Sounds like another tough one....
sinful nature is always hostile to God....
You seem to have lost your focus and fail to recognize that the bible was written by MEN. Fallible men with fears, phobias, and agendas.
Many of the 'accounts' of events were written centuries after the event, indicating it was verbal folklore, told time and time again, each time with details added or dropped, until someone finally wrote it down. Retelling stories always alters the story, even when it is retold immediately, spread out over centuries and generations with details forgotten and added, plus human nature to "embellish", I wonder if a witness to an event would even recognize the written version. Not to mention how many times it has been translated from one language to another, and by whom? Don't know exactly what that word means, make something up that they think 'fits'.
The bible is the very suspect work of man, full of contradictions, embellishments, errors in translation, and to give it anymore credence than Aesop's Fables, is frankly absurd.
Sure some stories match up (kinda) with other historical works, but even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then.
Odd, I don't remember a mention of God or Christianity in the Constitution, and nary a mention of the Christian god in the Declaration either.
Nor where they pledged anything to anyone other than each other in the Declaration of Independence...
We, the people of the State of Ohio, grateful to Almighty God for our freedom, to secure its blessings and promote our common welfare, do establish this Constitution.
Farmhood said:It is truely[sic] shameful that our founding documents are an insult to you Sir...and The Christ they pledged their allegiance to...
My question to the non-believers in Jesus, is, will you submit to the Anti-Christ and that will probably be the Mahdi and the Islamics, or will you be beheaded and face Hell? Either way it's a lose-lose situation for you. Your only choice is Jesus, The Anti-Christ, or Hell. What will you do? What will you do?
Folks, this is what the smart people call a "logical fallacy"; specifically the "false dilemma". It happens when only two (or a limited number of) options are presented when more options are viable. In this case it's presented as 'either this or that'.
What will I do?
Since there is no mythical sky monster called the anti-Christ and there is no Hell, they are figments of primitive imagination.
So, it's simple. I won't submit to any of the mythical creatures and any fanatical religious zealots of any stripe (Muslim, Christian, or Hindu) is going to find out what the term 'sucking chest wound' means.
So you're saying our "founding documents" [plural] for the United States aren't the Constitution and Declaration of Independence (c.1776)titution of Ohio [singular] in 1803?
I guess we were godless until Ohio came along, right?
Or, is it that Ohioans are the only ones "right with god"?
God is using the nations of Islam as pawns to bring about the treaty that will begin the 7 years of the Tribulation, aka the Time of Jacobs Trouble & the 70 th Week of Daniel. Believing God, the inner ring of nations surrounding ISRAEL will "VERY SOON" be totally devastated in the Psalm 83 war to encompass the total destruction of Damascus of Isaiah 17, then all but 1/6 th of the invaders (outer ring of nations) of Ezekiel 38-39 will be killed. Be assured that there won't be enough of Islam left to be a threat to anyone. In the Book of Revelation there is no mention of anything to do with Islam, period. Do not add, subtract, or speculate. Don't let anyone tickle your ears, God means what He says and says what He means. In John 5:43 Jesus says, pertaining to ISRAEL ..."I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him". ISRAEL will accept the antichrist until he desecrates the new rebuilt temple. ISRAEL will by no means accept the antichrist as the Messiah if he is anything even close to being ISLAMIC!My question to the non-believers in Jesus, is, will you submit to the Anti-Christ and that will probably be the Mahdi and the Islamics
Yes they are...but it is amazing that I can read what I speak of and you clearly deny it.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Thank you sir, for proving my point that the Christian God does not exist in the Constitution, please let me know to what address you want me to send my remittance for your hard work and support of my position.Yes they are...but it is amazing that I can read what I speak of and you clearly deny it.
