The Pledge of Allegiance was written in the late 1800-s, 1892 I believe.

An interesting anecdote.

It is said this country was founded on Christianity even in the pledge of allegiance it says one nation under God. However I have yet to see any evidence of this being true, I mean if we were to test every law in the united states against the word of God I wonder how many of those laws would line up with scripture?

And as for people saying God wants you to vote for this person or whatever that is simply silly, God is in control and if he declares this person is to be elected for his purpose then it will happen he doesn't require our vote. Also it isn't this kingdom he is concerned about nor our kings

I have posted this before but with little or no feed back.

Christianity is the only faith based belief therefore it is not covered under religious rights.
Since our doctrine says that our creator will avenge and for us to be peaceful any acts seen as violent or disrupting is prosecuted.
Christianity is not a religion. We do not practice a certain ritual or rituals to maintain our beliefs.
We worship in spirit and truth. We do not need to outwardly pray. We don't need a temple or building to worship.
Though we are in the kingdom of God it is not yet seen.
We saints are totally different than any religious organizations.
Now some have formed organizations that are work related beliefs, under that guise they are protected by the laws of separation of church and state which have to follow a mandate.
That is the confusing issues of our time.
We will be called out from among them and probably will be labeled as haters because of our views on homosexuality. Adultery, fornication, abortion etc.

There are two main types of law in the world. Rulers law and peoples law. We seem to be flirting with rulers law now. Not a very smart way to go. Thomas Jefferson was a giant among men. He spent years and years studying law, history, politics, religion and so on. Jefferson’s years of study impressed a stranger to him so much he wrote:
“When he spoke of law, I thought he was a lawyer; when he talked
about mechanics, I was sure he was an engineer; when he got into
medicine, it was evident that he was a physician; when he discussed
theology, I was convinced he must be a clergyman; when he talked of
literature, I made up my mind that I had run against a college
professor who knew everything.”(William E. Curtis, The True Thomas
Jefferson, Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Company, 1901, pp. 358-59.)
We need to restore our understanding of the constitution. Take advantage of the vast knowledge and wisdom the founders left for us. Not turn our backs on it. Not move away from the truths they wrote about. We must reeducate ourselves of our history and our founders.
Just sayin……..
“Power always thinks… that it is doing God’s service when it is violating all his laws.”

Beware of the self/righteous forming the "new church" of men. They band together to categorize sin (making up their own laws) and the decrying the sinners insteac of loving the sinner and decrying the sin.

I suppose it is easier for them to do this than to revert to what their forefathers would be doing, huntin g for and burning witches.

Stay away from the witch hunters or you will become just as they are.

If you love, even your apparant enemies, you cover a multitude of sin.

13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (love), I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

[SUP]2 [/SUP]And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity (love), I am nothing.

[SUP]3 [/SUP]And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity (love), it profiteth me nothing.

[SUP]4 [/SUP]Charity (love) suffereth long, and is kind; charity (love) envieth not; charity (love) vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

[SUP]5 [/SUP]Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Charity (love) never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

[SUP]9 [/SUP]For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

[SUP]11 [/SUP]When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]And now abideth faith, hope, charity (love), these three; but the greatest of these is charity (love). 1Corinthians 13

[SUP]22 [/SUP]But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
