What is the
foundation of our Constitution?
Freedom Outpost–
Publius Huldah – 2/6/2013
The
fundamental act of our Founding, the Declaration of Independence, recognizes
the Creator God as the Source of Rights;1 and acknowledges that the purpose of
civil government is simply to “secure” the Rights God gave us. The Constitution
we subsequently ratified was based on God’s model of civil government as set
forth in the Bible.
That is why
our Country was so much better than what the rest of the World has been. For
the most part, we followed God’s model for civil government; other countries
didn’t.
The
blessing which flows from God’s model is limited civil government which is under
The Law. That is why our Liberty Bell quotes Lev. 25:10 – “Proclaim LIBERTY throughout
all the Land unto all the Inhabitants thereof.”
1. The
Civil Authorities are under the Law.
The Bible: God
is The Lawmaker – the kings are to apply God’s Law.
2. Civil
Government has only limited and defined Powers:
The Bible:
When you read through the Old Testament, you see that civil government is
limited to:
Military
matters
Enforcement
of only a few of God’s Laws – the laws to which a penalty for violation is
attached (laws against murder, theft, bearing false witness, negligence, etc.).
Judges are
available to decide disputes between the people
3. Civil
Government is divided into Three Parts:
The Bible:
Isaiah 33:22 says The Lord is our “judge”, “lawgiver”, and “king”!
The
parallel in our Constitution is that the federal government is divided into
three branches: Judicial, legislative, and executive.
4. The
Civil Authorities promise to obey the Higher Law.
The Bible:
The king promises to obey God’s Laws and to apply God’s Laws in the kingdom;
and the people pledge themselves to this promise:
5. When the
Civil Authorities violate the Higher Law, We must Rebuke them!
The Bible:
The prophets rebuke the kings when they forsake God’s Law:
6. The
Peoples’ Obligation to obey the Civil Authorities is conditional upon the Civil
Authorities obeying the Higher Law.
The Bible:
As shown by the Scripture at Principle 4, civil government is a covenant
between God, the king, and the People. God makes the Laws; the king promises to
obey and apply those Laws; and the people pledge themselves to the Covenant.
What can We
do?
READ our
Declaration of Independence and Constitution until you become familiar with
them. Stick to original sources (e.g., The Federalist Papers) and beware of the
ignorant know-it-alls with their crazy theories.
REBUKE
officials and judges who violate the Constitution! Specify the violation.
Usually, the violation is that what they did is not an enumerated power.
ELECT State
& County officials who will nullify unconstitutional acts of Congress,
executive orders, & judicial opinions. Here are Model
Nullification Resolutions for State Legislatures.
TALK to
your pastor, priest or rabbi – we all share the Old Testament. We must dust off
our copies and read them; renounce escapism & defeat; renounce the
unbiblical doctrine of socialism (listen to Fr. Andrew!); renounce the
unbiblical doctrine of divine right of kings – the false doctrine that God
granted autonomy to the civil authorities; declare independence from the
federal government and throw off the chains of the 501 (c) (3) tax exemption! Star t being the Salt & Light we are called to be
– the Watchmen on the Wall. PH.
Congress’ Enumerated
Powers
The President’s
Enumerated Pows, Rulemaking by Executive Agencies & Executive Orders
What are the
Enumerated Powers of the Federal Courts?
