So sure that extremely brave men and women, families in tow, risked their lives and fortunes to take a stand against monarchies ripe with tyranny, oppression, and bondage of their fellow man. What a great start declaring access to the presence of God, freed from bondage and set at financial Liberty, at your pleasure. Brakah liberality, blessed indeed, Threskos concerning a religious practice of true piety. A practice of essentialism, skills taught first to assure independence of the individual.

Revelation 3:13,14,15,16 " He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.( the Spirit of truth ). And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew the out of my mouth." With that said, the progressive democratic socialist mindset with their neglect and disregard for the individual sovereign has destroyed their cities and hope of the poor and needy they have created.

But for Paul and those set at Liberty with him, study is required for approval, walking by faith, hoping for the appearing. Visitation is key, most never consider with whom they speak, or who it is that speaks of total forgiveness with them. Kipling puts it this way, " When a man is paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins". Liberty simply put. Mysteries seep from the sides of eternity through the mouths of prophets and artist. Tokens of things unseen, yet always present. Teach me then the things I see not, O Lord my Creator. " The law of the lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple." " Moreover by them thy servant is warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward." We walk at Liberty to edify our Creator and to ascribe righteousness to our God.

Using the spark of Liberty to further socialistic intent. Welfare shows lack of trust in the Creator who would have all at Liberty. Being the request made, it shows the worlds contempt for our Creator and Liberty at natural law.

When entering into the "tents" and mingling with the " first nation" of peoples, who by natural design of nature, the Creators natural laws, live in harmony with and are helped and serviced by the goods of the land, There is no right of another to condemn. What is one mans vice is another persons medication. The fruit of the vine and the herb of the field are for the service of mankind. Liberty is a responsibility, moderation is key when " at liberty". Knowing the ancient healing plants for body and mind, being of local knowledge from the "healer". Disruption of their rural natural life, and that of the yoeman farmers comes by way of socialistic intent of the socialist federalist party, call today the democratic party, feeding and medicating the idle hands they have created ! Spooner is always "right on point". !

The comforter, the "Spirit of truth" proceeds from the Father of all comfort. Honesty to stand with thee, Charity to walk with thee, O Lord, my granter of Liberty and Freedom for all. Offensive is the truth, when liars rule among men.

So well said Archer and Mike, As with the back sliding of Israel from " Letting their Children go free" After Proclaiming Liberty to their neighbor and children, then enslaved them once again into bondage. Therefore God proclaims a Liberty to destruction and hardship. The City of Jerusalem was Burned to the Ground ! Yes, even the king of Judah feared reprisal from the princes. Jeremiah was thrown into jail, bound with cords in the mire. and the proclamation burned. God The Creator grants Our Liberty so blessed of God. So it is to understand, no less a situation arises in our once land of Freedom to our Republic under siege !

Very wordy and well said, eloquent ! One of the most common sense statements to date ! In protecting the " Wholesome family unit" from corruption for profit. Enslavement of your fellow neighbor, let alone exaction from strangers. The sovereignty of the individual under/at Liberty endowed by the Creator of heaven and earth. When will people understand " Freewill creates the More Perfect Union of association. By No means is our Republic to be considered a democracy. But a democratic Republican form of government.

Stormer reveals the mentality of compromise embraced by the communistic protestant denomination at large, sub-secs within the church all seeking pay from their quarter. When embracing Liberty, there is No 10% demand."as a man has purposed in his heart, so let him give, for God loves a cheerful giver." The plate is Not passed from one end, to the other.

If you dive, dip, sprinkle, dunk, or just wipe with a damp cloth, your a Baptist practicing works of the flesh for justification. Tithing required when exercising the law of works. Which has been taken Out of the way, to allow for the administration of Liberty under grace, the " the law of faith" dominates the landscape.

The knee jerk reaction, unbelief. "Who having exercise their senses can discern Good from Evil." Experience is our guide and Jefferson was no fool. For it is a fool who puts his trust in man. Harmony between our Declaration and Constitution, for both men exercised well their senses ! Jefferson and Madison ! As with many others in association of/for our " Certain types of Liberty".

Return to the original intent, as is echoed in the quote. State and Individual sovereignty respected.

"When all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated. Election and separation of power would not suffice IF the government could judge its own case regarding constitutionality." ~ Thomas Jefferson. "

"It will be the solem duty of the State Governments to protect their own authority over their own militia, and to interpose between their own citizens and arbitrary power. These are among the objects for which the State Governments Exist; and their highest obligations bind them to the preservation of their own rights and the liberties of their people." ~ Daniel Webster

Eleventh bk, number of change, I Kings chapter 2. KJB. in applied logic, We the People are His children. The darkness of democracy Israel dwells in, and the Light of Liberty America is Blessed with.

As for the hostility, natural reactions. Skilled and unskilled. Jefferson, one of my favorites. Principles of 98, The Sovereignty of each State and Individual to nullify unconstitutional overreach. Our Liberties are distinct in reference to bondage and oppression, manumission from slavery, and liberal access to God our Creator. This Republican Nation is, and has been under siege for many years.
