***FROM THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA***
1st Amendment:
> Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
The 'MYTH' of a separation of church and state clause!
Almost everyone believes that there is a clause in our federal constitution which contains the term "A SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE." In reality, there are no such words to be found ANYWHERE in our constitution. This concept, and the terminology, are simply a form of "BRAIN-WASHING" practiced by the HUMANIST mind-set who are the real masters and rulers of our country.
Our elected officials are only pawns of those who really make the policies and regulations we are expected to abide by. No politician, including the president, can effect any real changes in America. The humanist-liberal power brokers use the supreme court, and various governmental agencies as tools to declare how we will live in America. (and most of the world) Even a strong leader is "hand-cuffed" by this central core of wickedness, which controls so many political forces in our world.
The anti-Christ stance of this humanist-inspired power base is evident, as they are much more tolerant of non-Christian religions which glorify "self" above God. New-age thought, and even some forms of witchcraft are endorsed, while Judeo-Christian teachings are deemed as barbaric and inhumane doctrines which are too "foolish" to merit any consideration.
Let's consider what the REAL facts are:
----------------------------------------
The constitution DOES NOT mandate a separation between church and state, it simply requires that BOTH church and state operate without attempting to regulate each other. It is just as wrong for the government to make rules regulating religion, as it is for the church to attempt to establish it's power over the government. If anything, it is the GOVERNMENT who is over stepping the boundary!
Few people realize that the first PUBLIC SCHOOLS were instituted to teach children to read, so that they could READ THE BIBLE for themselves. This may sound strange, but it is an historical FACT. Back then, the people knew that a knowledge of the word of God was ESSENTIAL for a moral and productive society. While the constitution forbid the ESTABLISHMENT of a NATIONAL RELIGION, it was COMMON for certain religious bodies to be endorsed by the various states. Our historic documents speak of the Creator, God, and even our currency exclaims our TRUST IN GOD. We have bibles in the court house, and prayers are common before political meetings are conducted. To attempt to separate God from America, is AT LEAST a form of HIGH TREASON.
It is only in recent times, that America has become held down "under the thumb" of groups like the ACLU. (anti-Christian & lost union) We have allowed "elite" infidel's to become our masters, and we have ejected God from America. We can have witches, homosexuals, and communists as teachers in our schools, but God is not welcome anywhere within 50 feet or so of a public school. Is it any wonder that our children shoot drugs, teachers, and other students?
We need to reunite American and God, if we want at least a last chance effort to restore this nation. The problem is not the church attempting to overthrow the government, it is the government attempting to "stamp out" the church. If we abide by the first admendment, things will work fine. Every time we allow the government (including the IRS) to regulate the church, we VIOLATE the first amendment.
Ministers do not need a license, they need a CALLING. The constitution of Russia does contain a separation clause, but that government has actually ENDORSED religion as being a positive force for society in general. We are "backslidden" and have slipped lower then this former communist state! The first amendment declares that everyone has to right to free expression. If we cannot express the gospel freely, it does not matter what else we shout from the house tops...
