What do lawyers mean?
I listened to Herb Titus present two talks today at the
SuperWorldview Conference sponsored by AmericanVision and
other Christian organizations. His talks about how state
governments may successfully circumvent Federal law which is
outside of the Federal constitution’s 10th amendment were
presented well. Unfortunately the whole idea of separation of
Church (religion) and State (civil law) is still a confused
mess.
This was evident in the question and answer session tonight.
Two questions were asked about the influence of rival
“religions” on our Christian civil laws in a hope that Herb
would offer how Christians may cope or prevent further erosion
of Christian Constitutional law. Herb Titus attempted to
answer that our government was founded on “The Laws of Nature
and of Nature’s God” or was it — Christianity? He was forced
to define “religion” and simply stated a political (civil)
definition is that it is those “things” that we owed our
Creator which the civil authority had no jurisdiction. But
then what “law” prevents the State from (re)defining religion
any way it wants? What would prevent what some justices are
saying — that our constitution is a living and changing
document interpreted at the whim of judges? I don’t think
either of the two questions were really ever answered.
Is our U.S. Constitution a Christian document, as one of
Herb’s booklet titles suggests, or is it not? We only should
use a constitutional amendment process to change what
is in error. Article VI paragraph 3 is in error. A religious
oath must be required of our Federal officials. We must
hold them accountable to the Bible.
