1) What is the problem?

The problem is that there is "no knowledge of God in the land." How did it happen - because at one point in time - several hundred years ago - there was "knowledge of God" and it is what made America great - and then almost as quickly as it was here - it was gone. The answer is simple - yet complex.

In 1789, the people on this continent officially allowed their "leaders" to declare that God was dead and they would no longer have King Jesus to reign over them. They had decided to have a "king" reign over them like all the other nations (see I Samuel 8 for the exact same result seen in other people who had done the exact same thing). They had forsaken the God of their fathers (the pilgrims) and had gone after other "gods."

The U.S. CONstitution boldy and DEFIANTLY screams - THIS CONstitution and OUR LAWS, AND OUR TREATIES - shall be the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND.

Would you please think about this statement? In all reality, this is total defiance and rebellion to Almighty God. This is raising the fist in the face of God and proclaiming that man\'s ways are higher than God\'s ways. OUR LAWS - not Your Laws - OUR TREATIES - not Yours - OUR WORDS - not Yours - SHALL BE THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND. This is Orwellian. The "preachers" say what a great thing this is - yet the clear truth is that it is the exact OPPOSITE of what is great and true.

So-called "preachers" especially those in the "patriot movement" have been some of the biggest promoters of this heresy and are much like the High Priests of Jesus\' day who proclaimed "we have no king but Caesar." They have continually made people like George Washington, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, etc., into pillars of righteousness and followers of Christ even though the clear history of their lives demonstrates otherwise. These men were Freemasons, they were Illuminists (whether officially or not - the proof is in the pudding). We all have heard it and seen it shown how the architecture in Washington, DC and the design of the city, etc., is ALL Satanically derived. We\'ve all been told of what defenders of freedom people like Geo. Washington were - yet - when history such as what he did in quashing the "whiskey rebellion" is discussed, it is dismissed as folly. (He used the "Whiskey Rebellion" to quash his competition in the whiskey business.)

When the Treaty of Tripoli is brought into the discussion, it too, is dismissed as if it never happened or was somehow slipped in by while "good men" were not watching. How ridiculous. The Treaty was read before the ENTIRE Congress INCLUDING the "president" who had no problem whatsoever signing the document that clearly states THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT IS NOT IN ANY SENSE FOUNDED ON THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION. Yet, "patriots" and "patriot preachers" still propagate the lie that the CONstitution and the "government" it created was ordained by God Himself - that the CON was inspired of God as if it is on the same plane as the Scriptures.

My guess is that while the "patriots" and the "patriot preachers" still hold to and propagate this CON - they themselves after all these years - have still not read the document.

Surely you have you heard of a man named Patrick Henry. Immediately you will say yes, he\'s the one who said "Give me liberty or give me death." Of course. But are you aware of these other statements made by Patrick Henry?

"Had these principles been adhered to, we should not have been brought to this alarming transition, from a confederacy to a consolidated government. We have no detail of these great considerations, which, in my opinion, ought to have abounded before we should recur to a government of this kind. Here is a resolution as radical as that which separated us from Great Britain. It is radical in this transition; our rights and privileges are endangered, and the sovereignty of the states will be relinquished: and cannot we plainly see that this is actually the case?"

Patrick Henry warned vehemently AGAINST ratifying the U.S. CONstitution. He said such a CONsolidation would destroy states\' rights, it would take the guns out of the hands of the people, it would bring about unrestrained taxation and oppression, it would create an empire that could not be controlled, it would weaken the trial by jury, it would destroy the middle class and impoverish the masses, it would allow wicked rulers to go unpunished because there are no significant checks and balances in the CON, it would eliminate the militia and create a standing army that could not be controlled, it would kill the American spirit, it would allow "federal sheriff(s) may commit what oppression, make what distresses, he pleases, and ruin you with impunity; for how are you to tie his hands? Have you any sufficiently decided means of preventing him from sucking your blood by speculations, commissions, and fees?", he goes on to say that the "president" could easily transform to a monarchy, the Senate would sacrifice your rights for a very small minority, etc., etc., etc. To read the entire speech, please go to http://www.wfu.edu/%7Ezulick/340/henry.html

Today, things that should be called wrong are called right. What is unlawful is called legal. What is called lawful is called illegal. IT\'S ALL BACKWARDS. While the "patriots" and the "patriot preachers" speak glowingly about the CON - reciting words from the Federalist Papers - the TRUTH is actually found in the ANTI-FEDERALIST Papers. But have we read those documents? I have my doubts, just as I have my doubts as to whether the "patriots" and the "patriot preachers" have read the CON.

