Amending the Constitution is perfectly constitutional. So it does not violate that.
freedomforall wrote:God telling us to befriend and uphold the Constitution which is the supreme law of the land, and current prophets telling us the same..
There is no conflict between befriending and improving it. Indeed one implies another. And you cannot defile, or adulterate the Constitution by adding more of God's words to it. So there is zero contradiction here.
freedomforall wrote:Therefore a righteous government and a righteous people would have no need of social control.

The Constitution was written for the world as it is, which means not everybody is righteous. Therefore it must contain means to prevent government plundering the people. It is a very simple idea actually, perfectly in harmony with the word of God.
freedomforall wrote:Good luck in your run for POTUS. Time to put you money where your mouth is, isn't it?

I don't need to runt for POTUS to propose just and good amendments to the Constitution.
LoveIsTruth wrote:"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?
freedomforall wrote:God does not force people to keep his commandments does he? No. Satan's plan is accomplished by force.

You are confused. God uses force in defence of his property, and commanded his people to do the same. Incorporating a defence against government violence into the Constitution does not violate the agency of the people, but upholds it. Allowing government violence and plunder against the people does actually violate their agency. So you got it in reverse. I am protecting agency (freedom of property) of the people from violence and aggression of the government. That is just, and upholds agency, not destroys it. So you are incorrect. Only in your mind. :-?
freedomforall wrote:You just plain cannot force people to live righteously.

No, but you can defend yourself and your family from the wicked as God commands. Defense is a lot different than coercion into compliance of law. Cliven Bundy is a great example of defending against government tyranny. But if he were to simply tell them to leave him alone they would just laugh at him. They could care less what the Constitution says because they broke the law big time just in going after him the way they did. So what good will it do to put new wording in that document when the government agencies wouldn't abide with them anyway. Now what are you going to propose? War? This will happen at some point when the good patriotic folks in this country say enough is enough.
freedomforall wrote:And even if you could change the Constitution the Judicial System would still do things their way because they have their own Constitution.

The more plain the Constitution against government plunder, the harder it is to twist, the harder it is to lie to the people, because remember, it is on deception (and resulting acquiescence) of the people that the whole plunder system is built. Expose the lie, and you end the consent of the people, who will realize they are being robbed. Now however, most believe the plunder is somehow justified. This is because they haven't been reading the Constitution and making sure it is abided by. Learning twisted ideas by the precepts of man is why they are so oblivious to their true privileges granted by the Constitution. BTW, the Constitution isn't based on granting rights, it is based on granting privileges.
The role of the Constitution is to broadcasts the truth across the sky, so that the deception becomes much harder to pull off or impossible. But with broad taxation clauses as it is, the Constitution does no such thing, and therefore is ineffective in its present form, because it seems to allow public taxation of private property, which is a violation of private property, which is a definition of evil and injustice itself.

The Constitution must be amended to remove this weakness in it. It is in perfect harmony with scriptures and the word of God who made the Constitution amendable for this very purpose. And indeed it is our duty to use our influence to do the best we can to improve it in this way, according to the provisions God made in the Constitution itself.

Are you wiser than he? No, that is why I accept the Constitution as is because he raised the very people he wanted to write it and he put his stamp of approval on it just the way it is. This, my friend, makes me very wise indeed. God is much wiser...because the wisdom of men is but foolishness to God. His words not mine.

With the same logic we would never had the Constitution. And it is false. Even if you change hearts, you still need just laws well written, otherwise you get chaos, and God's house is the house of order.

Babylon is not God's house. The carnal man is an enemy to God. So righteousness still precedes the Constitution. If all men and women in government were born again, changed from a carnal nature to one of pureness and virtue, then you may have a valid case. Sorry, but this is right out of scripture. Evil people will still seek evil and cling to it and or even espouse or promote it.
Just how many ways can this be articulated before it is understood. Your idea although noble, will not happen until Christ comes. Too many people labeling right as wrong and wrong as right, which is also scriptural.

