My daddy led me into joining the cub scouts and the boy scouts. We learned some good things. All my relatives, aunts and uncles and cousins, were raised with good ideas being put in their head.
Things like loyalty, bravery, being prepared, true, honest, .........
Well, it is out of loyalty to my father, mother, and their families who all helped raise me by showing me love and the good things they could teach or instill into me.
Most of all the men in both sides of the family had fought in wars.
My father's father fought and served from China to Mexico and Germany and France.
He came home with machine gun riddled legs, a six foot four man on crutches. Later he got a patch over one eye from a steel splinter coming off a saw blade in a lumber mill where he worked after WWI.
My dad, and his brothers saw service during WWII and Korea.
Those wars, police actions, U.N. action in Korea took their toll on the men and their family. On the children from not having a dad around. On the wife. And even after the war part was over sometimes there were after effects, physical or in the mind and heart. All of these things effected the whole family.
Which is to say, people paid a price. A high price. For what did they pay?
They all thought they were paying the price for maintaining the nation to which they pledged allegiance.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
and to the republic for which it stands
one nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Something worth knowing is the meaning of the republic as used here and in the Constitution where it says we are guaranteed a republican form of government.
Noah Webster wrote an explanation of this republican form of government as used in the Constitution. The word republic meant a nation formed under a governing body of law, and that law so clearly recognized then was specified in the Declaration of Independence. The laws of nature and of nature's God. And in another place, the Supreme Judge of the Universe is referenced in the Declaration. The whole judeo-christian frame-work was inherited by America through it's European and English roots. Common-law was established without question. The legal language of our founding documents are defined in the British common-law. Britain certainly considered the laws of God to be pre-emptory over any other man made law. And so did early American's. This is amply shown by the law books written from 1600 through 1800. Blackstone and Storey being two huge names in the field of law whose texts continually acknowledge the absolute law of God Almighty.
But these understandings of law and therefore of justice have disappeared today. Senators have laughed at the idea of absolute law, and supreme court justices as well.
At the great judgment day, they will discover what they willingly denied, that God is God.
It is in loyalty to those who raised me, that I fight as I can for the same things for which they also fought. Even as they had hoped their children might not have to face what they faced so I too desire that my children and theirs do not have to face a confrontation with some force trying to rule the world according to standards different from the laws of nature and of nature's God. The Supreme Judge of the Universe knows that an end-time is coming, indeed fast approaching, when those with control of vast fortunes traded around the world will be trying to protect and enhance their positions by putting all others subservient to their power.
American schools no longer teach the little children what the original idea of the republic was. A nation founded under the laws of God is an idea absent from new history books for public schools.
Carrying the assault further, a new idea was introduced into schools by John Dewey with his book Democracy and Education. He explained his desire to use schools to change America's concept of itself so people thought it was a pure democracy. Under a pure democracy, the vote of the people establishes whatever law the people want. Under a pure democracy there is no higher law than the vote of the people. Under a pure democracy, nothing is absolute. Everything and anything can change by the will of the people. One day it can be legal to exercise capital punishment on someone who commits abortion as a convenience, and the next day not.
Well, Dewey, the socialist atheist who wrote the Humanist Manifesto and had another sign it, got his wish. Today, most people think America is just a democracy. The only meaning they put on the word republic is that they elect the people who go represent them in the making of laws. Generally, the masses today have no knowledge of Noah Webster's explanation of the republican form of government guaranteed by the Constitution.
The day is coming when my children will see the U.N. Constitution and how it claims to give rights to the people. I hope they also see how our Constitution says God has given certain rights to the people. What God has given, said the early lawyers of America, no man nor government can take away. However, what government gives, the government can certainly define and restrict and take away.
Our wars have mostly been to protect the wealth and identity of nations. The two world wars were certainly between governments of people who filled the churches. Yet the wars were fought because strong leaders of the nations wanted something more than they had. Hitler was demonized. Stalin was demonized. And the Emperor of Japan was demonized.
Yet, Christian people let Hitler and Stalin do their thing.
This should not be repeated, but it shall be.
Trying to save a few from deception is why I write. The effects of deception are hurtful to the most extreme.
A love of the truth is protection against being deceived.
The Germans knew the truth. Many strong Catholics and Lutherans were in Germany at the time of Hitler. But many allowed themselves to be deceived by not loving the truth more than they loved what Hitler was offering them.
The Russians knew the truth. But many loved what Stalin and Lenin offered more than they loved the truth.
In both cases, they said in effect, the ends justify the means. And that is a deception.
There is now in effect a world plan for education, banking, law, and military, and courts and money, and religion. None of which references God or acknowledges His truth. And Christians are blissfully ignoring it much as the good Lutheran and Catholic Germans ignored many signs of Hitler's evil.
Do you believe in eternal judgement? It is one of the principles of the doctrine of Christ. See Hebrews 6:1-3
Do you desire that your children or grandchildren be born into a world where their government makes it illegal
for the children's teachers to mention God and His law? Even the Ten Commandments?
No wonder so many don't know the right way to live. To them, as they have been taught in schools, however they feel good is the right way for them to live. Nothing is said about righteousness and sin, good and evil. Only they are told, "You can do what ever you can imagine and believe." So I have seen the posters in elementary and junior high schools in Wichita Falls, Tx and those signs are not alone across the nation.
America, wake up! Stirr yourself up for God while you still can. If not, there comes a time when even the law of the land will be democratically voted to say you cannot mention God. There are many even now who firmly say the children must be delivered from their faith toward God, their loyalty to family, and this must be done within the first few years of school. Such things are taught in ivory towers of education.
The battle is for the mind of your child. Who will influence it? You? God? or atheists and humanists who deny Him.