Today, we see the FRUIT from the tree planted in 1789. The fruit is bad because the TREE WAS BAD. Jesus said a good tree CANNOT bring forth corrupt fruit. By holding onto the CON and forcing our children and our grandchildren to perpetuate the CON - we MAKE JESUS A LIAR.

To sum up the problem, the followers of Christ have bought the CON. We\'ve traded King Jesus for a "king" like all the other nations. The salt has lost its savor. Jesus is the ONLY source of true freedom and liberty and we traded His Kingdship away for a CON. We have followed the steps of our fathers in keeping the CON going. We have become conformists, co-conspirators in a deception that has hidden the true kingdom of Christ for several hundred years.

2) What is causing the problem?
This question seems a little redundant, doesn\'t it?

3) What is the solution to the problem?

II Corinthians 6:14-18: Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

The so-called "christians" in the U.S. today - including the "patriot christians" and the so-called "patriot preachers" are some of the most flag waving, proud U.S. "citizens" on the continent today.

I marvel to figure out exactly how this has come to pass - even with the "preachers" demanding it - I would think that thinking people would be able to see through the CON of the CON and the lies of the "preachers." But it doesn\'t seem to be happening.

The book of Hebrews is clear that the follower of Christ is to be a "stranger and a pilgrim on this earth, looking for another city, a better country wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God." You who are proud UNITED States "citizens" - how does it feel to be UNITED with the sodomites? Oh, you don\'t live in California or Massachusetts? It doesn\'t matter - because you are a UNITED States citizen!!! You say you are not a war-mongerer, a pornographer, an abortionist, etc.? BUT YOU ARE. You are a "citizen" of the UNITED states of America. You ARE UNITED with the sodomite, the warmonger, the abortionist. You are just as guilty as they because you VOLUNTARILY accept "citizenship" with the UNITED States of America.

Are you sick of it yet? Are you getting mad at the messenger? Are you still waving the flag and pledging "allegiance" - claiming that you have NO OTHER SOVEREIGN in your life (that is what the "pledge" is, in case you didn\'t know)?

WE ALL HAVE A CHOICE AS TO WHOSE GOVERNMENT WE WILL BE GOVERNED BY. Just because you "live" on this continent - does not mean that you have to be a U.S. "citizen." You can do as the real Founding Fathers of Christianity did -

Hebrews 11:23-27: By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king\'s commandment. By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh\'s daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

As for me and my family, we refuse to be called the "king\'s sons." We refuse to be UNITED "citizens" of the world. When God\'s people turn their back on the CON and come back to King Jesus and His Government, we will see the power of God in ways that we have never seen in our lives. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but they are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations AND EVERY high thing that exalts itself above the knowledge of God. This what is promised to those who are obedient to the Word and to the Kingdom of Christ and Come Out from among them and be separate.

In case anyone out there cares, here are a couple more things to think about. If it is true that adopting the U.S. CONstitution as your Supreme Law of the land is equal to following after other "gods" - which this writer absolutely believes is the case, then several extreme consequences need to be addressed as the result of such a belief system.

If the "government" that the U.S. CONstitution created was established in defiance of the Kingdom of Christ as I am suggesting, then it would be very easy to identify it based on its fruit. Jesus said, "A good tree CANNOT bring forth bad fruit." So, let's examine the fruit.

The "government" that the U.S. CONstitution created has caused its "citizens" to involve themselves in the following actions that are clear violations of the Scriptures.

A. Labor taxes - We wonder why God apparently has turned against us??? Look at Isaiah 58. The Scriptures clearly show that God does NOT hear the prayers of people who involved themselves in taxing labor. If God did not hear the prayers of people who taxed labor "back then" - what makes us think that God has changed His mind for today? This is what is so amazing. The Scripture CLEARLY tells us that it is the nature of God to HATE LABOR TAXES - yet we think somehow we have evolved into a people that God has changed His nature with because we are something special. Weird.

