Protecting
Our Constitution
One
of the reasons I am running for president as a Republican is because
I believe they believe in this country, as it was founded. I also
believe they have lost their way and have become misguided. It is my
hope to gain their ear on the issues that affect the nation and
threaten our true identity as a place where all people can live
together in peace and harmony. I believe in this country and I know
what we need to make it great again.
But,
many in the party, even while saying they want to protect our nation
and the constitution, are seeking to undermine the very essence of
that constitution. A new movement is afoot to add a specific
definition to the constitution of what is a marriage. Perhaps, if
this was just a ploy to make life miserable for homosexuals, I could see
it happening. But, it is not. It is an effort to establish a national
religion.
There
are those who say we already have a national religion and this nation
has Christian roots. I am not going to argue with them. The founding
fathers of this nation knew their Bible. In fact, they knew it so
well that they founded a government based on that knowledge.
Specifically, they knew that JESUS never called HIS people to try to
control other people. They knew that HE never suggested that they
bully those who disagreed with HIM or them. They saw what happened
when the church got control of government is Europe and England, and
they forged a document to ensure that could never happen here. But,
there is more to this.
Because,
this effort is not just an attack on the right to pursue happiness.
This is an effort to silence every Christian who disagrees with a
particular doctrine. Even those Justices that have argued on behalf
of Christian influence in our laws, have acknowledged that the
constitution was written to ensure that one specific denomination, or
doctrine, was not preferred (or made into law) by our government.
They
do this by saying that the other churches are not worthy to be called
Christian. Yet, what is the greater sin? To accept homosexual
marriage, or to do something in the name of JESUS that JESUS never
said to do? JESUS never said to tear apart a nation. HE said to be
peacemakers.
Yet,
this is where we are now. There are Christians who want to undermine
the very foundations of our nation to force their opinions and wants
on all those who disagree with them. This is the very thing our
constitution is supposed to ensure cannot happen.
I
do not know why we can't all just live in peace. I do not know why so
many Christians have rejected the teachings and plans of JESUS. I do
not know what happened to “Live in peace with all men”. But, this
attitude and these actions are killing our nation and destroying the
very peace that was intended for its citizens.
If
we want to see an end of same sex unions, we need to do the way JESUS
said. There is no power in government do do this. There is only the
power of GOD. That power is in how many Christians follow the
teachings and plans JESUS set down, not in government and courts. The
power of the Christian church is not in government.
Please,
no matter how you feel about homosexuals getting married, it is not
worth destroying this nation, and our constitution, for you to have
your own way.
LOVE
NEVER DEMANDS ITS OWN WAY

Corinthians Chapter 13)
