*The United States Constitution

There are 15,000 writings in the United States Constitution.  3,154 are quotes from the Bible.  This means that 34% of all political quotes in the constitution came from the Bible.  The Bible is the most frequently quoted source in the Constitution.  The next nearest quoted source is only 1/4 the number of quotes of the Bible.  The next nearest is 1/8 and the next nearest is 1/12 the quotes in comparison to that quoted from the Bible in the constitution.  It is obvious that what the framers of the constitution meant by separation of Church and state is not how it is being interpreted today.  Separation of Church and State did not mean to not base our government and laws on the teaching of the Bible nor to consider it in making those laws, but rather referred to giving special consideration to any one Christian denomination and making it a state religion as England did, thus outlawing and forbidding any other chosen form of Christian expression and worship in society.  What is going on today in America is something quiet different, it is the eradication of the God of Christianity and the Bible in our society and Law making all together.  The framers of our constitution were Christians who never intended a secular government without consideration to God and His laws.  They knew well Psalm 127:1 "Unless Yehovah builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless Yehovah guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain."

*Three Branches of Government

Isaiah 33:22 “For Yehovah is our judge, Yehovah is our lawgiver, Yehovah is our king; He will save us–”

    Based on this passage our country formed three branches of Government: Judicial, Legislative and Administrative.

*Separation of Powers

Jeremiah 17:9 “The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; who can understand it?”

*Church Tax Exemption

Ezra 7:24 “We also inform you that it is not allowed to impose tax, tribute or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, doorkeepers, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God.”

*Unless God Guards the City

Psalm 127:1 "Unless Yehovah builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless Yehovah guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain."

Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of Yehovah is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."
