Section 1. All judicial authority resides in Almighty God and is, therefore, vested in Almighty God by Almighty God. Isaiah 33:221 declares Yahweh2 is King, Lawgiver, and Judge. His sovereignty is inherent in and over all three branches of government. Consequently, any civil judgment not congruent with His perfect law and altogether righteous judgments3 is […]

Article 1: How Would You Write It?
Posted: 2nd August 2013 by Ted Weiland in UncategorizedTags: Article 1, commandments statutes and judgments, constitution
After “completing” the Preamble, for a future generation of our posterity to perhaps use as a guide for doing it right(eous) the next time, I wasn’t necessarily intending to immediately proceed to articles for a future constitution. However, in addition to encouragement from others, this seems to be where the Lord is leading. I proceed […]
PREAMBLE
Posted: 26th July 2013 by Ted Weiland in UncategorizedTags: commandments statutes and judgments, constitution, Preamble
We the people of Almighty God—known Biblically by His memorial name Yahweh,1 the one and only Sovereign over all creation2—humbly submit ourselves as individuals, families, churches, and communities to His rule3 as Judge, Lawgiver, and King.4 Because all power and authority resides with Him,5 we acknowledge that liberty, justice, domestic tranquility, and general welfare for […]
The Preamble: How Would You Write It?
Posted: 12th July 2013 by Ted Weiland in UncategorizedTags: commandments statutes and judgments, constitution, constitutional convention, Constitutional Republic, framers, posterity, Preamble
There are, at least, two Biblical reasons why the Constitutional Republic is one day doomed to fail like all previous man-made governments (Daniel 2:44, etc.): 1) The framers failed to expressly establish government and society upon Yahweh’s immutable morality as codified in His triune law (His commandments, statutes, and judgments). As a result, the handwriting […]
Swallowing Camels… Pt. 7
Posted: 13th June 2013 by Ted Weiland in UncategorizedTags: Article 6, commandments statutes and judgments, constitution, Judge Roy Moore, Marbury v. Madison, Preamble, sedition, supreme law of the land, We the People
In this article, I address another of the Constitution’s more serious “camels”—which Christians should be choking on instead of swallowing. Article 6’s Seditious Supreme Law of the Land Article VI of the Constitution requires all state and federal officials to support that Constitution as the “supreme Law of the Land.” The America people ask no […]
Swallowing Camels… Pt. 3

In this article, I continue to address some of the Constitution’s more serious “camels”—which Christians should be choking on instead of swallowing. Article 1’s Legislative Usurpation Noah Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language defines a “legislator” as “a lawgiver, one who makes laws….”1 How does this definition and Article 1’s Legislative Branch comport […]
10 “Radical” Recommendations
Posted: 11th January 2013 by Ted Weiland in UncategorizedTags: Amendment 1, Amendment 2, Amendment 21, Amendment 8, Amendment 9, Article 1, Article 2, Article 6, Christian Constitutionalism, Christian tests, commandments statutes and judgments, constitution, cruel and unusual punishment, elections, firearms, First Amendment, First Commandment, freedom of religion, monotheism, of by and for Yahweh, polytheism, polytheistic, religious tests, rights, Second Amendment, supreme law of the land
Today’s blog was inspired by Allan Erickson’s post “Some Radical New Year Suggestions for Our Esteemed Leaders…” In it, he offered some excellent suggestions, but I propose that the following ten “radical” recommendations are far superior. #1: I propose the humanistic government of, by, and for the people be replaced with a government of, by, […]
5 Reasons the Constitution is Our Cutting-Edge Issue
Posted: 17th November 2012 by Ted Weiland in UncategorizedTags: 17th-century Christian roots, commandments statutes and judgments, constitution, constitutional framers, cruel and unusual punishment, First Amendment, First Commandment, flat increase tax, graduated income tax, immutable morality, infanticide, Islam, national idol, of by and for Yahweh, righteous judgments, sodomites, sodomy, sovereignty, usury
I’m often asked, “Why is the Constitution such a big issue to you?” My initial response is, “Why isn’t it a big issue to you?” Let me provide a short list of reasons why the Constitution and what it represents should be important to all of us: It defies Yahweh’s sovereignty and morality in nearly […]
