American History Part One

Under the rule of Darius, King of Babylon, certain

Government officials got jealous of the prophet Daniel. He had served the palace honorably for several years. And these men decided the only way to get rid of him was to use his faith in God against him. They went to King Darius and told him, you're not getting enough respect. You sign this decree, for one month, nobody prays to any god or man except you. This

appealed to King Darius' ego. He signed it.

It was only a few days later that he realized he'd been tricked into a situation

where he would have to condemn his good friend and faithful

servant, daniel. Daniel would not stop praying to his God, no

matter what the king's law said.

A few years before, Daniel's

three friends, Shadrack, Meshack, and Abednego, had faced a

similar situation. King nebuchadnezzar had set up a golden

image of himself in the field, and ordered all the people to

assemble before it, and bow down and worship it. This was a

clear breaking of the second commandment. Thou shalt not make

unto thee any graven image. Thou shalt not bow down to them nor

serve them. Kings in the ancient world were intolerant and

savage. Just like the whole history of the world. For being

faithful to the Lord's commandment, these three young men got

thrown into a furnace.

Both the three men in the furnace, and

Daniel in the lion's den, were delivered by the supernatural

protection of Almighty God. Jesus, at the last supper, told His

disciples, the time comes, that whoever kills you will think he

does god a service. Acts 4;17-19. The council conferred among

themselves, and recognised that a great miracle had been done.

They decided this could not be allowed to continue. Let us

threaten them, they said. That they speak no more in this

name. They commanded them not to speak at all, nor teach, in

the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered, whether it be

right in the sight of God to listen to you, more than God, you

judge. We must speak the things that we have seen and heard.

From the very beginning of Christianity, both government

officials and religious officials have tried to pass laws

restricting the free preaching of the gospel and the free

exercise of the Christian religion. Thru the entire two

thousand years of the Christian era, those in authority have

fulfulled Jesus' prophesy, the time will come, when he that

kills you will think that he does God service. They have used

the machinery of the civil government to enforce their

opposition to Jesus and his message of redemption. In 1516,

A.D., Martin Luther nailed his ninety-five theses to the church

door. He brought down the wrath of the Inquisition, and was

sentenced to be burned alive. The German princes chose to take

his side and protect him. They snatched him in the middle of

the night, They took him away to safety. It was during his

exile in a castle that he translated the Bible into German. It

was there that the history making Reformation was born. The

free exercise of the Christian religion was now going to be

protected by the government. A new idea was born. Let the

government be founded on the principles of the laws of God,

written in the Bible. At that time, There was this whole new

continent, where Christian people were crossing the ocean,

leaving everything behind, beginning a whole new country.

This new country, would be, from its very beginning, dedicated

to Almighty God in the name of Jesus Christ the Saviour. When

the Mayflower landed at Plymouth rRock, in 1620 A.D., the

pilgrims knew they needed to band together in a mutual

agreement of lawful government. They signed an agreement,

called the Mayflower Compact. This document has been called

the birth certificate of the United States of America. It

began, "in the name of God, amen. Having undertaken for the

glory of God, and the advancement of the Christian faith, a

voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of

virginia, etc. All of the founding fathers were in agreement.

This new country of America was to base its laws on the

righteous laws of God written in the Holy Bible. Jesus Christ

the Saviour was to be honored in all public life. All of the

early government Charters of the colonies stated this directly.

Each one of the thirteen colonies stated in its Charter with

the statement that it was going to operate under the Law of God

in the Holy Bible. A colony Charter in 1606 A.D. said "we,

greatly commending the furtherance of so noble a work, which

may by the providence of almighty god, tend to the glory of his

divine majesty of propogating the Christian religion."

