The Manhattan Declaration Debate. To Sign or Not To Sign.

I signed the Manhattan Declaration and believe it is great for people to sign that they will take a stand against the attacks of Christianity from the elite liberals and their empowered Democratic Party. We are rapidly losing ALL of our rights. Not just those of the Christian foundations. I agree there are bad elements to the “What Do I DO Next portion of the website, but it is separate from the Declaration.
If you gathered 10 professing Christians in your home you would more than likely have 10 different points of view on the Christian faith. The Declaration is not about uniting all faiths or saying all faiths lead to God. They absolutely do not. It is about uniting those of the Christian faith, albeit some are in error, to combat the legislation of the eradication of Christianity, our religious freedom, the lawful destruction of marriage, family values and the right to life of the unborn.
With all the Christians in this country there would be no way Obama could have been elected if they all voted with their spiritual conscience, yet all of our churches act independently of themselves and do nothing to unite as children of God to protect and stand for what is right in this country and we are absolutely getting our butts kicked by the enemy of Christ because of it.
All of us who believe in Christianity need to come together to voice our opinions loudly and take action on choosing candidates to vote out these Godless criminals running our country and put aside philosophical debates of the differences of faith for another forum. It is time to take action simply to protect our laws of the constitution that allows us to worship Jesus in the first place or all else will matter no more.

The way I see it some of us Disciple’s of Jesus who are more like Peter and willing to put up a fight. Wrong it may be, but in the end most Christians run, hide and deny when the heat is on. If risking a hair on their head is required, you get what you have now, a silent majority. Why vote? (Example: Obama, Pelosi, Clinton etc.) Their values are not in line with the word of God. The number one reason to vote is to pick a side. You will either stand for what is right or for what is wrong. If you stand on the sidelines it is as good as a vote for the bad. Jesus didn’t come to the earth to be a politician. Politics was not his purpose. However he spoke up and voiced his opinion, the truth, and they tried their best to stone him although he would only die the way he did, he was still human too and risked injury and had to escape. (Or call down angels) but he didn’t. Instead of remaining silent he took a risk to speak the truth. After all, the spoken word was the only vote they had in that time and in many cases they died for it much like hundreds of thousands of American soldiers did for what allows you the right to vote. (Or not) This was also true of black Americans who had no vote but only their unity, voices and civil disobedience of laws that opposed Christian values and humanity. This was truly one of mankind’s greatest achievements and examples of strength in unity behind a strong and courageous leader, and numbers against the most powerful of all peoples, the Anglo white Americans, and the most prejudice of people against black Americans. The civil rights movement was so effective because it was based on truth against the hard core passed down culture of ignorance and bias and they actually managed to change the hearts and minds of many white Americans by pointing out that all men are equal according to God, whom is no respecter of men. They also paid a steep price in spilled blood by taking a risk, a stand. Some argue against signing the Manhattan Declaration due to it being inclusive of new age denomination and factions of Christian denominations that are based on unbiblical principles. (And some are) But signing your name to the Manhattan Declaration does not mean you are endorsing any particular faith or denomination, only that you are willing to sign the document suggesting taking a stand for Christian principles and issue’s those principles encompass as purposed in your own heart. What is wrong with signing your name to your faith? Why not? God writes our names down in the Lamb’s book of Life because of our faith! Why can’t we sign a petition supporting Christianity? In today’s society, much like in the day of Jesus those in Authority were religious figures at the local level ({Sadducee} etc.} look at the words Jesus spoke to them. Not very kind were they?) And government (Godless Romans) ruling over all. We just haven’t got to the point yet that our opinions of our faith will have us hung on a cross upside down. But that day is quickly being ushered in by this current administration by all inclinations. The day is coming, that is if you believe in the book of Revelations. Like my friend Ian said, doing right firstly should be our guiding goal. Yet I believe you can do both. Otherwise let’s fold up and lie down and let them have their way with our well wishes. We will get there just as fast with the Christian’s settling for being happy to only debate faith and denominational differences amongst ourselves over who is holier. Catholics, Protestants, Islam and all other religions are simply that, Just religions. We all fall short of the Glory of God. What makes you a Christian is to believe that Jesus was born Son of God, Son of Man, lived sinless, died for our sins, was raised from the dead, and lives today and confess your sins and confess him as your lord and savior. Nothing else matters because anything else is only religion. I could live six thousand years trying to be a Christian and fail miserably. I can do nothing good without Jesus and can do nothing good on my own without him, It is only his mercy and forgiveness that allowed him to pay our debts of sin, past, present and future with his perfect and blameless blood. Nothing else matters. I know plenty of Catholics that believe that way also. We do have cultural, doctrinal and legalistic differences in how we worship God in our particular denominations of faith, but as long as we follow Jesus in his own words of how we must be saved by and through him and him alone the differences matter little. There will always be those who will distort the word of God to bend it to their own selfish desires.
Let’s agree to allow ourselves to judge Christianity by the fruit of the spirit that is produced and not judge the one who bears it because of the denomination they belong to. If they are Christians they will bear the fruits of one who is saved regardless that they are human and will make mistakes and sin. It is however time to set aside the temptation to squabble over petty differences that is humanly inherent in the Manhattan Declaration. This document does not require you to sign your name to any particular faith under the name of Christianity. It is only intended to unite Christians to take a stand against those who oppose Christianity and wish to attack our liberty to practice it and also those issues and laws which violate our principles. It is time that we individually separate ourselves from politicians and legislations of law that oppose Christianity and the truths and values God has instructed us to uphold. Get off the fence of picking and choosing Candidates who are willing to promise or provide us with a selfish benefit of personal gain in return for your compromise on issues which violate or contradict the word of God. If God said it was wrong through his Holy inspired word of God it is wrong now in the present times. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He is never wrong and his word is always current and applicable to the present times and issues before us. How can we say we stand for God and cast a vote you know opposes God’s word or even purposely withholding a vote to oppose it? You have the freedom of will to do as you please and God gives you that freedom. However he also holds you responsible for your actions and sins. Remember that faith without works is dead. Let your Christian faith and spiritual conscience guide you in your vote.

