[E]xamine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; abstain from every form of evil. (1 Thessalonians 5:21-22) President Trump, America’s King Cyrus? In Part 2, I began a biblical examination of President Trump’s inaugural speech. For everyone who looks to Yahweh1 as their sovereign and thus His Word as their authority, I cannot […]

I appreciate much that Pastor Baldwin stands for. As compared with most of today’s pastors, he’s one in a million. Given the time to sit down and compare notes, he and I would probably find more that we agree than disagree on. Nevertheless, I couldn’t differ with him more when it comes to his promotion […]
Swallowing Camels… Pt. 6

In this article, I address another of the Constitution’s more serious “camels”—which Christians should be choking on instead of swallowing. Article 3’s Judicial Usurpation On June 27, 2005, in Van Orden v. Perry, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas declared, “All told, this Court’s jurisprudence leaves courts, governments, and believers and nonbelievers alike confused—an observation that […]

In this article, I address another of the Constitution’s more serious “camels”—which Christians should be choking on instead of swallowing. Article 2’s Executive Usurpation Isaiah 33:22 informs us that Yahweh1 is our judge, lawgiver, and king. This means He alone is sovereign: He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and […]

In this article, I continue to address some of the Constitution’s more serious “camels”—which Christians should be choking on instead of swallowing. Article 1’s Legislative Usurpation Noah Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language defines a “legislator” as “a lawgiver, one who makes laws….”1 How does this definition and Article 1’s Legislative Branch comport […]

In the previous series, “Straining at Gnats…,” I addressed what is regrettably an all too common malady among people who call themselves Constitutional Christians—that is, the propensity to try to read the Bible into the Constitution or, at least, into the minds of its framers. The extent that some people go in their attempt to […]

In this article, I complete my examination of Mr. Fortenberry’s “Hidden Facts of the Founding Era,” in which he proposes forty-eight points that allegedly prove the Constitution was based upon the Bible. Point #45 “Article 6 – ‘All debts contracted and engagements entered into, before the adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against […]
