SHOULD CHRISTIANS RESIST TYRANNY? IS USA IN BONDAGE?
original post: 5/28/09 updated: 12/15/09
I print this knowing full well that I endanger myself by putting this out over the internet. But there are many things in life worth endangering one's self for. Though I don't put my name on this web page- the powers know exactly who I am. My primary devotion is to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and to preach truth no matter the cost. We are in an absolute emergency and the time of being able to express this kind of prophetic insight and truth will soon come to an end - UNLESS the church and all who truly love America, our Constitution and our LIBERTY, WAKES UP IMMEDIATELY!
My three inner battle cries:
1. GREATER LOVE HAS NO MAN THAN THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS John 15:13 (ALL human beings are my friends- I love them all- especially born-again Christians)
2. GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH Patrick Henry
3. "...MAN MUST NOT CARE HOW AND WHERE HE DIES, PROVIDED HE DIES AT THE POST OF HONOR AND DUTY." Abraham Lincoln
"Resistance to tyranny becomes the Christian and social duty of each individual. ... Continue steadfast and, with a proper sense of your dependence on God, nobly defend those rights which heaven gave, and no man ought to take from us."
John Hancock 1st Signer of the Declaration of Independence --History of the United States of America, Vol. II, p. 229.
“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
The Declaration of Independence _____________________________________________________
"Our safety, our liberty, depends upon preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution." - Abraham Lincoln _____________________________________________________
"...whenever the Legislators endeavour to take away, and destroy the Property of the People, or to reduce them to Slavery under Arbitrary Power, they put themselves into a state of War with the People, who are thereupon absolved from any farther Obedience..." John Locke ______________________________________________________
Rev. Charles Finney (1792- 1875) Attorney Turned Evangelist
"The Church must take right ground to politics... The time has come for Christians to vote for honest men, and take consistent ground in politics or the Lord will curse them...God cannot sustain this free and blessed country, which we love and pray for, unless the church will take right ground. Politics are a part of religion in such a country as this, and Christians must do this duty to their country as part of this duty to God...God will bless or curse this nation according to the course Christians take in politics."
(Those "Christians" [including some "well-respected" evangelical apologetics ministers] who still demonize Finney, are not only DEAD WRONG but they are either merely spewing what they have learned in error or they are pro-Masonic/ Jesuit coadjutors masquerading as evangelical Christians. As an X Mason, Finney preached directly and vociferously against Freemasonry, which is why some modern apostate "evangelical" imposters, still demonize and assassinate Finney's orthodox beliefs.) __________________________________________________
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) Signer of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence:

Patrick Henry (1736-1799) American Revolutionary Leader:
"Whether this [new government] will prove a blessing or a curse will depend upon the use our people make of the blessings, which a gracious God hath bestowed on us. If they are wise they will be great and happy... If they are of a contrary character, they will be miserable. Righteousness alone can exalt them as a nation [Proverbs 14:34]. Reader! Who ever thou art, remember this, and in thy sphere practice virtue." ___________________________________________________
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) Third President of the United States
"... if we are to guard against ignorance and remain free, it is the responsibility of every American to be informed."
"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them"
"No man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

'...FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.'
nuff said... ask God to tell you what that fully means!
(part of the oath, which all those who defend and serve our country are SWORN to uphold, protect and defend)
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.So help me God."
I became aware several months after posting this article, of a growing group of patriots who understand EXACTLY what it means to uphold the solemn oath of service and how EXTREMELY IMPORTANT their message is right now. Their group is called Oath Keepers. ALL patriots and especially active or retired military forces and intelligence members MUST VIEW THIS VIDEO PLEASE!
1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.
2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people
3. We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to military tribunal.
4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on a state.
5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty.
6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.
7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.
8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to “keep the peace” or to “maintain control."
9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies.
10.We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.
"About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:
‘A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.’
‘A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.’
‘From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.’
‘The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years.’
‘During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. from bondage to spiritual faith; 2. from spiritual faith to great courage; 3. from courage to liberty; 4. from liberty to abundance; 5. from abundance to complacency; 6. from complacency to apathy; 7. from apathy to dependence; 8. from dependence back into bondage.
So WHERE are we, citizens of the United States in the historically proven Life Cycle of Nations?
