“The Bible
is the best of all books, for it is the word of God and teaches us
the way to be happy in this world and in the next. Continue
therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts.”
“Providence
has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the
duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation,
to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”
John Jay:
First Chef-Justice on the U.S. Supreme
Been Wrong
All These Years?
As you
walk up the steps to the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. which
houses the Supreme Court, you can see near the top of the building a
row of the world’s givers. And each one is facing one in the
middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view… it is Moses
and the Ten Commandments!
As you
enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge doors have the Ten
Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door. As you
step inside the courtroom, you can see the wall right above where the
Supreme Court judges sit. There above them sit a display of the Ten
Commandments!
There are
Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and
Monuments in Washington, D. C..
James
Madison, the fourth president, known as “The Father of Our
Constitution” made the following statement… “We have staked the
whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind
for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to
govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves
according to the Ten Commandments of God.”
Patrick
Henry, that patriot and one of the Founding Fathers of our nation
said… “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that
this great nation was founded not by religionists but by
Christians…not on religion but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”
Every
session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher whose
salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.
Fifty-two
of the fifty-five founders of the Constitution were members of the
established orthodox churches in the Colonies.
Thomas
Jefferson worried that the courts would overstep their authority and
instead of interpreting law would begin making laws.
The very
first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said… “Americans should
select and prefer Christians as their rulers.”
How
then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for
the past 223 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and
unconstitutional? It is past time for us, as Christians, to take a
stand for which is right and scriptural!
