How do you explain the fact that the founding fathers went against the divine right of kings as laid out in Romans 13:1-7?

[nvsvictor]

Why don't you find out for yourself? GW wrote lots of volumes... I'm sure he talks about it.

[Iconoclast444]

Hmmmm....You have read Romans 13:1-7 haven't you? There aren't any loopholes around those verses, unless you don't believe Paul's letter to the Romans wasn't divinely inspired Are you a christian or not?

[nvsvictor]

I had this debate before with someone. Do you want me to point to you my long debate with him? I'll have to look into my records to find it.

[nvsvictor]

Please spread like wild fire!

WTF? Everyone learns about the pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving in elementary school. This guy is a moron.

[wintereis57]

Oh, my. Made up phrase, huh? Yep, made up by Thomas Jefferson. "I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between church and State." Do please try and remember that, though our society and history is Christian, our Government is not and with good reason.

I just recently watched an excellent documentary, " The Hidden Faith of the Founding Fathers", and discovered that the Founding Fathers were all 33rd degree freemasons. They actually hated the true God of the Bible! You will be shocked to discover what the Founding Fathers actually believed in the own words! Please do a search and learn the truth for yourself.

[maine1560]

IN GOD WE TRUST. WELL, NOT ONLY DID OUR GOVERMENT PUT IN PLACE THE SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.GOD AND JESUS SAID LEAVE TO WHAT IS CEASERS AND LEAVE WHAT IS GOD TO GOD. SO YOU ARE IN NO POSITION TO SAY THAT RELIGION SHOULD BE COMPINED WITH GOVERMENT. AND WHAT IN THE WORLD ,YOU HAVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ON THE FLOOR WHERE THE BILL OF RIGHTS IS ON A DOOR. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU JUST SAID.AND MOSSES DID NOT HAVE THE BILL OF RIGHTS HE HAD THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARESAYING

The First Amendment of the Constitution for the United States, ratified 17 September 1787, placed the restriction on Government law, neither personal belief nor church belief is the topic of law.

Notice he doesn't show you the "50 depictions of the 10 commandments in the supreme court building".

[combatvetlawstudent]

hmm ten commandment as bioll of rights hey that is not so bad actually. As if tehy acknowledge the law as our law what they are sayign is GOD as LAW is and should be OUR LAW!!! We should use that not grumble against it!

[combatvetlawstudent]

as to the statutes remember what Jesus said about making graven images by art of man. You cannot represent images of people in heaven by art. Jesus said DO NOT DO THIS. symbols are oen thing images of person who are in heaven are another. Peopel going before statutes to pray that does not please God but displeases HIm!