I proffer to answer that question (Where are we?) by saying that we are plunging headlong into national bondage. Large portions of our populace are ALREADY IN BONDAGE, WHICH THEY PREFER, HAVE CHOSEN AND LONG FOR ALL THE MORE! The glaring example of that is the rise, acceptance, glorification and kow-towing to Barack Hussein Obama and his large marxist contingent (by an INITIAL majority of voters- no longer) now ushering the most draconian and dangerous policies that our country has EVER suffered (I include pre-Revolutionary America)! Our economy and Constitutional Republic will not survive chairman Obama without God's divine intervention!
The following articles document government intentions and/or actions to commit TYRANNY against ALL Americans and particularly Christians:
Calling ALL Christian patriots: STAND UP! SPEAK OUT! PETITION OUR GOVERNMENT! Our country has been fooled and is now being put into BONDAGE! We are being economically gutted and our CONSTITUTION has been usurped! God has promised us that:
IF MY PEOPLE, WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY, AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR LAND. II Chronicles 7:14
REMEMBER THE ORDER OF OBEDIENCE IN THIS OATH! THOUGH GOD IS NOT MENTIONED FIRST, AS CHRISTIANS, WE KNOW THAT OUR FIRST AND PRIMARY ALLEGIANCE AND OBEDIENCE IS TO GOD ALMIGHTY! THE MOST IMPORTANT AND PRIMARY FOCUS OF THIS OATH IS TO "SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION" NOT PRIMARILY THE PRESIDENT!!! THE PRESIDENT CAN BE SUPPORTED ONLY IF HE SUPPORTS AND DEFENDS THE CONSTITUTION! IT UNFORTUNATELY, DOESN'T FIRST MENTION GOD BUT AS CHRISTIANS WE CANNOT FORCE PEOPLE TO TAKE AN OATH TO GOD BUT THIS OATH DOES INVOKE GOD'S HELP IN FULFILLING IT.
You couldn't tell me for a moment that those who have taken this oath of service and who understand and embody that oath whether they officially took it or not, are not under the most severe suspicion, scrutiny and attack by our current leftist government and media complex. It is our duty to examine ourselves; seek Jesus and be purified in His Word. Only then can we truly 'be as one' with Christ and His body of authentic disciples.
Only the spiritually shallow, deceived and brainwashed "believers" hold to a passive form of Christianity that says nothing and does nothing when tyrants and despots take over their government. I am not advocating violence but certainly believe in self-defense. Under such grounds, we declared a revolution and defended ourselves against evil government. We are now in the midst of a communist takeover of our government. Christians must know that we do not owe blind obedience to any person, organization or government.
"The contention that Christians should simply lay down and comply with even the most hideous requirements of government is an old argument. It was thoroughly debated by America's Christian founders when they took up arms to defend their declaration of independence in 1776 – and even before at Lexington and Concord when British troops tried to take away their arms.
Many of the founders were biblical scholars – and well aware of Paul's warning in Romans 13:1-7, most often the text cited by the new defenders of the "divine right of kings":
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
I believe we profoundly dishonor our heroic and inspired founders when we accuse them of disobeying Paul's admonition and an even graver disservice to the Word of God when we read too much into seven verses in one book of the Bible to the exclusion of the complete context of its 66 books." Please read the rest of this convincing article if you are confused or torn about Christians resisting tyranny.
Those who believe in the original meaning of the oath are being demonized even in movies. 'Wolverine' is the latest movie that overtly demonizes those who deeply cleave to this oath. The infamous colonel Striker, who re-creates Wolverine (played fantasticly by Hugh Jackman) is given carte blanche to create the ultimate destroying machine and as he is told to stop what he is doing by his superior, he perversely quotes the sacred oath ("enemies foreign and domestic") as his wicked justification and then skewers his commanding General with a sword. This is clearly propaganda designed to portray all those who have taken that oath as being potential terrorists and rogue enemies of the state. The character 'Striker' certainly is a madman and warps the oath that he has taken to serve his own twisted pathology but our good soldiers, officers and patriots in our country's service are NOT 'Strikers,' they are heroes who need to remember (as all patriots must now do) that we have a high, sacred oath that brave men and women have spilled their blood and given their lives now for 233 years. We have pledged our lives to protect and defend our country and our Constitution- for the great country that our even greater God gave us. The mighty men, women and patriots must now speak out, rise and be counted before our Constitution and freedoms are destroyed! We can still make the crucial difference by speaking out now.
