HERE IS A GROUP OF OUR FORFATHERS IDEAS.
OVER TIME I HAVE ANALYZED MANY OF OUR FOREFATHERS READINGS, STUDYS AND WHAT THEY RECOMMENDED TO OTHERS AS TO LAYING THE GROUND WORK FOR OUR CONSTITUTION. BELOW I WILL ADD A FEW OF THE BASICS THAT THEY HAD IN MIND FOR THE GREAT COUNTRY THAT WE CALL THE UNITED STATES. THESE PRINCIPLES THAT WILL UNDERLINE THE THE FOUNDATION OF CHRISTIANITY IN THE WAY THAT THEY SEEN BEST FOR THE COUNTRY TO GO FORWARD, BE INDEPENDENT FROM OTHER COUNTRYS FROM WHICH THEY HAD COME, SEEKING FREEDOM. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THAT THESE PRINCIBLES HAVE BEEN STRAYED FROM UNTIL OUR SENSE OF DIRECTION IS NO LONGER GOING FORWARD WITH THE PRINCIBLES THAT WAS SET FOR US TO PROSPER.
#1 A BELIEF IN GOD AND HIS PRIVIDENCE, BY WHICH HE GUIDES AND CONTROLS THE UNIVERSE AND THE AFFAIRS OF MANKIND.
#2 A BELIEF IN AND RESPECT FOR REVEALED RELIGION -- THAT IS, A RECOGNITION THAT GOD HAS REVEALED HIS TRUTH THRU THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.
#3 A BELIEF IN THE GOD-GIVEN POWER OF HUMAN REASON TO APPREHEND TRUTH. WHILE REASON DOES NOT SUPERSEDE REVELATION, IT SERVES AS AN AID IN THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH WHERE THE SCRIPTURES ARE SLIENT.
#4 A BELIEF THAT MAN IS NOT A PERFECT OR PERDICTIBLE BEING, AND THAT GOVERNMENTAL THEORIES MUST TAKE THAT FACT INTO ACCOUNT.
#5 A BELIEF THAT GOD HAS ORDAINED HUMAN GOVERNMENT TO RESTRAIN THE SINFUL NATURE OF MAN.
#6 A BELIEF THAT GOD HAS ESTABLISHED CERTAIN PHYSICAL LAWS FOR THE OPERATION OF THE UNIVERSE, AS WELL AS CERTIAN MORAL LAWS FOR THE GOVERNANCE OF MANKIND.
#7 A BELIEF THAT GOD HAS REVEALED HIS MORAL LAWS TO MAN THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES (REVEALED OR DEVINE LAW) AND THROUGH THE LAW OF NATURE, WHICH IS DISCOVERABLE THROUGH HUMAN REASON AND THE HUMAN CONSCIENCE.
#8 A BELIEF THAT HUMAN LAW MUST CORRESPOND TO THE DIVINE LAW AND THE LAW OF NATURE. HUMAN LAWS WHICH CONTRADICT THE HIGHER LAW ARE INVALID, NONBINDING, AND ARE TO BE RESISTED.
#9 A BELIEF THAT THE REVEALED LAW AND THE LAW OF NATURE FORM THE BASIS FOR THE LAW OF NATIONS (INTERNATIONAL LAW) AND THAT THIS LAW OF NATIONS INCLUDES THE RIGHT OF A NATION TO DEFEND ITSELF AGAINST AGRESSORS (JUST WARFARE).
#10 A BELIEF THAT THE REVEALED LAW AND THE LAW OF NATURE INCLUDE NATURAL, GOD GIVEN, UNALIENABLE HUMAN RIGHTS WHICH INCLUDE LIFE, LIBERTY, AND PROPERTY.
#11 A BELIEF THAT GOVERNMENTS ARE FORMED BY COVENANT OR COMPACT OF THE PEOPLE IN ORDER TO SAFEGUARD HUMAN RIGHTS.
#12 A BELIEF THAT GOVERNMENTS HAVE ONLY SUCH POWERS AS ARE DELEGRATED TO THEM BY THE PEOPLE IN THE SAID COVENANTS OR COMPACTS, AND THAT WHEN GOVERNMENTS ATTEMPT TO USURP POWERS NOT SO DELEGATED THEY BECOME ILLEGITIMATE AND ARE RESISTED.
# 13 A BELIEF THAT, HUMAN NATURE BEING WHAT IT IS, RULERS TEND TO USURP MORE AND MORE POWER IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY.
#14 A BELIEF THAT THE BEST WAY TO PREVENT GOVERNMENTS FROM USURPING POWER IS TO SEPERATE THEIR POWERS AND FUNCTIONS INTO LEGISLATIVE, EXECUTIVE AN JUDICIAL BRANCHES.
#15 A BELIEF THAT, HUMAN NATURE BEING WHAT IT IS, A FREE ENTERPRISE ECONOMY IS THE BEST WAY TO GIVE PEOPLE AN INCENTIVE TO PRODUCE AN DEVELOP PROSPERITY.
DOES OUR COUNTRY AS A WHOLE STILL ABIDE BY THOSE IDEAS, FORMATS, PRINCIBLES, RULES? HAS OUR GOERNMENT AND COUNTRY BECOME THE AGRESSORS OF WILLFUL WARFARE TOWARDS THE WORLD? BY HAVING TROOPS IN 130 COUNTRYS OF THE WORLD; I WOULD SAY-SO. HOW LONG CAN THIS COUNTRY CONTINUE ON THE SAME ROAD OF AGRESSIVENESS UNTIL ALL SIGNS OF CHRISTIANITY IS REMOVED FROM ALL PAGES IN PUBLIC AS WELL AS IN PRIVATE COLLECTIONS. AT THE RATE THAT CHRISTIANITY IS BEING REMOVED FROM PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTORS OF OUR COUNTRY, IT IS TIME TO WEIGH HEAVILY ON THE FUTURE LEADERS OF OUR COUNTRY. MORAL VALUES WITH A DEEP ROOTED CHRISTIAN BACKGROUND ARE JUST THE BEGINNING STEPPING STONES TOWARDS A MORE PEACEFUL COUNTRY TO LIVE IN.
UNTIL TOMORROW.
IN CHRIST WE TRUST.
RAY.
