Hello Pwcca ~
It matters NOT what the Constitution says....you brought that up, if you recall.
I brought up the fact that you brought up the assertation that the U.S. is founded on biblical law. I'm simply pointing out that this is not true.
Obviously you feel that the U.S.
should be founded on biblical law and that's fair enough. I don't agree with you but you're certainly most welcome to your beliefs, as we all are. My only interest in this thread is pointing out the falsehood that the U.S. was founded on biblical law. It was not founded on religion at all. That is all I'm saying here - nothing more, nothing less.
I know for a certainty that the Bible is the inerrant/infallible Word of God and it tells (believers) in Daniel 4:17 KJV (Regarding Daniel's interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar's dream)...."This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones; to the intent that the living may know that the MOST HIGH GOD ruleth in the kingdom of men, and GIVETH IT TO WHOMSOEVER HE WILL...."
In Daniel Chapter 5 King Belshazzar saw a vision of handwriting on the wall. For your information, you can read Daniel's interpretation for yourself Chapter 5 beginning in verses 16, +22-30.
Referring King Belshazzar to the outcome of his father's dream (King Nebuchadnezzar) , Daniel told him when his heart became arrogant and hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and stripped of his glory. He was driven away from people and given the mind of an animal; he lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like cattle;, etc, "....until he acknowledged that: THE MOST HIGH GOD IS SOVEREIGN OVER THE KINGDOMS OF MEN AND, [HE] SETS OVER THEM ANYONE HE WISHES."
Back to King Belshazzar's dream of the Writing on the wall.....because Belshazzar did not honor the God who holds in his hand his life and all his ways,....that very night King Belshazzar of the Babylonians was slain.
That's all well and good, but it has nothing to do with saying the U.S. was founded on biblical law. I recognize your desire to have the existing government backed by biblical scripture. I am not contesting against that desire. I am only pointing out the fact that the U.S. government was expressly
not founded on the holy bible.
Pwcca, if you are not a Christian, as were many of our founding fathers, you will not believe nor understand this.
I'm not certain I follow. What won't I understand exactly?
I refuse to debate this matter with you any further.
No need to call it a debate. I'm just pointing out the fact that the U.S., according to the First Amendment, was not founded on religion or the holy bible.