The scenario that our founding fathers feared the most and created the constitution to protect us ALL from, is happening before our very eyes. The major intention of our founding fathers was to create a Constitution that would allow all classes of people in our country, EQUAL representation. They realized THEN, (especially after Shay's Rebellion) that the PEOPLE would no longer tolerate a government, for, of and by an elite ruling class because the PEOPLE WOULD again overthrow tyrannical government! Our founding fathers came to fully realize that they led by the 'consent of the governed' and that OUR RIGHTS DON'T COME FROM THE GOVERNMENT BUT FROM GOD! People who don't believe that, cannot even begin to understand the spiritual wisdom of our Constitution, let alone be ruled by it, which is why arrogant and ungodly men and women, have been able to revise it's meaning and re-interpret it to fit their own personal beliefs.
Most Americans know that "something" is drastically wrong in our government and our society, though even most Christians don't know why or don't want to know that we are facing the very destruction of our country and abrogation of the precious document that upholds our country and our GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS. Unfortunately, a country usually gets the type of leadership that it deserves. This ministry certainly advocates for godliness and restoration of the original intent of our Constitution, which has been highly re-interpreted, revised in its meaning and/ or selectively ignored. The original intent of our Constitution was upheld for over 150 years. Constitutional interpretation and tradition began to be eroded in the early 20th century. By the end of the 1940's, our Supreme Court began to make some decisions that were not based on previous decisions and Constitutional juris prudence. Some terrible decisions were made and we have been headed downward ever since.
However, in recent decades, the same elite groups that inspired Supreme court members to make ungodly and un-Constitutional decisions, now rule our political, "2 party system." One party is ruled by their far left wing and the other party has been co-opted by neo-con globalists, who merely pose as "conservatives," and ironically get elected by fooling the Chrisitian "right" base. The shocker is that they are merely two sides of the same coin, as both sides are actually exhibiting extremely fascist tendencies of government-married-to-multinational-corporation, "New World Order" (or as I like to say "Odor") continues to take complete control of our country and our world! (Whose actual goal is to cause utter world chaos, so that "they" can then IMPOSE their nihilistic, draconian "global government"!) If you find this to be ungodly, conspiracy theorizing, then I propose that you acquaint yourself with Bible prophecy because we are presently seeing before our very eyes, the global government of Antichrist, arise! No, Christians need not fear or fixate upon this but GOD is calling His children to be wise and not go along with this ungodly government, nor elect dangerous leaders, especially when evil is rising so strongly in our own country! WHILE WE STILL CAN SPEAK OUT WE MUST! BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN FOUGHT VALIANTLY, BLED AND DIED FOR THE COUNTRY AND CONSTITUTION THAT GOD GAVE US! CHRISTIANS MUST WAKE UP, BE HEARD AND ALL VOTE ACCORDINGLY!
I am not advocating violence whatsoever, though all Americans have the GOD-GIVEN right and DUTY to defend themselves, our Constitution and our Constitutional rights. What I am advocating is for Christian patriots to agree together in spiritual warfare (aggressive prayer/ proclaiming in faith / binding evil by proclaming in faith as our Lord Jesus has given us authority!) that this current attack upon us and our Constitution and this regime, WILL NOT PREVAIL- WILL NOT STAND. God will do this if we stand on the Truth of God's Word and TRUST COMPLETELY IN JESUS TO MOVE ON OUR BEHALF. I discern by the Spirit that God is waiting to hear from more of you and for us to STAND TOGETHER IN FAITH AND THEN GOD WILL REVEAL THE EVIL NOW ATTEMPTING TO DESTROY AMERICA AND OUR CONSTITUTION! GOD IS WAITING TO MOVE. GIVE YOUR ANGER AND ANY HATRED TO GOD! HE HAS PROMISED TO MOVE ON OUR BEHALF IF WE WILL REPENT AND SPIRITUALLY STAND TOGETHER IN UNITY!
This will be extremely controversial to many of you but I prophesy in Jesus' wonderful name, that if we do what I have just written, (pray; repent of any anger or hatred against anyone, petition God, stand spiritually in agreement and unity) that God will move very quickly to change the direction of our government.
God WILL HONOR the millions of American patriots who shed their blood and who laid down their lives for the God they loved God and for God's supernatural establishment of our country. OUR GOD LOVES AMERICA AND OUR GOD IS EXTREMELY READY TO MOVE ON OUR BEHALF IF WE ONLY REPENT, TRUST IN AND OBEY JESUS! THIS NATIONAL CRISIS IS A BURDEN AND A TASK THAT ONLY GOD CAN PREVAIL OVER AND WE MUST FIRST SEEK AND WAIT UPON HIM! DON'T GET AHEAD OF GOD OR TRY TO PLAY GOD! WORD! BE READY TO MOVE ON HIS COMMAND!
