A Lost Society?

There are many viewpoints, in fact arguments people offer in an attempt to justify the permissiveness of our society today, such as the “woman’s right to choose” or what has more recently been relabeled "a woman's reproductive rights". A tireless effort to retain the so determined legal validity of abortion, fought for more intently than our right to practice our faith even according to the constitution which supposedly provides us our freedom of speech. In reality, our permissiveness has become a quest in this country to justify and legalize immorality in general for nothing more than individual conveniences to a point of perverting the American culture that before this period thrived as one nation under God - but no more. IT IS NOT AND NEVER WAS within the scope of our Government’s authority to determine what moral values may be dispensed with or at what age a human life has no value beyond that which God determines and instills within each of us. The principles of God and morality were our foundation as a nation.When the foundation of any structure is removed, the structure weakens and will collapse.

 

Morality is not limited only to those who do believe in God. But we are going to pass beyond all the arguments and opinions and view points of the “most intelligent minds” of our day, our supreme court justices for example, and speak the truth of it all regardless of who’s "side" anyone might be on. I have to ask, do we not realize that a mentality of a society that denies the humanity of a preborn infant would certainly spawn the same mentality that raises children who commit mass murder of their classmates, or adults who commit mass murder on the most innocent children in their classrooms? Acceptance of legalized mass murder in the killing of millions of preborn children due most commonly to carelessness and the lack of self respect and self control can not breed healthy relationships, respect for life or respect for self let alone generate any kind of Christian love the majority of this society claims as a foundation of their faith. How many of us reelected a president who has refused to support the legalization of required medical intervention for infants born alive after a failed abortion determining it was better to leave them to die?

The time has long past...
for a reexamination of the principles and beliefs that formed the foundation of these United States of America. We do not exclude our political representatives who may personally claim to believe in Christianity or God our Father and Creator. Yes, we must question our stand today on the very beliefs and principles of our forefathers. In fact there no longer is a stand. This is about the separation from God and systematic replacement of morality for extreme liberalism for conveniences at virtually any cost. Those men who wrote and believed in the rights of “man”: the rights of citizens of this country.

Let us look at the Declaration of Independence rationally and in good judgment. The following is an excerpt from that document that all men including those of various races and heritage have called upon in seeking recognition of their equality:

 IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator (God being the creator) with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life (Life being the first unalienable right), Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

 

Now notice our forefathers who founded and established the principles of our country referred to these principles as “truths” and as “self-evident” meaning obvious and without question. Also notice they did not say, endowed by God, but in fact went further and referred to God as our “Creator”. And what is the very first “right” specifically, stated? Is it not the unalienable right to life? “Unalienable” in this reference as in rights bestowed by God not to be alienated from them or dissected in part or selectively taken away from any human being.

 Our political representatives and our judicial system have assumed the authority and right to define what is acceptable morally through the institution of law merely for what is convenient; Abortion, same sex marriage, etc., etc. - Yes, as our representatives they are attacking recognition of God in any public forum as much as possible. On our behalf, they  pursue the complete removal of any audible or visual expressions of prayer to our Lord, God, in schools and government buildings to a degree that it is against the “law”, an infringement on others rights to practice their faith if such expressions may be realized by another person, but who are these "others"? approximately 2.2% of the world population denies the existence of God and approximately 80 percent of Americans claim to be Christian. The separation of church and government was a large part of the premise behind this movement but it was intentionally distorted in its true objective in order to accomplish this. Anyone who suggests otherwise is either very ill informed or deceitful in their argument.

 In the founding of our country, this separation was meant only to keep government from adopting one faith and forcing that faith on all citizens as it was in England before our independence. It was never meant to eliminate God from our founding principles. Before our independence, William Penn requested land from the King of England with the personal intention to provide a place where people of different beliefs could practice their faith without interference. This land was later named Pennsylvania.

Within the last 50 years through to today at the hands of those of government and most recently and profoundly our president, events have historically recorded our establishment and endorsement of laws providing our acceptance for numerous immoral and in some cases perverted practices not limited to the acceptance of no-fault divorce, same sex-marriage and casual abortion. These in themselves are the virtual destruction of the covenant of marriage, family and procreation.

What is abortion? Simply and truthfully it is the selective elimination of the most vulnerable of human life under the legal elements of murder. For convenience rather than the assuming of responsibility, we choose to brutally and sadistically take the life of a healthy fetus which realistically we know is a human being while arguing at what point one becomes “human” technically; as though we can determine when God would find it acceptable for us to terminate at leisure. Now, Considering our forefathers believed in God as our Creator as well as the charity, humility and morality taught in Scripture, let us consider what God has to say;

“Thus says the LORD, Your redeemer, who formed you from the womb: I am the LORD, who made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens; when I spread out the earth, who was with me?” (Isaiah Ch 44: 24)

 

“…For your own lifeblood, too, I will demand an accounting: from every animal I will demand it, and from man in regard to his fellow man I will demand an accounting for human life.” (Genesis CH 9: 5)

 

“Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth.” (Psalms 127)

 

President Obama suggested the legalization of casual abortions was supportive to each person’s dignity yet where is the dignity in carelessness or promiscuity which leads to the majority of these unwanted pregnancies… Where is the dignity in pregnancy outside of a marital relationship, and where in all earth is there dignity in the aborting or murder of human life or even supporting such practices? How does one justify such an accepted practice that now often results in multiple abortions as a form of birth control itself in place of abstaining or even a reasonable effort of self-control through self-respect? Isn’t the protection of human life historically recorded as part of our culture as well as an expression of one’s belief in God? Where also is dignity in the methods of abortion now sanctioned by the passing of laws by our most recent president? And we as the voting body elected these “representatives”. We have abandoned our own principles and God Himself for the convenience of irresponsibility.

 Our Governing body continues working diligently to eliminate the words “In God We Trust” from our currency. We are, in a growing number of our states, supporting the legalization of “same sex” marriages, which is in itself contradictory to science, nature and moral principles of this institution not to mention Scripture. And we accept barbaric means to pursue stem cell research. Many institutions including commercial businesses will not allow employees to say the Words “Merry Christmas” as a greeting but take full advantage of this event to commercialize and profit from it. Yet it still represents the Celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ on a world wide level whether some like it or not. And on it goes as if the time will never come that we will have to answer for the transgressions of the society we created.

The works of many past and present political representatives have served to support and promote materialism and greed while eroding the principles of God and what this country was founded upon. In many cases our government itself is governed by the most commercially influential Industries, not by the people for the people. We claim to be knowledgeable of our religious beliefs and in God but it is not evident nor do our beliefs reflect acceptance of what God teaches or desires of man. What respect can we demand when we promote marriage of the same sexes while approving the murder of new human life in the womb?

Finally, to those representatives who have and continue to support such bills and claim to be Christians, to be Christian one must believe and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and in so doing accept through living it, His word as it is proclaimed in the Gospels. Those who promote the idea that this country should recognize God and morality as an interference with democracy and then attend Church and seek to receive the Body and Blood of Jesus should consider the following;

 “… whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 11; 27)

The time has come for all Christians to recognize the responsibilities of their calling and reunite, living their lives once again according to our Heavenly Father and our Lord, Jesus Christ, supporting the return of morality to this nation before we are left to the consequences of our choices.

 Underlying all of this, we must remember one person has but one soul and their is no separation that enables the soul to reach salvation while the body defies the will of God.

There is no argument, no opinion, and no viewpoint… Only truth. Yet above all, God accepts those who seek to return to Him with a repentant heart.
