Would you then agree that the amendment that explicitly forbade slavery was in harmony with that purpose..?
Yes, agreed.

Would you agree that better laws help people to be better, and that bad laws encourage them to be bad?
I think the way I would word it is that man's laws should mirror God's laws. The laws aren't even necessarily for the good people (who are already following God's law) but allows them a way to be protected from the bad people. Also, those laws should be made at the proper level of government (local > state > federal).

BrianM wrote:Joseph Smith said it's only flaw is basically that it wasn't broad enough in enforcing its provisions in regards to those who neglect it.
Still a flaw though, isn't it? And if a flaw then improvement is possible.
Have we not seen the need for that in the last 200 years?
If you want to say it's "still a flaw" I don't care to argue that point back and forth. It's a flaw that is only a flaw because men are flawed. Yes, we've seen a lot of corruption and ignoring of the Constitution over the years.

I'm going to address the rest by skipping down to...
LoveIsTruth wrote:More or less than what? Than the law supporting "principle of freedom in maintaining rights and privileges." It does not mean the Constitution is perfect and cannot or should not be improved. Indeed it has been improved by the 13th amendment: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." This is in perfect accord with the word of the Lord "it is not right that any man should be in bondage one to another." (D&C 101:79)
Yes, "more or less than this" - this meaning: "supporting that principle of freedom in maintaining rights and privileges".

Yes, amendments can be beneficial/good (such as the 13th) but most things are best left for each state to decide.
LoveIsTruth wrote: ..This is why D&C 134 is only a declaration of belief, instead of a declaration of finalized and immutable doctrine.
D&C 134 was written by Oliver Cowdery and approved by the Saints for inclusion in the D&C while Joseph was away (FYI).

Men are flawed, and the Constitution was written for flawed men. That was its purpose. It would have fulfilled its purpose better if Joseph Smith's suggestion for improving it was put in place.

For sure. But it is the Federal government that does the most plunder, and it should be restricted by an amendment to the Constitution to explicitly forbid all public taxation and regulation (read violation) of private property. Because violation of private property is the definition of evil. And this evil (violation of private property via public taxation of private property) is the very life blood of the monster that empowers all of the vices of the government, and this key evil was not explicitly forbidden in the original Constitution, yet it must be, if Liberty and the country is to survive.

The only things a public government has a right to regulate and tax are the things it owns, i.e. public property, and nothing else.

I am sure it would not have made into D&C without Joseph's approval.

Thanks for your comments.

I'm not opposed to trying to eliminate government plunder and violations of the constitution and our rights -- however I think it might be too late. Perhaps it can be implemented after the cleansing of America.

Actually, the story is that Joseph would not have put it in the D&C but allowed it to be so because the people had voted for it (this was told by Joseph F. Smith who was teaching about the law of common consent - this being an example of that law in action).

You are exactly right. But we still should try. It is a chance to proclaim the truth.

Interesting. I did not know that. Thanks for the info. But it still proves the point that non of them understood the principles well enough to state them in absolute terms.

Forced obedience is what Nazi Germany practiced. God already said that he had the Constitution written so slavery would eventually stop...and it did. Likewise, the Israelites were in bondage four around 400 years before Moses came along and freed them.
Righteousness is what is needed in order for every man to have his own property without someone coming along and taking it from them or even attempting to...just like in Nevada. The government has no business running the lives of a free people. It is evil minded people that have made life miserable for the rest until now evil doings are more commonplace. Want a better Constitution? Fix the people. The Constitution was to be for a righteous republic nothing else. God has a place all set up for the wicked, because they didn't see fit to obey his commandments. But even he will not force people into obedience, but he can sure make their life miserable.
I like what John Taylor said when he told us that the Constitutions should be taught to our children, intact, pure and unadulterated. So if, if Joseph had said anything to the contrary, JT didn't agree with it either. No one can change the Constitution and then claim it is intact and unadulterated. I fully believe that if God had wanted it written a different way, he'd had someone do it way before now.
President Benson told us outright that God placed his stamp approval on the Constitution and I stick with him.

President Benson tells us what we must do. For those who say he is full of it do so at their own peril.
God also put a stamp of approval upon the Bible. It didn't mean the Book of Mormon should not have come forth.
  • "A [Constitution]! A [Constitution]! We have got a [Constitution], and there cannot be any more [Constitution].
    But thus saith the Lord God: O fools, ... murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word? ... And because that I have spoken one word ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another; for my work is not yet finished; ... Wherefore, because that ye have [the Constitution] ye need not suppose that it contains all my words; neither need ye suppose that I have not caused more to be written." (2 Nephi 29: 3-10) "For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have." (2 Nephi 28:30).
Unless we accept more of God's words into the Constitution, it will be taken away from us.
"He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." (Matthew 11:15)

:)
Since you do acknowledge that God did put his stamp of approval on the Constitution, then you also should know that it was written exactly the way he wanted it or he wouldn't have put his stamp of approval on it. Only man would come up with such an idea of changing it to read something else.

2 Nephi 9:28
28 O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish.

1 Corinthians 3:18,19
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

Does any one man know more, understand more or think at a higher level than God? See: 2 Nephi 9:28
A very simple "yes" or "no" will suffice. Yes or no!