Allah in, Jesus Out!

Well now, we asked for change and that’s exactly what we got.

Only the changes have done nothing to help the common working American. It isn’t enough that our government goes into the auto making and banking business, stealing the hard earned American money and spreading it across the land to the non-contributing factions to be blown up their noses, send our children to two wars against the threat of terrorism while Obama turns the key Guantanamo Bay releasing war combatants to our courts reserved for our citizens and giving them constitutional rights to boot.

No, those changes did nothing for me Mr. President.

I am too exhausted from work to list all of the atrocities committed by this foreign government in the white house as I don’t  have legions of empty headed zombies called ACORN to do my dirty work for me. So I’ll blow most of my steam on the latest.

Who are you Obama?

What are you Obama?

Are you a Muslim?

Are you a Christian? Loll.

Sorry, I had to laugh at that last question. It seems that you honor the Muslim holiday yet you and your family do not personally celebrate Christmas. Is that true Obama? The reports say that you don’t even give Christmas gifts to your children. Is that true Obama?

Why is it that you, your administration and your fellow Democratic sheep hate Jesus so much?

What did he do that was so offensive to you?

Was it that he was born of a virgin, lived a blameless and sinless life and was tortured and unjustly murdered so that you may have eternal life?

Or, is it as you say, just a story of a child?

   "Tonight, we celebrate a story that is as beautiful as it is simple.  The story of a child born far from home to parents guided only by faith, but who would ultimately spread a message that has endured for more than 2,000 years – that no matter who we are or where we are from, we are each called to love one another as brother and sister.  While this story may be a Christian one, its lesson is universal.  It speaks to the hope we share as a people.  And it represents a tradition that we celebrate as a country – a tradition that has come to represent more than any one holiday or religion, but a season of brotherhood and generosity to our fellow citizens.” Obama.

Who told you this version? Nancy Pelosi while you sat in Harry Reid's lap near the fireplace?

