[QUOTE="Lynx, post: 2362134, member: 32204"] No sir, there was no intent of snarkiness. My deception comment was simply my way of pointing towards the first deception which has been with us since ever since. The deception was used as a means to seperate man from God, the Prime Creator and only sovereign being in existence. No matter how we look at it, man and everything else is the property of God if one is willing to put aside pride. We are not sovereign beings. We are His property. God owns us. I for one have no problem with this concept. Is that not why we refer to God as Father, Master, Lord, etc? God states that his law is supreme. We claim in the Constitution that our law is supreme. Only one can be. If we claim ours as supreme, then we are rejecting God. And this is not just the US Constitution, but all forms of governence since the children of Israel demanded that they have a king as written in 1 Samuel 8. This passage is symbolic of man rejecting God enmasse. We humans demand we have our laws and reject his Laws. The result is that we are now dead to him until such a time where we turn back to his Law. The problem that we are faced with who we will call master. Will it be God or will it be man? We can not serve two masters. The framers of the Constitution invoked the name of God into the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. This does not equate to giving allegiance to God. Read the words close and it is evident that man is declaring how things will be without any input from God. "We the People" is a proclomation absent of God. It is hubris. Vanity. Rejection of God's Law in favor of our law. God does not listen to those who reject him. He doesn't hear them. Is it any wonder why this nation is in turmoil? Why everything is a mess here and the world over? And why we have lost the security and freedom of God's caring? Many pray, but because we as a nation rejected God, he ignores us. I know this is a viewpoint few want to hear. But it explains much of our problems. The confusion that I'm certain the people at the Tower of Babel experienced. Why is our government doing this awfulness to us? Why does it constantly try to take away our freedom? Why does it want to enslave us? I think the reason goes all the way back to the first deception. We believe we are as God as described in Genesis 3:5. And just a look at what God says will happen in 1 Samuel 8:11-18. It's a list of all the negative effects that the nation of Israel (and any nation for that matter) will experience. Then look at all the grievences listed in the DoI. They are so similar. Slavery is the result of rejecting God's law for man's law. Just my thoughts on the matter. My apologies for unsettling anyone. [/QUOTE]
