I read on a post that Christians should not be in the government, due to the “Separation of Church and State.” Ignorance is defined as, “lack of knowledge or information; lack of education.” The Bible states in Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (KJV) The Bible also states in Proverbs 29:2, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” (KJV)

Knowledge is easily obtainable in our modern day society.

But some people, just want an excuse to freely sin and to freely make decisions that will continue to enable their lifestyle.

Why have Christians in the government, if they will act contrary to someone wanting an abortion? But in ALL honesty, I partly blame the church for our modern day Liberalism.

A lot of pastors are not preaching what they need to about politics!

Why? For the same reason as in the above first sentence. They say they can’t, due to the “Separation of Church and State!” If they had actually done their homework, they would know exactly where that phrase came from. Here, let me help them out.

Jefferson’s Letter to the Danbury Baptists
The Final Letter, as Sent

“To messers. Nehemiah Dodge, Ephraim Robbins, & Stephen S. Nelson, a committee of the Danbury Baptist association in the state of Connecticut.

Gentlemen

The affectionate sentiments of esteem and approbation which you are so good as to express towards me, on behalf of the Danbury Baptist association, give me the highest satisfaction. my duties dictate a faithful and zealous pursuit of the interests of my constituents, & in proportion as they are persuaded of my fidelity to those duties, the discharge of them becomes more and more pleasing.

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, 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, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.

I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection & blessing of the common father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves & your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem.“

Th Jefferson
Jan. 1. 1802.

Thomas Jefferson made it so the government would not interfere in our right to worship God.

It did not mean that the church could not preach politics from the pulpits.

It also did not mean that Christians could not be in politics.

For example: George Washington – a God fearing man. He is shown here praying at Valley Forge.

Gettysburg Address

“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

Abraham Lincoln
November 19, 1863; Library of Congress

Prayer used to be a part of the Continental Congress.

“O Lord our Heavenly Father, high and mighty King of kings, and Lord of lords, who dost from thy throne behold all the dwellers on earth and reignest with power supreme and uncontrolled over all the Kingdoms, Empires and Governments; look down in mercy, we beseech Thee, on these our American States, who have fled to Thee from the rod of the oppressor and thrown themselves on Thy gracious protection, desiring to be henceforth dependent only on Thee. To Thee have they appealed for the righteousness of their cause; to Thee do they now look up for that countenance and support, which Thou alone canst give. Take them, therefore, Heavenly Father, under Thy nurturing care; give them wisdom in Council and valor in the field; defeat the malicious designs of our cruel adversaries; convince them of the unrighteousness of their Cause and if they persist in their sanguinary purposes, of own unerring justice, sounding in their hearts, constrain them to drop the weapons of war from their unnerved hands in the day of battle!

Be Thou present, O God of wisdom, and direct the councils of this honorable assembly; enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundation. That the scene of blood may be speedily closed; that order, harmony and peace may be effectually restored, and truth and justice, religion and piety, prevail and flourish amongst the people. Preserve the health of their bodies and vigor of their minds; shower down on them and the millions they here represent, such temporal blessings as Thou seest expedient for them in this world and crown them with everlasting glory in the world to come. All this we ask in the name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy Son and our Savior.

Amen.“

Even the Bible states in Isaiah 9:6, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.” (NIV) The child of course, is Jesus. So, if the government is on His shoulders, how come pastors cannot preach about the government from their pulpits? They claim they will be put in jail. Under what law? What law is broken if they were to do that? I read nothing about in Thomas Jefferson’s letter that politics cannot be preached in a church. It truly states basically that the government will not interfere in, once again, our right to freedom of worship. It amazes me, how down through the ages of time, that the true intent of this letter has been hidden. But yet, somehow the words, “Separation of Church and State,” has been used as a tool to stop politics from being preached from pulpits. The entire meaning has been misconstrued to meet modern day ideals. “Misconstrued” is defined as, “interpret (something, especially a person’s words or actions) wrongly.“

The entire interpretation has been twisted as an excuse, to not preach the truth of what is taking place in the government.

If pastors would preach truth, Christians and Evangelicals would not be voting for Biden!!!

I was told in the church I used to attend that, “Trump is a joke.” Yet, he isn’t the one who is killing babies. I can only speculate, but I do believe that millions of Christians and Evangelicals voted for Biden. Why? It is because many churches in modern day America are too soft with the Word of God, and too afraid to speak the truth. This is why I partially blame them for the downfall of America.

