Was the Constitution of the United States divinely inspired? -
10-10-2010, 06:01 PM
Given that the Founding Fathers of America were some of the greatest Christians to have ever lived (Paine, Jefferson, etc), I wonder if the Constitution was divinely inspired? What do the American True Christians have to say about this?

Hi, TB!
There are many God-mockers who deny that Christianity had anything to do with the Constitution. They say there is not a single reference to Christianity, God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit within its text, and that in fact the only references to religion are to forbid a religious test of office or government's involvement in religion.
Some people go so far as to say that the form of government set up under the Constitution isn't Christian, since the Bible speaks only of Christ's Kingdom, which is a monarchy. They think that a Christian Constitution would have established a Christian theocracy, with its primary goal to be saving souls for Jesus.
But, let's take a closer look.
First, there are Ten Amendments in the Bill of Rights. Do you think that number is random? Of course not! It's pattered after the Ten Commandments!
Second, there's freedom of religion. While this may be seen as anti-Christian, by not establishing a Christian state, it's actually a safeguard against Islamification or the Jewish invasion or the Catholics. It is there to allow we Christians to practice our faith until we have sufficient numbers to establish a True Christian Nation.
What more do you need?

" . . . endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights . . ."
God established America! It says so right there! And He didn't want us to let any aliens in.
Some people are so thick.

Sister, that's an excellent point, but as any God-mocker will tell you, that's in the Declaration of Independence, which was written by Deist Thomas Jefferson.
They'll say he was referring to Oprah's Amorphous Blob God/Goddess thing, even though we all k now that whether HE thought so or not, he meant God!

Oh, it wasn't the Constitution? But didn't it come first, kinda like the opening credits to the Constitution?
When all that stuff was being written, don't you think God was sharing ideas with all of them? Isn't it sort of the same thing?
I mean, there are a lot of different books in the Bible, but they all are the Word of God. So aren't the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution together sort of the Word of God for the Forming of America?
Just wondering, because I don't know a lot of history. Or math.
Questioningly Yours,

My pastor once explained to me that "freedom of religion" was actually intended to mean "freedom to practice under any Christian denomination" (that is, actual Christian denominations like Baptism, Pentecostal, etc, not mockery like Jehova's Witnesses or Mormons or Catholics) and that allowing Atheists, Mudslimes and Kikes in under it was due to political pressure.

It sounds like you have a wise pastor, TB!
Has he recommended that you cut your hair?
1 Corinthians 11:14
Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

I asked my pastor about it, and according to him that verse referred to growing your hair out for the purpose of appearing feminine. Long hair was on the other hand considered beautiful in many Old Testament societies, and scriptural support can be found for this:
Quote:
2 Samuel 14:25-26 (King James Version)
25But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
26And when he polled his head, (for it was at every year's end that he polled it: because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled it he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight.
|
Note that the polling of the hair is due to the fact that it was too heavy, not because it was considered effeminate or offensive.

So what. Sodomy was considered a fine way to pass the time in many Old Testament societies as well. That doesn't mean it was alright with God!
Your pastor is just coming up with reasons to violate God's Law.
And it doesn't matter what God's reasons for making His Laws are. It just matters what they are.

They got slavery right, but the constitution really just subverts God's authority in my opinion.
We should scrap it and use the KJV Bible as the law of the land.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

In that case, given your photo, I ask again whether your pastor recommended you cut your hair.
There's a reason people assume you're a girl.

My pastor told me to embrace my God-given beauty, and I followed his advice.

Does your pastor touch you in certain ways in public, but different ways in private?

The closest I've come to touching him has been holding the same KJV1611 in prayer.