Massachusettes, 1629 A.D., The Charter said, that our people

may be so religiously, peaceably, and civilly governed that

their good life and orderly conduct might win the natives of

the country to the knowledge and obedience of the only true God

and Saviour of mankind, and the Christian faith. The writers

are animated with a laudable and pious zeal for the extending

of the Christian religion. 1639 A.D. the Fundamental Orders of

Connecticut. "We enter into combination together to maintain

and preserve the liberty and purity of the gospel of our Lord

jJsus Christ, which we now profess. New England Confederation,

1643 A.D., "we all come into these parts of America with one

and the same end. Namely, to advance the kingdom of our Lord

Jesus Christ. Pennsylvania Charter of Priviledges 1701 A.D.

All persons who confess to believe in Jesus Christ, the Saviour

of the world, shall be capable to serve this government, in any

capacity, both legislatively, and executively. The Christian

foundations of our legal system was expected. Not only

accepted, but demanded. All of the Founding Fathers were in

agreement. This new country of America was to base its laws on

the Bible, insist that the Bible be a free and open book, and

that Jesus Christ was to be honored in all public life. July

13, 1789, the Congress passed the Northwest Ordinances. This

was a set of laws for the governing of the Northwest

Territories that were not yet States. This document stated that

religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good

government, and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means

of education shall forever be encouraged. The early colonists

and founders of our country insisted on something that had

never before been heard of in the history of the world's

governments. The entire population--not just the rich who could

afford it, needed to be educated. A free public education to

every child, no matter what his station in life, was a brand

new idea in the whole history of the world. The founders of our

country knew that to be a free people, we must be an educated

people. That education must include, not only accademics, but

religion and morality. The public schools of this country were

founded for the purpose of teaching every child how to read, so

he could read the Bible, and so become a morally straight,

educated free citizen of a free country. The Bible was the

required textbook in every classroom in America from first

grade to college. Every subject used the Bible in its

curriculum. No where in the wildest nightmares of the founders

of this country would those founders ever have tolerated the

travesty of Murray v. Board of education, 1962. George

Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and

all the rest of them would have labeled Murray v. Board of

Education for what it is. An act of contemptuous sedition and a

violent shredding of the Constitution, and a direct attack on

the Bill of Rights, without moral or legal authority. In the

American Document called the Federalist Papers #8, Alexander

Hamilton spoke of judicial encroachment on the legislative

authority. It was a real worry of the founding fathers that the

judiciary--that's the judges--might get a little out of

control, and try to tell the other parts of the government what

to do. Alexander Hamiliton declared that the judiciary had

total incapacity to support its usurpation by force.

Translated into modern English, the founding fathers saw the

possibility of judges trying to turn themselves into little

dictators, passing out court decrees as if they were law.

Alexander Hamilton said that the protection against this

usurped tyranny was that the judges had no power of

enforcement. They cannot order the police or the army out to

arrest people who disobey their orders. To do this would put

them in armed rebellion against the government. This

regulation of our government brands as null and void every one

of the unlawful, anti-constitutional, decrees of the courts of

the past few years. You never understood it that way before,

bute it is the truth. In 1962, the Supreme Court ordered every

child in america's school rooms to stop praying. But they do

not have the power to call out the army and arrest the child

who goes ahead and prays anyway. When that judge in the 9th

District Court ordered people to stop saying "under God', in

the pledge to the flag, it was an anti-constitional, unlawful

order. That judge, that court, does not have the right to call

out the police and arrest people who say "under God" in the

pledge. The order is an unlawful, ilegal, anti-constitutional

usurpation of power. No judge in any court in the country has

the authority to ban the Bill of Rights. But that is exactly

what todays activist judges are trying to do. Who says so?

Alexander Hamilton says so. The Massachusettes Supreme Court

recently sent an order to the Massachusettes legislature. They

ordered, you must pass a law legalizing gay marriage. It

doesn't matter if the court ordered the legislatures to pass a

law regarding gay marriage, or regulation of traffic lights.

The court has no constitutional power to order the lawmakers to

do anything. They cannot order the army out to arrest the

lawmakers if they disobey the order. Every single one of

those judges are in gross violation of their oath of office.

