At this point I have to redirect the thinking of these writings back to the basic concept of why and how these United States were created. The Christian religion in the Middle East, Europe, and Russia was not moving forward with the love God intended. The transformation of the Jewish concept of how to worship God was not going the way it should have.
The earthly power of the Church was becoming more important than the reason for the Church. i.e. If the person being accepted by the Church did not accept the faith the way they were told, the Church might reject them. That idea had to be the reason we have many religions today. i.e. You have to do it our way or you are wrong.
Many religions today continue with that concept. The love of God “agape” is weak or is completely left out. Jesus, the son of God, did not teach anything like the religious prejudice we experience today.
The early settlers of the colonies experienced some freedom they had never felt before. More freedom to worship as they felt God guided them and freedom to live and prosper as never before. From the time the Pilgrim’s landed on Plymouth Rock in 1620 over the next hundred fifty years they experienced a new kind of life they wanted to keep alive.
While the were not perfect men, the men sitting in the Philadelphia Convention did not write and sign the Declaration of Independence for person wealth. They pledged their fortunes and their lives to the concept of freedom and their love of mankind.
Of course they believed they would be better off than when the war was over, but the also knew if they were to survive it would be with the help of the commoners that were identified in the document as We the People. The love of each other was born that day in America.
Now love has be reborn in congress and the voters, or we can lose this country. A country that the world looks to as a way to grow by loving everyone inside of outside our great country.
I became a Christian by believing in Jesus the Christ and picking up my cross of a sinful life and trying to live like Jesus did. I can’t do it, but because He gave me strength through His grace I do better than I could have alone. He gave me this country, and I want my children, great grand children, and my great great grand children to enjoy it.
This constant bickering that has nothing to do with God’s love has to stop. We have to agree to disagree, but compromise while living in the early world God gave us.
In the name of Jesus I ask God to give wisdom to the men and women Democrats, Republicans, and Independence that are now in leadership possessions. Amen
