BREAKING THE SILENCE !
HOW CAN WE STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT IN GOD ’ S EYES WHEN WE CAN ’ T EVEN SAY HIS NAME ?
BY REV . TAMMIE D . CROFT
The First Amendment of the Constitution states : “ Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion , or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ; or abridging the freedom of speech , or of the press ; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble , and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances .” As blessed as America is to have this article to live by , it has also turned into a controversial problem . It has become controversial because religion itself has become contentious . The Constitution was written in 1787 , making it 230 years old . In that century , America was founded on the beliefs of the Anglican Church . The Evangelical movement formed a little later , however , at that time religion equaled the Christian church .
Christian religion was the only religion that the writers could have been considering or even influenced by . The church had a great influence on the writers of the Constitution then , much like it is having on our new President today .
While there is some controversy between the Anglicans and the Evangelicals , their beliefs are still on God and the written word which is the Bible . At some point , however , this generation has fallen under a stronghold of evil . People who have been influenced by a desire to serve Satan and his kingdom , have used the Constitution to justify their desire to worship anything and everything but God . Satan has managed to take the Christians ’ own words and use them against the church .
This has happened much like the abuse of the Bible . We see people every day using the Bible and turning scripture around to mean what need it to , in order to justify the wrong in their lives . I personally believe that if the Muslim and like religions , church of scientology and like religions , satanic churches and like religions had been in existence in our country at the time of the writing of the Constitution , it would most likely have been written differently . I wholeheartedly believe