"BRITAIN appears to be evolving into the first modern soft totalitarian state. As a sometime teacher of political science and international law, I do not use the term totalitarian loosely.
There are no concentration camps or gulags but there are thought police with unprecedented powers to dictate ways of thinking and sniff out heresy, and there can be harsh punishments for dissent.
Nikolai Bukharin claimed one of the Bolshevik Revolution's principal tasks was "to alter people's actual psychology". Britain is not Bolshevik, but a campaign to alter people's psychology and create a new Homo britannicus is under way without even a fig leaf of disguise.
The Government is pushing ahead with legislation that will criminalise politically incorrect jokes, with a maximum punishment of up to seven years' prison. The House of Lords tried to insert a free-speech amendment, but Justice Secretary Jack Straw knocked it out. It was Straw who previously called for a redefinition of Englishness and suggested the "global baggage of empire" was linked to soccer violence by "racist and xenophobic white males". He claimed the English "propensity for violence" was used to subjugate Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and that the English as a race were "potentially very aggressive".
In the past 10 years I have collected reports of many instances of draconian punishments, including the arrest and criminal prosecution of children, for thought-crimes and offences against political correctness."
Though there used to be a major technical difference concerning citizenship of the English and Americans (they are "subjects" of the queen and the government and only have personal freedoms that have been "given" to them by their government). Our government is quickly morphing into a "soft" totalitarian government like England and is simply ignoring out our rights and freedoms, which supposedly were given BY GOD and are also guaranteed to us by our Constitution. Our government obviously considers us to be "subjects" of the government and no longer 'sovereign citizens' of the United States of America.
Update: 8/26/09 "Soft totalitarianism" is now turning into Stalinist/Marxist tactics:
The plight of Fox News' Glen Beck is the prime example of what "dissenters" and criticizers of Obama and his "administration" will face. Within a short period of time, a coup led by a "czar" in the White House, has so threatened Becks' advertizers, that he has lost most of them, though his audience is huge and growing. This video is why Obama and his marxist thugs have assassinated Beck's character. Beck revealed that numerous radical marxist thugs are now advising the president:
Didn't Jefferson say something important about some 'tree of liberty'? Please look it up!
Wake up all true Americans, patriots, Christians and all who value their freedom. It is about to be stripped from you unless our merciful God intervenes AND all able patriots and lovers of liberty work to expose this evil kabal. It only took a few hackers to expose “climategate.” There must be more of you out there who can expose the inner workings of the globalist sausage factory before all of us who love freedom are turned into globalist sausage! Now is the time to blow the whistle and expose these globalist Nazis- before their coup is completed and we become a third world country behooven to the likes of global dictators. I myself will not bend or bow and my battle cry will forever be”
LIVE FREE OR DIE
What is freedom worth to you?
What is preserving whatever freedoms we still have under our Constitution still worth to you?
What is restoring our nation to the original meaning of the Constitution worth to you?
Do you realize just how your life is about to dramatically change with all of the draconian Marxist legislation now being rammed through congress, including an economic bill and “cap and trade” bill that will gut our economy that is already gasping for air?
Do you realize what Obamacare will do to your freedoms, your health and your tax bill? Oh- not to mention the medieval system that we will end up giving our wealth and privacy up to?
Does the liberal-leaning young people who unwittingly voted for Obama in droves, realize that they will have to purchase health insurance under penalty of fine and even imprisonment?
You are about to wake up in a government run- jack-booted thug-like society, more reminiscent of Nazi Germany than the America we have known. Realize that this is the work of the cry-baby, psychotic hateful leftists who dare to call themselves “democrats.” They are carrying out a marxist coup right in front of our eyes. They will re-distribute our wealth and cause as much social and economic chaos that they can while doing this.
No- I don’t carry water for the neo-con global socialists either- many who call themselves “republican” but are anything but real conservatives or republicans. Bush was the ultimate Rockefeller republican / imposter, whose ultimate goal was to pull the plug on our economy and assure that a hard left (we got a Marxist), America-hating president would be elected. If Obama’s agenda succeeds- our country will be decimated. He is also bound and determined to enter into treaties that supercede our Constitution- that could make us a submissive slave-vassal state of the UN, New World Oder government, which is now rising.