No your wrong.
The people were sick and tired of the government tyranny. Brought there complaints to the lord who then fought the battles with them. A very humbeling inspiring thing. right prior to them sitting in councle together men who God raised up for that very purpose. Men who studyed history and prayed to go to know the direction he would have them go.

God created the opportunities to have a humble inspired God fearing people who wanted not to be under the oppression they were just under.

God created the oppertunity and inspired them to do his will.

We have been falling away ever since. Becoming more wicked and going away from those godly principles and humility.

If God so wills it we will have another humbeling (most will not enjoy that) to make another oppertunity to change the constitution back to the way God would have it.

I can't see him adding to it. I could see a few words taken out. And then like befor he will allow men their agency to currupt or keep the words and will of God.

A just law is never more than defense. They are one and the same. What I am proposing to put into the Constitution is nothing more than DEFENSE against the plunder by government.
freedomforall wrote:Cliven Bundy is a great example of defending against government tyranny. But if he were to simply tell them to leave him alone they would just laugh at him.
Yes, because they have corrupt law on their side. Such corruption of law is made easy without an explicit prohibition against any and ALL public taxation and regulation of private property, which is a violation of private property. This explicit prohibition against legalized plunder, against any and all violations of private property is absent in the Constitution, making evil and deception easy. This must be fixed, and legalized plunder forbidden.
freedomforall wrote:They could care less what the Constitution says because they broke the law big time
Uncertain laws make it easy to violate them. Constitution is missing explicit prohibition against all forms of plunder of private property, especially the plunder in the form of public taxation of private property.
freedomforall wrote:So what good will it do to put new wording in that document when the government agencies wouldn't abide with them anyway.
Clarity is key. The Constitution lacks clarity, and fails to EXPLICITLY forbid all violations of private property by the government. This makes it too easy for the agents of plunder pretend that they have a "right" to it. Persuasion is everything. It rules the world. To be persuasive, and therefore effective, laws must be crystal clear. Constitution is not. That is its weakness, and its flaw, that must be fixed, or it, and the country with it will die.
freedomforall wrote:Now what are you going to propose?
Truth. Education, and legislation of justice, to rout out legalized plunder, i.e. legalized evil.
freedomforall wrote:War? This will happen at some point when the good patriotic folks in this country say enough is enough.
The war is God's. He is exceedingly good at it. Leave it to him. He will fight our battles. And he will win for us, if we stop fighting against his words, and against extra light and knowledge he is giving us to improve the Constitution.

I have a case precisely because they are NOT virtuous and pure. THIS is why an exceeding plainness of speech is a MUST in the Constitution. Implications are not enough. There must be EXPLICIT prohibitions against all government plunder of private property, especially and foremost, public taxation and public regulation of private property, which is a violation of private property, and thus is organized evil. Public representative government has a right to govern and tax only what it owns: public property, and nothing else. All regulation and taxation of what they do not own, that is of private property, is legalized evil, and legalized plunder.

To prove the case for absolute imperative of plain speech in the law from scripture:
  • And there was nothing save it was exceeding harshness, preaching and prophesying of wars, and contentions, and destructions, and continually reminding them of death, and the duration of eternity, and the judgments and the power of God, and all these things—stirring them up continually to keep them in the fear of the Lord. I say there was nothing short of these things, and exceedingly great plainness of speech, would keep them from going down speedily to destruction. And after this manner do I write concerning them. (Enos 1:23)
This exceedingly plain prohibition against slavery and against public taxation of private property was missing from the original Constitution. The slavery one, was fixed with the 13th Amendment, which God approved. But the explicit prohibition against all violations of private property by the government via public taxation and regulation is still missing. Thus this organized, legalized, and institutionalized evil still exist, and will continue until the law is corrected, like it was corrected with the 13th Amendment. One slavery down, one to go. It is next.
freedomforall wrote: Sorry, but this is right out of scripture.
Precisely.
freedomforall wrote:Evil people will still seek evil and cling to it and or even espouse or promote it.
This is precisely why we must not make it easy for them by failing to put explicit and plain true principles into the Constitution, which are now missing in it.
freedomforall wrote:Just how many ways can this be articulated before it is understood.
Indeed!
freedomforall wrote:Your idea although noble, will not happen until Christ comes. Too many people labeling right as wrong and wrong as right, which is also scriptural.
I am certain this will be brought into law at least a CENTURY before the second coming of the Savior. Though, first, the country will be cleansed, as prophesied.

