STAND-4-CHRIST... DEFEND AMERICA

              All men face conflict concerning their lives and beliefs.

                       This may be recognized at different times (of their lives), and for some perhaps never.

      The truth is, there are choices to be made. These are historic choices that men have faced for all time.

                                         Put simply, the choice between GOOD and EVIL!

For those who truly desire "goodness" and "what is right" the cornerstone and foundation is found in "CHRISTIANITY". including the principles of Judaic Law. Judaism preceded Christianity as the early Church (and Christ said I am not come to change the law!). 

JUMPING FORWARD to the founding of the United States, both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution without doubt were framed based on Christian/Judaic principles. And perhaps one of the most important principles is the requirement of "The separation of Church and State"..... (the first amendment) HOW SO YOU ASK?

To place in context, those leaving Europe and the British Isles (as well as seeking opportunity and the freedom to protect their property) did so because of religious persecution. Witness the "Mayflower". It is also noteworthy, that the celebration of "Thanksgiving" coincides with the traditional "harvest festival" (worship and service). FREEDOM then which we embrace as a Nation IS NOT the freedom to do whatever we wish, BUT IS THE FREEDOM to worship God and Christ as we choose without the state or government interfering or dictating to the sacred Church (as the First Amendment provides for).

WHY IS escaping from religious persecution, allowing men to worship God as they choose, important? Because prior to the freedoms established in America, "CHRISTIAN" beliefs in Europe were enforced by the Crown or the State determining if an individual might worship as a Protestant or Catholic. Within much of Europe (the time of the "reformation") Lutherans were under assault by the ruling King(s) faithful to Rome (we see extensions of Lutheran beliefs in the Amish and Plain peoples here is the USA today); while in Britain the Protestant movement, led by the Methodists and later other denominations (Presbyterian, Congregational, and the Salvation Army), was in conflict with the traditional expression of the Universal Catholic Faith (due to political bias). In Britain the founding religion (the Celtic Church and Tradition) like much of Eastern Europe originated in Orthodoxy (the One Universally believed Christian faith); whereas, in central Europe Roman Catholicism became established (not strictly the One Universal faith, but directed by Rome). NOTE (To the casual observer): All this was not a breakdown of the Church, but the unintended and unfortunate influence of men... Christians having a responsbility to work to overcome differences of opinion arising from "free will."

WHERE ARE WE TODAY?

Firstly, the first amendment has been violated repeatedly over the years, perhaps the greatest offence was the protection of the right to abortion. This is NOT a woman's health issue, BUT MURDER of the unborn child! Do we all sin - YES, but the greater sin here is the promotion of abortion! However, it can be said the present administration has exceeded that great travesty, by further offending moral standards and decency, and disregarding the teachings of the Church; an institution (and teachings) the United States Government is REQUIRED TO DEFEND! The separation of Church and State is NOT intended to remove the Church from Government... BUT to keep the government out of the Church. Government (any of the three branches) cannot dictate (or attempt to design, or impose upon) the (Christian) Church, as it is not of men but of GOD. The Church however, MUST be in government for reasons including morality, truth, and justice. What is more, the influence of the Church can never be removed while men still believe in GOD, attend Church, and read the Holy Scriptures (Bible), and receive Christ as their Savior, as rightly the laws and teachings of the Church are to govern our personal and public lives, requiring individual responsibilty. Let us remember also that in addition to the Ten Commandments, all men will appear before Jesus Christ on judgement day (a good reason for Christian teaching to prevail for the sake of all mankind). Taking the Church out of the State will require the State to be entirely atheist (or communist, or consist of other beliefs contra to Christian/ Judaic teachings) and as a result, absent any moral compass or a conscience.

    The First Amendment says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibit the free exercise thereof"...

Before the coming of Christ ALL men were enslaved!!!

The present success of men (education, hospitals, just law and the "American Constitution") the direct result of Christ and HIS teachings, facilitated for the past 2000 years, by the Holy Christian Church.

       By way of contrast, the Koran, as does all false teaching, keeps men enslaved, denying the teachings of Christ, the Savior of mankind!!! Also, ISLAM is not a religion as envisaged by the writers of the constitution. Islam is a political system and embodies laws opposing the laws of this country (and the free world); and is subversive in its indoctrination to pervert the "freedom of religion", and directly opposes the constitution of the USA and the Christian Church, the Church established by GOD's Son Jesus Christ. Islam a creation of man, serves to misdirect mankind from the one true faith and from the One true GOD (the Heavenly Father of ALL men.)