Alexander Hamilton called it judicial usurpation. To usurp

means to take violently authority that does not belong to you.

The people of this country have been frightened and bullied

into an unnecessary, unlawful submission to anti-constitutional

orders and rulings. It is not possible to declare The Bill of

Rights unconstitutional. Yet ever since 1947, the left-wing

activist judges have been doing just that. The legislatures

have been asleep, not knowing how to deal with this attack on

our freedoms. Other legislators want to trash the Bill of

Rights just as badly as the judges do, so they go along with

it. These orders of the courts these past years are not, by

definition, proper laws. They have not been proposed by the

legislatures, they have not been debated by the legislatures,

they have not been voted on by the legislatures. But they are

enforced just as if they have been. It is the Supreme Court

itself, that declared that it, the Supreme Court, does not have

the power to give certain orders. February 29th, 1892, the

Supreme Court of the United States heard a case called Holy

Trinity vs. the United States. The law in question was a law

that barred the indiscriminate importation of foreign laborers

to work at American jobs, taking these jobs away from American

citizens. Holy Trinity Church hired a foreign born minister to

be its pastor. The question before the court was, is this

legal? The court ruled that the law was a correct law, as

regards any other job. but it was not possible, under the

American Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and historical

precedent, to apply the law to a church. The court ruled that

a churches' choice of pastor was outside the power of the

United States law and courts. In the court's ruling, it

declared absolutely, over and over again, that no ruling of any

court could ever be used to hinder the free exercise of

religion, because religious activity was forever and perfectly

and always outside the jurisdictiion of the court. They quoted

all of the Founding Documents of our country. They declared,

absolutely and positively, this is a Christian nation. The

ruling said, no purpose of action against religion can be

imputed to any legislation, state or national, because this is

a Christian nation. This is historicaly true. That means no

law can be passed any place in America that hinders or censors

the free exerecise of religion, and that includes the

publishing and preaching of the Bible. No court has the power

to interpret any law in any way that would restrain the free

exercise of religion. The Supreme Court of 1892 declared that

it did not have power to censor the Ten Commandments. Yet that

is what today's Supreme Court has pretended to do. From the

discovery of this continent, this Supreme Court ruled, there is

a single voice making this affirmation. The Supreme Court , in

1892, declared, language of similar import, may be found in the

subsequent charters of that colony. and the same is true of the

various charters granted to all the other colonies. In

language more or less emphatic, is the establishment of the

Christian religion, declared to be one of the purposes(of the

establishment of this country).--the celebrated Compact made by

the pilgrims in 1620 A.D., recites, having undertaken for the

glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith, a

voyage, to plant the first colony-. The Fundamental Orders of

Connecticut, 1638 A.D., begin with this declaration, "it has

pleased Almighty God, by the wise disposition of His divine

providence--well knowing where a people are gathered together,

the word of God requires, that to maintain the peace and union

of such a people, there should be an orderly and decent

government, established according to God--we therefore

associate ourselves to enter into combination and confederation

together, to maintain and preserve the liberty and purity of

the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, which we now profess.