The Word of God needs to be within the walls of the government.

God was once honored in our American government. The Declaration of Independence; the Constitution of the United States; and other founding documents were once respected, from both sides of aisles. There are God-fearing men and women in our government now who are fighting the good fight of faith, to help restore Him back . But here, let me also give you this little gem from President Clinton himself.

July 12, 1995

Memorandum for the Secretary of Education, the Attorney General

Subject: Religious Expression in Public Schools

I share the concern and frustration that many Americans feel about situations where the protections accorded by the First Amendment are not recognized or understood. This problem has manifested itself in our Nation’s public schools. It appears that some school officials, teachers and parents have assumed that religious expression of any type is either inappropriate, or forbidden altogether, in public schools.

As our courts have reaffirmed, however, nothing in the First Amendment converts our public schools into religion-free zones, or requires all religious expression to be left behind at the schoolhouse door. While the government may not use schools to coerce the consciences of our students, or to convey official endorsement of religion, the government’s schools also may not discriminate against private religious expression during the school day.

I have been advised by the Department of Justice and the Department of Education that the First Amendment permits—and protects—a greater degree of religious expression in public schools than many Americans may now understand. The Departments of Justice and Education have advised me that, while application may depend upon specific factual contexts and will require careful consideration in particular cases, the following principles are among those that apply to religious expression in our schools:

Student prayer and religious discussion: The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment does not prohibit purely private religious speech by students. Students therefore have the same right to engage in individual or group prayer and religious discussion during the school day as they do to engage in other comparable activity. For example, students may read their Bibles or other scriptures, say grace before meals, and pray before tests to the same extent they may engage in comparable nondisruptive activities. Local school authorities possess substantial discretion to impose rules of order and other pedagogical restrictions on student activities, but they may not structure or administer such rules to discriminate against religious activity or speech.

Generally, students may pray in a nondisruptive manner when not engaged in school activities or instruction, and subject to the rules that normally pertain in the applicable setting. Specifically, students in informal settings, such as cafeterias and hallways, may pray and discuss their religious views with each other, subject to the same rules of order as apply to other student activities and speech. Students may also speak to, and attempt to persuade, their peers about religious topics just as they do with regard to political topics. School officials, however, should intercede to stop student speech that constitutes harassment aimed at a student or a group of students.

Students may also participate in before or after school events with religious content, such as “see you at the flag pole” gatherings, on the same terms as they may participate in other noncurriculum activities on school premises. School officials may neither discourage nor encourage participation in such an event.

The right to engage in voluntary prayer or religious discussion free from discrimination does not include the right to have a captive audience listen, or to compel other students to participate. Teachers and school administrators should ensure that no student is in any way coerced to participate in religious activity.“

This does not sound like our American schools today. But unless this document is brought out, discrimination will continue. Children have a legal right to pray in school and to wear religious items or clothes.

“Student garb: Students may display religious messages on items of clothing to the same extent that they are permitted to display other comparable messages. Religious messages may not be singled out for suppression, but rather are subject to the same rules as generally apply to comparable messages. When wearing particular attire, such as yarmulkes and head scarves, during the school day is part of students’ religious practice, under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act schools generally may not prohibit the wearing of such items.

I hereby direct the Secretary of Education, in consultation with the Attorney General, to use appropriate means to ensure that public school districts and school officials in the United States are informed, by the start of the coming school year, of the principles set forth above.“

Yet, children are being sent home if they wear the name Jesus on their clothes. They are not allowed to get diplomas, if they go by their own convictions and say His name and in their speeches. IT IS AN OUTRAGE and has been for quite sometime.

Lastly, the free-Palestine protests stating that babies are being “beheaded,” and “burnt.” This is extremely loathing. Are not many of these same people for abortion right here in America? You know, the same country that does the same horror – also to innocent lives? Aborted babies have their limbs cut off; they are burnt and beheaded and ripped from their mothers womb. But here it is called, “Free choice” and “Women’s Rights.” Over there, it is murder to the 100th degree. Then we have these same protestors blocking a “Pride” parade. Are there not “Queers for Palestine?” So, they would be on the same team as the protestors right? The word that comes to mind is, “derangement!” It is defined as, “insanity; disarrangement; disorder; the state of being completely unable to think clearly or behave in a controlled way, especially because of mental illness.” I like the word, “disarrangement.”

It is like their brain cells are not where they are supposed to be,

OR THEY ARE BEING CONTROLLED BY SOMETHING ELSE!