 Why is Allah in and Jesus is out?

Why do you and the majority of your parties minions claim to be of the Protestant faith and yet do your best to legislate any semblance of Christianity from our country?  You forbid God in our schools, court houses, other government buildings and stadiums yet slobber all over yourselves with glee at the mention of any anti-Christ religion or movement.

Now it is the Christmas season, our country’s most favorite time of the year to celebrate the birth of OUR SAVIOR and LORD and you choose to set the example to trivialize the celebration of His birth. Your hypocrite party members unite nation wide to curtail any public celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth by forbidding his followers to display religious symbols in his honor. Nativity Scenes are outlawed and banned but I am most assured that the abortion factories across the states are open and very busy churning out the cold blooded murder that occurs daily between the walls there. Yes, I am quite sure you see no harm in that. But God, forbid, or in your case, Allah forbid that any child in school sings Holy Night. No, that just might offend someone who is Muslim, or Atheist. So in with Allah and out with Jesus so that the most very few out of all the majority of Americans won’t have their precious little feelings hurt.

God Love them.

Well let me tell you something Mr. President.

THIS IS A CHRISTIAN NATION and unlike you and your spineless followers, we will continue to celebrate Christmas with or without your nod of approval because you are not God like your voters believe you are.

 We are American’s and most of us are Christians. We are the kind of Christians that do not conveniently put aside our beliefs to push legislation and agenda’s that oppose the true word of God. And we will be at the polls very soon to show you what real CHANGE is all about.

Oh, and by the way, 

Merry Christmas!

What if American’s Voted With Their Spiritual Conscience?

In my last post I tried to explain what history has taught us about leaders of nations who twist their religion or belief system to fit their own political agenda or personal power trip in order to enslave the people under the guise of religious belief. I also outlined the dangers therein of the need of separation of church and state, and how the new America cast off the shackles of state sponsored or mandated religion, and sought to allow the individual to worship God as their conscience or spirit self led them without threat of persecution from their government.

Over the last several decades we have had the notion that politics and religion must be kept separate beat against our brow so much that we missed the point and deliberate meaning of the phrase, when in fact nothing could be further from the truth. The meaning of the phrase only meant that the government could not require its citizen’s to believe and worship in a religion that the government chose for the citizen’s to follow and require them to practice it under threat.

If you have ever visited Washington, D.C., our nation’s capital, you would be hard pressed not to see so many references to the God of Christianity, scriptures from the Bible, and quotations of bold faith from founding fathers in which have been written in historical documents, carved beautifully in stone of Statues and the walls of magnificent buildings of historical purpose. It is absolutely everywhere enshrined in the fabulous and timeless architecture of our past.

The ludicrous notion that our country was not founded on the bedrock of Christian principles just will not hold water. There is no doubt of it even if you ignored the tremendous amount of recorded memoirs and journals of those who established this nation.

The thought has caused me to wonder what would happen if American’s voted according to their personal religious beliefs? Would their votes on the issue’s stand contrary to what their own personal faith would require? Would their votes on the issues be in line with the scriptures of their belief? Would American’s even cast a vote to elect a politician that does not believe the way they do?

Why?

I always hear people who are suppose to be Christians try to make the flimsy excuse of separation of church and state when they try to defend being in favor as such issues as abortion, homosexuality, etc. etc. etc. It seems to me that a person’s moral and spiritual guidance would lead him to oppose supporting such legislative proposals when it comes in conflict with their own personal belief system.

It also seems to me that people pick and choose what they will support and quickly brush aside or compromise their very own beliefs in order to progress a candidate or issue.

What would this country be like today if people backed up their belief in God, the teachings of the Bible, the teachings of Christ?

Would our children be able to learn about creation in their class rooms? Would they be able to pray to the one and only real God? If God had not been kicked out of schools would there be as much violence and death in them today?  Would our prisons be as overcrowded? Would our streets be any safer? Would families be any stronger?

Should people continue to keep God out of our decisions while choosing which side of a moral issue we are on and which candidate we should support?
