God and the U.S. Constitution

There has been an ongoing debate over whether the United States
 Constitution and the laws of the United States government as to whether
they are based on Biblical principles or the ideologies of innovative
deists and other constitutions of other countries. The truth is that the
constitution took many months of careful deliberation by Christian leaders
who believed that the laws of God were the only standards to rule a country.
The U.S. Constitution is the only document to achieve this which
      other countries have followed its example of the democracy and Biblical
      principles that influenced the building of governments worldwide.
   
      The following are statements that were made by our forefathers who signed
      the U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence and were great leaders
      of the American Revolutionary War. In their unprecedented testimonials are
      proofs that the laws are formed from God’s commandments, precepts, and
      statutes and the Gospel of Jesus Christ and no other source are they
      derived from.
   
      It cannot be emphasized too strongly nor too often that this great nation
      was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but
      on the gospel of Jesus Christ. — Patrick Henry, leader of the American
      Revolution
   
      It would be peculiarly improper to omit in this first official act, my
      fervent supplications to that Almighty Being . . . No people can be bound
      to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand which conducts the affairs of
      men than the people of the United States . . . . We ought to be no less
      persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven, can never be expected on a
      nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven
      itself has ordained. — George Washington, first presidential inaugural
      address
   
      The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were . .
      . the general Principles of Christianity . . . I will avow that I then
      believed and now believe, that those general Principles of Christianity
      are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God; and
      that those Principles of Liberty, are as unalterable as human nature. —
      John Adams, second U. S. President
   
      The highest glory of the American Revolution was this; it connected, in
      one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government and the
      principles of Christianity. — John Quincy Adams, sixth U.S. President
   
      Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers. — John Jay,
      First Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America
      and later served as Governor of New York retired from duties to become
      gentleman farmer.
   
      We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the
      capacity of mankind for self-government upon the capacity of each and all
      of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves to sustain ourselves
      according to the Ten Commandments of God. — James Madison, U.S. President
   
      Our constitution was constructed from the ethics of the Holy Bible. If
      there were any questions concerning the originals of the writing of the
      U.S. constitution the answers are from the following scriptures:
      Exodus 18:21-22, Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able
      men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness, and place such
      over them, to be rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of
      tens: And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be that
      every great matter they shall bring thee, but every small matter they
      shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the
      burden with thee. (Election of Governing Officials)
      Isaiah 33:22, For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the
      LORD is our king; he will save us. (Our three branches of
      government-Judicial, Legislative, Executive)
      Ezra 7:24, Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and
      Levites, singers, porters (gatekeepers), Nethinims, or ministers of this
      house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom
      upon them. (Tax exemption for churches)
      Ezekiel 18:4-5, 7-8, 12, 16, 17, Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul
      of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth,
      it shall die. But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
      And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge,
      hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and
      hath covered
      the naked with a garment; He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither
      hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath
      executed true judgment between man and man, Hath walked in my statutes,
      and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is
      just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD. Hath oppressed the poor
      and needy, hath
      spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his
      eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination, Neither hath oppressed any,
      hath not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath
      given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered
      the naked with a garment, That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that
      hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath
      walked in my statutes; he shall not
      die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live. (Freedom from
      oppression)
      This is where we get all our laws; this was how our representatives are
      elected into the government. Our freedoms and liberty comes from the Words
      of God. How can anyone say otherwise? Or were our forefathers just deists
      who thought God was not involved in human affairs? Remember Patrick
      Henry’s statement about the established laws that were made by Christians,
      and not religionists. It was these laws from the Bible that give a firm
      unpenetrating foundation that no other religion is to control the
      governing of the American people. When God inspired men to write the Bible
      centuries ago He had in mind the needs of man’s existence.
   
      I happened upon a letter written to the editor of the local newspaper the
      writer declaring that the “Constitution Has No Mention of God.” I found
      that the writer had a lack of knowledge and understanding including
      little, if none, U.S. history or Christian history education. The evidence
      of Christian foundation that helped build the United States of America
      began at Jamestown, Virginia in 1607, fourteen years before Plymouth Rock,
      Massachusetts. Not only is there a U.S. Constitution but also all fifty
      states have their own constitution. They all have reference to God. The
      First Amendment doesn’t mention a “wall of separation between church and
      state.” This is due to bad history that breeds confusion and anarchy. The
      testimonies of presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson support
      this. In 1892, the U.S. Supreme Court studied for ten years documents
      pertaining to the foundation of God’s word in our society. By unanimous
      vote all came into agreement. As Psalm 33:8-12 declares, “Let all the
      earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of
      Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and stood fast. The Lord
      brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the
      people of no effect. The counsel of the Lord stands forever. The plans of
      His heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
      and the people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance.” America’s
      foundation is being torn apart by rampant sin, addictions, radical
      homosexual movement, and anti-God agendas in the government. I choose to
      pledge allegiance to the righteousness of one nation under God, and the
      American constitution than a few anti-Americans who want to destroy it
      forever. Just as Jesus Christ died to make all men free, my hope is for a
      free nation under God. Without the U.S. Constitution, Declaration of
      Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Northwest Ordinance our future
      will be blotted out from the pages of history the same as ancient Rome
      succumbed to centuries ago. Civilizations will come and go but the Lord
      and His Word will live on forever.
   
      For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from
      the law of sin and death. – Romans 8:2
   
      He (Yahveh) that spared not his own Son (Christ Jesus), but delivered him
      up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? –
      Romans 8:32
