>Yes I agree, NO MORE WAR, I am in much prayer over this one, i
think that we are going to get our foot bloody, IF NOT CUT OFF, i am
not for this at all,
AS FOR THE STATE OF MANKIND,
Yes very much of America has alot of sorry history, and will continue
until Jesus comes back, but I think that the basic principles of
what was applied 200 years ago was not just a fly-by-night, slapped
together piece of paper. It has and is the basic importance to
recieve all men as equal, no other goverment document on planet
earth. comes close to these ideals. except the bible,
What man does with it, is another matter, but it does open a area
of freedom that other countries only dream about. Yes many got here
in the bottom of a boat, and other countries did the same. Slavery
is still happening today, as long a evil men live.
Destruction of mankind and genocied is still going on too.
but in all that there are still true men of God, out there trying to
make a difference.
Even in civil war times, true men realized we must change. I say
don't destroy a Godly made written document on what man does in
history or in the future.
As long as man makes something it is temporary and will finally
fail, only when Jesus sets up his Kingdom will all come into order.
AS ASSEMBLIES, yes I have papers with them, but it sure ain't gonna
get me in heavens door, and it sure may not be the best too. But I/m
working with it and I sure not putting down other peoples faith
either. Putting all of us in the same boat (stereo typed) is not a
good idea, My family was bond slaves too,
HOW COME??? Because man is a fallen creature, with deep sin that
cannot be forgiven except through the blood of Jesus.
