| THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS NOW CALLED THE TEN AMENDMENTS?
Wednesday, May 28, 2003
I have been working with former Congressman Bill Dannemeyer for
two years now to generate the passage of legislation that will uphold
voluntary prayer and the Ten Commandments. We have also been
working with Judge Roy Moore in
Alabama, a staunch defender of the Ten Commandments and of their
constitutionality! Judge Moore is a hero of our day!
Next week Senator Wayne Allerd (R–Co) will introduce in Congress
a bill that will support voluntary prayer and the Ten Commandments.
The bill is called “The Ten Commandments Defense Act of 2003”.
However, recently while discussing the bill with Congressman Dannemeyer,
I shared with him how we in Habersham County, Georgia were fighting
a lawsuit filed by a pastor, of all people, and the ACLU to have
all copies of the Ten Commandments removed from public buildings.
I told him that we were
given the option by the court to hang historical documents
up along
side the Ten Commandments and that hopefully this would satisfy
the court and settle the lawsuit.
But not so! After hanging the historical documents up with the
Ten Commandments it was not enough. Now we have been required, in
order to come
into compliance with the ACLU, the pastor, and the court –
to hang 2 copies of
the friezes containing 18 to 24 figures, including Mohammed, up
with the Ten Commandments on the wall of the public buildings. The
original friezes are hanging on the east and west wall of the U.S.
Supreme Court room.
We in Habersham County working to protect the Ten Commandments
voted
along with our County Commissioners to fight the requirement to
hang the friezes.
Congressman Dannemeyer was in Washington when I told him this.
He decided to walk over to the U.S. Supreme Court Building and see
the friezes. The
friezes were on the left wall and the right wall. In the center
over the heads of the Justices was a sunburst and Roman numerals
I – X
However, a curator told the Congressman that up to 10-years-ago,
the sunburst
represented God and the Roman numerals I – X represented the
Ten Commandments. Now, the curator said, we volunteers are required
to tell tour groups that the sunburst and the Roman numerals represent
the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution.
There is a movement in America to manipulate people into believing
that all of our rights are from the government – not from
God.
We need the bill “The Ten Commandments Defense Act of 2003”
passed so the existence of God will indeed be acknowledged in Congress.
Please pray. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord”
Psalms 32: 12
