Remove not the ancient landmarks, Proverbs 22:28

As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the U.S. Supreme Court, you can see near the top of the building a row of the world’s law givers and each one is facing the one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view… it is Moses holding the Ten Commandments! As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door. As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall, right above where the Supreme Court judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments! There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington, D.C.

Every session of Congress begins with a prayer led by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.  Venkatachalapathi Samuldrala, a Hindu priest with the Shiva Vishnu Temple in Parma, Ohio, made history on September 14, 2000 by becoming the first Hindu religious leader to offer an invocation before a session of Congress. What! (Americans United, September 21, 2000)

Our founding fathers were the 55 framers of the Constitution which 52 of them were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies. Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law… an oligarchy—the rule of few over many.

The founding father of the Supreme Court Justice, was John Jay, who said: “Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers.” Jay was also the first President of the American Bible Society—”very interesting”!

Our founding fathers laid these ancient landmarks to form America’s three branches of Government: “For the Lord is our Judge (America’s Supreme Court), the Lord is our lawgiver (America’s Congress), the Lord is our king (America’s President); he will save us”  (Isaiah 33:22). Well, how about that!

Our founding fathers forged these now 50 states on the foundation of the Bible. The format of America was to be a Christian Nation. “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34).  The economy is being destroyed, morality is being destroyed, religion is being destroyed, politics are being destroyed, school system is being destroyed, churches are being destroyed for lack of knowledge, homes are being destroyed, marriages are being destroyed, teen age sex is at an all time high, homosexuality is all time high, and our preachers are being destroyed. If the foundations of life, security, family, justice, and churches be destroyed, what can the righteous do? While 50% of Americans do not believe that God exist, there remains the other 50% who do. As long as our crowd stays the salt of the earth and the light of the world, we will be a reckoning voice to be heard and a voting block which will not go away until he comes and calls us away. We are the living epistles known and read of men.

Patrick Henry, that patriot and founding father of our country said: “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ”. Amen, Brother Henry!
