Pledge
of Allegiance

pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the
Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with Liberty
and Justice for all.

Tax – a payment
imposed upon persons or groups for governmental support. A heavy demand.
Restraint to exercise or make demands on. To make a charge against, accuse.
Are
we free to choose whether or not we would like to participate in the paying of
taxes to support the government? Look at these words under the definition of
tax.
You decide!
Do
we have liberty and justice for All?
All - The total
entity or extent of, the utmost possible. Every, any whatsoever. Each and
every. Nothing but, only. Every way to any extent.

they? Absolutely NOT!
Impartial – not partial,

Are
we ever free of government intervention?
Can
we ever own our own home?
Or,
do we have to pay the King (government) tax on the land even when the home is
paid for?
YES!
King – a man who is

Monarchy – government by
monarch, a state or nation ruled by a monarch.
Do
we have the choice (free will) to pay or not to pay tax?
If
the answer to that is NO! Then we are not free!
We
do not have freedom!
We
do not have liberty!
There
is no justice!
We
are not under God!
For
who is God? A being worshipped by
monotheists (one God) as the perfect, omnipotent (all powerful) omniscient
originator and ruler of the universe.
Monotheist – the belief or
doctrine that there is only one God.
Omnipotent – having
absolute power and authority.
Omniscient – knowing
everything.
Are we a
republic, one nation under God?
Under – location
below or belief, subordination in rank or importance. Degree, rate or quantity
that is lower or less than normal. Lower than below. Less, smaller or lower
than. Subject to control or authority, bound by or obligated by, subject to.
Are
we really one nation under God?
Absolutely
not!
The
laws of this land are made by man!
Not
by God!
Men
who live in darkness who don’t even know God, obey him, live in accordance to
his will or walk in the light of Jesus.
Men,
who judge, destroy, persecute, create pain, hardship, division, dissention, who
exercises power, authority, rule, injustice tax, impose laws and regulations
for profit, gain, not to protect and serve.
Suffice
it to say our government, its policies and practices, procedures, laws,
regulations and taxes is not of God, made by God or endorsed by God.
It
is evil, dark, Satan in disguise.
We
have no freedom, no liberty, we do not live under God, this is not a republic,
we are divided – one against another thanks to attorneys and others.
There
is no justice; justice is not meted out judiciously or fairly.
Our
justice system pits fathers against their wives, children, friends, neighbors,
coworkers, and mothers the same and children the same and each and every one of
the same.
Where
is the justice in that?
I
think anyone in America would like to take their freedom back, live under God,
have their civil liberties restored, have a choice in taxation, own their own
property when their house is paid for.
We
no longer desire to be slaves (serfs) under control of a tyrant (monarch) that
continually oppresses us, lays heavy demands upon us, creates pain, misery and
suffering.
Our
government is out of control and we have to live with it and find peace,
happiness and joy in it.
Today
is Independence Day, July 4th. Today we celebrate our independence
from the tyrannical rule of the monarch of England. Men and who of our country
fought for the freedom, the liberty from the heavy tax and burden imposed upon
them from the King of England.
On
December 16,
1773
we had the Boston Tea Party and the purpose of that uprising, the throwing of
tea imported from England into the Boston harbor was to demonstrate our
founding fathers’ unwillingness to pay the heavy tax on tea that was levied by
the King of England. Their act of defiance led to a war between the people of
the United States and England of which the men and women successfully fought
and won their freedom from the King of England. They fought over freedom of
tax, freedom of the absolute power and authority of a central figure, they
fought for their civil liberty and they won!
Are
we any different today?
Have
things changed for the better?
Or
for the worse?
Do
we have a ruler (king)? – Yes we do! Although we call that ruler a President.
Does
our ruler have a military to enforce the rules regulations and tax imposed by
the king?
Yes
we do!
They
are called our government officials including the military, our public
officials, our police force; the three branches of government. All have been