In the Charter of Priviledge granted by William Penn to the

Province of Pennsylvania in 1701, it is recited, because no

people can be truly happy, tho under the greatest enjoyment of

civil liberties, if abridged in the freedom of their

consciences, as to their religious profession and worship, and

Almighty God being the only Lord of conscience, Father of

lights and spirits, the Author as well as Object of all Divine

knowledge, faith and worship, who only doth enlighten the minds

and understanding of the people--. the Declaration of

Independence recognizes the presence of the Divine in human

affairs, with the words, we hold these truths to be self

evident, that all men are created equal. Created. Created. And

endowed by their Creator--we, therefore, with a firm reliance

on the protection of divine providence. Continuing the

quotations from the Supreme Court ruling of 1892. If we examine

the Constitutions of the various states, every Constituion of

the 44 states contains language, which, either directly or by

clear implication, recognize a profound reverence for religion,

and an assumption that its influence in all human affairs is

essential to the well being of the community. The preamble to

the Constitution of Illinois, 1870, begins, we the people of

the State of Illinois, grateful to Almighty God, for the civil,

political, and religious liberties, which He has so long

permitted us to enjoy, and looking to Him for a blessing on our

endeavors--.the Constituion of the State of Indiana, 1816,

Article 2, Paragraph four, the manner of administering an oath

shall be esteemed the most solumn appeal to God. Constitution

of Maryland, 1867, Article 36, it is the duty of every man to

worship God in such a manner as he thinks is most acceptable to

Him. All persons are equally entitled to protection in their

religious liberty. A few sentences later, it says, quote. no

religious test aught ever to be required as a qualification for

any office or profit or trust in this state, other than a

declaration of belief in the existance of God. Unquote.

Constitution of Massachusettes 1780. Article 2 and 3 part 1.

It is the right as well as the duty of all men in society,

publicly to worship the Supreme Being, the great Creator and

Preserver of the Universe. The good order and preservation of

good government essentially depend upon piety, religion, and

morality. The Constitution of the United States, contains in

the First Amendment, a declaration like unto to the

Constitutions of all the States. Congress shall make no law

respecting an establsishment of religion or restricting the

free exercise thereof. The Supreme Court of 1892 goes on. There

is no dissonance in these declarations. That means no

arguements or disagreements. There is a universal language

pervading them all. They affirm and re-affirm. This is a

religious nation. These are not individual sayings, the

declaration of private persons. They are organic utterance.

They speak the voice of the entire people. That means they are

the official and legal position of the people and the people's

government. In a case called Updegraph vs. Commonwealth, it was

decided that Christianity, general Christianity, is, and always

has been a part of the Common Law of Pennsylvania. Not

Christianity with an established church, but Christianity with

liberty of conscience. In a case called People vs. Ruggles,

Chancellor Kent, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New

York, said, the people of this State, in common with the people

of this country, profess the general doctrines of Christianity

as the rule of their faith and practice. The free, equal, and

undisturbed enjoyment of religious opinion, whatever it may be,

and free and decent discussion, on any religious subject, is

granted and secured. We are a Christian people, and the

morality of the country is deeply ingrafted upon Christianity.

In the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and eighty

nine, George Washington, in his official capacity as President

of the United States, signed an official government order. It

said. Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the

Providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful

for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and

favor, and whereas both houses of Congress have, by their joint

committee, requested me to recommend to the people of the

United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be

observed by acknowledgeing with grateful hearts the many and

signal favors of Almighty God, I do recommend and assign,

thursday, the twenty sixth day of November next, to be devoted

by the people of these States to the service of that great and

glorious Being who is the Beneficent Author of all the good

that was, that is, or that will be. Given under my hand, at

the city of New York, the third day of October, in the year of

our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and eighty nine. Signed,

G. Washington. If the ACLU had been present in 1789, they

would have squealed like pigs and demanded that President

Washington be impeached. All of the hundreds of founding

documents of our country declare that freedom of religion and

public exercise of that freedom of religion is absolutely

necessary for the proper governing of a free nation of free

people. Yet there are forces in this country that have been

working tirelessly for decades to make free public exercise of

religion to be against the law. It started with Murray v.

Board of Education, in which the Court claimed to have the

power to forbid children to pray. It goes through all the

bannings of the Ten Commandments, the banning of prayer in

public places, the banning in some communities of the word

Christmas, as in Christmas vacation, the banning of the singing

of Christmas carols. At this present time there are efforts

under way to get the courts to remove crosses from Christian

graves, if those Christian graves are on Federal property, and

there is an attempt to forbid United States Air Force Cadets

from saying table grace over their breakfast. Where is all this

lunacy coming from?
