Episode 426:Christmas Constitutional Covenant Chaos

See the link for the video of ‘Christmas Constitutional Covenant Chaos’ at Rumble or YouTube

Are you scratching your chin wondering what might be the story of Christmas Constitutional Covenant Chaos? You ask, What is my wildChaos imagination drawing up now from the deep historical relevance of Christmas and Constitutionalism?

I’m going to keep this in the context of covenant, relative constitutionalism, the legal chaos of Christmas. As with other programs of this nature, I am going to take you all over the universe from the light of creation to our present humanistic destitute daemons of democracy flashing their white asses in politically hallowed halls. How’s that for ‘deck the halls?’

Just a Reminder:

Wishing you all a Blessed Remembrance of Christ birth into humanity for our salvation.

With that Liberty that He gives:

The people themselves must be the chief support of liberty. While the great body of the freeholders are acquainted with the duties which they owe to their God, to themselves, and to men, they will remain free. But if ignorance and depravity should prevail, they will inevitably lead to slavery and ruin.”

— Oliver Ellsworth at the Connecticut Ratifying Convention, 1788.

Conclusion

When it comes to Christmas Constitutional Covenant and Chaos, you wont make it to the full conclusion so I will sum it up here.

The Chaos of Christmas is the tolerance of evil at every level in every institution that governs mankind, beginning with the pulpits.

Chaos in Constitutionalism is the tolerance of deception, evil, in education and the merger of government with business to the demise of foundational Liberty. As well as the excessive violation of keeping an ‘oath of office’ by the bureaucrats and mostly the elected. See what St. George Tucker writes about these who are then ‘guilty of usurpation, and contempt of the sovereign authority.’ See the full references on Oath violation here.

The Chaos of Covenant in respect to the previous two is that deep seated relationships and mutual responsibility in those is seldom found let alone understood in these United States of self-indulgence and self (period).

In the end, evil and tolerance are allowed to persist by putting them center stage and making kings of them. Yes, these have existed since the fall of Adam but, when the Christ of Christmas is relegated to the gaffer on the set then the whole play turns to the tragedies worse than those of ancient Greece of Shakespeare.

Seek the Lord, Jesus the Christ, The Reason For the Season. Tolerate evil and the evil plus tolerance together become the lord of the dance.

8-29-20 Covenant “Promises Made = Promises Kept”

Covenant Covenant - Promises made and kept

What is Covenant? The very concept of Covenant is not a part of our language, not even in Christian circles. This theological concept was in fact a core component of what was understood in our Founders era. Yes, The interactive relationship between individuals, society and individuals as well as the first Covenant of the inner determination of God in three persons to establish salvation were Founders premises for governance.

The American Founders looked at the Reformation context for the definition of Covenant. Here is a simple definition:

The term “covenant” is of Latin origin (con venire), meaning a coming together. It presupposes two or more parties who come together to make a contract, agreeing on promises, stipulations, privileges, and responsibilities. 1

In this program, I am covering the use of Covenant in Foundational writings including the Constitution of Massachusetts, writings about Sam Adams, letters or documents written to or by Sam Adams and a perspective from John Witherspoon in his work “Lectures On Moral Society.” Continue reading

8-31-19 The Law – Part 2

The Law: Part 2 

The Law as seen put into practice in our present time needs more than one discussion. The Law: Part 2 is a continuation of the historical and foundational truths regarding the supremacy of law in relationship to everything. No different then the extensibility of the Gospel, the whole law of God is manifested in every aspect of His creation. Yet we learn via the reference noted below from LONANG.COM that our foundational historical context of law degenerated about the same time as the ‘social gospel’ made its rage in America.

I somewhat delve into Federalist No. 37 in this program because Madison, as a student of Dr. Witherspoon, has a clear understanding of the fallen nature of mankind. In No. 37, Madison does more than defend the ‘convention of ’87’. He takes us on that journey that encompasses the ‘Laws Of Nature and Natures God’. He looks at natural science, psychology, authority, communication and human bias. Continue reading

12-6-14 Program: Why the Anti-federalist Are the Constitutional Interpreters?

This week I elaborate on how many of the Colonist actually knew the law and understood the English Constitution in great detail.  The Colonist were for the most part highly literate and understood law not just from a legalize perspective but from a Reformation Covenant perspective.

We will also discuss what the Founders intended for education was based on what they learned and what has been left out of the modern political science conversation completely: The Anti-federalists are in fact the final determiners of Constitutional interpretation, Not the Federalist Paper!  Find out why by listening to this Program.

All audios below are in radio programs segment order:

Segment 1: Anti-federalists the final authority and intro do Founders education

Segment 2:  How the Founders were educated and what they learned

Segment 3:  Intro to Altusius and Federalism
