A recent article in GodFather Politics bemoans President Obama’s Islamic sympathies and recent actions in an article entitled, “State Dept. Recruits Jihadists to Join Foreign Service.”
In what can only be described as a mind-boggling policy move, the State Department recruited Muslim participants at a conference sponsored by groups with ties to radical Islamists to become members of its foreign service.
This Administration’s blind trust of radical Islamists has led to the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Libya and elsewhere … Much has been written, outside the mainstream media, about the infiltration of the Obama Administration by the Muslim Brotherhood, particularly at the State Department, where Clinton’s top aide had undisputed family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. With the White House delivering F-16s to the radicals in charge of Egypt even as it tries to disarm Americans, it’s clear the wolves are in charge of the hen house.
BLOG comments call on Congress to “do something,” evidence of a prevailing Christian conservative MYTH: that government is able to police and somehow purge Islamic influences because America “was founded as a Christian nation.”
MythBusters conclusion: Congress can do nothing. This report is very disturbing, but it should be no surprise and is the inevitable outcome of the Constitution’s pluralistic First Amendment. Congress hands are tied because the First Amendment forbids it from interfering with the “free exercise” of religion.” Islam, Taoism, witchcraft and virtually any other religion are all perfectly acceptable under our godless Constitution.
The First Amendment is a direct violation of the First Commandment: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” The United States Constitution directly contradicts Biblical law on this and at least 75 other points and is thus in direct competition with the God of the Bible.
If we were functioning as a Christian nation the right to hold public office would be contingent on an oath-bound covenant to govern by the law of God. God’s perfect “law of liberty” (James 1:25; 2:12) is the only source of true justice. All competing law codes, including Sharia, Talmudic and atheistic humanism, are tyrannical and would be banned.
But again Article VI (par. 3) of the U.S. Constitution forbids any such religious test oath in direct contradiction to the Bible: “No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”
The Bible is full of such religious test oaths. One good example is Ex. 24:3 where “Moses came and recounted to the people all the words of the Lord and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, ‘All the words which the Lord has spoken we will do!’”
Many of the anti-Federalists understood this from the beginning, but most American Christians still don’t have a clue. “An anti-Federalist in North Carolina wrote: ‘The exclusion of religious tests is by many thought dangerous and impolitic….Pagans, Deists and Mahometans might obtain office among us.’ For another North Carolinian, David Caldwell, the prohibition of religious tests ‘constituted an invitation for Jews and Pagans of every kind to come among us’” (Isaac Kramnick, The New York Times, 1994).
All proposed laws would be tied directly to the Bible in a Christian nation. The Massachusetts Body of Liberties did exactly that. Numerous death penalty provisions of its penal code quote chapter and verse from the Pentateuch for their authority.

But God’s law is considered too harsh for the ears of modern Christians, let alone modern humanists. So they invent theologies to dismiss its abiding validity. In the New Testament we are supposedly no longer under the law. True for justification, but absolutely false for sanctification, both individual and political.
God’s law is and always has been the standard for righteousness and that fact should delight the heart of every Christian (see Ps 19 & Ps 119). If God’s law encoded in Exodus 20-23 does not delight your heart, then its time for a theology-check.
At least some of the anti-Federalists understood this. They were the true American patriots for resisting the godless U.S. Constitution. The Federalists were false patriots. Our founding Federalists sowed the wind of Biblical antinomianism and now we their posterity are reaping the whirlwind.
The Constitution and Declaration of Independence are like Jeroboam’s two golden calves, set up to replace the worship of Jehovah and substitute a man-made law. Why didn’t God’s people recognize and repudiate those golden idols? For the same reason Christians today don’t recognize and repudiate the Constitution and Declaration for the idols they are.
We must recognize them for what they are and repent to God by formally renouncing the godless U.S Constitution as individuals and churches. It is our only hope. Calling for a return to these documents is like a dog returning to its vomit.
Case Closed: If we refuse to judge these idols, God will continue to judge us by means of them. God will inexorably break the back of any nation that formally rejects His law in a document such as the U.S. Constitution.
Obama and Islam are the modern day Babylonians, God has sent this foreign invader to judge His lawless people. Like Israel of old Christian conservatives insist on railing against and resisting God’s rod of discipline without first returning to His law. They demand their supposed inalienable rights at the same time rejecting His law and their responsibility thereto.
The only relief will come with formal repentance from our covenant-breaking founding documents. America was founded as an allegedly neutral, and thus anti-Christian nation in 1787. Jesus said he who is not for me is against me. Christians need to repent of that rebellious act immediately in formal ceremonies of repudiation, repentance and return to the law of God.
A good first step would be to sign the “Confession of Guilt and Petition for Forgiveness in the Matter of Our Forefathers’ Ratification of the United States Constitution”. Study the material on that site and our HistoryMythBusters main site.

Well said Dennis, and so very true. Today’s so called Christians can’t recognize their national idols, the Constitution and the Declaration, and are therefore guilty as named in Isaiah 5:20:
“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!”
“Obama and Islam are the modern day Babylonians, God has sent this foreign invader to judge His lawless people.

Again, well said. We can definitely liken Obama to a modern day Nebuchadnezzar, a foreign king sent to chastise us due to our lawlessness. And this just proves that there is “nothing new under the sun”. Instead of tearing down our ungodly idols, we have further codified them with such additions as The Star-Spangled Banner, The Battle Hymn of the Republic , The Pledge of Allegiance, etc. We can also make the argument that we are in a metaphorical juxtaposition of both the captivities of Egypt and Babylon.
Like Israel in Egypt, we have willingly entered into covenant with our oppressors, thanks in large part to the contract foisted upon us by our Founders, the U.S. Constitution. Like Israel in Egypt, we were lulled to sleep, unaware until it was too late, that we were no longer free. And, like Israel in Egypt, we are now so reconciled to a life of slavery, that no matter the oppression, we forgo the responsibilities of true liberty, in favor of just a slightly lighter yoke.
Like Judah in Babylon, we have been warned repeatedly of the ever declining spiritual state of our hearts. Like Judah in Babylon, we have continually hardened our hearts, choosing instead to chase after idols, eschewing the warnings at every turn, oblivious to the dire consequences. And, like Judah in Babylon, we are now witnessing the wholesale destruction of our families, communities, and nation, carried away into foreign captivity, albeit within our own borders. But unlike Judah’s ultimate repentance in Babylon, we have only dug our heels in deeper, strengthening our resolve to follow our own hearts, rejecting Yahweh, and fashioning idols (gods) after our own hearts, instead of turning our hearts to Yahweh.
“If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve Yahweh, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
