With all due respects to you, the First Commandment is for the nation of Israel. It was not commanded to the nations surrounding Israel, in other words, the heathen.
The command to have no other Gods before me, is for those who are part of national, and by implication, spiritual Israel.
Government is a secular personality.
In due time, God will judge this government, right now they are shaking their fist at the True God, but God will have the last laugh.
I go with Magnetic Poles on this one.
If we are in another country where they observe prayers to Allah or to Hare Krishna before opening up their sessions, we can always step out.
If we compel them to bow their heads in prayer to a God they do not know, there is no reason for us not to expect them to compel us to bow our heads to a god we do not know.
There will be judgment, we can be sure of that.
When the dictator Marcos was expelled from my country, the darling of the middle class, Cory Aquino, was a Roman Catholic b--t kisser who allowed idols and statues to be erected even on public property.
One was erected on a main road, on private property, 50 feet high, of the "Blessed Virgin" and below that was incscribed the words of 2 Chronicles 7:14.
In other words, the words of the Living God were being ascribed and credited to a dead god.
Well, that was the year Mt. Pinatubo erupted, followed by a big earthquake in the summer capital, and that government throughout all its tenure never had rest from coups d'etat and various rebellions.
Having said that: THE MUSLIMS AND THE HINDUS ARE LAUGHING AT US RIGHT NOW FOR OUR STUPID POLITICAL CORRECTNESS !!!!
What I am curious about now is, what will the ACLU be doing ?
Will they be up in arms, or are they up in arms only when Christians are involved ?
