Voter Guides In America Do We Need Them?
I am aware that this series of articles is not typical voter guides, however, my objective is to alert the nation to the real peril facing America. Unless we are aware of the real problem, we will never respond correctly. Unfortunately, I fear that we may well have stepped beyond that “point of no return”. Our only hope rests with Jesus Christ. Unless this nation returns to its former Christian heritage it will go the way of the Roman Empire That decision is up to you, you the voter; however, there are certain guiding principles which must be employed as we make such decisions. The choices we make will impact greatly upon the kind of nation we are or will become and this should be taken very seriously. I will say this, however, the decisions we have made in recent years are in-excusable, and have left this nation struggling for its very survival. Therefore, we should stop and take stock of what has happened to this nation and the reasons for it. If this does not change our way of voting then this nation will continue its decline to the point of destruction. I do not believe that this is an exaggeration.
The first things we need to consider are the things which made this nation great from the beginning. America was once a great nation, a powerful nation, a free nation, and a well respected nation, not only by its own citizens, but by the entire world. While that respect may not be lost completely, it is seriously diminished and under assault. Our freedoms are literally in grave danger. Corruption, spiritual corruption that is, from within our government is rampant. The U. S. Constitution has been gutted by those who have sworn to uphold and protect it-- the United States Supreme Court and all who have been responsible for putting irresponsible men on that Court as well as those who have supported the men who have put those irresponsible men on the bench. We all must share in this responsibility to some degree but it is not too late to do something about it. No nation can survive this assault and we must return to the government given to us by our fore-fathers or be prepared to face the consequences. Let’s take a look at the kind of government given to us by our fore-fathers that we might be able to return to that government. It is our only hope for survival.
This government was based strongly upon, not religious principle, but upon Christian principles and every man who chooses to ignore or deny this fact is a part of our problem today- no exceptions. The United States Supreme Court has obliterate these Christian principles and just about succeeded in bringing this once great nation to its very knees and I personally hold these men responsible and in total contempt, not as individuals, but for what they have done to this once great nation. Not all Justices who have sat on the bench are responsible for the demise, but the majority are indeed responsible and short of repentance before Almighty God, they shall indeed be held accountable. Not one of these men who has been responsible for the assault upon this Godly nation will escape the judgment of Almighty God. Short of repentance they shall stand before the Great White Throne Judgment with the blood of children dripping from their hands because they have made the taking of “innocent human life” legal in this nation. They have actually made it legal under our system of law, to take the lives of untold thousands of innocent children under the guise of a woman’s right to choose.
How low can we sink morally and survive as a nation? What is our responsibility in this dastardly crime? This in itself is enough to bring God’s Judgment upon any nation or individual whether they believe in Almighty God or not. Unbelief will change absolutely nothing. One could write volumes outlining the violations or assaults by the Supreme Court and other lesser courts on the U. S. Constitution but time and space will not permit it at this time. Let’s take a brief look at only a few of the things they have done which violates the U. S. Constitution and not to mention the laws of Almighty God.
1. Under the guise of “Separation of Church And State”, a concept which is not even mentioned in our Constitution, they have obliterated the First Amendment of the Constitution and just about succeeded with the elimination of Christianity from our society.
2. They have made it illegal to read God’s word in the class rooms of America, a nation founded as a Christian Nation.
3. They have made prayer in the classrooms of America illegal, in a nation founded as a Christian Nation.
4. They have ripped, from the US Constitution, “private property ownership rights”.
5. Indeed, whether they recognize it or not, they have attacked the very foundation of this nation with their assault on Christianity and as a result this nation is literally crumbling as we speak.
6. They have imposed the teaching of evolution upon our educational system and sharply limited or prevented the teaching of creationism.
Since evolution is completely incompatible with Christianity, they have in effect; set the stage which makes it mandatory that the public schools teach the youth of our nation that there is no God. If “evolution” is true then God does not exist and Christianity is in vain. The two are completely and unalterably incompatible. I would invite you to go to my personal website (iftrue.org) and read more detail on many of these issues. You will find these detailed articles under the heading of “Good News”.
This list could go on endlessly but this is more than enough to show how the Courts of this land have attacked and almost obliterated the U. S. Constitution, the document that they have sworn to uphold and protect. What does all this have to do with our voting in this nation? We voted to put the men in office that placed these people in key positions of our court system and allowed them to obliterate the U. S. Constitution. While all this took place the Church, sat idly by, allowed it to happen and objected not! And we all joined in unison and simply agreed that it was the “Law of the Land”.
It is not the “Law of the Land”, it is a violation of our Constitution and we can do something about it even now. We must stop voting for these Godless renegades and clear out about seventy-five-ninety percent of what we have sent to Washington and demand strict adherence to the Constitution. If we fail to act then you can sit back and watch this nation as it crumbles into the ashes as did the Roman Empire because God’s Judgment shall move forward unchecked.
There are three questions we should ask every person for which we might vote.
1. Do you believe in evolution or creationism?
If they believe in evolution they cannot believe in God and do not deserve to serve in a free government such as ours. If they believe in creationism they cannot support abortion and if they do support free choice they cannot be Christians and do not deserve to serve in government in this free nation.
