I had posted the USA pledge of Allegiance:


"I 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."

Democracy

from greek root words:

1. Dem - build, people

2. Cracy - government, rule, authority

Means government of the people. In Jesus time, the Roman Empire used just that and enforced also their own tyrannical rule and enforced Jewish religious practices when it seemed wise to Rome.

A government of the people can have good and corrupt areas just like any government.

That type of government is only as good as the people are. They must be educated to contribute wisely to areas of the government of the people, as the people of the governing authority. An authority over the people they endorse and support.

They become experienced in knowledge and wisdom with learning and application of ideas, concepts learned. On the job training and work. Aged learning from God and/or trial and error, or others passing the skills, knowledge and wisdom, etc.

Republic

Latin root words:

Re - again, back

Pub - is a word indicating sexually appropriate in published areas. Such as clothed in society, not sexually explicit. Appropriate as adult representatives of the presented society. Adult, mature Israel and Christian society.

Sort of publishing your works, with honorable name also, publishing with woven, printed clothes, uniform, work, dress and leisure clothing appropriate to represent our lords people.

See Joseph and his coat his father gave him, a father of Israel in the old testament.

Genesis 37:

3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.

God created man in his own image, and woman also. Male and female he created. And it was good.

Genesis 3:

1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

American is not a Democracy.

In a Democracy the majority rules, and changes the laws to suit their political outcome.

This is why Democracies end up being Socialist and Communist.


America is a Constitutional Republic whereby the rights of the people are protected under the Constitution and can not be changed by who is in power.

It's actually both a democracy and a republic. The jury system and criminal justice system also both.

Would you beleive it if i told you that it is far easier to decieve the peoples under a two party teir system
than it is under a kings rule or communism .
How so
ESTABLISHEMENT RUNS both sides and pits the peoples against one another
and while one creates the a problem the other then offers us a solution
AND YET its solution came of the establishement that caused the problem .
IN OTHER WORDS or IOW , WE BEING DECIEVED B IG T IME .
And as a w orld establishment it knows how to sell the nations a democracy verses communsion LIE .
How so .
It has convinced them , both of them to race a race of a digital AI system .
each side beleiving they must attain it first
BuT NEITHER SIDE REALIZING its THE WORLD ESTABLISHEMENTS GOAL . simply TO GET ALL NATIONS
into THE SAME DIGITAL system . man is one easy creature to decieve my friend .
But sheep , NOT SO , cause they have no hopes in men , in govts , BuT IN GOD AND IN HIS CHRIST
and they see THROUGH the smoke screen . WE Are all BEING decieved b y the very same establishment .
And wolves in wool KNOW HOW to appear to be OF us , but nope , they lead us only into teh false solutoin .
WE are being decieved . Get everyone out of anything ecumeincal , far away from any int erfaith finding common ground
And away from politics , back into bibles and learning THAT GOD AND HIS CHRIST , HIS DOCTRINE for themselves .

its not , however a pure democracy as g reece on had .
it is a republic . if we were a pure democracy
THEN the majority vote WOULD WIN EVERY TIME .
but i have seen presidents win WITHOUT the popular vote .
NOW that is because we are a republic with elected senators
and thus the vote comes down to electoral votes . now in the case of the electoral votes
THEY DO almost always go with the MAJORITY VOTE within such state .
But if this were a pure democracy , THE POPULAR VOTE WOULD BE THE DECIDING factor as to WHO SITS THE THRONE
as president .
YES we are a democratic system which is a republic . now on that you are correct my friend .
But now allow me to give us all a reminder .
THE KINGDOM of heaven IS NOT a democracy . WHAT THE KING SAYS GOES . and man dont get a vote
on what to heed an d what to follow . What to twist and omit and what to keep .
Just a friendly reminder for us all my friend . our pastors DO NOT DECIDE what is truth and what is not truth .
SOCIETY does not decide what is T RUTH and what is not truth .
We dont not get a say in what is SIN and what is not SIN .
HERE IS WHO GETS THE SAY . GOD DOES , JESUS DOES . and ITS BIBLE TIME N THE HOUSE .

In either a democracy or a Republic, who really is responsible for enforcing law and order.

I wonder if people really know the right answer.

The founders wanted a nation ruled by the consent of the governed. But they feared what Adams called the "tyranny of the majority." So they blended governmental power to keep any one person from holding all of it. It was a solution reminiscent of the Roman Republic before a single man seized power and tryanny ensued. Perhaps we'll be luckier and survive our own challenge from would-be tyrants.

AND GUESS what the majority mindset now is in ALL religoins , in the world and even in christendom .
The god of inclusivity , the god of judge not , the god of lets co exist
the god of ecumen icalism and its mama the harlot .
SO GUESS what is about to happen .
MAJORITY RULE . and anything that wont conform to its love , its solution for peace n safety
REMOVED FROM THE W ORLD . hello digital system that all AGREE WITH
HELLO inclusivity that all agree with
Hello my truth is truth
Hello my way is my truth
WE GOT DUPED BUDDY . by a progressive liberal anti christ mindset
THAT BOTH SIDES BEEN preaching in a way fit to suit those who sit under each side .
My advice .
RUN TO JESUS and OPEN THE B IBLE and be sure ITS HE WE FOLLOW and not some other jesus and some other love .

the haters of biden
the haters of trump will never agree with one anothers politics .
BUT THEY DARN SURE ALREADY agree with the working of that one and self same harlot
who has pumped her anti christ ecumenical cup of whoredoms unto them in a way suited to fit each side .
SOON they will all hear the cry and the voice of the ONE unto whom this was preparing them too all along .
SOON and very soon a tired and worn out people
will HEAR the cry of the final solution of ANTI CHRIST . DONT ya dare say i didnt warn you or them .
I TOLD YOU ALL for years , maybe not you seeing you just arrived , but both sides FOR YEARS
they were being DECIEVED . but b oth sides counted me as the enemy of all enemies and worse even
than the very side they preached against .
CAUSE both sides are LONG worn out with MEN who preach ONLY BIblicAL doctrine , ONLY that JESUS
cause that kind of man exposes BOTH SIDES SINS . Dont blame me . but even if you do
Just know i did what was best for the people . no mat ter how hated i became for doing so . bible time .
AND when i say bible time , I DONT MEAN HEED YA DENOMINATIONS and their men who might teach a wee bit of bible
to ya . I MEAN OPEN IT FOR YOU and learn FOR YOU . and i say that to ALL .