ok so for the umpteenth time.

Where does God say that we need to change the constitution?
The example you have provided are small little out of context snipets of incomplete info that you have based your assumptions.

I, ffa, Brian have all commented using quotes and scripture on how your inturpritations are off Or incomplete.

Yet you speak as if "your" inturpritations are the end all be all mind and will of God. When so much to the contrary has been said by the same sorces you quote.

Take a step back. Try to see the entire picture. Why would the scriptures and prophets say the opposite?

Have you studied the federalist papers? Have you studied the founding fathers their debates? Why they were inspired to create the constitution and government they did?
Have you studied what "all" of our modern prophets have had to say about the constitution? Have you read the scriptures while having it in your mind to know the will of God concerning government and agency?
If you have not done these things you cant claim to really know gods will without first seeking him through the evidences and frist hand knowledge by the founding fathers modern and prophets of old he has left us.

You are confusing the Second Cumming with second founding of Zion. They are not the same event. There are more than 2 centuries between the two.

Sweet. So your saying my bro and I will live to be a couple hundred years old. Wow that's great.

So I'm trying to picture what your doing when presented info contrary to "your" view point.

Do you close your eyes and start saying lalalalalalala for a few seconds then Start reading below the area that disproves you ideals?
Or do you quickly whip your head away and say (did someone say something) and then turn back and think "now where was I .... Oh yes way down here. " below the info that disproves you ideals?
Or is it some other more commical way of ignoring the truth?

Why are you so stuck on "your" way of thinking that you won't consider anything eles?

Like I said befor. Myself and others have posted quotes and scripture completly counter to what you are saying. And you ignor it.

You have just said that God lies. Do you realize that? You are saying "you" know better then God. Do you realize that?

Pride is the worst of all sins as it's the only sin tbat can lead to becomeing a son of perdition. The worst a person has pride the less they have the ability to recognize that they have it. Yet others can see it.

You get upset revert to name calling and insults because of that pride. You refuse to look at what other have to say because of that pride. You can not know God who is the opposite of pride. Humble.

It is in the darkness of men's own eyes they become lost. (Black elk)

Gods way is narrow. And in order to see it you have to have your eyes wide open.
That is why as it says in 2 nephi 28:30 that he will take away knowledge and wisdom. Because we ignor it.
It comes from every angle and every where.
Yet because of pride. We close our eyes. Or as black elk puts it. Our eyes darken. So where we cannot see plainly what's right in front of us.

Ignore at your own peril.

Soooooo which one is it?

I said I and other presented quotes and scripture opposite your view point. You said.
"I did the same to you with quotes and scripture let people decide."

Then you said that " not a word has been said contrary to what I have said"

You really are becoming like kmc who contradicts himself all the time. And then denies that he contradicted himself.

Brian agrees with you that the 13th is good???
That's great. Gotta be nice to have someone agree with you.

How about all the rest of the amendments that have torn the origonal to threads? Do you love them as well?

Joseph smith said.
"The Constitution should contain a provision that every officer of the Government who should neglect or refuse to extend the protection guaranteed in the Constitution should be subject to capital punishment"

That is the only change he wanted. The only change.
Do you know better the will of God then joseph smith???

