Read it. Still don't get how the 14th amendment says we should take matters into our own hands if congress doesn't act according to our wishes.

You can't take "give me liberty or give me death" out of context. I know you're a "true believer." And I know you don't care what I think of your views, but this is a discussion forum, so let's discuss, shall we?

All after-the-fact

Nice straw man. I did my 4 years proudly.

I don't even know where to begin debunking this revisionist history. You are scary. That Koolaid must be delicious!!! When the Philadelphia convention adjourned in September 1787, its president, Washington, returned home and immediately sent a copy of the new Constitution to Henry, recommending...

Doubletalk

Means just what it says--nothing more, and certainly not apostolic succession. Means just what it says--nothing more, and certainly not apostolic succession. Means just what it says--nothing more, and certainly not apostolic succession. Means "Be encouraged to maintain order and discipline as...

Quite a lofty swerve. My imagination has nothing to do with the quotes you provided.

"Give Me (us white people,because I have many black slaves, even though I myself have declared it is wrong) liberty or give me death!" Henry was also an opponent of the Constitution, by the way. Contrary to popular belief, the founding fathers were very imperfect men who knew each other and...

The Second Coming of Christ

Not nearly as uncomfortable as "It is up to us." Not nearly, indeed. Pile up all the "patriotic" quotes you like. I guess you answered my question about what we should do. Seems as though you're good and ready to cross that bridge. All-or-nothing thinking is what got us into the mess we're in...

'It is up to us" makes me very uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable, indeed.

No, you simply declared it.

Again, a desperate piling up of prooftexts, most of which are not relevant to the argument for apostolic succession at all. Matthew 16:18 is the most widely used and is not in the least convincing when reduced to the Greek.

And how do you figure?

And what would you suggest we do?

Exactly Which they did at the time by actual pastoral (literally meaning flock-feeding) care and to us, the spiritual descendants, by penning Scripture (how else could they feed us?). We Protestants don't wring apostolic succession from Scripture. It's not there.

The Scripture doesn't declare any of these days to set a precedent for a weekly festival. The only weekly festival declared in Scripture is the seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday) commanded by God's voice and His writing on the tables of stone known as the ten commandments. What does it matter? What...

Sounds pretty simple. Would that it were.

That makes Paul and John dead people who happened also to be penmen of Scripture. They were spiritual fathers to the ones they were addressing at the time. You might as well be saying an Azalea bush is actually a Redwood tree.
