Accepting all beliefs made U.S. Great ?
Quote; In a letter posted Nov. 3, the letter writer said that, "The law should be based on the Bible. God cannot lie."It is a fact that men, not God, wrote the Bible. Humans make mistakes and these men were no exception. The letter writer claims that "there are no errors in the Bible," or it would not be here today.
If errors are the premise for the destruction of a book, there would be no books in existence. She states that "people of that time had a much better understanding of humanity, nature, and truth." We find it difficult to associate raping, plundering, stoning, public executions, slavery, human and animal sacrifice with "the better understanding of humanity, nature and truth."
The Bible, as a literary work, is one of the most violent books ever written. If she believes that this country was founded because people wanted religious freedom, shouldn't that freedom be extended to every view? Our country prospered not because it was founded on "God's words" but because of separation of church and state. This country's prosperity is related to its ability to attract the best of the world. Our ancestors made this country what it is today. Certain "Christian" groups expect us to take their beliefs as gospel, yet they are unwilling to entertain others' beliefs. Unquote.
Mankind has placed itself at odds with the Creator. Mans ability to serve God is based on mans ability to believe God. And when man refuses to believe, there occurs a rift between himself and God. Mans idea of right and wrong become clouded by his ambition to gain worldly riches and to be the center of attention. In the preceding letter, I have found that the view of the people that had written it are also the view of not only those in the United States but around the world. They being clouded, in the mind and spirit, by the arch enemy of man, The Spirit of Anti-Christ. Who ever said that being a Christian was easy, who ever said the Gods government was one of compromise? Where did you ever see where The government of the Kingdom was a democracy? Lets look a little closer at the letter.
1. Quote; The law should be based on the Bible. Unquote.
In Fact, the Law of many countries is based on the Bible. The greatest example of this is on the Supream Court Doors. The Ten Commandments. In 2nd Peter 2:10, We see the reason for most of mankind's failure to be at peace with each other. But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
Now we see in, Isaiah 9:7, The result of The government of Jesus and His reign. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

To be more precise, the absence of mistakes in the Bible proves, that man had no part in the contents or construction of the Scripture. According to scripture, man was inspired by the Spirit of God. They in essence were being secretary's of the dictation of the Word. 2Ti 3:16 17. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
The key words we look for in 2Ti 3:16 17 are these; That the man of God, here we see that the words of God, i.e. The Bible, are power to those that have received the word of truth willingly. There-by, we who believe in Gods word, are made acceptable in the Beloved. Being endowed with a spirit that the world cannot understand. What we, as believers, see cannot be seen of those that refuse to believe, in a Being, of Unlimited power and Vision.
3. Quote;The Bible, as a literary work, is one of the most violent books ever written. Unquote .
Violence comes from the hearts of man. Man does not regard God, nor his precepts, nor his threatenings and judgments.
The Bible being violent isn't the work of God but of mans disobedience to God and His Laws. Man, as was with the past in scripture, had made his own choices. The more that man walked away from God and His stipulations, the more violent man became. No one ever say anything about the books and movies of WWI, WWII, Viet Nam, or any other book that deals with mans violence to man. I wonder why?
4. Quote;Our country prospered not because it was founded on "God's words" but because of separation of church and state. Unquote.
Being misled is mans ultimate downfall. There is no separation of Church and State, for without The Father, there would be no state. The clouds of unbelief are gathering stronger and darker. Man has turned away from God and has turned to fables and science. How do you believe, that mankind evolved from anything, how can you believe that man just appeared, how can you believe that man can survive on this earth for eternity?
The Idea of Separation of Church and State came from idolaters and those that wanted a way out, so they could, use mans law for his own purpose. With a Nation based on Gods Laws, it was restricting to them and oppressive. Instead of wanting a Land protected by the Hand of God, they wanted to turn to their own imagination, which was and still is on evil continually. What have we gained by turning away from God? Homosexuality, Prostitution, Murder,Terrorism, Pornography, Drug addiction, open borders and all manner of False Religions. Bibles were taken out of Schools and in return we received an increase of Gangs, instead of students.
Deception and corruption in government and all the way thru, what used to be a society serving God. Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. You say that this is violence? Why cant God destroy something that He created and owns? Mans violence against the week, is an oppressive man, He is no different than the animals of the wild, seeking the week as prey. Man has become the oppressor of man not God. When God says Love thy neighbor, He didn't tell us to accept, nor Love, the sinful abominations that they co-mitt. On the contrary, He tells us to warn them, and if they refuse to listen to turn our backs on them, for He will judge.
Psalms 72:4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break (destroy.) in pieces the oppressor. All the nations that forget God - They will not live in his fear. There are both nations and individuals who, though they know God, forget him, that is, are unmindful of him, do not acknowledge him in their designs, ways and works. These are all to be thrust down into hell. Reader, art thou forgetful of thy Maker, and of Him who died for thee?

Here is the view of God and His accepting all views as being right; 1Co_6:9, 1Co_6:10; Gal_5:19-21; Heb_13:4; Rev_21:8, Rev_22:15. Pro 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. What is evil, all those things that Our Father calls sin and a abomination is evil. My Father hates it and therefore we hate it. Psalms 9:20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Psalms 9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

Luke 6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. How can God accept lifestyles, opinions, and views that are contrary to His word.?
2nd Co 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.
Barnes states; Come out from among them - That is, from among idolaters and unbelievers; from a frivolous and vicious world. The underlying principle is that in a moral universe it is impossible for God to fully bless and use His children who are in compromise or complicity with evil.
The unequal yoke is anything which unites a child of God and an unbeliever in a common purpose. We cannot call Good evil nor evil Good, for it is in contradiction to what we know is true.