2. Do you believe in and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ?
If they do not then they do not deserve your support for they lack wisdom. Even some “so-called Christians” will wail at this simple solution but it is the only thing that is going to turn this nation around.
3. Do you support a woman’s right to free choice or do you support abortion?
This is one issue which should cause every voter to become a one issue voter. Any man who supports the taking of innocent human life stands on the threshold of eternal damnation. I know that such a statement is not politically correct, but it is time for someone “to tell it as it is”. Yes, Almighty God will hold you responsible when you support the taking of innocent human life.
This nation has just about had all this Godlessness it can stand. Absolute adherence to this spiritual test will correct the problem facing this nation but I recognize that it will drive many liberals and some unregenerate conservatives up the proverbial wall. Even non Christians should use these guidelines because that is the only thing that is going to protect their freedoms and their constitutional rights. People of other religious persuasions would be wise to use these guidelines because that is the only way their right to worship as they please can be protected whether they realize it or not.
Why has America been so great? It is because of these Christian principles by which we have allowed ourselves to be governed. As these Christian principles diminish, so also do our freedoms. These guidelines have protected and will continue to protect the freedoms which all people, Christian or non Christian alike have so long enjoyed but if they are allowed to disappear so will our freedoms, for both Christians and non-Christians.
Sadly, it is not only Christianity which is under attack but the very foundation of our nation and that includes our freedoms.
“…Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican form of government, and all the blessings which flow from them, must fall with them…” Jedediah Morse, known as the Father of Modern Geography.
With that said, you can do what you like but you have already seen the demise of our freedoms and it is in direct proportion to the demise of Christianity from our society. Unfortunately, unwise men are working to remove the Christian principles from the heart and soul of America.
Lest you begin to think that I am some kind of “political right wing nut” allow me to re-assure you. I have been involved in the public schools for many years. In the early years of my career I taught history at both the secondary and the elementary level. I always taught my students that a government, such as ours, could not survive unless the people were completely honest, totally involved and properly informed. Today I might revise that just a little and say that a government such as ours cannot survive without “Godly” men at the helm.
If you believe that my opinions are too far to the right consider what the founding fathers had to say about these same issues. Keep in mind that they gave us the greatest nation ever to exist.
I realize, of course, that the far out left wing liberals, including the media, will likely deny this but it is because they are basically dishonest, therefore, their opinions should count for nothing, for they lack wisdom. Wisdom comes only from Almighty God and, since they do not accept God, they have absolutely no wisdom and are depending entirely upon man’s knowledge and that simply is not sufficient. Remember what God’s word says about them? “…Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools…” They are “out of the loop” and understand not one thing that is happening around them. George Washington himself said “…It is impossible to rightly govern . . . without God and the Bible…”
That is what’s wrong with our nation today. That is the reason we stand today on the threshold of destruction. Let’s find out a little more about what our founding fathers had to say on this issue because it closely parallels the point I am making.
“…The birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birth-day of the Savior and forms a leading event in the progress of gospel dispensation…[The Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer’s mission upon the earth and laid the corner stone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity…” John Quincy Adams
“…It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionist, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ!...” Patrick Henry
“Providence has a given to our people the choice of their rulers, and is the duty of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers…”
John Jay, First Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court
“…No free government now exists in the world unless where Christianity is acknowledged, and is the religion of the country….Its foundations is broad and strong, and deep…it is the purest system of morality, the firmest auxiliary and only stable support of all human laws…” Signed Simply From the Court
“…I have always said and will always say that the studious perusal of the sacred volume (the Holy Bible) will make us better citizens…”
Thomas Jefferson
“…It is impossible to rightly govern. . . without God and the Bible…”
George Washington
“…The Bible is a book worth more than all other books ever printed…”
Patrick Henry
“…Suppose a nation in some distant Region, should take the Bible for their only law Book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited. . . What a Utopia, what a Paradise would this region be…” John Adams
Consider this, if these founding fathers, operating with Godly wisdom, were able to put together the foundation of the greatest nation ever to exist then who are we to decide that we can do it better using only man’s knowledge when man’s knowledge alone has proven to be a complete failure.
Now if any choose to label me a “right wing nut” then all of these fore fathers are were likewise “right wing nuts” and I consider that very good company, certainly better than many of today’s “left wing nuts”. I am not sure that I would be labeled a “politically correct” individual today but I know that I am correct.
Many State Constitutions, during the early period of our history, mandated that every political office holder be required to profess Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. I am not suggesting that for today, but I am suggesting that before you vote for anyone, obtain answers to the three questions I mentioned earlier and vote accordingly if you desire to see this nation rise up from the “mess” we have today but, if not, continue on our present trend and ‘in accordance with God’s Holy word, you will have “what you say”. Actually, you may not even need to literally ask the questions mentioned because you will probably know the answers after hearing them speak on the issues but you must vote according to how they stand on the issues. You must vote on whether they rely upon Godly wisdom or man’s knowledge and man’s knowledge is never sufficient. If you fail to vote for Godly wisdom but rely upon man’s knowledge then you can consider yourself a part of the problem. God will not force Himself upon you but you will live with the consequences of your decisions and this nation will rise or fall based upon the decisions we make at the ballot box or, more importantly, the decisions we make within our heart. God can turn this nation around if the Christians make a stand, but the question is, will they?
