Words used by men who founded the United States of America include Absolute Law,
The Laws of Nature and Nature's God, our Creator, the Supreme Judge, Ruler of the Universe.
In a speech titled Jubilee of the Constitution, 1839, by our nation's
fifth President, John Quincy Adams, we hear from a Founding Father;
words of admonition and advice. Sound guidance.
"Fellow-citizens, the ark of your covenant is the Declaration of
independence. Your Mount Ebal, is the confederacy of separate state
sovereignties, and your Mount Gerizim is the Constitution of the United
States. In that scene of tremendous and awful solemnity, narrated in
the Holy Scriptures, there is not a curse pronounced against the
people, upon Mount Ebal, not a blessing promised them upon Mount
Gerizim, which your posterity may not suffer or enjoy, from your and
their adherence to, or departure from, the principles of the
Declaration of Independence, practically interwoven in the Constitution
of the United States. Lay up these principles, then, in your hearts,
and in your souls - bind them for signs upon your hands, that they may
be as frontlets between your eyes - teach them to your children,
speaking of them when sitting in your houses, when walking by the way,
when lying down and when rising up - write them upon the doorplates of
your houses, and upon your gates - cling to them as to the issues of
life - adhere to them as to the cords of your eternal salvation. So may
your children's children at the next return of this day of jubilee,
after a full century of experience under your national Constitution,
celebrate it again in the full enjoyment of all the blessings
recognized by you in the commemoration of this day, and of all the
blessings promised to the children of Israel upon Mount Gerizim, as the
reward of obedience to the law of God."
============= Comments ======================
A nation divided against itself cannot stand. George Washington
counseled us against any kind of a party spirit. We should all be
United States of America, not emphasizing separate states, or separate
parties. Being all in the group of the United States of America, a
nation under God, we vote to select our representatives. And these
votes should be cast for men who stand by and for and with God and His
Truth, as according to His revealed law.
The nation has declared itself by its founding document, the Declaration of Independence, to be
totally dependent upon the divine protection of God for its continued
existence. Our leaders from the beginning acknowledged Him as the
Supreme Judge, and the giver of our liberties, and acknowledged by
their courts that His law is supreme; that any contrary is null and
void.
The very definition of our republic, as provided by the Constitution,
is a nation ruled by the Supreme Law of God, followed by laws made by
men so long as those laws are in conformity with His law; and in this
republic, representatives of the people are elected by vote to run the
government according to established law. This is a far distance from a
pure democracy where a vote can change or deny any foundational law.
Without God this nation has no foundation law; and having thus been
separated from its foundation can be moved to any place of morality the
vote of masses would go. You anchor and strong safety is in the laws of
nature and God who created all things that were created. Losing that
anchor would allow the ship of state to be driven and tossed with any
wind of events, to any port of calling.
Look to your root and the founding seed thoughts for this nation.
Repair the breach and restore the paths of righteousness. Honor God,
and He will honor again this nation. See az103.net for more