God also put a stamp of approval on the amendment process, that he put into the Constitution. He also put his stamp of approval on the 13th amendment, which squares perfectly with his word. He also put his stamp of approval upon the principles I propose to be added to the Constitution. Why do I say so? Because they are his principles, and square perfectly with his words in the scriptures.

No. And you should respect the wisdom of Him who made the Constitution amendable, and revealed more light and knowledge to be added to it, which if you reject, even that which you have received will be taken away from you, according to his own words.

The stumbling block of many LDS is that they don't wish to think, nor believe God and his prophets when they bring additional light to them.

As in..."Dear God, I come before you to tell you that you made some mistakes as to how the Constitutions was penned. I want those errors rectified. Instead of having people govern themselves I want new laws that will force people to do right. Instead of people repenting and having increased charity, I want them to be coerced into submission for the good of everyone."
Then we can toss out the scriptures.

Tell us, did you get it straight from God's mouth that the Constitution is amendable, to be changed according to man's whims? And where are the sources that even come close to this notion. Man had more to do with the amendments 11 on up. 1-10 are the Bill of Rights.

And this includes changing the Constitution according to man's whims and not trusting that God knows what he is doing. So you answered your own goal with evidence that you presume to tell God what to do. It is not the role of the church leadership to change anything in the Constitution unless God commands it. It is to be left intact, pure and unadulterated. I didn't miss the memo, but some members of the church have. The prophets have spoken emphatically about this. If you want perfection, wait till he whose right it is to reign and carry the government on his shoulder...even Jesus Christ arrives.
But just take into account that those living with him will be much more perfect and righteous than the carnal man is. They will be the best of the best and will adhere to what Christ says, not try to change his intents and purposes.

The tradition is to change it. Not keep it in tact. I don't know why you keep doing that. Providing the ammo for the gun pointed at you.

And the stumbeling block is exactly what God says it is. Not what "you" say it is.

freedomforall wrote:As in..."Dear God, I come before you to tell you that you made some mistakes as to how the Constitutions was penned.
He didn't; the imperfections in it are from the men who wrote it, not from God. And you have two prophets, at least, telling you that it is not perfect. I believe the prophets. On this point you apparently don't.
freedomforall wrote:I want those errors rectified.
Indeed. God wants them rectified too, as soon as he can get through the stubbornness of certain men who do not listen to him nor his prophets.
freedomforall wrote:Instead of having people govern themselves I want new laws that will force people to do right.
Not really. I wish to help people to govern themselves by teaching them the correct principle that government has no right to plunder them. I simply want to forbid plunder carried out by the government. Justice demands it, and so does God.

And without correct principles, how are people supposed to govern themselves?
freedomforall wrote:Instead of people repenting and having increased charity, I want them to be coerced into submission for the good of everyone."
Not instead but in addition to. And not into submission, but into non-aggression. Big difference. Learn it. It is called Justice.
The only coercion I call for is that which neutralizes aggressive violence of the government. And that is just.
freedomforall wrote:Then we can toss out the scriptures.
"Thou shall not steal" is scripture. How am I tossing it by applying it to the government in the Constitution whose purpose, according to God, is to restrict the government and to protect the people?

Not according to whims, but according to scripture: "Thou shall not steal" applied to the government.

The Constitution itself, the Bible, and the Book of Mormon, as well as Joseph Smith.

Amendment 13 is in perfect harmony with the word of God.

So you are right.

Precisely. That is why I seek to limit it, from robbing you. We agree again!

Constitution is already writen to limit the government. the governement and people have not abided by it. That's the problem. Not the constitution

And the tradition is not to keep it as it was in the lds religion. It's been the same as you to change it.

Read D&c 121 34-40.
With in mind that unrightious dominion really only practiced in our involvment in government. As we have very little opportunitys to do so in church or home life. But through out votes we can enslave the masses to the bondage of taxation and laws.
Almost all members of the church fall into that trap.
Are you leading that charge lov?

If you are amen to your pristhood athority. And you are not numbered as gods people. Verse 38.

It can limit it even better, and make it easier for people to hold officials to account. The need well demonstrated by the last 200 years. (Especially in the light of the fact that the founders did not have a perfect understanding of certain key principles, as demonstrated by the language they used, and by their behavior in office after the Constitution was adopted).

Do you have a problem hyper focusing on things?

I ask cuz you seem to miss the point a lot only looking at one aspect of it.

There is more then just one reason people use unrightious dominion taxation is one of them. Not the only one.
A ? Mark notes a question not a statement.


Flying to pieces??? What? Those quotes are not new light. Have seen them many times and once again are taken out of context.

God is the one who defined the stumbeling block not me. 2 nephi 26:20.

Take that issue up with God. See if he wants you to change that scripture to better suit your faults.

"He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." (Matthew 11:15)

:)
God didn't say he would take writen words. He said wisdom or knowledge. America has not listened. The lds have not listened.

the church has ignored the message from our prophets about our role In the freedom battle. And the last prophet to say almost anything on it was ezra Taft benson.

And now the church is almost completly ignorant to the freedom issue.

The lord has taken that wisdom nearly out of the church except for a few who still want more.
I want more.
