provide in your post are very informative, very true, and show that the Declaration is an ungodly and anti-Christian document.

Thanks for that. That's really helpful. It sort of says, "You want the dollars; you made the dollar worthless: Here, have nothing!"

This makes sense.

Well, that is outrageous! Next thing you'll be selling Alaska back to the Russians!

On top of that, it's not going to cut much ice with Ruth's teacher.

My thoughts entirely! Except, it can't be "ungodly." That's what the Demoncrats say and they know nothing!

This all depends on your definition of "man". The fact that some might consider a nigra to be the equivalent of a whiteman is solely down to the "Politically Correct" 14th Amendment - to all intents and purposes the same law could apply to horses without making them "man".

They aren't my quotes and they are there to be dismissed!

Get your thinking cap on! My head hurts and I have other things to do.

Pastor Bathfire, I deeply apologize. I err frequently due to my feeble female nature. Still, that document smells fishy to me. Although "men" meant exclusively white men when it was written, it insinuates that white atheists, Catholics, and similar white unsaved trash somehow hold the same rights as righteous True Christians(tm).

Well, I'm probably wrong again. I'll shut up now.
