Chapter 20: Myth—Politics Doesn’t Matter

Page 57

“I speak as a man of the world to men of the world, and I say unto

you, Search the Scriptures! The Bible is the book of all others, to be read at all ages, and in all conditions of human life.” John Quincy Adams 29

“From the day of the Declaration — they (the American people) were

bound by the laws of God, which they all, and by the laws of the Gospel, which they nearly all, acknowledge as the rules of their conduct.” John Quincy Adams 29

Stop for a moment and before you proceed, go back over and study these quotes. If you examine the writings of our Founding Fathers, you will learn the basis of our great nation. That basis was the Holy Bible and Christianity. If there was a huge failure in the Constitution, it is the failure

to state that moral basis plain and clear. The Founders knew that everyone did not agree on theology, but they failed to grasp the idea that 200 years later, an activist Supreme Court would alter the nation’s moral foundation and cast it into a path of destruction. We do stand at a moral abyss that

threatens to destroy our democracy and the writings of our founders knew that if we ever reached the point we are at — liberty could be destroyed. I see immorality in the courts that now routinely dispense injustice. Why? Our nation has failed to adhere to its founder’s advice and only install moral

judges. The choice before our nation is whether we will survive as a great nation or indeed devolve into the anarchy that John Adams predicted. We are at least 50% along a path of anarchy. And why should I or anyone else who is moral obey an immoral government? When Paul wrote in Romans

13 his instructions to obey the government, it is explicit that the government was godly and righteous. That is why Paul taught the following.

“For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do

you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister,

an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.” Romans 13:3-4
