Subject: How literal is the Bible? |
Bible Note: Well, Doc, I believe the Roe v. Wade decision tells us something about how far afield a court can go when it does not use proper hermeneutics in the interpretation of the Constitution of the United States. Ditto for the "separation of church and state" fiasco, wherein the courts are cramming down the people's throats rulings based on a flawed interpretation of the term "separation of church and state." What makes it even more absurd is that the term "separation of church and state" is not to be found in the Constitution. ...... The majority of the American people believe abortion is wrong. The majority of the nation's lawmakers in Congress believe it is wrong, or at least they say they do. Roe v. Wade carried by a 5-4 decision of the U. S. Supreme Court. Some 40 million unborn babies in this country have been brutally murdered as the direct result of the decision handed down to 300 million people by 5 people. Forty million babies have been murdered, not by the will of the majority of the people, not by the will of the majority of the legislators, but by the will of five people, the majority of the nine-member Supreme Court of the United States. We are in big trouble. This is not the way this republic was designed to be governed. The framers of the Constitution never intended (or dreamed) that this nation would be ruled by an oligarchy of nine activist judges wearing black robes, legislating from the bench -- not interpreting the law but making the law. --Hank |