I simply brought it to your attention because you said that there cannot and should not be any change to the Constitution. Joseph Smith disagreed with you. And even though that was the only change he wanted at the time, he did not say there cannot or should not be any other changes. The 13th amendment abolishing slavery was in perfect harmony with the word of God, and therefore, I am sure both God and Joseph approved of it.

Hence I ask you your own question "Do you know better the will of God then Joseph Smith?"

That is false. It makes a great deal of difference. Otherwise the founders could have just written "piggady, buggady, boo" for the Constitution, and it would've been just as good.

It is not.

I'm not the one trying to do something different then what joseph smith said.

And no I dont think I do.

That's why I'm asking you why do you think you do?
What your preaching is not what the scriptures and prophets teach.

Why post the same thing over and over without you listening to it???? Ffa posted what john Taylor said about leaving the constitution unadulterated. Joseph smith call it a heavenly banner.

Ezra Taft benson said this

I have faith that the Constitution will be saved as prophesied by Joseph Smith. It will be saved by the righteous citizens of this nation who love and cherish freedom. It will be saved by enlightened members of this Church—among others—men and women who understand and abide the principles of the Constitution.

I reverence the Constitution of the United States as a sacred document. To me its words are akin to the revelations of God, for God has placed His stamp of approval upon it.

I testify that the God of heaven sent some of His choicest spirits to lay the foundation of this government, and He has now sent other choice spirits to help preserve it.


Choice spirit to preserve it. Preserve, not change.

I have no problem doing as joseph smith said.

Still does not change the fact that it will never happen while wicked people rule.

You purpose to do much more then joseph smith did. Which he couldn't make it happen because of the wicked men who rule. They killed him.

You just won't be able to make any change for good happen while wickedness rules.

Discussing how and what to change is a waist of time since it will never happen tell God makes it happen.

When God makes it happen. We will no longer have the us government.

Scriptures say that in the last days that the word will go forth out of jeruselum and the law from zion.

So durring my life the us government will be replaced. According to God.
And durring that time the constitution will be saved by the members of the church. Carried over to the new government.

God makes it happen through people like you and I. So it is not a waste of time, but is a part of the process. The same principles I am advancing now, will prevail then, because they are true.

Not the one we have now for sure.

I believe that. And I assure you, when this happens the Constitution will be changed according to the principles I am describing, because they are true, and God is their source. You will accept them either now or later, but they will prevail to the uttermost, with or without you.

Thank you.

The problem is what you just said. "The constitution will be changed to the principles (i) am describing. "
Not God you.

I know God has no problem with his constitutional principles being put back to order as they should be. As he created them.

You however are not God.

The principles I am describing came from God and are found in his scriptures. So they are his principles. I am simply repeating them. But he is their source.

Gods principles don't = force.

That is false. It makes a great deal of difference. Otherwise the founders could have just written "piggady, buggady, boo" for the Constitution, and it would've been just as good.

It is not.
Which part of the video did you not understand. The Constitution will not be saved in Washington. So changing it won't make a difference because it will be difficult enough just fighting and losing blood just to get what we lost back into play.
Perhaps you skipped watching the video altogether so you could purposely avoid President Benson's words of hardship and hope.

If the Constitution is to be rewritten, it will be written the way God wants it, in his words. He commands and he revokes. You cannot direct God as to what needs to be written in that document. It will be according to his thoughts and wants for us, not what "we think" should be in it. We cannot counsel God, this is a big no-no.

Well when you have lots of pride. You do know more then everyone eles . To lov ffa your wrong he's right. And won't look at anything that would prove his pride.
It's not an issue of the constitution. It's an issue of pride.

Remember to pray for our brother lov to have God help him and us find humility.

Gods principles = use force for justice/defense + use persuasion for everything else.

Proof from scripture:
  • But there is a law given, and a punishment affixed, and a repentance granted; which repentance, mercy claimeth; otherwise, justice claimeth the creature and executeth the law, and the law inflicteth the punishment; if not so, the works of justice would be destroyed, and God would cease to be God.(Alma 42:22)
