Evicting Christianity from America

The one who pays the piper names the tune. If you don't want youd children in govt schools then remove them. It is still a free country.

 

2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Did you think the US would be exempt form this? What you mention is only HOW they will do it; for they must dispence with or otherwise pervert the law(s) in a "free" country:

Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think TO CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

It's all a precurser brother to make ready the way! Does anyone really think that when we CHANGE TIME to "daylight savings" that we really save energy? When you have people go to and come back from work in the dark you don't save energy; it's just getting people here in the good-ol-US-of-A used to doing what they are told no matter how rediculous (like believing we came from a rock)!

Mar 4:19 And the CARES OF THIS WORLD, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, CHOKE THE WORD, and it becometh unfruitful.

Luk 8:14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are CHOKED WITH CARES and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring NO FRUIT to perfection.

Luk 21:34 And TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and CARES OF THIS LIFE, and so that day COME UPON YOU UNAWARES.
Luk 21:35 For AS A SNARE shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: SEE THAT YE BE NOT TROUBLED: FOR ALL THESE THINGS MUST COME TO PASS, but the end is not yet.

The Lord is driving, and He knows where He's going!

Love in Christ

 

Barring a miracle it won't happen. It is obvious for various reasons that people are satisfied that the devil we know is preferred to the devil we don't know, politically speaking. We can most all "live with" the Rs and/or the Ds.

 

Our constitution does not say we can't pray in school. As a matter of fact, when this country was founded, they used the Bible in school as a textbook!!

For reading and writing and spelling! Now we can't take a bible to school?

Bob is right, why don't we just stop it now? The constitution says that "congress shall make no law concerning religion", but the supreme court interprets it the wrong way, and makes plenty of laws that are UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!

The world has gone mad and a lot of Christians are just falling into line.

No, but the constitution forbids the govermnent from respecting the relisious establishment, and mandated school-led prayer does just that. I certainly do not want a public school teacher requiring my kids to pray, do you?

That's untrue. It is not illegal for students to bring a bible or any other religious material to school. My daughter has a bible in her backback every day, and reads it often at lunchtime. Her high school library has several translations of the Bible and other religious texts available for checkout. My daughter used the Song of Solomon as a literary source for an English report on poetic styles. She got an A.

 

Wait a second...
The constitution forbids the establishment of religion, i.e., a state church.
It does not forbid religious establishments from acting and doing as they are required by their religion.

Now, what you "can" and "can't" take to school isn't regulated by law. The law says you can, but that's not enforced. I had a friend who had to carry around a copy of the constitution and other applicible laws in order to keep school officials from telling him to get rid of the Bibles, get rid of the christian-message clothing, etc...
Laws aren't "hard and fast" anymore. They're open to "intepretation" (rather: Disregarding)

 

It does more than that. It forbids the respecting of the establishment of religion as a whole. It does not simply forbid the establishment of a government-run church. In fact, versions of Amendment I that only prohibited a state-run organized religion were abandonded by the framers in favor of the current and more broad Amendment I wording banning the respecting of religious establishmets in general.

That is likewise true, as noted in the "free excercise" clause in Amendment I (...nor prohibiting the free excercise thereof...).

 

Personally, I believe we have been evicting God out of our schools and society for mega years.

The Twin Towers, the flooding in all the southern states, the mud slides and fires that have taken thousands of acres in the west are all signs from the Lord that we are on our last chance to turn this nation around.

The Lord destroyed Jerusalem in 70 A.D. because of the Israelites rejection of the Messiah/Jesus and because of their backsliding away from Him.

The question is, 'Do you think that the Lord will put up with our sins and turning Him out of our society without bringing judgment on the United States? Are we better than His own chosen people, the Jewish people?

By outsourcing and importing so much from China the Lord is preparing us for a fall just like Jerusalem.

The hammer is about to fall on us!

Dr. Berrian, Th.D.

 

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.

What part of"shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"

What part of this don't people understand?

Jesus make a correct analogy when He called us sheep.

Some big head honcho in Washington says do something and we just follow the leader.

Sheep would run off the cliff if the leader did.

This may be true, but I think you are stepping over the line a bit in telling everybody that natural disasters and terrorist activities are a direct result of our relationship with God.

It may be so, but I don't think you are the one with the secret "key" to what is punishment and what is natural occurances.

 

Interesting!

Here's one person claiming that all these disasters are a warning from God, (this scenario has appeared multiple times on the BB since 9-11, with the same results) and what's the response? To paraphrase, "Who made you God's spokesman?"

While it's true that (at least to my knowledge), none of us know for certain whether it's just natural disasters, or God's warning, I find it revealing that so many are quick to dismiss the possibility of the latter with such quips as " the rain falls on the just and the unjust" as a supposed proof that these have no bearing to God's judgements OR warnings.

I personally believe that God is giving us warnings, but that's just me!

I don't plan on being adament about it, but IF I were, I'd be adament on the side of caution rather than chancing ignoring a message from God.

Also, IF you don't know the reason for the events, what better way to react than as if they were/are a wake-up call from God? I see nothing but positive with this approach but possible danger from the "rain on the just unjust" approach.

Israel was famous for rejecting the "natural/political" disaster warnings that we know after the fact WERE warnings from God. (We have been subjected to too much "God is loving" and not enough "God is righteous" platitudes!)

Is America going to follow suit?????

 

I agree with you Just-want-peace, to many people just don't want to think that God could ever do something if we don't get sin out of our country. You know, abortion, gambling, brothels etc.

I want to be the first one to say, Bob is not the only one who thinks this. It is all over the place, if one would care to LISTEN instead of just passing it off as some nutty idea!!

There are thousands upon thousands of people who believe the same thing. They may be a majority and just don't want to speak out and be ridiculed!!!

Selah,