B. Witholding taxes - James 5 tells us that witholding taxes from the fruit of people's labor makes God so angry He wants to declare war. Yet, we continue on with the practice from generation to generation and expect that God should treat us differently - than what the Scriptures clearly show are contrary to the nature of God.

C. Social security - Mark 5 shows us that the "social security system" of today is just a twist on a practice that has been around for thousands of years. Jesus said "If you involved yourself with a Social Security system - you make God's Word of no effect in your life." Yet, somehow we wonder "What's the problem?" What's causing the problem? What's the solution?" Amazing.

D. The "citizen" of the United States of America is called upon to "swear an oath" at just about every single instance of transaction between the "citizen" and his "government." Yet again, Jesus made it clear in Matthew 6 that HIS people were not to swear oaths - EVER - of any kind. The disciple, James, who walked with Jesus, talked with Jesus, lived with Jesus, saw Jesus murdered, then witnessed His resurrection and subsequent ascension to Heaven - stated in James 5 that of all the things he learned from Jesus - THE MOST IMPORTANT thing - ABOVE ALL - was not to swear oaths. Yet, today, swearing oaths is as common as the daylight and hardly any of the "christians" think a thing about it.

E. Licentiousness - The "citizen" of the U.S. is licentious - a word that is used in the New Testament as lascivious. Most of you have a "license" to do every single thing in your life. Nearly every single thing you do is accompanied by a "license" from your "government." And, hardly anything is ever thought about this evil practice.

F. Debt - The borrower is servant to the lender. No man can serve two masters. Owe no man anything. The followers of Christ are supposedly delivered from death to life - yet 99.9% of the so-called "christians " in the U.S. has a "mortgage." Examine the Latin word - mort = DEATH; gage = pledge. "Mortgage" is a death pledge.

G. Paper money - A false balance is an abomination to the Lord. There are numerous passages of Scripture that show that God's "money" is gold and silver. That doesn't necessarily mean that gold and silver HAS to be your currency - ultimately - fair trading is what the economy of God is concerned with. The criminal "government" established by the CON has caused total fraud and thievery to prevail across the land and the people gladly accept and trade paper "dollars" as "currency." Webster's 1828 Dictionary states that "money" is gold, silver and copper coins." It goes on to say that RUDE nations sometimes use "paper" as money.

H. Usury - The "paper" economy that the CON created "government" has established for its "citizens" is based on a usury / interest system. It is totally evil. It is diametrically opposed to the clear teachings of the Scripture - AND - in Psalm 115 - David - in his despair asked God who would abide in His holy temple? One of the answers that came back was he who putteth NOT his money to usury... But, for today, somehow it's different for today - than it was "back then."

This list could go on and on and on. If anything in this list has merit, why aren't the "churches" talking about it? They have made their choice. Their "god" is the "government" established by the U.S. CON - they have "no king but Caesar." They have traded King Jesus and His ways for a "government" like all the other nations. ALL - WITHOUT EXCEPTION - ALL of the "churches" in this country are mouthpieces for the "government" created by the CON. There are a few "churches" who claim to stand against the "wickedness" of some of the "laws" and the "politicians" - but in reality - they stand against nothing because their "members" still claim "citizenship" with the U.S. All they are doing is asking their "gods" to be "better gods." They are asking their "gods" to make better "laws." They are still the first to leap to their feet when the music is played ("National Anthem") and they are the loudest to speak their "pledge of allegiance (a statement that one has NO OTHER SOVEREIGNS BESIDES THE U.S. "government"), and they are oh so proud to send their boys and girls off to fight treacherous, murderous wars that the criminals that run the "governments" around the world create to promote their evil agendas.

With each of the actions that were listed above, the Scripture clearly states that those who practice such things remove the power of God from their lives. They claim to know God, they claim to worship God, but their actions completely deny Him.

The "preachers" have convinced their "flocks" that they are all under grace and that they can live any way they want to - because God looks the other way today. He treats people today differently than He treated millions of other people who lived at other times during history. Insanity. Yet we sit back and scratch our heads and ask "What's the problem?"
