Interpret It Right!!

This Article was published in Learning Constitutional Law and Understanding Original Intent

    Ok, here is a serious, theological post.
    I am taking the HSLDA Constitutional Law for Enlightened Citizens by Dr. Michael Farris, and am really enjoying it.
    It has shown me that I really don’t know much about our government as it is now. I know a lot about the beginning of our government and why they made the laws and rules they did, but I don’t know how far our government has gone away from the original intent of the Founders.
    Some things I have learned are how our government is not following the Constitution. How much they have changed the meaning of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, ect. to make it fit so it looks like they are doing what they are supposed to. How the government has twisted what the Original Intent of the Founders and Signers were to fit their needs. How they have overstepped the boundaries of their place.
    There is something I would like to share with you all. It is important information that everyone should be aware of. Here is how bad the government has gotten.
    I have actually not gotten to this case yet, but we did cover some of it. I am sure there will be more.

Did you know that had the Supreme Court done their job in Roe v. Wade, there would be no abortion, no free choice about taking innocent babies lives. Had they actually interpreted the Declaration of Independence correctly they would have come to the opposite verdict than the one that was made.
If the Declaration of Independence had been properly used in Roe v. Wade, the Court would have affirmed the right to life of unborn children. In this infamous decision, the Supreme Court majority correctly noted the key phrase from the Fourteenth Amendment was, “No State…shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law….” The majority also correctly said that if an unborn child is a “person” within the meaning of our legal system, then the child has a right to life that would be superior to any claim of a woman to a right to abortion. But the Court said that there was no definitive rule to answer to the question concerning the “personhood” of unborn children.
    The Declaration, however, answers the question: Is and unborn child a legally recognized “person”? The technical question is this: When does a human being become a “person” for the legal purpose of attaining the right to life?
    The Declaration states, “[T]hat all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
    Now had the Supreme Court interpreted the Declaration the right way, with the Original Intent of the Founders, they would have realized that the unalienable right to life starts at the moment our Creator creates us. That is the only reasonable reading of the words of the Declaration.
    But since we have strayed away from the Bible, and our Creator, they decided that a unborn baby is a "person" when it is born.

    We, as humans, think that we have the right to make our own interpretations of things that already are written out for us. But they are Black and White. If we actually read it and realized that it is a certain way, we would not be as bad off as we are. If we just do what it says instead of fitting it to our own needs, we would understand that is was done that way for a reason. People don't just write things like the Constitution for fun. They took alot of time thinking it out, making sure it would work.
    If we just read the Bible, listened to what God is trying to tell us, and did it, instead of reading the Bible, interpreting our own meaning, we would be A LOT better off!!
    People write things because they already know what they mean when they write them. The Founders knew what the meaning of Life was, they understood when Life began because they followed and obeyed God. God knows what is best, and He already gave us the meaning for what is best. Yet, we think that we have to change the Original Intent of things that are set in stone.
    We need to quit making our own meanings out of things and just read what they wrote. There is no reading between the lines in the Bible or the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence, or any document of the sort!!
    They were written because they work. We need to quit changing them, because when we change them, they stop working the way they were supposed to.

Love

Where can I find that class/lecture for myself? I've immensely interested in the danger of losing our parental rights and the status of the 'children's rights' internationally and here at home.
Thanks!!
