Oaths, Fears, and The Constitution
« on: April 13, 2025, 12:26:39 AM »
My only oath is to God and an effort to be better today than yesterday. At 75 years old, much of any fears of one thing or another have dissipated. As to the Constitution, I believe it to be a man written peice of literature designed as a government guideline on how to collectively conduct business as a country.
Would I willingly die for the Constitution? Absolutely not. Would I die protecting freedom? Sure I would. But not because its in the Constitution,  but because its whats right.

Over the years I have watched this country evolve into a what's best described as a mess. Men letting their hair grow out and suddenly becoming women. Women wearing britches and miraculously becoming men. Grown people throughout the United States (including Washington) agreeing with them. AND, bothsides compromising on killing unborn babies.:-\

I've also noticed that self proclaimed patriots pick and choose their Constitutional Hills to die on but, seldom if ever, die on them.

Proverbs Chapter 25 verse 26: A righteous man falling down before the wicked is a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.

My take on that scripture is: Pick a side! Are you for Good or Evil? There is no in between gray area.

I don't need a Constitution, a Bill of Rights, a flag, or any other symbol, or a political party to dictate my worldly direction.

I've taken oaths in the past but, it was only to reassure the department heads as my own mind had already decided to take on the commitment.

I don't agree with you but,  I will defend your right to the death to say it! Actually, no I won't. If your speech is stupid, and or, against my personal beliefs? Good luck!

My beliefs, and my Constitution, can be found between Genesis, and Revelation.

I fully support Trumps efforts but, in 4 years he'll be part of history and madness will still be here. The question is, which will prevail till the end?

Read Daniel first.  It'll help you with Revelation.  :-\

My point here was possibly missed by everyone. The Constitution is far better than other countries, however in todays environment, it is becoming a double edged sword. 1st Amendment religious rights recognizes ISLAM.

  I tend to agree withnyou that the way the constitution is being used (or misused). is distressing.  I tend to see the problemas the deterioration of  moral values among the general public.  There was a time when Americans for the largest part, shred the same values, beliefs and God.  However,
  as happens with many institutions and mechanical devices, by lack of maintenance, attention and sincere efforts to preserve, ... they wear out !

   Our people have been careless with preserving the spirit of honestvalues and Godliness that our founders treasured so dearly. Such is the glue that
   binds nations together as a cohesive people.

      "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other"
  ...was made by John Adams, when he wrote this in a letter to the Massachusetts Militia on October 11, 1798. 
If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)

And that was my point all along. My allegiance is to God Himself. Only He can save me. Not the United States, nor the misused Constitution.
If I am morally centered, right and wrong will naturally align with the Constitution, but God is first.
