πŸ’₯ I would like to thank God for the Constitution of the United States which allows those of us who want to live according to the Bible to do so.

 
Comments by Joan Boney:
 
I am almost 87 years old, born in 1937.
 
I have just recently realized that we have a government which allows us to live freely according to each verse of the Holy Bible as God gives us understanding of the Holy Scriptures. 
 
I have read the entire Bible several times from cover to cover.

It is an amazing feat to be free to do each verse without interference of man, as we believe God wills.  

I'm sure many nations of men do not have this privilege.

The entire Bible is the word of God, inspired by God HIMSELF, who created the heaven and earth and all men.
 
2 Timothy 3
 
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.


By the Holy Bible we correct ourselves.  It shows us what we are to do to walk in the way of God and to please God.

And the Word is Jesus Himself.
 
πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Some receive Jesus as the Word, others do not, but we are free to do so and that is what is critical.

John 1
 
 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by HIM; and without HIM was not any thing made that was made.

4 In HIM  was life; and the life was the light of men.
 
God spoke, and the Word created everything that was created.
 
Hebrews 11:3  Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
 
If we were to build something we would have to gather the building materials first.  But God spoke and that which was created appeared simply by the word spoken.  
 
The Word is everything!
 
And we are free to do The Word in the USA.
 
Not all nations of men are free to speak the word.

Here is an example of a King who beheaded a man who spoke against adultery.
 
Matthew 14
 
 1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.

8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.

9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.

10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
 
 I'd rather not be beheaded for speaking the truth of God from the Bible and in USA we are free under our national constitution to speak any verse of scripture from the Holy Bible. I find this amazing.

And another great privilege for us is to be free "not to vote."

I do not vote, primarily because I do the following scripture:

2 John
 
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

(To me, to vote for a human would be to "wish that human God speed."  The Bible shows me if that human does evil I would then be considered by God to be partaker of his evil deeds and this would cause me to lose reward in heaven.)

I will pray for kings and those in authority, as Paul in the Holy Bible said to do, But I will not approve such by voting for a human.

2 Timothy 2

1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

6 Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Nations rise and fall at the will of God.  God sets up one and puts down another.  And there comes a time God will use an instrument of destruction to destroy a nation of men.  I believe Adolph Hitler was such an instrument.

God used instruments of destruction in I Kings 11 against king Solomon because Solomon failed to obey God's word twice which God had spoken directly to Solomon.

Be not partaker of other men's sins.  Keep yourself pure.  (I Timothy 5:22)

I heard a bewildered man say this on TV when Mr. Biden was still running against Mr. Trump:  "I don't know what to do.  One candidate is too old and the other too crazy."  (William Barr)  
 
Apparently it never occurred to him that he didn't have to vote.

Genesis 1

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called HE Seas: and God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: HE made the stars also.

17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in HIS own image, in the image of God created HE him; male and female created HE them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31 And God saw every thing that HE had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

"And God said" and "The Word" was that which caused the creation ... Therefore Jesus, The Word, was with God creating that which God spoke.

I have often spoken what the Bible says about adultery, fornication, homosexual, lesbians ... and I am still alive at 87 to speak what I read in the Holy Bible.

In the USA I am protected "and free to speak" verses of the Bible which explain to us the will of God.

The founders of this nation did a great job forming the constitution so we can still speak every scripture of the Holy Bible as God enables.

 (I began to understand this when I saw the gang which Donald Trump called to Washington DC and set them forth to attack the capitol and stop the government from functioning as we have know this government for more than 200 years on January 6, 2021.)

And fear was loosed in government officials and justice thwarted.

Eccl. 3:8  If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for HE that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.

When men who judge are afraid to judge, remember, "there be higher than they."  God will judge the issue.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Another serious problem today comes from people who try to make governments of men try to rule unbelievers by scriptures.  You cannot legislate godliness without being born again.  Many church goers are not born again.

The apostle Paul explains:

I Corinthians 2:14

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Without having the Holy Spirit of God in you, given by God, you cannot understand things of the Holy Bible by your natural mind.

So great problems arise when they try to make laws by Bible.  They once tried to legislate drinking by prohibition.  That failed.  Now they are trying to legislate other sins of this world such as abortion by laws of government of men and great fury results as the worldly women met with the laws of abortion and the church goers who are not born again by the Spirit of God.

I will explain this in tomorrow's writing.
