He examines it Biblically and historically. A foundational understanding that helped our Founding Fathers is Contra Tyrannos (full title Vindiciae Contra Tyrannos), as well as numerous sermons in their day spelling out a Biblical basis for legal, righteous resistance (not least, the Declaration), because authority being ordained by God, it is thereby limited in its scope of ordained use of power. Lex Rex: this was the message of all the prophets to their kings. We the People are responsible, which is why we (and not just the kings) suffer judgment for inaction in upholding His Law. - Pat Henry Mon, 20 Apr 2009 08:00:03 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/4768#comment-972 America's problems are of a Spiritual nature. - MarkGlen Sun, 19 Apr 2009 16:56:35 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/4768#comment-969 I would suggest changing the name of the John Birch Society to The New John Birch Society. I joined a year ago. I make a good living in small business, and when I tell business associates of JBS, they claim its a radical right wing group that has no mainstream appeal anymore. They say it was big way back in the 60s. How do we re-sell JBS to mainstreet business people again? I am convinced 90% of small business owners agree with all we are doing, but they don't realize how applicable JBS is in their beliefs. - Thomas Paine Sun, 19 Apr 2009 15:31:26 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/4768#comment-967 Why and when nations fall Why nations fall: Proverbs 28:2 (NLT) “When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily. But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability” When nations fall: Genesis 15:16 (NLT) “ After four generations your descendants will return here to this land, for the sins of the Amorites do not yet warrant their destruction.” Nations fall when the people’s sins demand it. - MarkGlen Sun, 19 Apr 2009 10:56:35 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/4768#comment-964 We attended 2 Tea Partys, In COncord and Manchester, NH. Both where well attended, especially Manchester, which started later for working folks to come. Great to ba with this movement, exercizing our first ammendment right of freedom. The signs where great way to express the full range of issues, but mostly the outrageous ailouts and passing debt onto future generations. Just dispicable. Can't wait for the next rally! April 25 End the Fed in Boston! and more this summer. - Sydney Walsh Sat, 18 Apr 2009 13:48:01 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/4768#comment-962 I went to the one in Modesto, Ca. It was a big showing. Thousands showed up (the local rag said hundreds.) I think this could be the start of something big. I am very proud to have taken part in it. - Charles_Byrd Sat, 18 Apr 2009 13:15:45 +0100
