 FURTHER THOUGHTS ON THE SUBJECT OF

FAITH VS. POLITICS

I include now excerpts from an article written by

Rabbi Moshe Ben Chaim....

 one that sheds more Light on the controversy surrounding the removal

of the monument commemorating the Ten Commandments.

 This article also validates the positions of:

Ambassador Alan Keyes and Judge Roy Moore

 

"Keyes" to "Moore" Knowledge

The Ten Commandments

Pun intended.

Alan Keyes and Roy Moore are

standing up for precisely what their names indicate,

 and why the Ten Commandments were only ten:

God intended man to search for worlds

of truths, only hinted to in the raw Ten Commands.

They are truly our 'keys to more knowledge'. The lessons of these

 commands don't end with their text. If God wished man to simply read

 and  repeat, "memory" suffices for such activity.

 But God gave each man intelligence and free will -

 the tools for searching God's laws,

 eventuating in our wider application to all areas of life. It was this

independent thought and loyalty to God's Biblical Principles

which guided our  Founding Fathers.

It is again these principles which guide Roy Moore

and Alan Keyes. They wish to follow God's divine directive, not man's

 corrupt violation, and distortion of our Constitution.

 

"One nation under God" is the United States' core Belief.

No one argues this. Is it a crime then, to validate our God?

 "In God we Trust".

Uncontested.

God, Who gave morality to man at Sinai, defined what is liberty

 and what is justice for all.

God's wisdom is deep.

 'What' He wrote is equally important to 'why' He omitted.

Why did the tablets have only ten of the 613 commands ?

We see elsewhere (Deut. 27:3) that the entire Bible was

written three times on three sets of 12 stones.

So why didn't the tablets given to Moses at Sinai contain all

the commands too?

The system of God's knowledge is one of 'derivation' -

 all knowledge cannot be contained

 in writing. God gave us intelligence for the sole purpose of using it.

 

The tablets of only ten commands, created a permanent lesson:

 "All is not here, you must study

continually to arrive at new ideas in My infinite sea

of knowledge".

Therefore, only the head categories of truths are engraved

on these two stones.

Knowledge is arrived at only through thinking.

Since we require a starting point, God inscribed the head categories which

 would lead the thinker to all other Truths, which may be derived from

 these ten.

God's Ten Commandments don't only teach Truths. These Truths are also in

 the Bible. The Ten Commandments were given separate from the

Bible for an important lesson:

Man must use his intelligence to determine what is Truth, and what is

false. Judge Moore and Ambassador Keyes employ this God-instructed

 Method to uncover the tragic denial of God -

our system of justice cannot exist without Him.

Roy Moore and Alan Keyes understand God's directive. They look at our

Constitution as men created by God, guided by God's words.

 To remove God from the equation, is to attack American Justice.

To support God's Words on these Commands, is an endorsement of our

Constitution.

 

A further corruption, is that Moore's opponents attempt not to repress

 religious expression, but to deny historical truth. History, not religion,

 attests to the event at Mount Sinai where God gave His Ten

 Commandments, just as history attests to any event. Sinai and the Ten

 Commandments are not blind, religious acceptance,

but proven historical fact.

Such a miraculous event would not have survived the millennia,

had it never occurred.

The masses at this event testify to its veracity - mass conspiracy is

 impossible. Motive to lie on such a grand scale cannot happen.

 

Divorcing God from our system of Justice is a two-fold crime:

 an outright denial of history, and a corruption of our American Justice

System. This is not a religious issue.

The courts have no say in this matter.

 

It is a crime that more monuments to God's

Keys to Knowledge and Morality do not exist.
