And so, you do not believe in keeping government out of
establishments of religion. The founders of this nation put that in the
constitution in order to prevent an official state religion. "Christians"
were murdering them for their desire to obey the Bible over the doctrines of men
being enforced by government.
If you want to practice the Catholic holiday,
Christmas, you are not prohibited from doing so in this country. If
you want to practice the "third" commandment, the Catholic Sabbath, Sunday,
in this country, you may do so. The minute that government is used to
enforce "Christian" antichrist practices upon others, the courts have
stepped in to prevent it. Thank God.
The spirit of antichrist comes out of the
church:
1JO 2:18 Little children, it
is the last time: and as ye have heard
that
antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists;
whereby
we
know that it is the last time.
1JO 2:19
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they
had
been
of us, they would [no doubt] have continued with us: but
[they
went
out], that they might be made manifest that they were not
all
of
us.
The United States does not prohibit you from keeping all
10 of God's commandments, no matter how you number them, with a Catholic or
Protestant interpretation when you delineate the numbers. Posting the 10
commandments as a religious icon, by those who do not want to keep them anyway,
or by some who only want to keep nine, is prohibited. Posting them as the
basis of Anglo-Saxon law, the Common Law of England, is allowed.
The ONLY "great" king of England codified the English
Common Law by copying the OT scriptures for England. He is known as
Alfred the Great.
MAT 5:19 {Whosoever therefore shall
break one of these least
commandments,
and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the
kingdom
of
heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same
shall
be
called great in the kingdom of heaven.}
The basis of all Anglo-Saxon law is the
whole Bible. Men have altered it, as King Alfred did, and have sought
to change it to conform to mercantile law. The laws of commerce,
merchantile law, the law of the seas, is at variance with the law of God
because it is based upon debt, usury, and bondage. Biblical law provides
release from such bondage when it is practiced. It is based
upon property ownership, unlike our debt ridden monetary system of
today. It is the perfect law of liberty.
When one of the ancestors to my children, Patrick
Henry, said, "Give me liberty or give my death," he was protesting the
enforcement of mercantile law through English taxation schemes in order that he
might be free to obey the perfect law of liberty, the scriptures.
JAM 1:25 But whoso looketh into
the perfect law of liberty, and
continueth
[therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the
work,
this
man shall be blessed in his deed.

Cheerful Winter Season

WHEN CHRISTMAS BECOMES ILLEGAL
Merry Christmas everyone!
Oops, did I say
Christmas? I meant to wish you Happy Holidays or a Cheerful Winter Season.
Christmas, you see, contains that dirty little word ...
Christ.
If you don't believe me, just ask the veteran first-grade
teacher who was informed this week that she could not mention the word
"Christmas" in her Sacramento public school classroom.
Imagine
that. Christmas banned in a public school classroom. This interdiction is
actually quite predictable because the word Christmas and the concept of a
holiday bearing the name of Christ contradicts the situational ethics that
pervades many public school classrooms. If there is no true right and wrong,
there must not be a notion of a Savior or the need of a
Savior.
However, such a ban is nothing less than religious
persecution. In order to promote "diversity," these types of policies
actually target individual for their beliefs. It is systematic
discrimination that is unconstitutional and illegal.
Tragically,
the ACLU and similar groups have convinced many public school officials that
the mere mention of Christ or a biblical reference is barred by law. Nothing
could be further from the truth.
In the Harry Potter series, the
evil character Voldemort is so feared that his name must never be mentioned.
Similarly, real-life religious antagonists today are creating an environment
that virtually prohibits the mention of Christ in public school classrooms
or in the public square. By twisting the meaning of the Constitution, they
have produced an atmosphere of fear regarding Christ and Judeo-Christian
teachings.
Across the nation, school and city officials are
banning Christian themes. Nativity scenes have been barred in some New York
schools. A New Jersey middle school cancelled a field trip to attend a
performance of a play based on Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." In
Lewistown, Pa., a Christian church was denied tax exemption because it
distributes food to needy families (the activity was deemed not to be
religious worship). In Cleveland, Tenn., missionaries have been barred from
placing religious literature on cars (even though other groups frequently do
so). The Ten Commandments - the very foundation of American law - have been
banned in many public arenas. (Thank God that Alabama Supreme Court Chief
Justice Roy Moore is leading the defense of the Commandments by legally
defending his erection of a Ten Commandments monument in the rotunda of his
courthouse.)
These alarming actions are part of a diabolical
scheme by anti-religion devotees to create distinctive and unfair rules for
religious Americans. These individual cases will eventually add up to a
national climate of overt hostility toward Christianity (and Christians).
It's really quite a frightening scenario, but we are literally watching it
unfold before our eyes.
We have seen a federal court panel rule
that the mention of God in the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional.
Atheists are now attempting to seek the ban of congressional chaplains.
Barry Lynn of Americans United for Separation of Church and State has
admitted that he wants the word God erased from American coins. These people
literally want a godless society, a concept that dramatically conflicts with
the God-centered nation our Founders created and nurtured.
The
agenda is clear. Christians must be prepared to stand ready to fight for
their rights. It is apparent that our adversaries who wish to stifle us will
not rest until they have silenced every last one of
us.
