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.freedomforall wrote: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.LoveIsTruth wrote: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.Ezra wrote:The problem remains the same. A wicked government and people will never accept the change. Nor allow it. You would still have to change hearts befor you could change the constitution. And if you changed hearts the need to change the constitution goes away with the change of heart.
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 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:Evil people will still seek evil and cling to it and or even espouse or promote it.
Indeed!freedomforall wrote:Just how many ways can this be articulated before it is understood.
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.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.
