Missouri's 7th District, U.S. House of Representatives

  
 

 

 

Liberty Under God
WILL PREVENT AMERICA FROM BEING
Cursed by God



Congress should
  • Stop promising to bring the blessings of liberty to America by government edict and bureaucratic regulation
  • Obey God's Law to
  • avoid being cursed by God

 

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, 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.

The Bible says that if we obey God's Commandments, He will bless us. Learn about God's blessings here.

That same Bible says that if we disobey God's Law, He will send curses upon us.

Deuteronomy 28 and Leviticus 26 set forth some of the blessings we can expect if we obey, and the curses which will hunt us down if we disobey. Among the curses listed in Deuteronomy 28 include crop failure, livestock shortages, infertility, slumping production, spoilation, vandalism, fungus, disease, pests, sickness, drought, hemorrhoids, eczema, mental illness, broken marriages, eminent domain, confiscation, military drafts, centralized government, debt, (and at verse 45 I quit and say) etc.

In 1892 the Supreme Court of the United States agreed that we are a Christian nation. America was the most prosperous and admired nation in history.

In the 20th century, the federal government declared itself to be God, and denied any obligation to follow America's Founding Fathers and seek the blessing of God.

America has gone from the most prosperous and admired nation on earth, to a pornographic warmonger nation that is bankrupt and despised.

Bankruptcy and debt are explicitly spelled out in the Bible as curses upon a disobedient nation. God has thus far withheld most of the curses we deserve.

The debt-curse now rearing its head over the United States is a result of our shift in religion and our shift in behavior.

Religious Shift

Both before and after the ratification of the Constitution, America as a nation acknowledged its duty to be a nation "under God." The modern Supreme Court has repudiated that duty, making America an officially atheistic nation. Never mind that every single person who signed the Constitution believed that America was and must always be a nation under God, and must always acknowledge its duty to God, the Court frankly admitted in ALLEGHENY COUNTY v. GREATER PITTSBURGH ACLU, 492 U.S. 573 (1989):

This Court, however, squarely has rejected the proposition that the Establishment Clause is to be interpreted in light of any favoritism for Christianity that may have existed among the Founders of the Republic. (http://laws.findlaw.com/us/492/573.html)

The Court violates the central assumption of American Constitutional interpretation: that the document is to be interpreted in light of the original intent of its Framers. The Court now believes it can make the Constitution "mean" anything it wants. And what the Court wants is to "be as god." And that means getting the real God out of the way by declaring, as the Allegheny Court went on to say, that

This is a lie. The Framers of the Constitution intended no such mandate, and never observed any such mandate. Just as all individuals have a duty to worship God, so do nations. America's Founding Fathers honored that duty. The Constitution did not repeal that duty. (The duty to "remain secular," in this particular case, means the duty of the government not to acknowledge Christmas.)

Behavior Shift

The United States used to be committed to obeying the Ten Commandments, also known as "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God."

The United States now seems committed to flagrantly disobeying as many of God's Commandments as is humanly possible.

America is doomed.

But God will be merciful if we repent, and we can once again enjoy His blessings if we pursue "Liberty Under God" rather than security under man.