created to usurp the power of the people and put it back in the hands of the
king who rules over his land.
Usurp – to seize and
hold illegally and by force.
We
had a fight of freedom, liberty, life under God, justice for all.
All
that has been usurped or taken away from us illegally and by force.
We
are owned (slaves, serfs) by the king and are forced by the threat of
imprisonment to pay taxes to the king.
In
fact if we don’t pay taxes to the king on our land even though we own our home,
the king can seize our home by force, confiscate it, throw us in prison or out
in the street and claim it as their own to do with what they like.
Is
that freedom?
Is
that liberty?
Is
that fair?
Is
that justice?
Is
that under God?
Is
that what God would do?
No
way!
Our good Lord
wants us all to live in peace and harmony, not divisiveness and inequity.
A
tithe offering was given to the priest to be housed in the store house of the
needs of all who were in need, to build up the church and to pay those who
labored for the Lord. Even though they had kings and rulers at that time, they
did not levy them with a tax so burdensome that the people rebelled and caused
uprising and civil or uncivil disobedience.
Should
we be celebrating our independence from England?
Yes.
July
4th is also a reminder that although we gained our independence from
England we still live under the same rules, regulations and laws, only the
names, practices and procedures have changed.
Nothing
has changed once from my perspective, things in America is much, much, much
worse today than under the rule of the King of England.
Freedom,
liberty, justice for all, not any more.
As
for me and my house, we choose to serve the Lord.
Pledge
of Allegiance
I
pledge allegiance to my Lord, the omniscient, the omnipotent, the originator
and ruler of the entire universe and in his son, Jesus Christ, a living
sacrifice for the redemption of sin of all mankind who is the absolute truth life
and light of the universe and through his mercy and grace I have been given
Eternal life.
I
do not pledge allegiance to man but to my Father in Heaven, through him all
things were made and just by believing in the name of his son Jesus Christ; I
have been given through his grace and mercy eternal life.
Freely I have
been given freely I choose to give.
Several
pages ago I said if you have to pay for it, whatever it is, it is not from God.
What I was referring to had to do with the church and the ministry of the
church.
The
Lord freely gave us his son to die on the cross for the redemption of our sins,
he freely gave us mercy, grace and forgiveness, what the Lord gives us is free.
What
man gives us cost or has a price tag associated with it, the last thing our
Lord gave us was free will.
The
freedom to choose, to discern for our self whom we will serve, our Lord or man.
There
is hope from a tyrannical government; the hope is in our Lord. We do have to
live in this world, we must obey the rules and regulations set forth by man.
Matthew 22:21 – give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God
what is God’s.
We
are God’s children, he created us and made us in his likeness, his spirit
dwells with in us, and we need to give our self over to God.
We
need to pay Caesar what is Caesar’s – money and give God what is God’s, our
self.
We live in this
world; however, we are not of this world.
Have
faith my friend, don’t lose hope, and help lives with in you.
Kneel
down and pray to the Lord accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and he
will send the comforter.
The
light of life lies within you for the asking, you and only you are in control
over your own immortal and eternal destiny.
Living with
unbelievers in an unjust society is a test of faith.
Heavenly
Father knows that sin abounds in our society, he asks us to have faith and
believe in him, do not doubt, do not worry, do not be critical or negative,
don’t complain, stay positive, everything will work out in the end.
Our reward waits
for us in heaven.
With
unbelief all around us we must remain strong and not get distracted or caught
up in the evils of the world. We must remain focused with an eye single to his
glory.
1 Corinthians
10:31
– So whether you eat or drink or whatever
you do, do it for the glory of God.
Praise
to you Lord Jesus Christ, may the entire honor and glory be yours.
Thank
you my Heavenly Father for the guidance and counsel of the Holy Spirit.
I
choose to have faith and believe in the name of your son Lord Jesus.
Watch
over my family today, bring to them peace, happiness, joy, and the comfort of
the Holy Spirit. Blessed be your name, now and forever.
Amen
