  @Hova You wouldn’t even understand. How about, you continue listening to that degenerate, sleazeball, and your idol, Jay-Z, and I’ll continue reading the bible, and learning history.

  @Hova LOL. If God hadn’t said, Don’t Murder, atheists would be saying, What kind of God doesn’t prohibit murder? You all love to nitpick and mock. Howbeit, God said in his own Word, that many of these laws are known in our own hearts, that we may be without excuse. But you go ahead and continue ridiculing, albeit ignorantly, and taking things out of context..

  A cover letter, dated in Philadelphia, July 6, 1776, was attached to the Declaration of Independence, as it was sent to the British authorities, wherein John Hancock states:

  “Gentlemen, Altho it is not possible to forsee the consequences of human actions, yet it is nevertheless a duty we owe ourselves and posterity in all our public councils to decide in the best manner we are able and to trust the event to That Being who governs both causes and events, so as to bring about his own determinations. Impressed with this sentiment, and at the same time fully convinced that our affairs will take a more favorable turn, The Congress have judged it necessary to dissolve all connection between Great Britain and the American Colonies, and to declare them free and independent States as you will perceive by the enclosed Declaration, which I am directed to transmit to you.”

  “The General hopes and trusts that every officer and man will endeavor to live and act as becomes a Christian soldier defending the dearest rights and liberties of his country.” General Order, (9 July 1776) George Washington

  King James was not known as a bisexual. That is a desperate claim his adversaries threw out with no evidence, in order to discredit him and his work.

  I think you’ve misunderstood scripture here. The new covenant freely gives salvation to all those who call upon the name of Christ, and put faith in him. Those who receive his spirit are servants of righteousness and sin no more. That means they don’t commit iniquity, ergo, they don‘t break God’s commandments.

  BrotherEd great post. Unfortunately, TheThirdArchon is too high minded to even consider anything as simple and non complex as that. He has an ego so high up his own… Well, let’s just say, he just about always spouts bul… Um, he’s a self righteous, obnoxious, incoherent fool…

  The renowned Constitutional scholar, Henry Black (1860-1927), author of Black’s Law Dictionary, and editor of The Constitutional Review from 1917 to 1927, recognized and acknowledged America’s Christian foundations. In his Handbook of American Constitutional Law (2nd ed. 1897, 3rd ed. 1910, 4th ed. 1927), he stated,

  “…that many of our best civil and social institutions, and the most important to be preserved in a free and civilized state, are founded upon the Christian religion, or upheld and strengthened by its observance; that the whole purpose and policy of the law assume that we are a nation of Christians, and while toleration is the principle in religious matters, the laws are to recognize the existence of that system of faith, and our institutions are to be based on that assumption ; that those who are in fact Christians have a right to be protected by law against wanton interference with the free and undisturbed practice of their religion and against malicious attacks upon its source or authority, calculated and intended to affront and wound them ; and that the prevalence of a sound morality among the people is essential to the preservation of their liberties and the permanence of their institutions, and to the success and prosperity of government, and the morality which is to be fostered and encouraged by the state is Christian morality, and not such as might exist in the supposititious “state of nature” or in a pagan country.”

  @moussiagilda Wow. You’re so misinformed.

  Jesus said, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments HANG ALL the law and the prophets.”

  Man was put on Earth. Man has six days to labor, and earn a living. God has commanded that on the seventh day, Man set apart time to acknowledge and remember his Creator. Holy in this case means to set apart or sanctify for a certain or special purpose.

  The Ten Commandments are the greatest, most simple, set of Laws ever given to Man. Any society that respects these will learn to uphold our God given rights, families, property, and show forth piety, justice, honesty, and accountability.

  @mastice I don’t consider the Ten Commandments necessarily, or exclusively, religious. At the founding of this nation, commandments 1-4 were very well respected, even among non religious people. Our nation has always acknowledged a Supreme Being, and taken a day of rest, for the purpose of attending divine service, whether in public or private life.

  On May 2, 1778, General George Washington issued these orders to his troops at Valley Forge:

  “The Commander-in-Chief directs that Divine service be performed every Sunday at 11 o’clock, in each Brigade which has a Chaplain. Those Brigades which have none will attend the places of worship nearest to them. It is expected that officers of all ranks will, by their attendance, set an example for their men. While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest Glory to laud the more distinguished Character of Christian. The signal instances of Providential goodness which we have experienced and which have now almost crowned our labors with complete success demand from us in a peculiar manner the warmest returns of gratitude and piety to the Supreme Author of all good.”

  The Ten Commandments DO matter.

  Exodus 32:16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.

  Matthew 22:40 On these two commandments HANG ALL the law and the prophets.

  Mark 12:3 There is none other commandment greater than these.

  Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

  Keep his Commandments!
