No The US among others are secular states based off of the idea of a democratically elected government.

I thought I asked ‘What is the greatest commandment?'; yet still I cannot remember a pertinent answer from you. Please try and tell me again.

What is the greatest commandment? Use as few Words as you must.

you asked two questions.

How is the most important commandment related to politics?

maybe you should have this switched to the theology,doctrine, and dogma thread.

You asked the red question twice and the blue once if you did not want a response on the red question why ask it? Not to mention what is the topic of this thread?

it seems to me that the blue question is not relevant to the topic you yourself created.

D'evil incarnate claims Christian

Post #7

Post by r~ »

D’evil incarnate claims Christian no matter wanting and praying and claiming and Believing does not necessarily make it so. And if you will not find a way to admit simple truth, how and who are you to judge well regulated governance? ’no matter legions of symbols or letters and words and books and Bibles 0r other images graven by fleshy fingers

bonus question
What is the greatest commandment of well regulated governance?
bonus point
Articulate your best answer most concisely and in as few words as necessary.
0r forever hold your peace.

What is the greatest commandment?

No they are not.

Christ taught denial of self, obedience and avoiding worldly things. The USA was started on the ideals of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.
First Epistle to the Church of the Thessalonians
The truth will make you free.
Gospel of John

do not judge the sins of others

Post #10

Post by r~ »

do not judge the sins of others; that right is reserved for god alone
Christ who told you that. And why are you still waving back and forth as if pinned to a bloody maple leaf? And how many waves will it take before you can unpin your mind and float into the light and above the fray? I am still lead to believe the greatest commandment is love all god’s children as your own and neighbors like you too.

Do you reserve the right of equal and peaceful and well regulated pursuit of happiness? What is your best definition of liberty? What is the greatest commandment of well regulated governance no matter listed ninth?

What is the rule of Law?

peace
ron

thou shall not construe any law to deny or disparage the self retained right of equal and peaceful and well regulated pursuit of happiness
