Liberals are always making the erroneous claim the Constitution of the United States is NOT based on the Bible. Today I’d like to put this neo-liberal myth to rest by presenting the following proofs.
1. Money
This proof is all around us. We all use money every day. “In God we trust” has been printed on our coins since 1864 and on bills since 1957. It became our national motto in 1956. This proves that the Constitution, written in 1787, is based on the Bible.
Money retrospectively proves the Constitution is based on the Bible because it mentions God (Genesis 1:1) and suggests all Americans trust in Him
2. Pledge of Allegiance
Written in 1892, the Pledge of Allegiance contains the phrase “one nation under God,” added in 1954.
3. Holy Trinity Church v. United States
In 1892 the Supreme Court declared: “We are a Christian people, and the morality of the country is deeply engrafted upon Christianity.” This was back when the Supreme Court made reliable decisions, before it was overrun with liberals.
4. Declaration of Independence
A completely different document written over a decade before the Constitution states: “All men are created equal . . . they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.” Now the Bible isn’t big on equality. Certainly some men are more endowed than others.
First Peter 2:18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
The Bible is, however, big on the Creator (Isaiah 40:28). The Declaration prospectively proves the Constitution is based on the Bible.
5. The Date
The Constitution closes with the words:
Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven . . .
Article 1, Section 7 reads:
If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it . . .
Exodus 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exodus 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exodus 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
It should be noted that just because the Constitution mentions Sunday does not mean it is based on a pagan sun-worshipping religion. The framers were simply using the calendar of the culture of their time, which contained vestiges of antiquated religions.
7. Three Branches of Government
The Constitution divides the government into three branches. This idea comes straight from the Bible.
Isaiah 33:22 For the Lord is our judge, (Judicial)
the Lord is our lawgiver, (Legislative)
the Lord is our king; (Executive)
he will save us.
God fulfils all three roles of government in one, so the Framers thought it would be a good idea to break the government of the United States down into separate branches. Their decision was in no way influenced by unbelieving philosophers like Montesquieu or Aristotle.
8. Conclusion
The defense rests.
