The Separation Of Church And State
November 23, 2003
The words separation, church or state are not found in the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, nor in any other founding document. The entire constitutional separation of church and state is a recent fabrication of activist judges who have ignored the Constitution^s clear meaning.
Notice the wording of the Constitution:
WE THE PEOPLE of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Note that it starts with We The People not We The Judges.
Amendments To The Constitution Of The United States Of America
Bill Of Rights - Ratified effective December 15, 1791.
Article One
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
As you can read, this article clearly states that Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion and of the freedom of speech. Also, Congress is to make the laws not judges.
ARTICLE FOURTEEN
July 28, 1868
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Now notice what the Bible, the revered word of God, has to say.
Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth: Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven. He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD. Psalm 148:11-14
Judah�s leaders are like those who move boundary stones. I will pour out my wrath on them like a flood of water. Ephraim is oppressed, trampled in judgement, intent on pursuing idols. Hosea 5:10-11
The prophecies to Judah and Ephraim probably apply to the United States of America as well since America and Britain are descendents of Israel like Judah and Ephraim. The idols of Ephraim are all those things that people value more than the worship and word of God. The people are very distracted by many interests and are unconcerned with good governance.
