This goes to the core of the writings in the Federalist Papers.
The freedoms afforded in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights can only be enjoyed by a virtuous people.
The warning makes clear that without God fearing virtue, our freedoms can and will be used for evil purpose.
Since our culture has removed God from the public square, in favor of license to sin in a secular environment, we have set a pace for applying our freedoms for evil purpose.
“The freedoms afforded in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights can only be enjoyed by a virtuous people.”
That is pure fiction. Such a people has NEVER existed, per Scripture. If GOD leading a country—displaying signs and wonders—can’t keep men from straying, how is our little old Constitution gonna fair?
Our Constitution is great, of course, but it comes down to the grace of God and His timing and will. Period.
Correct. The core of the problem.
