The Point to be made
According to Jesus Christ only God, by Christ, gives freedom,
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue [live in] my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free…36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Does a government or law give us freedom? Not according to Jesus Christ! How then do we keep our God given freedom. Christ says by living it. What then is the purpose of our first amendments? Do they give us freedom? If they do then God is wrong. Do they defend our freedom? If they do then we are governments servants, and they our masters and benefactor. Or could it be that amendments help us keep our God given freedom, if so, how? According to those who wrote those amendments, and also demanded there addition to the constitution, it’s by restricting the government.
Preamble to the Bill of rights…in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its [the Federal government] powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added….
We all do not agree on everything, and some people try to take from others their life, liberty, and or property. Free men can not live together with thieves or murders. So we need some government. If Christ is right, to be free we need to live his words. Then logically, if we are going to be free, our government, which we need, can not be allowed to impede, restrict or prevent us from living the Word of God. How do we make such a government?
