It’s getting to the point where 1st century Christians have little on today’s Christians in the area of persecution even though 21st century Christians (in the industrialized nations) are not being thrown into dens with hungry tigers and lions, nor are they being burned at the stake as they were during the Dark Ages when the Catholic Church attempted to stop the Christian’s thirst for a personal knowledge of his Savior, Jesus Christ.
Today, in the United States where American citizens are
theoretically protected by the Constitution, the persecution of anyone for
their religious beliefs is a violation of constitutional law. Very clearly,
the 1st Amendment of the Constitution says:“Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”…Further, the Constitution assures us that we can worship
as we choose without interference from the government.Yet that “interference” happens 24-7 in every city, in every
State, in the nation. And the U.S. Justice Department, which is the
caretaker of the constitutional privileges found under the rule of law has
done nothing to protect those who are persecuted. Why? you ask. Because the
Justice Department is charged with the task of persecuting (of, if you
prefer, maliciously prosecuting) Christians who dare to exercise their
religious rights under the Constitution.Sadly, Christians are no longer a protected class in
America. Sadder yet is the fact that America rose to become the greatest
nation in the history of mankind only because God blessed America for its
witness of Him.….Christianity suddenly became a square peg in the
proverbial round hole.Christianity teaches, and acknowledges, that Jesus Christ is
the one and only incarnate Son of God. That a virgin, impregnated by the
Holy Spirit, gave birth to God–Jesus, the Messiah–and that we will achieve
eternal life in Heaven only through Him. Christians understand that Jesus
atoned for our sins with His shed blood. And it is only through His death
and resurrection that we are saved. …Buried within Christianity’s or Judaism’s theological no-nos
are the core tenets of most of the world’s other religions–including
the fastest growing religion in the world: Islam. And, that’s the
rub. Christianity is now viewed as the religion of exclusivity–the world’s
religion of hate.To the secular globalists who are structuring the
framework of governance for the New World Order as a society of
inclusiveness, there is no room in their humanist Garden of Eden for
a religion that excludes homosexuals, lesbians, atheists, polytheists….
And, because of that, there is no room in the “New World Order Inn” for
Christianity.At the end of World War II when the United Nations was
reshaped from the failed League of Nations,
globalism was the vision of the future
and a one world government, one world economy and one world religion was the
core objective. The industrialized nations opened their doors to the
impoverished peoples of the third world as Europe’s Asian and African
empires crumbled into the communist dictatorships of the 50s, 60s and 70s.
Those decades became the era of the political refugee.With the influx of new citizens came new theologies. Some of
these new citizens were polytheists. Some were monotheists. Some were
atheists. All of them resented the Christian’s Jesus. Jesus was the God of
exclusively. In the 1940’s the most Christian nation in the world suddenly
came under siege when theists with different world views settled here and in
the other industrialized Caucasian nations that are largely Christian in
perspective.The attack on Christianity began shortly after the United
States joined the newly disguised League of Nations that was now adroitly
garbed in red, white and blue and renamed the United Nations. The League was
even given a high visibility, posh New York address even though the power
of the UN remained in Brussels, Belgium.The first assault on Christianity began with Everson
v Board of Education (330 US 1, 18) in 1947. In Everson, the U.S. Supreme
Court decreed that the 1st Amendment created a wall of separation between
church and State. In point of fact, it did not. The simple reality was
that the 1st Amendment forbids the government from creating a
State-sponsored religion, or obligating its citizens to worship, or not
worship, in a specific manner–precisely what government is now doing. It is
important also to note that the 1st Amendment places all of the restrictions
on government, not the people.The U.S. Supreme Court separation doctrine does not come
from the Constitution of the United States. Rather, it comes from Article 13
of the UN Declaration on Human Rights which the high court saw fit to
couple with the U.S. Bill of Right to arrive at its convoluted conclusion.Article 13 says: “Freedom to manifest one’s religion or
beliefs may be subject only to such limitations that are prescribed by law.”
When the U.S. Supreme Court rules in religious freedom issues today, its
decisions are not based on the inalienable rights guaranteed under the Bill
of Rights, but the conditional rights promised under the Declaration of
Human Rights. Look at them side by side, and ponder the most recent
court decisions on religious ‘freedom.”
You will note that
in the Bill of Rights, all of the restrictions are
placed on the government.In the Declaration of Human Rights, all of the
restrictions are placed on the citizen.In every local, state, or federal court decision dealing
with religious freedom in the United States, the restrictions are
illegally placed on the Christian, and on Christianity as a whole, not
on the government where the Founding Fathers placed the restrictions.
In 1947 and again in 1948 when the U.S. Supreme
Court ruled that voluntary church release programs that allowed students,
with the consent of their parents, to attend religious training–in their
own church–violated the rights of atheists who attend no churches.In McCollum v Board of Education (333 US 203, 207-209)
Vashti McCollum, a Champaign, Illinois atheist, asked the court not only
to kill the voluntary religious program, but to forbid any type of religious
training for children in the United States if that suggested there was a
God.The religious training in Illinois was funded by the
churches. The students who participated received their religious training at
their family church. And, most of all, the State of Illinois sanctioned the
program and authorized the time release. While McCollum was seeking a
national ban on religious education, the U.S. Supreme Court would not
touch that sacred cow. Instead they killed the Illinois program as a
violation of the wall of separation between Church and State.Over the years, as America became more theologically and
culturally diverse, the federal court system began relying more and more
on UN legal precepts and less on the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of
Rights. Of course, since the Supreme Court is now codifying UN law into
American case law, its hard to tell where one ends and the other begins.But there is a common thread woven through almost every
Church-State case that has ever been heard by the Supreme Court . That
common thread is the American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU was created in
1920 (coinciding with the creation of the League of Nations) in order to
wage war against the Constitution by destroying the latchpin of
democracy–the rule of law–and implement the communist precept of social
justice in the United States….America is a country that was founded as a Christian nation
based on Christian ideals, integrity and upon the principle that man’s
rights are derived not from other men, but from God. To steal the liberty of
the American people the utopians at the gate knew it would first be
necessary to steal America’s God–or make that God unpopular enough, or
politically-incorrect enough that man would reject Him as unnecessary in
a modern world. Once God has been repudiated as the Supreme Being, man’s
liberty then becomes as conditional as his God.Over the past two decades the ACLU has fought Christians on
every front to eliminate all vestiges of Jesus from Americana–even to the
extent of outlawing the use of the word “Christmas” because it contains the
Greek word for Messiah, the “Anointed One”–Christos–in its name.Today, it has become politically incorrect to wish someone a
Merry Christmas out of fear that we will offend those who are Muslim,
Buddhist, Jew, atheist or homosexual (since Jesus is projected by the
Christophobes as a homophobic). …….since the banning of Christianity is pretty much
progressing along on schedule to coincide with the timeline of the
globalists who are, themselves, pretty much right on schedule to bring you
is version of a shiny new world government by the end of this decade.
