Turning Away From God
November 27, 2005
When a nation turns away from God, it’s leaders invariably reflect our refusal to be governed by His ‘eternal rules of order and right.' We—and they— seek to replace God’s overruling authority with the presumed authority of man. Immutable Laws & "Imperial Dictates"
By choosing to replace God’s immutable moral laws
with laws manufactured by those who have no
regard for the moral laws of God, activist judges
impose upon us all—against our will—the “imperial
dictates of individuals who declare by fiat that babies
may be executed, that God may not be
acknowledged, and that men may marry trees, dogs,
other men, or any other perversion of the
transcendent law of God.”
God Alone Defines Moral Law
Doug Philips, Founder and President of Vision
Forum recently said, “Only God can define marriage.
We may affirm and enforce His definition, but
Americans (including judges and elected officials) are
not at liberty even to presume that anything other
than His definition may govern.”
He supported his argument by stating, “Our common law, which finds its origin in Holy Scripture and is incorporated twice by reference into the United States Constitution, has long reflected this fact.
Transcendent Moral Laws Are Not Subject To Man's Nullification
Philips states that, "From the perspective of the true
rule of law governing this nation, it matters not
whether amendments pass or fail, whether the
Supreme Court rules favorably or negatively; no man
can change the legal definition of marriage, any more
than they can, by fiat, declare that babies may be
killed because they are unwanted, that Jews may be
gassed for being Jews, or that Christians may not be
allowed to exclusively worship the one true God of
Scripture.”
Judges Are 'Duty Bound' to Uphold the Moral Laws of God
Philips reminds us that, “All oath bound judges are
bound to keep their oaths to a law system
under God, to uphold the original intent of
the Founders when ruling on matters under the
jurisdiction of the Constitution, and to
oppose any ruling of man which pretends to
supplant the transcendent moral law of God with the
immoral law of man.”
Elected and non elected officials have the responsibility to uphold and obey the immutable laws of God, not alter them in order to impose their world view and beliefs upon we the people. And if they refuse, supporting instead, efforts to ‘supplant the transcendent moral law of God,' they should be removed from office for violating their oath, the will of the people and the rule of law.
'We The People' Are 'Duty Bound' to Protect and Preserve Godly Government
In a democratic republic, the people—and particularly
Christians—have the responsibility, and the right, to
defend and sustain the laws of God from those who
would ignore them.
On January 19th, 1796, Samuel Adams, Signer of the Declaration of Independence and “Father of the American Revolution” said, “The people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government and to reform, alter, or totally change the same when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it.”
Turning America Back To God
Dwight Eisenhower, 34th President of the
United
States said, “Freedom from fear and injustice and
oppression will be ours only in the measure that men
who value such freedom are ready to sustain its
possession—to defend it against every thrust
from
within and without.”
"Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.” Nehemiah 4:14
